Aloha Friday! Giveaways Galore


Ahhh, Friday!

Thank you Kailani of An Island Life for hosting this relaxing and enjoyable meme! Are you ready for the easiest and more fun blog hop ever? All you have to do to participate is ask a simple question that receives a simple answer. Then link up at An Island Life!


My Question:
Have you been entering blog giveaways like mad this Christmas season?

Wow, I sure have! I honestly spend at least 2 hours a day entering giveaways. You can probably tell by my collection of gift guide buttons on the left sidebar. It has paid off! I have quite a stash building up for Christmas (3 separate gifts is a good start anyways!) With money being so tight around here, I might as well try to enter as many as possible. It's free, so why not?

I'll be posting in the future about my experiences with different giveaways - what I have found works for me as an entrant and what turns me away. I really want that post to help other bloggers that run giveaways so they aren't turning people away.

I have been so busy that I have not entered any lately. Maybe I need to take time to do that though! :)

I have entered a few more than usual, but am too busy blogging about things here, and adding a few of my own reviews/giveaways into the mix.

Jennifer @ Mom Spotted said...

LOL, I have entered a few but I don't get much time away from posting them. Believe me, they aren't as much fun to get when you have to write them up LOL. I added you to my linky. Sorry it wasn't up when you stopped by!

Rob said...

No. We do a ton of giveaways on our blog so I rarely enter giveaways eventhough I would like to. Just not enough time in the day to do everything.

Happy Friday!

Jennifer said...

I've been entering a few more lately. One crayola one and I just entered a 1-800-Baskets one (which would make a good gift for someone)

Unknown said...

Oh yeah! It's a lot of fun and it's no loss if you don't win. And there are so many great ones out there this year!

Angela @ Nine More Months said...

You know, I entered so many last year and won some great gifts. This year I have been so busy I have barely been entering and definitely not winning. But I have been posting some giveaways and more to come! I'm glad I can at least give something to my readers.

Katie said...

Yes! And I am so super bummed because I won a pair of Karen Neuburger PJs that I planned to give to my mom for Xmas and it's been over 6 weeks and neither I nor the blogger who hosted it have received our PJs yet :(

Pamela M. Kramer - A Renaissance Woman said...

oh yea! Just won the Rock Band Bundle at 5 Minutes for Mom. How cool is that? I'm thrilled.

About Southern Belle said...

I've entered a few. Congratulations on winning some of your own.

Frugal Vicki said...

I really want to! There is nothing I love more than winning a giveaway! But I decided to do the Holiday gift guide while simultaneously starting to write for the examiner and I got in over my head. I am looking forward to your feedback!

Concord Carpenter said...

I just started looking into them. Decided on my first giveaway last week, as you know, and think it's great!

~ Italian Bella ~ said...

Nope. I very rarely enter them.

There HAVE been a lot of giveaways. I won a book last month and need to post about it.

Have a great week!
