Giveaway: Guess What’s In the Box & Win the Contents {Plus, a $100 Amazon Gift Card}

By Mavis Butterfield on -

christmas giveaway

Because it’s cold outside I’m twiddling my thumbs waiting for gardening season, and because the holidays are right around the corner and I’m feeling in giving mood, I’m thinking a giveaway is in order. So let’s play a game.

I ordered one of my very favorite gardening tools and it’s in this box just waiting to be shipped to one lucky winner. Take a look at this list of potential gardening gift ideas, check out some of their measurements to see what might fit and guess what you think this box contains.

Guess right and you win the item in the box!

But let’s not stop there {remember what I said about feeling in a giving mood?}.  One lucky incorrect guess giver will be randomly selected to win a $100 GIFT CARD TO AMAZON! Wahooo!

See that way even if you lose, you win. Tis the season!

amazon gift cardWHAT YOU WIN:

One correct guess giver will win the contents of the box {if multiple correct guesses are given, the winner will be randomly chosen from the correct guessers}. One incorrect guess giver will win a $100 Amazon Gift Card.

HOW YOU WIN IT:

Life’s pretty complicated sometimes, so I like to keep things simple around here. You have FIVE ways to enter: 1 required and 4 bonus entries. That means you can leave a total of FIVE comments below for FIVE awesome chances to win.

Which you totally should anyway.

I will ship this prize ANYWHERE on the planet earth, so go ahead and enter.

    This is way too hard, but I’m guessing it’s not the zip ties that keep coming up in the search results? 🙂

    I’m going to vote for the green gorilla gardening hands. And if I’m right, you need to share pictures of yourself using them because it would be like swimming in the dirt!

When I saw your post, I thought, geez I need to try this thing out. I have been just a bit intrepid about using it as I want to protect my shoulder muscle and toes (I like to wear sandals).
