HIF Contest Freebies

Holy crap. Rafflecopter is awesome. It makes running contests significantly easier on my end. Expect more in the coming weeks.

But you probably don’t care about all that. “Goob, tell us who won,” you demand. “Was it me,” you shriek while leaping into the air and scaring your dog. Or not. It’s just a $25 gift card. You’re probably sitting there annoyed that I’m dragging this out. I should stop typing. Or keep typing, but stop typing this paragraph and instead type the winning names. I don’t know, it seems like I’m rushing it. We never get to talk. How was your day? Mine’s been great, thanks for asking. What are you up to tonight? I’m catching an improv show then going out for drinks. Should be fun! What were we talking about again?

Now you know the kind of crap my friends have to put up with

The two winners were:

Vivian – v…9@gmail.com
Randi – rain…@gmail.com

I’ve emailed them both and will send the cards out tonight. Thanks to everybody who entered!!

I’m safe and sound back home, meaning it’s time to pick a winner from yesterday’s free $20 Amazon gift card giveaway.

The winner?

Rebecca Mc! If she doesn’t get back to me within 24 hours, I’ll pick a new winner.

I read each and every comment (at least I think I did). Thanks for all the smiles and jokes! And yes, for future reference, I stripped out all the duplicate comments. There were only 1334 entries once I cleaned things up.

Remember that awesome free Bounce House we gave away over the past two weeks? Sure you do, as I’m positive all of you entered, right?! Well, anyway, we have a winner!

So….. *drumroll*

Sharon C. (with a Yahoo email address) was our grand winner!

Thanks again to everybody who entered too! We’ve got a few more giveaways planned for March, so stay tuned.

Hiffers! I am super excited to bring you this contest and announce that I’ve teamed up with BounceHousesNow to bring your a free Bounce House Giveaway with an ARV of $700!

Look at this thing. It’s magnificent. Where were these when I was a kid?! You know what I had to play with as a kid? A treehouse that I built with my best friend. It consisted of scrap plywood we found at a construction site, rusty nail from my dad’s garage, and a healthy dose of tetanus.

Don’t let your kids end up like me. So what are the details of this giveaway? Well, the full prize list is as follows:

• Grand Prize: Win a free Misty Kingdom Bounce House and Ball Pit!
• First Runner Up: Win a 75% discount off any residential bounce house.
• Second Runner Up: Win a 50% discount off any residential bounce house.
• Third Runner Up: Win a 25% discount off any residential bounce house.
• Bonus Offer: Everybody who enters wins a $50 coupon off any purchase over $400.

How do you enter? It’s easy! Just fill out the Rafflecopter entry below and complete as many of the entry options as you like! Obviously the more you do, the greater your chances, but it’s entirely up to you. Like a few, like them all, send some tweets, leave a comment, whatever: it’s entirely up to you!

So pretend for a minute you win. Who are the lucky kids or man-child that will get to play on this?! *please say me, please say me, please say me*
