Bed Bouquet (GIVEAWAY)

October 19th, 2009

THIS CONTEST IS CLOSED!!!

Bed Bouquet is a small fragrance pack that you place on your mattress, under your bottom sheet to keep your sheets smelling fresh for 30 days. It is such a simple concept it makes you wonder why no one thought of it sooner. Bed Bouquet was inspired by the creators Mom. One day she told her son that she wished there was some sort of product to keep her linens smelling fresh. Us Moms, we are inspiring!

The general concept surrounding the creation of Bed Bouquet was to develop an apparatus that would be physically unnoticeable to the sleeper, yet, emit a soft fragrance throughout the bed sheets for weeks in order to eliminate the need for daily application. It was also important to ensure that the unit be designed to avoid all chemical-to-skin contact that could lead to irritation. The results, a specially designed fragrance pad with a pliable housing and adhesive backing that when placed on the mattress contours with the sleeper’s body position, thus, going undetected. The top openings of the apparatus allow a mild and tantalizing scent to permeate throughout the sheets giving consumers daily enjoyment of their selected fragrance. Bed Bouquet uses only the finest oils to capture the essence of the fragrance and all oils are certified by the International Fragrance Association.

I started out with my Bed Bouquet near the head of the mattress. Well, that was a little too strong for me so I placed it in the middle of the mattress which turned out to be perfect. I think as the days go by and the fragrance pack isn’t as strong I will be able to move it up…but for at least the first week mine will always go in the middle.  They have many different scents so there is something sure to please most everyone’s tastes. Hmmm, would that be tastes or sniffs. Sniffs I think. Or Sniffers.

Anyway….Bed Bouquet is offering you the chance to try out a set of Bed Bouquet Secret Scentsations for yourself. Two lucky readers will win a sample kit which includes two units.

To Enter: Visit Bed Bouquet and take a look around. Leave a comment here on this post telling me which scent you would choose, or something that you learned on their site. All entries must be received by Oct. 28th at 5 PM EST. All entries must have a valid US mailing address. Winners will be selected at random and will have 3 days to respond to the verification e-mail.
