yep. another giveaway.
because it's love month.
and i love love month.
it has come to my attention that the term cinnamon bear isn't necessarily readily identifiable. to some, a cinnamon bear only resides in the imagination. such a shame. believe me, those bears are oh so chewy cinnamoney sweet and, as it turns out, hard to come by. so when i found them on sale at my local grocery store, i came home with ten packages. after seeing dan's quizzical brow i gave the speech i had prepared, i am on a mission to spread cinnamon bear goodness worldwide. plus they were on mega sale. practically every gal i know loves these li'l bears. i would sell them by the pound if i could manage the wholesale property rights and the temptation of having bears bombard my workspace. but instead i plan to mail each package to a blog pal. so i give you a cinnamon bear giveaway in honor of valentine's day.
comment here and please tell me your favorite chick flick romance movie. i'll pick one random comment on valentine's day and ship the bears straight to the winner. the first package went to my new friend, summer who loves to list, write and create. she emails me with good questions, delisch recipes and nice words.
oh so beary sweet.
I love While You Were Sleeping. Old, but classic!
ReplyDeletewas just looking for "chances are" at the library yesterday- onld chick flick with Robert Downey Jr and Cybil Shep! love it!
ReplyDeleteLove Actually
ReplyDeletePS Cinnamon bears don't even exist in Chicago, and you don't know how many times I've brought that up in conversation just this week!
Cinnamon bears? I've never heard tell! And I love all things cinnamon. We have a candy here in the Maritimes at Christmas called chicken bones; it's a hard cinnamon outer shell with melty chocolate innards, and it is my all-time favourite candy. So I think that cinnamon bears might be lovely, too! Movie? Definitely Love Actually. :)
ReplyDeleteat the moment i am loving 50 first dates. thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteA Walk To Remember is my chick flick romance pick - always makes me cry, always!
ReplyDeletep.s. LOVE cinnamon bears and look for them at the store every time I go.
My FAVORITE candy EVER!!!!!! Serious googly eye love for the bears.
ReplyDeleteI am not good with romance movies but I do like Sweet Home Alabama and Wedding Crashers. Do those count???
Gaping plot holes and I don't even like Keanu Reeves that much, but lately I want to watch The Lake House every day. When I think about him waiting for her for so long....well, my heart just melts.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely Love Actually - LOVE that movie!
ReplyDeleteWhen Harry Met Sally! For sure!
ReplyDeleteAnd I heart cinnamon bears. Yum.
I actually really love 13 going on 30. the boy in it is adroeable. :)
ReplyDeleteIt's not a traditional chic flick, but I LOVE "The Scarlet Pimpernel" with Jane Seymour. SO classic!
ReplyDeletemm cinnamon goodness..how nice of you to spread such yummy-ness to blog world.
ReplyDeleteNo chick flick is better than Girls Just Wanna Have Fun. big hairdos+spandex=good time by all.
My favorite, EVER, is Moulin Rouge. Oh my!
ReplyDeleteSex in the City is my new favorite chick flick along with He's Just Not That Into You. Classic chick flicks inclued Legally Blond and Maid To Honor. Happy {heart} Day !
ReplyDeletehands down... sleepless in seattle. oh wait, i really love anything jane austin too... the new pride and prejudice and sense and sensibility.
ReplyDeleteI generally try to cut down the candy consumption, but my own personal rule is that if I ever see cinammon bears on sale, I'll buy 'em.
ReplyDeleteI recently saw The Wedding Date and I thought it was sweet. Dermot Mulroney was so yummy in that movie!
Cinnamon Bears! Those are the Cadbury Mini Eggs of Valentines Day!
ReplyDeleteIt's a toss up between When Harry Met Sally and Sleepless In Seattle. I'll never get tired of watching either one.
cinnamon bears are my favorite sweet thing, so here's hopin'!
ReplyDeletefavorite chick flicks: moulin rouge, french kiss, kate & leopold, pride & prejudice, sabrina and a good year. whew - time for some romance! happy love month to you!
I love cinnamon bears! I just read about chocolate covered cinnamon bears, which I have never tried, but they've got to be good. My favorite is Pride and Prejudice - pbs version, but I love both.
ReplyDeletePride and Prejudice, for sure.
ReplyDeleteCinnamon bears have a very special place in my heart. Return to Me and the A & E version of Pride and Prejudice are my favorite romance movies. My husband actually likes Return to Me. It has great music.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite movie would have to be Steel Magnolia's I love that movie and I cry every time I watch it...lol...thanks for the giveaway
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, I LOVE cinnamon bears! I buy them in a local grocery store's bulk candy section...and in fact, I bought them every week the last month of my pregnancy. :) (And BYU's bookstore had the best chocolate covered cinnamon bears...I've missed those since leaving Utah.)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite chick flick is probably While You Were Sleeping...so many funny quotes. :)
Love love your blog. My favorite chick flick is You've Got Mail. "A hot dog is singing! You need quiet while a hot dog is singing?!"
ReplyDeleteYou've Got Mail.
ReplyDeleteYou've already heard my sad story concerning the bears.
i can't believe you found those! i haven't seen cinnamon bears in years! i'm now on a mission to find them in northern california! i'm not a HUGE rom-com fan... does breakfast at tiffany's count?
ReplyDeleteI must say "P.S. I Love You" is my favorite chick-flicky romance movie!
ReplyDeleteI watched it a few weeks after I married my husband (he was out at a boys' night baseball game) and I sobbed the entire time.
The worst part is, he thought I was crazy when he walked in and saw my puffy sobbing face!
Loved it and hated it all in one package--It reminded me to appreciate Dustin always (even through the law school years), because you never know what might happen.
I've never seen cinnamon bears, but they look delicious!
ReplyDeleteI love How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days. And it's the only chick flick that I have watched with a boyfriend and had him say to me "that actually wasn't that bad" at the end.
does holiday inn count as a romantic, chick flick? i think it is just the greatest movie...ever! ♥
ReplyDeleteLove Actually is at the top of my list! I could (and do) watch it over and over again.
ReplyDeleteI love cinnamon bears! Sometimes I even dip them in white chocolate.
you and summer are bloggy twins.
ReplyDeletemoulin rouge.
i've never had - or heard - of cinnamon bears. ever. but they sound (and look!) delicious.
ReplyDeletemy favourite chick flick is most definitely sliding doors...not just because it's got the whole scottish accent romance thing going on (AND with gwyneth!) but because she's got such spectacular character development throughout the movie... not to mention that the ending isn't just based on a happily-ever-after type thing.. it's an ending that gives you hope.
i heart hope.
I don't know of these cinnamon bears you talk of! They sound tasty! My fave has to be the Sex ans The City movie. Romance plus fashion plus nyc.
ReplyDeleteI was just thinking that I need to dig out my copy of An Affair To Remember and watch it for this lovely holiday. And for a good, hilarious love story- The Princess Bride.
ReplyDeletePride and Prejudice for sure.
ReplyDeletei LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE cinnamon bears!!!!! and you are right. they are SO hard to find!
ReplyDeletemy favorite chic flick is because i said so! LOVE it.
xx
jill
what a great you are for sending summer her little valentine package! my favorite chick flick- never been kissed. my nerdyness relates.
ReplyDeletewhat a cute idea a valentine giveaway of cinnamoney goodness. favorite movie 16 candles, sister of the traveling pants.....
ReplyDeleteand happy valentines day to you and your new little love on his first valentines day.
wow, there is only one mention of sliding doors, which is surprising. i must say, i don't personally consider movies where they call each other profanities or mistreat each other "good movies" and i certainly don't want that type of behavior attributed to things my gender likes. So i love the good ones, guys who are awesome and totally love the girl, like Say Anything.
ReplyDeletep.s. my husband loves cinnamon bears.
I knew there were so many reasons we'd make good friends!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE these things- especially when they're covered in chocolate. I can't find them anywhere out here in FL- I've searched high and low!!!
My fav chick flick- that's a hard one but I'm a big fan of how to loose a guy in 10 days.
what's yours?!
The English Patient made me cry all the way home from the theater. My boyfriend couldn't believe it:he fell asleep!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to taste those bears!
Cathy
hi marta! i happen to absolutely l-o-v-e "when harry met sally" - my husband and i have watched it every v-day for 16 years now. 'you've got mail" is great - as is "sleepless in seattle". oh - also love 'french kiss'. we must have a meg ryan thing huh? thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteGhost - the pottery scene, of course. Makes my heart melt every time. In fact, it might make those cinnamon bears melt too.
ReplyDeleteCinnamon Bears are new to me, but they sound delicious! I adore When Harry Met Sally; it's such a classic. But I also love The Sweetest Thing, because the friendship between Cameron Diaz and Christina Applegate is so fabulous. Happy Valentine's Day, Marta!
ReplyDeleteOh how I LOVE those little cinnamon bears. YUM!!
ReplyDeleteFavorite chick flick? Gotta be Pretty Woman!
those are my dh's favorite! he would love me forever if I won these for him :)
ReplyDeleteI frequently live outside the US - but each time I come home for a visit I pick up a bag of cinnamon bears - my favorite treat.
ReplyDeleteFav chick flick: Love Actually
Oh, goodness, definitely You've Got Mail. I love the whole I-hate-you-oh-wait-I-love-you thing the movie has going on. Plus, Meg Ryan + Tom Hanks = simply adorable. And, unlike Sleepless in Seattle (which is also adorable), they actually get to see each other for more than 10 seconds at a time. Good news!
ReplyDeleteI like Ever After and Clueless.
ReplyDeleteI have never had a cinnamon bear but I'm intrigued.
I love PS I love you as a chick flick...well, mostly as a chick flick when I'm spending the night by myself because it's sad, I can have a good healthy cry (because I really feel like it truly is 'healthy' to have a good cry once in a while), and appreciate my loved one when he finally returns.
ReplyDeletePride and Prejudice...the new one with keira knightly.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe people haven't heard of cinnamon bears. they were a childhood (and much of adulthood) staple.
ReplyDeleteI really like Love Actually, but I saw that mentioned several times as I zipped through the comments. And then I realized that Pride and Prejudice ranks just as high for me if not higher. I like the 6 hour long one, but especially the newer movie - just because I can get the same swooney feelings from the story in a much shorter time.
First--let me congratulate you on your impeccable taste in treats--cinnamon bears are so choice. My favorite chic flicks are When Harry Met Sally--every time it comes on I have to watch the whole thing--and the Notebook.
ReplyDeleteyou're adorable! i think my favorite chick flick has to be the classic, "my best friend's wedding".
ReplyDeletenot a good time to see this post. i just taught spin and am in desperate need of sugar. now nothing will suffice unless it is a cinnamon bear. urghh!
ReplyDeletepride and prejudice with keira knightly is the fave.
Hmmm...I love when Harry Met Sally. And Bride and Prejudice. Oh, PS, I love you. And Dear Frankie.
ReplyDeleteSome Kind of Wonderful. Best ever. Even better is watching this movie with a bag of cinnamon bears.
ReplyDeletewow, a lot of good chick flicks out there...
ReplyDeleteI like Little Women, Princess Bride, and When Harry Met Sally.
And I LOVE cinnamon bears.
chewy, cinnamony bears oh my!
ReplyDeleteone of my fave chick flicks, this will date me a bit, is "Crossing Delancey" -- love the pickle man!
Karmen
Ooh yum! I would say that mine is.. Love Actually. I also like Dirty Dancing and Dirty Dancing Havana Nights (are those chick flicks?).
ReplyDeleteI really like "Say Anything"... a great 80's classic!
ReplyDeletenot sure if I would call it a chick flick but it is surely for gals: cinema paradiso!
ReplyDeletePride and prejudice is right at the top of my list. Mr. Darcy is so dreamy...
ReplyDeleteMy favorite movies are The Power of One, Pelican Brief and anything with Mary-Kate & Ashley.
ReplyDeleteDoes that sway your vote? You KNOW I can't get that delicious dental decay 'round here, Min!!
My latest favorite is "Dan in Real Life".
ReplyDeleteThat is a tough question because in general I enjoy most chick-clicks. I saw Moulin Rouge on the list and that is up there on my list too but I think I will say Amelie.
ReplyDeleteMarta
ReplyDeleteI confess. I have watched it too many times to count. what can I say? I'm a sucker for romance! It has got to be Pride & Prejudice!
Have a Happy Valentines Day with your boys!
K
a lot like love. :)
ReplyDeleteit's gotta be the notebook! love it!
ReplyDeleteThe Holiday.
ReplyDeleteIts one I could watch over and over again. Plus its a two for one story :)
I LOVE Cinnamon Bears---used to eat them by the bucket load but now I can't find them anywhere cause I live in London!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite chick flick--Pride and Prejudice w/Colin Firth---all glorious 8 hours of it.
I love You've Got Mail. Classic Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan at their best.
ReplyDeleteI also looooove cinnamon bears!!
this probably doesn't even count as a chick flick.. but Cruel Intentions.. I memorized every line in the movie in high school (i know.. LOSER), and I'm stil upset that reese and ryan got a divorce!
ReplyDeleteI really loved August Rush. Happy LOVE month! -mee
ReplyDeleteCinnamon bears are not readily available to me here on the East Coast & I would love to snack on some this Valentines Day! My favorite romantic movie of all time is You've Got Mail. I've seen it at least 50 times.
ReplyDeleteLove Actually... when laura linney is jumping around, around the corner from that guy.. thats exactly how I felt after my first date with my boyfriend :-) very sweet movie.. have never seen cinnamon bears in maine
ReplyDeleteSomehow I have never even *heard* of cinnamon bears, but they sound quite wonderful. Are they as spicy as red hot hearts?
ReplyDeleteMy favorite today is "You've Got Mail". :o)
does amelie count as a chick flick romance movie? i love it.
ReplyDeletei love cinnamon bears too - and i agree that they're impossible to find in chicago!
This comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeletePride & Prejudice with Room With a View as a close runner up. I gave you mad props on my blog the other day for your adorable handwriting skills. ;)
ReplyDeleteHappy Valentines!
holy cow! they make Cinnamon bears!!!????!
ReplyDeleteI love Under the Tuscan Sun because it reminds you to be you and get yourself together before you prince comes long! Love yourself!
My fave? "You've Got Mail!" of course.
ReplyDeleteIf you are interested, I have an old radio show from, oh, the 40's all about a Cinnamon Bear and his Christmas escapades...it is charming and lovely and my husband I listen to the little installments all December long. I would be happy to send you a DVD of the story...to go with your yummy little gummies.
My favorite chick flick is "The Holiday".
ReplyDeleteI have been on the lookout for cinnamon candy lately and it's not an easy thing here in OC. I LOVE cinnamon candy. My Fav chick flick without question is the Notebook. So romantic.
ReplyDeleteLove Actually... so fun and can watch it over and over and still smile.
ReplyDeleteThanks,
Maureen (jnomaxx at hotmail dot com)
Chocolat, hands down. Johnny Depp AND chocolate in a movie? Does life even get any better than that?
ReplyDeleteUnder the Tuscan Sun. I could watch this daily.
ReplyDeleteNow that you mention it, I haven't had a cinnamon bear since my childhood. Oh my, the memories they conjure.
Stranger Than Fiction.
ReplyDeleteI love that he brings her a box of "flours" because she is a baker, instead of flowers.
If you haven't watched it, you should rent it. you'll be happy you did.
I miss cinnamon gummy bears, I haven't had them in so long! They're oh so delicious!
mmmmm. Phenomenon is mine.
ReplyDeleteonce.
ReplyDeleteit's a newy, but a goody
I've never even seen cinnamon bears before. How cute, and what a great color. Wish I had Cinnamon Bear-Colored Lipstick.
ReplyDeleteFavorite chick flick: "The Cutting Edge" (1992), no question about it. I've seen it a million times. Whatever happened to DB Sweeney? So cute.
My favorite chick flick/romantic movie has to be Dirty Dancing!
ReplyDeleteAlso I have not had cinnamon bears in literally AGES and i had forgotten all about them until I saw your post! An elderly neighbor of mine as a child, appropriately named Mr. Goodman, would often repay me and my sisters in candy for helping him carry his bags into the house with selections from his candy dish. And it was the best candy dish- it included Brach's jelly nougats and cinnamon bears. Wow, what a flashback just thinking about cinnamon bears has caused!
Cinnamon bears are impossible to come by here. The french have a dramatic aversion to cinnamon. For the chick flick I would go with Love Actually. I love that the story takes place during Noel but it's so sweet you can watch it year round.
ReplyDeleteI love "You've Got Mail" ...it is a wonderful story... It reminds me that when God closes one door, he opens another, BETTER door!
ReplyDeleteHey Mart! You know how I love those bears!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite Chick Flick.... Little Women... or Beaches.. haha. I know that is yours. :)
1. I can't believe there are people who have never heard of cinnamon bears! Tragic!
ReplyDelete2. you must try them dipped in chocolate. wonderful.
3.favorite chick flick? Little Women, You've Got Mail, Pride & Prejudice, High Society
My all time favorite romance movie is Pride and Prejudice with Colin Firth. I love, love, love it!!!
ReplyDeleteSo many chick flicks...
ReplyDeletemy best friends wedding, you've got mail, 10 days to loose a guy, sweet home alabama, runaway bride, but I have to say the best movie ever which is a love/comedy Wedding Crashers....SO GOOD. I LOVE LOVE LOVE cin bears they are the best!
Cinnamon bears are so hard to come by here in chicago. Most people don't understand my need to constantly check gas stations/convenience stores to try to find these treasures.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite go to chickflicks are , "you've got mail" & pretty in pink.
Pride & Prejudice. Any version!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Marta! Happy Love Month to YOU!
Pride & Prejudice, Mamma Mia, No Reservations... I could go on and on!
ReplyDeleteI remember you writing about cinnamon bears before - they sound delicious! They don't exist in the Netherlands :(

Evelyn

Return To Me
Cinnamon Bears.
:)
i forgot about these but my mouth is watering now. I must go on a hunt tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteLove the movie ideas!
ReplyDeletePerhaps it would ruin the allure of the bears but it appears that the manufacturer, Sweet Candy Co., sells them online at www.sweetcandy.com.
oh so many of them! im a chick flick connoisseur :)
ReplyDeletewedding singer is a recent favorite i saw again
say anything is a top 10
It's late to be trying to win some cinnamon bears, but I found your blog when I got desperate enough to do an online search for the hard to come by bears. I took it for granted that the grocery stores ALWAYS had them! I never thought for a second they'd be hard to find. But here I am calling every store in the area trying to track some down! You really nailed it on the head with this one, and you're not crazy to buy 10 bags!
ReplyDelete
