This Halloween is full of treats!
The treats began last night in our house when Ryan and I exchanged our anniversary gifts. I totally dropped the ball and didn’t end up finding anything leather, so I veered from the traditional anniversary gift themes and gave him clothes and a little box of goodies.
I attached little cards to various food and beverage items that I know Ryan likes and used the name of the item in a sentence about why I love being married to him!
For example, attached to a bag of Combos pretzels, I wrote a card that said I love you because “you’re the perfect COMBO-nation of playful, loving, supportive and fun!” On a bag of Smartfood popcorn I wrote, “You’re SMART and challenge me… in a good way!” It was a fun project and I hope it conveyed to Ryan just how much he means to me.
We don’t normally go all-out for anniversary gifts, so I was shocked when I opened Ryan’s gift to me and found a beautiful new leather purse that can be both a cross-body purse or a clutch.
He went above and beyond and saved for it and I absolutely love what he picked out! I was shocked and so impressed and told him that I will wear it all day and all night! He definitely put my gift to shame. Thank you, Ryan!!
Treats continued at work today. Even though I work at a gym, we’re not above celebrating with a little candy!
My coworkers made fun of me because I grabbed a box of DOTS. Do people not like DOTS? I am so out of the loop. It’s not like I was loving on Bit O’ Honeys or something! Give me a little credit!
Once I was done working and teaching, I headed home for a late lunch which came together in no time at all thanks to leftovers.
I reheated last night’s crock pot dish of pulled chicken, potatoes, carrots and onion and ate it with an apple and a Reese’s peanut butter cup.
It was delicious!
And now it’s time to share a little Halloween treat with you!
YourReebok Giveaway
I have a feeling quite a few of you will be pumped for this giveaway!
This month, through my on-going partnership with Reebok, I was able to experience the company’s YourReebok page which allows people to customize shoes using various colors and personalization touches.
Since the Reebok Nano Speed has quickly become by all-time favorite Reebok shoe, I knew they were the pair of shoes I wanted to use as my design guinea pig!
I spent a little too long on the website and think I designed four different shoes before I finally settled on a certain look.
And yes, you can personalize the back of the shoes! I ended up opting out of that feature because I couldn’t think of anything more creative than my name to put on the back of my shoe, but I’m sure people come up with some awesome nicknames or funny taglines!
I played around with super bright colors, muted colors, lots of white and lots of color but in the end I put together a shoe with lots of purple and gray and a touch of light blue.
They should be arriving sometime next week and I am pumped to put them to good use!
And now it’s your turn to customize a pair of Reebok shoes!!! One PBF reader will win a gift card to customize the Reebok shoes of their choice.
To enter this giveaway, simply comment below, answering one (or all) of the following questions:
- Which pair of Reebok shoes would you customize?
- What colors do you think you would incorporate into your design?
- If you personalize your shoes, what would you want them to say?
I will randomly select a winner on Monday morning.
Good luck!!!
Katie Mac says
I like the reflex scream I think it’s called. And I love navy and neon together. I think I would have the back say “run hard”
Erin says
I would incorporate a lot of bright colors!
Heather @ Run Eat Play says
What a great anniversary present from Ryan – I love it!
I love the purple and teal combo of running shoes lately! I would personalize mine with my name 🙂
Sarah T says
teal, teal & more teal!
Liz says
Nanos! Teal and purple – maybe some white or silver too. I’d put my initials or my mantra on them.

I really like the look of the Nano Speeds! I love yellow and black together so I would incorporate those colors 🙂

Julie says
I would love love LOVE a pair of purple and grey shoes…my favorite combination EVER!
Jennifer says
I would make aqua/gray shoes to wear to cross fit!!
hannah says
I would select mano speed and customize pinks and bright orange. I would also put my nickname “ice” on the back. In cross country my couch always yelled ice berg when I came around the corner in a race sine my last name is berg.
J. Slaughter says
I would probably just put my name like you did! lol. My last name is pretty badass so I wouldn’t mind having those on my gym shoes. 😉
Cat O'Brien says
Crossfit Nano 3.0. With turquoise, purple, and yellow. 🙂
Laura says
I would design a pair of Nanos in gray and blue!
Emma says
Nano 3.0! I would make aqua/gray shoes for crossfit!
Alexa @ travelmiamor says
I love the color purple so I would design it using that color for sure!!!
Chelsea says
I think Reebok is making some of the best shoes right now- I wear them daily to run my puppy and they’re holding up pretty well. An upgrade would be nice though! I would love to do the Realflex Scream in black, lime green and purple, but the teal looks pretty sweet too…
Jessica says
Love these! I would use a combo of greens and blues… So cool!
Paige Montgomery says
I would love a pair of nanos with pink on them!
MelissaC says
Oh, it would so be a pair of Nanos! and it would be some kind of combo of coral/gray (sort of like the colors you used)…OR maybe a purple and gray? Hmmmm…..that would be fun! Personalization: “Stronger Than I Thought” or :”Blessed”
Jenn says
I would love the nanos!
Vanessa says
I love the Reebok CrossFit Nano 2.0 Shoes. I would use a little gray, a lot of bright pink and a touch of teal to jazz them up. On the back I would have one shoe say DREAM and the other BIG.
Jaclyn says
I know that they would for sure be neon of some color. I LOVE bright sneaks. I would also probably just put my name since I don’t have a clever nickname.
Paola F says
First off, that clutch is gorgeous! It’ll go with every single outfit you can imagine.
For the Reeboks I would definitely try to come up with a super fun combination like yellow and pink or blue and orange. Something I wouldn’t normally go for, to get me out of the silver/blue running shoe!
Hannah says
I would incorporate some blue into my shoe! Unfortunately I also don’t think I can think of anything witty to put on the back though…
Laura @ Sneakers and Spatulas says
I would love to design the Nano’s in a purple theme for ECU!
Jessica says
I would kill for a pair of Crossfit Nano Speeds! I would choose only the most obnoxious bright colors possible 😉 I would definitely have to include my running mantra.. left shoe: turtle, right shoe: time – all together now: TURTLE TIME
Sarah D. says
I think I would have to go with purple and green for my color scheme. Great giveaway!
Meghan M says
I would totally get the Nano’s in either purple or yellow. My personalization would have to say I’m New! because I am just starting out and feel like I may need an explaination of why I look like a spaz 🙂
Marisa says
I would customize a pair of Nanos. I’d make them suuuuuuuper obnoxious and bright and I’d probably put some kind of snark on them.
Layne says
I’d love the realflexscream shoes!
Layne says
I’d use bright colors like neon yellow, purple and pinks!
Layne says
I’m a runner so I’d personalize them by saying Keep Up or something cute like that!
Keri says
I would customize a pair nano speeds! I would defeinitely use that coral color on mine!
Kristen says
I have heard so much about the nano’s, so I would choose to customize those. I would probably choose purple and some shade of blue, but I can see myself changing my mind many times because of all the choices.
Mallory says
I would get a pair of red nano speeds and customize them with Train Hard!
Faith says
I’m totally due for a new pair of running shoes – my old ones smell terrible! I’d customize the ZigLite run, and I’d use the Neon Vitamin C color. So bright and cheery!
jenn welch says
I own a pair of custom reebok nano’s and I love them! They are blue/black with my initials. I would probably go a little wild if I got the chance to customize a new pair and maybe do pink/purple and definitely add my name! Thanks!
Jackie P says
I would like to try the Nano Speeds. I’ve tried other nanos and loved them! I would go with a hot pink color combo (bright colors get me motivated) 🙂
Tara says
I would make my shoes purple and bright yellow!!!
Taylor says
I would customize the nanos and I am sure mine would be some combination of very BRIGHT colors…the flashier the better
Alyssa says
I’ve been dying to try the nano’s! I’ve heard such good things!
Angela says
I would love to try a pair of Nano speeds out since you love them so much. I love color so maybe a green and purple shoe or a red and yellow one would be fun. I’d probably use my initials to personalize the shoe.
karli says
neon colors!!
Angela says
A lot of neons!
Carli says
love the bag!
I would LOVE to customize some new sneakers! mine are very worn out
I would choose the nano speed and I really like that first color combo of coral and teal – I like the idea of writing “run faster” on the back
Melissa says
Such a cute idea you and Ryan did for your anniversary! Also, I love Dots, I used to eat all the red and yellow ones when I was a child!
Jennifer D says
Some Aqua, white, and gray Nanos….or maybe hot pink. 🙂
Kerry Lamond says
I would design a pair for my fiance. He has been very into working out over the last six months or so to get ready for our wedding. Not sure which shoes, but I would use black and either blue or red, and I’d probably incorporate the phrase “Beast Mode” into the customization! 🙂 Also, I love Dots!
