1. One of my favorite places to enter is over at Goodreads. Here, not only can you enter to win books, but you connect with community and see what your friends are reading and enjoy. The only downside I've seen is that contests are one per household, so my wife and I don't have separate accounts. This week I'm entering to win a bunch, but my favorite contests have one of the following: Few entries competing, Lots of copies available, an interesting subject, or a just plain awesome title/cover.
Of course, simply putting up a few books from Goodreads doesn't count as a full post, so here are a few other things I've been doing lately:
2. I'm entering to win a trip, with both Instant Win and a sweepstakes at the end. The Harry and David promo has some pretty awesome prizes, so go check it out.
3. Todd and Erin, local show hosts, also have a blog with prizes, giveaways, coupons, etc. For the most part they link to other places, and their emails often have fantastic information. They also do a monthly gift card giveaway. They have a lot of followers, but someone has to win, right?
4. If you're willing to travel just before Valentines Day, there is a free trip to New York for Fashion Week. Sponsored by Payless, this is a single entry sweep, which I personally really like.
5. Speaking of Travel, this next one is absolutely astonishing. The Select Registry: Distinguished Inns of North America is giving away a $500 gift certificate, which is available for use at any of 400+ properties across the country. While no airfare is paid, the gift certificate by itself is just plain awesome, as many of these locations are Bed and Breakfasts, or small, privately run locations big on charm and elegance.
6. Leite's Culinaria has a couple of books up for free giveaways, one for delicious Indian spices and the other for The Butcher and the Vegetarian. They both sound amazing, and they both end right away, so get cracking and enter NOW!
7. One for the kidlets, As They Grow Up is offering Pocoyo Bath Toys. This is a blog giveaway, which means that entry can be a bit more of a hassle, but if you win, its always worth it.Watch for their ways to get extra entries and boost your chance of winning!
Speaking of boosting your chances of winning, expect to see me picking up Twitter for this blog pretty soon. I've never used it before, but if there is something I really want to win, the extra entries from tweeting the contest would be worth it. Maybe.
