Anybody Interested in a Giveaway?

April 23, 2008 · 372 comments

     The time has come in my itty-bitty blogdom for a giveaway.  So I was trying to think of something unique to put up for grabs.  Oh, and I had lots of ideas.  Somehow though I couldn’t see anybody getting really excited over the pair of swim trunks once owned by K-Fed I saw up for auction on ebay.  Yeah.  I don’t blame ya.  Maybe unique wasn’t my best route.  So I thought about things that I have that I love.  Because I’m willing to bet you’d love a panini press as much as I love mine.  Ah, but then there is the cost of shipping.  Let me tell ya, those things are a tad on the heavy side.  Perhaps a practical item would make for a great prize.  A book?  A candle?  Kitchen towels?  Nah.  Too ordinary. 

     And then it hit me.

     If you’re reading my blog – chances are pretty good that you are one of two things.

       1. A mom

       2. Related to me.

     And since chances are good that you fit nicely into one of these categories I can say with nearly 100% assurance that a Target gift card is just the thing for you.  How do I know?  Well, if you are in the first category then you likely stop by Target on a weekly basis and picture how lovely the new Spring line of tableware would look on your dining room table for the upcoming Bible study brunch you’re hosting.  Or how cute those new ballet flats would be with the summer sundress you’ll be wearing to a wedding next month.  But shoot, if all else fails, you could certainly use it to buy household necesseties.  Toilet paper.  Dish soap.  Fabric softener sheets.  Oh yeah ladies, live it up.

     If you are in only the second category and not the first, then that makes you my gramps.  And, gramps, if you enter the giveaway, and happen to win, then you can certainly send the gift card back my way.  They have some cute summer tees I’ve had my eye on for awhile.

     Prize:  $25 Target Gift Card

     To enter:  leave a comment.  I know.  I’ve really raised the bar here.  Oh, be sure to leave your email address so I can contact you if you win.  Only enter once please.  I’ll choose a winner on Saturday. 

     To enter more giveaways this week, surf over here and enter away!

There are not many things I wouldn’t buy with a $25 GC at Target. My 3 year old certainly has some ideas.

Good reasoning on the giveaway! I don’t know a mom who doesn’t like to shop at Target :) Of course, *I’d* love to do a little shopping at Target courtesy of your giveaway…

Alison April 24, 2008 at 8:12 pm

Yup, I’d probably go crazy and buy toilet paper. Maybe some ziplocs if I’m feeling really wild

Someone Being Me April 24, 2008 at 8:22 pm

I’ve enjoyed reading your blog & I’m keeping my fingers crossed that the chunk from your back is nothing to worry about. Thanks for making me laugh with your story.

Stretch Mark Mama April 24, 2008 at 11:52 pm

Audrey April 25, 2008 at 12:42 am

We love Target so much we drive 45 minutes to the closest one at least once a month.

Suzie April 25, 2008 at 12:42 am

Just read your mole story. Hope it comes back okay! So how was the spot on your nose?

Not related so I must be a mom :-)
Target has the greatest stuff! I’d love to win this giveaway!
Love your blog too and will be back often. You’re funny! And I’m all about the funny. Need more funny in my life. Don’t we all?
I remember the tween and teen years. Daughter is now almost 22. We are on the phone a couple of times a day (she’s in college in another state).

Tiffany April 25, 2008 at 5:39 am

Target is definitely my favorite store. It is sad when your 2 year old sees a target gift card in your wallet and says “go to target and get popcorn”. Oh how I would love to win this!!
