Know someone stuck in the ICU this holiday season? We want to send one lucky winner a basket of $100 worth of gutsy goodies of your choice! Just tell us the story of your family member or friend on our Facebook page, why he or she has major guts, and why it sucks to have a hysterectomy for Hanukkah, or a cholycystectomy for Christmas and why they need guts to get better while they are away from family and friends! We’ll also throw in some love for the awesome nurses as well. Gastrointestinal gift basket? Heart care package? The choice is yours! Winner will be chosen at random Dec. 20th, U.S. entries only, sorry international people, good luck!

Free Plush Hearts!
Posted: Tuesday, March 9th, 2010
Don’t forget to visit and enter Chronicle Books’ I Heart Guts giveaway, which ends this Friday — five lucky winners will get a free plush heart, Spill Your Guts journal, I Heart Guts mix and match stationery set, stickers, and “I Work In Detox” liver lapel pin. All ya have to do is tell ‘em your favorite organ and why and you’re entered. Some of our favorite comments so far: “My bladder makes sure I never oversleep, it interrupts long road trips to keep them from getting boring, it gives you an excuse to inspect someone’s bathroom.” AND “As a new dad, I have to go with the uterus! Due to a bit of (mis)fortune the doctor actually held up my wife’s uterus for me to “check out”. Umm, not such a pretty site. Thankfully, I have managed to replace that image in my mind with your adorable plushie.” AND “I love the liver – it allows us to enjoy the finer things in life such as champagne, chocolate and hot chips. Sorry liver.” Winners are picked at random, but we’ll keep our guts crossed for your good fortune! NOTE: The contest is NOT ON THIS BLOG, it’s right here on Chronicle Books’ blog.
Win Free Glands — Gland Giveaway!
Posted: Thursday, October 9th, 2008
I’ve been hankering to make a gutsy or glandy magnet set, but these being lean times and all, well, that idea will likely fall into the “make those later” basket. Wouldn’t it be cute to slap a mammary gland on a note to buy more milk? Or perhaps the salivary glands need something mouth-watering? What would the adrenal glands care for — more coffee? I got some magnet sheets and crafted a few handmade gland magnet sets — and you can have one when you win our gland contest! Leave your reply in the comments section below with your name, email (we will not use it for any other purpose other than to contact you and it will not be made public) and the correct answer to this question: “What’s the major difference between endocrine glands and exocrine glands?” Two winners will be chosen at random. Good luck!
