Personalized Parcels giveaway, ENDS TODAY!

Another contest ending today (6/18) at 11:59! If you'd like the chance to win a personalized parcel to a friend or relative with some neat things in it, please go on over to The Ethertons. (Trying to win this for my teenage niece!)

I am totally swiping a picture of the parcel that the Ethertons got from their blog. Hope this is okay! You can also click on the picture below to go to the contest page.

Last minute contest: Seagate external hard drive from Vanilla Joy

This a picture that my mother took last summer when we went on a trip to Las Vegas and stayed in the Mirage. If you go, stop by at the Secret Garden and Dolphin Habitat - the dolphins are cute, and this one was a big show-off. The kids at the habitat loved them!

I was reminded of the fun we had by this contest. Go on over, and you can win a Seagate FreeAgent Dockstar external hard drive. But hurry! It ends at midnight tonight, and you have to request an upload link and upload your own picture to participate.

Vanilla Joy, the blogger hosting this contest, also has a lot of great information on scrapbooking and crafts! Take a look at her pages on craft room organization and craft storage, as well as scrapbooking furniture and craft room furniture. If you're looking for a good craft organizer, you can't go wrong.

Kidorable - possible coupon

I followed Kidorable on twitter as a result of this contest on Sweeps4Bloggers (go enter! you have until 1/30!) and they were nice enough to send me a direct message with a coupon for a free umbrella with a $20 purchase!

If you're thinking of buying items from there anyway (and they have some really cute stuff - check out the raincoats, and the umbrellas, and the gloves), this could something to try.

DISCLAIMER: I have no idea if they're doing this for everyone, or if it's just random. YMMV.

Best instant win contest on the internet

Today, I'm going to share an unknown jewel. Which is to say, there is an entire post over on Slickdeals.net about this, but for some reason it is just not that well-known outside of SD. Which is both a shame and a boon. A shame, because it's a really easy contest to win! A boon because that's probably WHY it's such an easy contest to win. :-)

It's called Twist Txt Get, and it's run by Coca-Cola. It ends on 1/31/2010.

To enter this contest, I'm pretty sure you have to have a MyCokeRewards.com account. Which is free. This is normally a contest where you have to text in your Coke caps to win, but there's a FREE method of entry, which you can take advantage of twice a day. I'll describe that below.

The site say "someone could WIN every FIVE minutes!" so you have pretty good odds.

How to play:

• Go to http://www.mycoke.com/home.jsp and sign up. I think they ask you to link your Coke Rewards account.
• Click on "Twist Txt Get" in the menu on the upper-left.
• On the new page, find the red speech bubble near the bottom that says "Official Rules!" and click on that.
• Scroll down in the official rules until you find the "How to Enter" section. Underneath that, there should be a section titled "Alternate Method of Entry (AMOE)." Find the link in that paragraph that says "click here" and click it.
• You should get a form filled in with your address information, if you are logged in. Check it and make sure that it's correct and click the submit button at the bottom.
• Fill in the captcha on the next page, and click the submit button there, too.
• See if you've won!
• You can do this twice a day. Limit one account per person.
  

I have been playing once a day since early December. I won a $20 prepaid mastercard the very first time I played. Since then, I've won three more times - each time $20 prepaid cards. Only - they didn't send me $20 cards, they sent me $25 cards! Which means that I've won $100 so far.

You can also win movie tickets.

Cons:

• They occasionally have technical problems. If you win, don't redeem again if you see your code in the "not redeemed" column after redeeming once. You will end up with two cards (at least one of which will have a $0 balance) and if you're like me, BOTH will have a $0 balance and you'll have to call them up to get it fixed. Other people have gotten $0 balance cards for no reason at all.
  
  And recently there was a technical error where you were able to redeem, but when you were transferred over to the actual card site, you were told that your redemption number was invalid. Someone posted a solution to that particular problem in the SD post, though - so if you get that, sift through the post to find the solution. Worked for me.
  

• You will have to sign up all over again if you win, on two different sites - the normal redemption site, and the card redemption sites. Lotta typing, but it's worth it. And if you win again, you can just sign in and all your info will already be filled in.
  
  Be aware that they give you two options when you redeem - a refillable card, and a non-refillable card. If you pick the refillable card, you will need to give them your social security number. Which wasn't worth it for me.

Again, this ends on 1/31/2010 (unless they renew it). So hurry if you're going to enter!

Another last chance - head over to Sweeps4Bloggers for a chance to win a copy of Pride, Prejudice, and Zombies. Ends today!

And for another last-minute contest entry - my favorite cold winter soup is French Onion soup with french bread in it and swiss and parmesan cheese melted over the top. I use Progresso soup for this; it's pretty easy to make and so good. :-) Here's the contest I'm entering, which ends today. (I'll win those Progresso mugs yet!)

Quick, run - you still have time to win a "Firefly" iPod boombox. Ends today!

Food contests, mmmm...

This Katsudon recipe kit looks so tasty that I must blog about it.

It's from Destination Dinners, you have a chance to win it, if you hurry! TONIGHT IS THE LAST NIGHT TO ENTER on The Mom Buzz.

Also, whilst posting about contests and food anyway - I am determined to win a Progresso prize pack somewhere! *shakes fists* (I love those soup mugs, man.)

Here are a couple of contests running right now where you can win one:

• Linny's Vault Progresso Prize Pack Giveaway (ends tonight also!)
• Win a Progresso Prize Pack at Leslie Loves Veggies

And, to round out the food contests, you can win the cutest blender and a package of yoplait smoothie mix at the Erickson Looney Bin. (Seriously, that is one adorable little blender.)

Quick contest entry!

Quick contest entry! Your View Electronics is giving away a 42" LCD TV. To enter, they'd like people to tell them why they want the TV.

I'd love to get an LCD TV like that for my parents. They do already have a 30+ inch, but are unhappy with the quality of the TV they bought. (They bought a bargain which ended up not being so much of one.) So I'd love for them to be happy with their TV again.

(I don't watch much TV myself, so it'd go to them for sure.)
