Celebrate fall with a $1000 shopping spree!

Autumn is upon us! And I'm not complaining. I never complain about autumn. It is the winter that drives me crazy.

On the one hand the first few days of autumn feel nice - it reminds me that the holiday season is almost here, and soon there'll be loads of Christmas shopping to do! It reminds of the pumpkin pies and cakes and bakes for Christmas! But once the festive season is gone, the months of grey until we start getting the first signs of spring are the hardest. That is when I complain!

For now, I am just waiting for the first of the chestnut stands - heisse marroni to come up at my favourite spots! Then there is some shopping for the winter to be done - need to buy a new coat, and some boots as well. Of late, my mailbox has been flooding with "10% off fall clothes" or 25% off blah blah if you spend more than blah, and so on. All that talk of the latest trends etc isn't helping me to not hit the stores!

And then I got a mail from one of my favourite stores - beso.com. They have a lucky draw and one person can win a $1000 shopping spree!! Woohoo!

And don't worry, if you can't win that, one of you can always win a $25 gift card from yours truly. That wouldn't buy you much, but it does enter you for that $1000 contest.

Interested? Read on for the few simple steps to enter..

1. Go to beso.com, and enter the We Love Brands contest
2. Come back here and include a BESO link in the comments box for one of items you’d purchase if you were the $1,000 winner.
3. Follow Snacksgiving publicly. Just click on the "Follow" button on the right pane of this blog.

For an 1 extra entry:
• Post the Beso Shopping Widget on your blog found here: http://www.beso.com/blog/beso-shopping-widget/ and post a link of your blog here.

The We Love Brands ends on Oct 6. So you have time to enter until then. On Oct 8, Saturday, I'll pick out a winner of the $25 gift card.

Giveaway Winner

We have a winner! The giveaway from beso.com goes to Comment#43 - Shabitha Karthikeyan of "My Home Kitchen recipes". Congratulations! We'll be contacting you shortly.

I used random.org to come up with the winner. We had 65 comments in total.

random.org picked up 43 for the winning comment.



Actually it was a different number that was first given - but when I checked, the person had only left a comment, and not "Liked beso.com on Facebook" or tweeted giveway/followed this blog according to the rules. So to make it a fair giveaway, I went ahead and generated a new number.

Thank you all for participating. And thanks beso.com for giving me the opportunity to host this giveaway.

Win a $100 giveaway and a chance to win a Kitchen Aid standmixer!

It's almost been a year since Snacksgiving was born. Although I envisioned it to be at a better place that it is today, it doesn't stop us from partying and celebrating.
Joining us in the party are beso.com - an online shopping destination that allows you to browse products at thousands of stores - from big name retailers to exclusive online stores and boutiques. What makes it so user friendly is that you can customize your search options to browse by your favorite category, brand, or store and create your own little gallery - all this at one place rather than browsing each store individually.

For example, here is what I have been browsing - some waffle and bread makers, and some food processors that I have narrowed down by brands.

One lucky winner will get a $100 gift card to their favorite store from the beso.com shop. To enter the giveaway:

• Do a search on beso.com for your favorite kitchen or home items and paste the url of your search results in the comments section below. It'd be nice to know why you chose that particular item(s). The link should be from beso.com.
• "Like" Beso on Facebook
• Follow Snacksgiving publicly - the Google Friend Connect is there to help.
• Tweet about this giveaway. Just copy and paste this on twitter. RT @Snacksgiving :Enter a $100 giveaway to your favourite online store - open internationally. http://bit.ly/bNxmAZ #giveaway

For an extra entry.

• "Like" Snacksgiving on Facebook. And then comment here again.

The giveaway is open internationally and ends on 12-June-2010 - when we celebrate our birthday!

Oh, and another thing. I'll ask you a question. Do you want to win a Kitchen Aid standmixer?

Do I see a nod? Well of course I do. Who doesn't want a shiny new Kitchen Aid? There is another contest open until 31-May-2010 giving you the chance to win your favourite kitchen gadget. All you need to do it share your favourite summer recipe and tell why you love it, tweet about the contest, and follow beso on twitter. Here is link to enter. 31-May-2010 is the deadline for this contest so hurry up. Good luck!

This giveaway is open to international readers so anyone can enter. if your profile doesn't link to your contact info, be sure to leave your email address so we can get in touch with you if you're the winner.

The winner will be randomly selected on Saturday, June 12 at 10am c.e.t. to receive a $100 gift card to their favorite beso.com shop. This post is sponsored by beso.com. I recieved a $50 gift certificate for my efforts in hosting the giveaway. The final responsibility for the giveaway rests with beso.com
