Have Clothes, Will Travel 10-Year Blogiversary Giveaway Extravaganza!

10 years!! Holy moly, where has the time gone? It’s crazy to think Have Clothes, Will Travel has been around for an entire decade.

Every year, I like to take this time to thank each and every one of you for following and reading Have Clothes, Will Travel. This last year has been a hard one blogging-wise, with algorithm changes and the rise of AI. It’s been really interesting, to say the least, and I would be lying if I said I wasn’t thinking about throwing in the towel more than once. However, your support and engagement have reminded me why I started this journey in the first place.

The very 1st HCWT Youtube video:

I do sincerely appreciate all of you who take the time out of your days to read/watch, share, and interact with my content. It seriously means the world to me and has kept this blog going!

I also want to thank everyone for their support and interest in my small group trips. The next one will be to the Galápagos in May 2025, and I am targeting the next one to be in October 2025 to Nepal to hike to Everest Basecamp! (Stay tuned!)

Now, to say THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart for all of the support over these last 10 years, I am hosting a giveaway extravaganza for the next month. I’ll be doing a giveaway each week for the next month with some of my favorite brands and websites!

All of the giveaway widgets can be found right at the end of this post. A new one will go live every Friday, the winner will be selected at random and displayed in the widget, I will then reach out to the winner via email.


The first giveaway is my favorite hair product line, Herbishh! They are giving 1 lucky Have Clothes, Will Travel reader a $100 gift card! I started using their products this year, and my hair is in the best shape it has ever been in; plus, I’m able to keep my greys at bay right at home with their color shampoo. No more expensive trips to the salon just to get my hair dyed for greys!

You can read my full review of Herbishh here. Code HCWT gets you 10% off your order!

Update: this giveaway has ended and a winner was selected!


ModCloth Stylish Surprise Dress and Zappos Sandals
My first Zappos purchase was these sandals back in 2009.

The second giveaway is now live as of Friday, September 13th, and is a $100 gift card to Zappos. Zappos is where the vast majority of my travel shoes are from over the years! They’re one of the first websites I ever shopped online, way back in 2009! They now carry a wide variety of clothing and accessories as well.

You can read my full Zappos review for shoes here and for clothing here.

The following week will be a $100 REI gift card! REI is one of my favorite places to shop for travel and outdoor clothing, and it is also where I get my hiking backpacks and boots. Many of the brands you see featured on my site over the years can be found at REI.

See all my favorite travel clothes here and Zac’s favorite travel pants here.


Pyramids of Giza
Marriott’s Mena House in Egypt is one of my favorite travel stays!

Then, last but not least, a $300 Marriott gift card to be used at the property of your choosing! Zac and I have literally lived at Marriott hotels over the years and still stay at them every chance we get. We have a Marriott credit card and utilize points frequently for our travels now that we’re no longer full-time nomads and actually have a home with a bunch of furry critters. To say we are Marriott fans is an understatement, they are quite literally, our home away from home! (And their loyalty program is fabulous.)
