Giveaway | March giveaway: Twitter necklaces

Tuesday, March 1st, 2011

Update: Please see below for new restrictions to entering this giveaway.
Update 3/28: This giveaway is now closed. Thanks for all your entries!

Congrats to our February giveaway winner, Aimee M. who has won a threesie Daisy Chain necklace! (We randomly drew from all the blog comments from our February giveaway blog post and came up with the number 12 which corresponded to Aimee’s comment).

As Aimee says:

Love the daisy chain! I think I’d have to keep it for myself. I’d love a necklace representing my little family – September, April, and May.

For our March giveaway, we’re mixing things up a little bit. We’re doing our first ever, Twitter giveaway!

Appropriately enough, we’ll be giving away our personalized Twitter handle necklaces — the winner will choose either the @ necklace or the birdie necklace. And there will be a winner every Monday in the month of March!

Here’s how to enter:

1) Follow: @blendcreations on Twitter.

2) Tweet the following in its entirety:

I’d like to win a @blendcreations #twitternecklace http://bit.ly/hGzgGA. Tweet for your chance to win. Details: http://bit.ly/f6lUls

UPDATE: New limitation to the giveaway, effective Sunday, Marcy 13 9:50 EDT — You cannot tweet more than ONCE PER HOUR, otherwise you will be disqualified from this giveaway.


The fine print:

The giveaway is open to all residents of Canada and the US. You can tweet as often as you’d like — so long as it is no more than once per hour. We will be drawing one winner every Monday at noon Eastern Time in March from all the tweets received from the previous week.

Winners will be contacted by direct message (DM) through Twitter, so you must follow @blendcreations for us to be able to contact you. We’ll announce the name of the winner each week by Tuesday after he/she has confirmed.

Good luck!

(P.S. If you can’t wait to see if you’re a winner, you can use the promo code “TweetTweet” until 3/31 to get 15% off your order! Or if you’ve won after you’ve already purchased a Twitter handle necklace, we’ll refund your purchase :)

Giveaway | Winner for September’s giveaway

Friday, October 1st, 2010

September was a big month for us, since it was the month that we started Blend Creations and this year we celebrated 5 years in business.  Over on Facebook, we reached 800 fans yesterday, and to celebrate that, we just gave away five $50 gift vouchers for Blend Creations.

But enough about that, with our monthly giveaway, up for grabs was one of our latest designs, an ‘Oog’ Charmer necklace.

There was an overwhelming response with 113 blog comments, 71 Facebook wall posts and 32 Tweets, for a total of 216 entries!

With a little help from the Random.org number generator, 53 corresponded with Robin Barton’s Facebook wall post that wished us a Happy 5th birthday. Congratulations Robin!

If you didn’t win this month, just wait, since we’ll be announcing the October giveaway early next week :)
