This week's freebies and deals: something cool for bakers, personalized labels, an ice tea maker, and gift certificates for jewelry and dry cleaning, plus much more!

Let's dive in, shall we?

Free Stuff: No more smooshed cupcakes, brownies, or deviled eggs at potlucks!
Okay, I'm just going to say it. This is one of the coolest things you've ever seen. Trust me. And even better, it was designed by a woman.

How many of you have spent countless hours decorating your homemade pastries, cupcakes, pies and cookies that could pass as works of art—only to show up at your event or outing with dented danishes and crushed cupcakes? One of them, Angela Nardis, came up with an ingenious solution for you.

Angela invented the new Baker's Sto 'n Go (www.bakersstongo.com), the first container of its kind designed for the safe storage and transportation of baked goods of ALL kinds. With a removable handle, it safely transports everything from cookies and cupcakes to pies and pastries, ensuring that epicurean works of art don't touch each other or get smooshed in transit. Adjustable trays accommodate almost any combination of bakery masterpieces, and the container is virtually
airtight, as well as microwave/dishwasher safe. Genius!

One lucky BlogHer will win this Baker's Sto 'n Go worth $19 retail. Simply send an email to freestuffandfabdeals (at) gmail (dot) com with the word "STO 'N GO" in the subject line. Be sure to use
a real email address so I can contact you if you win. Good luck!

Free Stuff: Ever pick up the wrong bag off the luggage carousel? Then you need this:
Hey! Grab that black suitcase off the carousel, will you? Does that strike fear in your heart? Then you need UBrand personalized labels for your suitcase (and not that ribbon around the handle like you've been using). And guess what? UBrand labels? Also designed by a woman.

UBrand is a patent-pending, super-adhesive luggage label. Personalize your luggage with letters or with a selection of unique and colorful graphics.

UBrand's gift to you: Use coupon code BLOGHER08 and receive free shipping on your order! When placing an order, select first-class-mail shipping and then on the following payment page, you will have the option of inputting the coupon code. Then it will deduct the shipping cost from the order.It will expire at the end of April. But that's not all!

Three lucky BlogHers will win these labels: your choice of (2) graphic labels or (3) letters for your monogram. Simply send an email to freestuffandfabdeals (at) gmail (dot) com with the word "UBRAND" in the subject line. Please indicate which (2) graphics you'd like or which (3) letters you'd like (not both). Be sure to use a real email address so we can contact you if you win. Good luck!

Free Stuff: Iced tea brewed the way it should be
Tea Forté re-imagines iced tea allowing you to brew fresh, flavor-forward iced teas using Tea Forté’s specially blended infusions of tea, fruit and herbs and then flash-chill them instantly. The result is an invigorating iced tea experience that is flavorful, refreshing and healthful. Adding to its appeal is the elegant design of the dual pitcher-brewing system. Tea Forté teas comes in four signature flavors: White Ginger Pear, Raspberry Nectar, Pomegranate Blackberry, and Ceylon Gold

As part of their promotion, Tea Forté is giving away a Tea-Over-Ice infusing pitcher plus a Portico Collection box which includes 12 infusers, 3 of each variety listed above to one lucky BlogHer!
