I‘m back for another Home for the Holidays giveaway! We’ve got 15 giveaways across the entire network this week—all great gift ideas, perfect for the holidays.
Today’s giveaway is super fun for me as someone who not only loves to travel but also has a penchant for maps… if you or someone you love can relate than you’re going to love today’s giveaway.

Today I’m giving away a lovely set of jewelry from I Heart Maps.
This collection includes a Carry-On Cuff bracelet (pictured above), a Nomad Necklace, and a Rail Ring, each one showcasing a custom map.
Learn more about this beautiful jewelry and how to win the collection.
Pretty jewelry isn’t hard to find, but what makes the lovelies from I Heart Maps unique, is of course, the maps! Each piece showcases the location of your choice, on a vintage map, whenever possible.
I love the idea of keeping certain places close to my heart. For my cuff bracelet, which features the largest map of the three, I chose my beloved San Diego coastline. My necklace showcases the city where I studied abroad in college, Santiago, Chile, and my ring has the western coast of Oahu, where my husband and I went on our honeymoon.
Each map, and therefore piece of jewelry, evokes a memory or a feeling of home, which would make for a meaningful gift for a friend or loved one.
I Heart Maps only just recently launched so you can be among the first to wear this whimsical jewelry! The company was founded my a dear friend of mine, Kelley, a talented designer, who loves to travel (and has a super cute family). Kelley also has a heart to make a difference with her work. Each customer who purchases from I Heart Maps gets to choose one of Kelley’s favorite local charities, which will receive 20% of the proceeds.
One Simple Organic reader will win a Carry-On Cuff, a Nomad Necklace and a Rail Ring from I Heart Maps, each showcasing the map of the winner’s choice.

About Nicole
I’d pick a map that included the Ansel Adams wilderness, which is where my husband and I first backpacked.
coleen´s latest post: being Christian is not an excuse
Hmmm, maybe PEI, my husband’s home province!
My first choice would be Honolulu, HI – my home town!
I would love to have a set birthplaces- Boston (for Mama), Fairfax, VA (for Big Girl) and Bissau, Guine-Bissau (for baby girl)!
I wouldn’t; I have a sister-in-law who adores maps, so I would definitely let her pick something! If it was up to me, though, I’d pick Ottawa, my first “home-away-from-home” and the place where I got married, had my first child, and learned how to be an official “grown-up”.
Cynthia´s latest post: Weekend Reading
I have a very special place in my heart for Gold Beach OR. It’s where my husband and I decided there was more to our friendship then we ever thought before.
I would want either Washington state or Seattle. Born and raised
Hmmm…my first choice would probably be either Oahu, where my husband took me on our honeymoon, or Kauai, where we vacationed this past summer. Both were extraordinary trips!
Nikki´s latest post: { Thanksgiving }
My first choice would probably be Amelia Island, in north Florida. It’s my all-time favorite beach, there is great pizza, and it’s not far from where I graduated college.
I would choose hanalei, Kauai where my husband and I had our destination wedding.
I am a fan of both on facebook.
Kristy Tucker´s latest post: a super-hero…
Mt. Kilimanjaro, Africa. I spent a summer there in high school and LOVED it.
Archer´s latest post: Bacon Dates a Jalapeño
I would choose either Yosemite or London. Totally different from each other but both special to me in their own way. Yosemite is my place to unwind and breathe, but London is where we spent several months before our daughter was born.
My hometown where I grew up. Fond memories of that place.
I’d pick a map of Yosemite because that’s where my girls truly fell in love with the great outdoors.
Cari´s latest post: The Act of Waiting
liked on fb, too.
Arandas, Jalisco, Mexico – my dad’s hometown.
I’d pick Kansas City, Missouri. That’s where I went to college and fell in love with jazz.
I like both on Facebook!
Austria…where my hubby and I met and I began to love the mountains. Or London…because I just love London.
Sam´s latest post: Catching up
I like both on FB!
Sam´s latest post: Catching up
I think I’d pick southwest China – it’s a place that is very dear to both my husband and I.
Rachel @ The Travel Pen´s latest post: How Living Cross-Culturally is Like Any Good Marriage
I’d pick Iowa, where I was born and raised.
Detroit. It’s my home.
I’d choose Kenya, our current home.
I would choose Kona, Hawaii because it evokes such a blissful feeling. I know this is where I belong.
Thanks for the great giveaway!
Riverside, CA to remember….
I like Simple Organic and I Heart Maps on Facebook!
I would like a topo map of the farm I grew up on. Or a map of Tanzania where our Compassion child lives to remind me to pray. Or the western side of MI where my daughter was born and so many friends still live. So many choices! But I love the idea of map jewelry
Texas or Hawaii! My two homes that I’m torn between.
Its a challenge to pick just one. Either the small town where I got married or Acadia, my favorite get away.
Our home town here in central Florida!
Tough one, but I think Greece…although my hometown in Iowa would be a nice, nostalgic pick as well!
The first place I would pick would be Bhutan, where I studied abroad for a summer in college. It’s a tiny little country sandwiched between the superpowers of China and India so no one has ever heard of it, and I could use a daily reminder of that amazing experience.

Shana´s latest post: multitude monday
Alaska – where I grew up & SOOOO miss!
fb
Iowa. I grew up there, and I love the midwest. After 10 years of living in the south, I convinced my husband to move back to the midwest so our kids could experience all four seasons.
I would like NYC – it has a special place in my heart.
I’d pick my hometown. So much meaning there
Anne @ Modern Mrs Darcy´s latest post: A New Advent Tradition That Might Actually Work For Our Family
I would pick Europe/Eastern Europe, where I’ve been living these past 18 years as an ex-pat.
Toronto, where we honeymooned 10 years ago.
I would choose one with Chicago for my mom, since that is where she grew up, and one with Charleston, SC for me, since that is where I live. Very cool!
Courtney´s latest post: I Like Shiny Things
I would choose the small town of Scottsville, KY. I would gift these beautiful pieces of jewelry to two of my very good friends, each of which I met working at a wonderful summer camp in that town!
A map of Kabul, Afghanistan to give to my friend who’s worked there and has such a heart for the people.
Oh how I love these pieces! We are about to move overseas, which would make this a very special prize to me. My first map choice would be of the Texas hill country, aka Home.
I liked both on FB. Thanks for this great prize!
i would choose vietnam where my first daughter (and homefully future children!) was born… and michigan where we make our home now.
