Much like a man, a good decorative piece is hard to find. Flannery O'Connor had something right. And so does Bobbi's Hallmark. That's why we selected the Red Tuscan Stoneware Jars available there in our February Stuff We Like feature. These jars are the perfect combination of old world design and chic modern style.

So now that the weather is warming and the sun is casting its rays on all your dusty, out-of-date décor, it's time for a few new knick-knacks to find their way into your home. That's why where pleased to offer a $25 gift certificate to Bobbi's Hallmark to this weeks' Stuff We Like contest winner.

Every girl's crazy for a sharp-dressed man. It's true, ZZ Top had somethin' right...despite those ridiculous beards. So any man who's looking to improve his fashion need only take hints from us and maybe some direction from Emporium Western Store.

It's the exact place we spotted this trendy jacket and new we had to feature in our latest installment of Stuff We Like. But they've also got other clothes for the fashionable male, so this week's contest winner will come away with a $25 gift certificate to Emporium Western Store.

You can fit a lot of cool knick-knacks in a trunk—baseball cards, books, old clothes, and even timeless treasures. So a one-of-a-kind, ornately-carved trunk is the perfect complement to your heirlooms. Of course, it's also just a cool piece of furniture for your abode. That's why we chose this trunk from Timeless Furnishings for the second installment of Stuff We Like, featured in the February issue (on newsstands now). We think it's groovy. But there are tons of other one-of-a-kind items to be found. That's why you should be excited that this week's contest has a $25 gift certificate to Timeless Furnishings up for grabs. It's a place to find something unique!

Oh, to be wrapped in gold. It's how every woman wants to enter a party, right? Well, if they can't be wrapped in gold, they should at least look as good as gold. One way to do that is by donning the stylish (and gold) Cynthia Steffe Dress from La Coquette we included in the Stuff We Like feature in our December issue. You could also try spraying a regular dress gold with spray paint—but we don't recommend that. Those fumes can't be good for you.

By entering our seventh contest posted in our Stuff We Like Blog, you can win a $25 gift certificate to La Coquette (for your other dress needs). All you have to do is email us at stuffwelike@bakersfieldmagazine.net by Wednesday, January 27 with your name, contact number, and address.

The right pair of boots can pull an outfit together, make a statement, or put a hop in your step. That's why we selected these Boutique 9 boots from Fashionista for the December issue of our Stuff We Like feature. And what goes with a great pair of boots?

We're jazzed to see that so many of you are loving our Stuff We Like contests! If you haven't gotten in on the action yet, this is the perfect time to enter. Because in the ever-so-topical words of Gwen Stefani, “What You Waitin' For?”

Thank you, Gwen, that's the perfect tie-in to this week's contest. No doubt you all remember the L.A.M.B. purse we featured in our first installment of Stuff We Like in the December issue of the magazine.

Well, not only is it part of Ms. Stefani's uber-cool line of gear, but you can get your paws on it here in Bakersfield at House of Talula. And thanks to your city magazine (that's us!), you can also get your paws on a $25 gift certificate to House of Talula. Want to know how?

Baby wants a fur coat! OK, not real fur. But we really are talkin' about your baby.

When it's chilly outside, there's no warmer (or cuter) way of bundling up your little one than by getting your hands on a Bearington Baby Animal Coat. First of all, any coat with ears on the hood ranks high in our book—we just wish we could pull off this look. This coat was featured in our first-ever Stuff We Like feature in the December. It comes in leopard, giraffe, sheep, and bunny prints (among others) and they're pretty much the most adorable things ever. Plus, at $50 (for the 6-12 month old) and $55 (for 12-24 months), your baby can be stylin' without a lot of dough.

Speaking of dough—who wants some? By entering our second contest for our Stuff We Like Blog, you can win a $25 gift certificate to Ellie Jaye's, where you can get your kiddo a cuddly animal coat of their own. All you have to do is email us at stuffwelike@bakersfieldmagazine.net by Wednesday, December 23 with your name, contact number, and address. The winner will be randomly selected from all the entrants and their name will be posted on Friday, December 25 at 12 noon on this blog.

Gone are the days of simple blue jeans. We're looking for jeans that have everything, right? They're relaxed, yet fitted; they're brand new, but look worn. Jeans are an art form.

That's why we selected L.A. Idol jeans to be featured in our first-ever Stuff We Like Feature for the December issue. The jeans are the perfect combination: affordable and fashionable. After all, we want our jeans to serve multiple purposes. We want jeans to make us look good but that give others the impression we don't care about our looks—a very important distinction in today's fashion world. These are just the jeans to do that. They're stitched and embossed, but not bedazzled; they're trendy, but timeless; they're dressy, but casual. Most importantly, they're $44.99, but look high-priced. Again, the multipurpose jean...is there anything sweeter?

Actually, there is. Sweetness is winning a $25 gift certificate to the exact store that carries these jeans: Fashion & Fame on Stockdale Highway. You could put the $25 toward a pair of your own, or to getting a great gift for someone on your list...you! All you have to do is email us at stuffwelike@bakersfieldmagazine.net by Wednesday, December 16 with your name, contact number, and address. The winner will be randomly selected from all the entrants and their name will be posted on Friday, December 18 at 12 noon on this blog. It's the only place you can check to see if you've won, so don't pester us with calls or emails.

Now for the nitty-gritty: You must be 18 years of age or older with a valid California driver's license to enter. One winner per household, per issue (every 8 weeks). No purchase necessary. Family members of Bakersfield Magazine employees are ineligible. Winner must contact the magazine within five (5) days of name being posted or prize will be put back in the vault (just like a Disney movie).
