Tintin + Cost Plus World Market + Chocolate = Giveaway

**Giveaway closed.**  Congrats to the winner: Punkinmama  !!


Oh I do love a chocolate giveaway!  More about that in a bit though...

Have you seen the movie The Adventures of Tintin?  My family saw the movie and thoroughly enjoyed it!  Lots of high adventure and amazing lifelike animation!  It may be a bit much for younger children - you can check out the info and trailer and decide.  My son is 12 and he absolutely loved it!  I loved it too!  I first discovered the Tintin books in the library when I was a kid and really enjoyed following his adventures.

One of my fave stores - Cost Plus World Market , a specialty retail store featuring items from all around the world - now has an exclusive line of Tintin products based on the movie!


They have things like Tintin metal lunch boxes, mugs, travel pasta that comes in fun shapes and a few more items!  But better than all that (in my world anyway), is this - Tintin chocolate bars!  Each of 4 different bars is a different flavor and has a different character from the movie.  I bought a milk chocolate bar to share with my family and it was yummy - of course!
A little side note - are you a World Market Explorer?  If you love the store, then you need to sign up - go check out the perks - like 10% off when you sign up which means getting chocolate for less!  I especially like that you earn a free bag of World Market coffee for every 6 that you buy!  Hint - you get double credits for coffee purchases on Wednesdays, so buy all your bags of coffee on Wednesdays and earn a free bag after buying just 3!!

Back to the chocolate!  I get to offer one of you dear readers (U.S. only) 4 Tintin chocolate bars in a variety of flavors!  Woo Hoo!

**Giveaway closed.** How to enter:  Simply leave a comment on this post!  If you'd like an extra entry, feel free to share about the giveaway through your favorite social media and come leave a separate comment letting me know!  Giveaway will be open until Monday 1/16/12 at 9pm PST.  Winner will be chosen using Random.org.

Disclosure:  I did not receive anything of value to do this post - not even free chocolate! :) All opinions are my own as always.

Have a chocolatey day friends!

    Well I'll be your first comment because Random.org NEVER picks one and since I can't eat the chocolate I just wanted to say "Hi" since I'm the most dedicated commenter you have. LOL! But in case it does, I want to be able to pick another person. LOL! I'm difficult like that.

    Big World Market rocks but I already have a surplus of their coffee so the double points are going to have to wait size hugs to you!
    Love you girlie!

    Those bars look delicious. Thanks for the chance to win! Thanks, too, for trying the chocolate so you could make us all want some. ;)

    We don't have World Market stores in my area, but I placed my first online order with them in December.

    I am intrigued by the coffee comment... I don't drink it but hubby does. I'm going to send him the link and have him check it out.

    So want to see the TinTin movie.. but I know I'll have to wait till it comes out on DVD as my Mama takes the kids to most movies!

    And um... love chocolate and will be happy to stand in for Kim's spot too LOL

    My son and I have been wanting to go see Tin Tin, but his school and sports schedule have made it difficult. I'm happy to hear another 12 year old liked it! Thanks for the opportunity to win chocolate! Hugs!
