A Giveaway A Day - Wednesday, 1/26

Another day, another prize to give away! Thanks once again to everyone who commented, liked and retweeted their way into this contest -- but alas, there can be only one winner. The envelope has been handed to me and the Oscar -- er, I mean, the Per Annum Prize Pack goes to....

Congratulations, Chesnye! We hope this prize pack helps keep you organized throughout the year in all facets of life. We will contact you shortly with instructions on how to claim your prize.

We're having another cold, snowy winter day here in NYC, which ties right into today's giveaway. Now, you may or may not be aware that Per Annum is the official North American retailer of Nannini FlatSpecs and Sport Specs -- an Italian-made line of unique eyewear ranging from compact, to high-end sunglasses specially designed for different sports and activities.

So, today we are giving away a pair of Nannini Sport Trend Mountain Sunglasses, which are specially designed for the snow and winter sports enthusiast.  Going skiing, or mountain climbing, or just braving a snowy commute to work? These sunglasses can help. As an added bonus, if you win, you can choose one of four colors:  Red, Green, Yellow or Orange.
These glasses have a retail value of $200 and are currently on sale for 50% off at www.FlatSpecs.com -- but you can have them for free!

To enter, simply leave a comment below and tell us where and/or how you'd most like to use these glasses. As always, for additional entries, you can Like our contest post on Facebook or follow us on Twitter and RT our contest post there. We will choose a random winner tomorrow, Thursday, January 27th at around 2 p.m. EST.

Good luck, and stay warm! (Unless you're already living in a warm climate, in which case, please don't rub it in!)

SPOTTED: Brad Pitt is a FlatSpecs Fan!

 

Well, imagine our surprise when we were alerted to the following photo in the British Daily Mail:

Yup, that's Brad Pitt sporting some stylish-looking reading glasses.  But wait -- don't those specs look familiar?  They are none other than our very own Nannini FlatSpecs Readers!  (Style Compact 1 in the Dolphin color, to be exact -- click here to find them on our website.)  Per Annum has been the official North American retailer of these Italian-made specs for several years and they have slowly but surely been gaining traction here in the States -- needless to say, this celebrity sighting makes us very happy!

Brad, it's great to see that you're a FlatSpecs fan!  If you need any other colors for yourself, or if you'd like to give a pair to Clooney as a gift, or perhaps some similarly-styled sunglasses for Angie and the kids, you can find them (and more) online at www.FlatSpecs.com.

A Giveaway A Day - #3

Another day, another giveaway! Thanks to all who participated over the past 24 hours with their comments, retweets and Likes. However, there can only be one random winner, and the lucky recipient of the Making memories scrapbooking kit is a user who goes by the name.....

AllTheWiser

Congratulations, Wiser (can I call you Wiser?) and thanks again for your comment (not to mention your Twitter entry -- a very wise move indeed)! We will contact you shortly with instructions on how to claim your prize.

Now it's time for today's giveaway. You already know that Per Annum is the publisher of the popular City Diaries, as well as a leading retailer of photo albums and scrapbook supplies. But did you also know that we are the official North American retailer of Nannini FlatSpecs Eyewear? Our company president discovered these unique, flat-folding reading and sunglasses during a trip to Italy and the rest is history. Today, we'd like to give you a chance to win a special Nannini FlatSpecs prize pack containing a colorful array of Solemio sunglasses (retail value $100).
