Win a Trip for Two to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico

by Annie Scott (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Jewelry, Luxury Travel & Hotels

Two things we like, luxury travel and jewelry, are in perfect harmony in the upcoming giveaway from Delamina.com.

The "Make a Statement" contest asks that you "write a statement of no more than 15 words beginning with the word "Because" and answering the question: "Why should a woman buy jewelry for herself?" and submit at least 1, and up to 3 different descriptions of photographs to go with the statement. Submit as many entries as you wish." (Full details and rules here.) The grand prize trip includes airfare and accommodations for two in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico for four nights and five days and $500 cash.

And while you're entering the contest, why not have a poke around the rest of the site, which is specially designed for women to empower themselves by buying their own jewelry. Remember when Cher sent herself flowers in "Clueless" to make Christian jealous? You could also use it like that -- but don't forget, Christian turned out not to like girls.

Ahem. You can read profiles of all the designers Delamina carries (including Ian Saude, Daniel K and Susan Foster) here, or shop by "Tips and Trends." And for the woman who has everything? They have a "One of the Kind" section where you're sure to see something that you don't have -- and nobody else has either. Check out some of our favorites from this unusual collection below.

1800 Tequila introduces Select Silver... and The Man Cave

by Jonathon Ramsey (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Spirits

Not too long ago it was rare to meet those who considered themselves connoisseurs of tequila -- a drink known more for body shots and the occasional blackout. However, with the recent openings of tequila-only bars on East Coast and West, The Age of Agave could be upon us.

Enter 1800 Select Silver, a partially aged and double-distilled firewater that is the only 100-proof silver tequila in the world. Smooth on the way in, it fills the taste buds with fruit-tinged agave flavor before a soft finish. In fact, being easy to imbibe and 25 percent stronger than other silvers, in the wrong hands it could be too good -- it is, after all, still tequila.

It is also the world's only tequila to come with a ManCave. Until August 15, you can throw your name in the sombrero at www.1800tequila.com/mancave, and get a shot at winning $10,000 to create the ultimate hangout spot. Even though it's called a cave for men, we've met more than a few women hale enough to send us packing when the tequila flowed, so anyone should feel free to enter. And if you win, don't be surprised if we ask to come over...

You can live in a luxury apartment in the West Village for just ten percent of the usual rent.

To enter you need to go make a 30-second video at one of the Daffy's store locations saying why you deserve the apartment. Daffy's will narrow entrants down to five finalists and their videos will be voted on by the public September 7 through September 16. The winner will be announced on October 1 and will move in then for one year. Daffy's is also opening up a pop-up shop in the building's vacant retail space. More details are available on the Daffy's website.

CAO LX2 Photo Contest Winners Announced

by Tom Johansmeyer (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Cigars

If you're not following CAO on Twitter, you're missing something ... specifically, free cigars. There were more than 100 entries on Stogie Fresh, with the winning prizes far from trivial. The top spot came with an LX2 Limited Edition Humidor, with #2 getting a box of CAO LX2 cigars and #3 picking up an LX2 sample pack and a CAO ashtray.

Participants were certainly varied, with entries running from classical to truly creative. Cigars wore suits, brandished light sabers and sat alongside pints of beer. This is why judges had a tough time whittling down the final 40 to three winners and a few honorable mentions.

The winner, who posed a CAO LX2 on a craps table, probably won the judges over with his tag line: "Always a good bet."

If you're on Twitter, keep an eye on @aocigars, as this isn't the only contest I've seen.
