Contests


Here's how the monthly drawing works:

  1. You enter the drawing by rating a gift on the site. You may rate as many gifts as you'd like to during the month. You get 1 entry in the contest per rating you submit. I recommend signing up for the RSS feed or following @giftsshewants on Twitter so you get a reminder to rate a gift every day!

  2. At the end of the month, I will query the database for ratings submitted that month, and pick one rating record. Whoever submitted that rating wins!

  3. If you win (yay!), I will look through the gifts you rated to see which ones you liked. I will select a gift you liked that is within the price range of that month's contest (which is based on a percentage of what I earn from the affiliate links that month).

    If you did not give high ratings to any gifts within the price range of that month's contest, I will select a gift from the website that is in the price range and email you to find out if it's something you'd like.

    I will contact you using the email address you registered with to get your mailing address and buy the gift and mail it to you!

  4. Your public Display Name and the gift you won will be featured in the sidebar of the website. If you have a Twitter account, and if you give me permission to feature you there, I will congratulate you via tweet also!

Here's how the Re-Tweet contests work:

  1. I will announce these contests on Twitter and in the sidebar of the homepage.

    2. They will have a fixed duration (the end date and time will be clearly displayed on the website) and specific gifts you can choose from if you win (listed in the sidebar beneath the contest announcement)

  2. You can either reproduce the contest-announcement tweet on your Twitter account (re-tweet), or click the link in the website sidebar that will automatically generate a tweet for you.

  3. I will use a random selection bot, like @tweetaways to select a user who has re-tweeted for the contest. I will contact you via twitter to select your gift and then I will ask you to DM me your mailing address so I can send you the gift!

Good Luck!!
