HoliDIY Ornament Contest

To help the Marketplace Events office get in the holiday spirit, we challenged our team members to a friendly DIY competition. Employees from every department, all across the US and Canada, were invited to try their hand at making a cute, original, and fun ornament. There were no restrictions on size, style, or influence. Employees were encouraged to be as creative as possible, with just over a month to make their entry.

Here's Where You Come In!

We need our beloved fans to help us choose a winner! Please visit our Facebook page to see all the ornaments we created and vote for your favorite. Voting will run from December 7th until the 25th at midnight. You can vote once per day.

VOTE: Where would you rather spend time with your loved ones? A vs. B

Happy Valentine's Day from all of us here at Home and Garden Events! A lot of people think that Valentine's Day is about giving flowers, chocolates, and jewellery, and while those gifts are very pleasant, today should be about spending time with loved ones.

So today we're asking you, out of these two spaces, which space would you choose to spend time with your loved ones?  Space A, with the romantic reds and navy blues? Or Space B, the turquoise and yellow dream?

Images A via Dream Green DIY - Image B via Dream Green DIY

Which one did we choose?

We love the cozy and elegant feeling of space A (source).

Do you agree with our pick?

Please, let us know your choice below!
