If I learned one thing from Kim’s #GiveALLTheThings month of giveaways, it is the free stuff makes people feel good. I certainly didn’t learned HOW to actually win anything, but I guess that’s a different thing. I have been having a pretty rotten past few days, so I figured a giveaway would make me (and the winner) feel better.

I didn’t really have a long Christmas list this year but I did mention maybe wanting another Vera Bradley ID pouch for my Dexcom CGM. There was a lot of great stuff for me under the tree, but no pouch to be found.

Hypothetically, at the same time, someone in my family was given a gift by someone else in my family and they didn’t really think they had a use for it. They also didn’t really have a way to return the gift, but I did. Said gift return gave me a bit of store credit.

Now I am sharing that store credit with one of you! A Vera Bradley ID pouch (and keychain) for me and one for one of you. The pattern pictured in this post is the pouch pattern available in the giveaway (Va Va Bloom on their website).

If you or someone you love has a Dexcom CGM you can follow this tutorial inspired by Jewels to make it fit the CGM receiver. If you don’t have the Dexcom, well then you (or someone you love) will have an awesome accessory for a night on the town.

Just leave a comment on this post with your favorite technique for making diabetes fit into your personal style – yes, even if you are a dude. Dudes have style.

The contest will close at 11:59 pm on Sunday, January 13th and I will use a random number generator to select a winner.

My blog has suddenly been getting caught in my work’s web filter and I heard others have been having the same problem so I want to make sure that everyone has a fair chance to enter.

Disclosure: Vera Bradley has no idea about this post and is in no way a sponsor of the giveaway. The unnamed relative who supplied the store credit might be a sponsor of the post – if he/she had any idea about it.
