TheHive's 12 Days of Christmas Giveaway - THE RULES

Today begins another fun happening in TheHive.  We've spent a month getting ready and are soooo excited to be doing this for the first time ever!  This giveaway has only happened through the generosity of our members and their donations.... so don't forget to thank the artist/business who has provided that's day's drawing and please stop by their shop.

So, let's get to the rules... Contests and giveaways are fun, but on our end they can have some difficulties.  This blog is specifically to let everyone know the rules.  This blog will not count toward entries - it only serves the purpose of providing everyone with information on how to win!

THE RULES (Daily giveaways)- 

  • In order to enter into that day's giveaway, you must comment on that day's blog thread by the end of the day. 
  • You may comment as often as you like - please do - but only one entry will be counted per person for that giveaway. 
  • There will be a daily drawing of winners.  You can win only one daily prize but keep commenting because you can still win the grand prize!

Additional ways to enter the Grand prize giveaway - do some or all of these

  • All daily entries will go into grand prize giveaway, including daily prize winners
  • Tweet that day's 12 days entry and include the hashtag #Hive12days (it is also recommended that you use the hashtags #twitterbees & #freebies for additional exposure when possible)
  • Invite new members!  Each time a new member joins who is referred by you during the 12 days of Christmas, you will receive an additional entry to the Grand Prize!
  • Tell your facebook friends!  Use the FB share link to tell everyone about our contest - then tell us by leaving us the URL to your FB page in the comments (yes, that could be your daily comment entry)
  • Using your "outside blog", let everyone know about our exciting new contest by doing a blog about it.  Helping us get more exposure will help you win by earning you an additional entry.

Some additional things to know -

All gifts were donated by the artist/sponsoring company.  Most will be mailing them to you directly and we do not have ownership of them.  It is the responsibility of the sponsoring artist/company to deliver these to members.  TheHive does not accept responsibility for lost, damaged or non-delivered giveaway items. 

No Hive staff members may enter the contest.  We will be commenting, but we do not have the right to win (which really stinks because I personally really LOVE some of these pieces!)

To see what is available each day, visit TheHive's 12 Days of Christmas Giveaways - What you can win!!

Rolling out all the giveaways in a separate blog right now Barbara - it's going to be amazing fun!

DBDD - I did, but it was a while ago - you must have just missed it.... I'm writing the final blog if you would like to add it for one of the last days we can still get it on there!

I would be lucky if I win something.  i hope I'm one of the lucky one's for any of the days, but day # 10 is what I'm really hoping for.  I really can use the Scrap and tote.  But with my luck I would be happy for any of them.

Thanks for the chance.

hmmm... I don't have a problem with anyone outside of the US winning.. the only issue may be the individual sponsors shipping to those areas.  I hadn't considered that question.  I better check with them first since most are shipping directly to the winners. I'm not sure about cost/customs....

Gees, this is the first I've even had a chance to actually read the post telling about the contest, though I knew it was going on.  I need more time, sigh.  Sounds like, saw an impressive list of wonderful give aways also.  Good luck to all who enter, have fun with it.  I'm gonna have that song stuck in my head now, lol, never cared for that song...so if I'm crazy by days end I'm pointing a finger at you, lol.

I've seen reference to hashtag's before, but don't have a clue what they are, how to use them etc to accomplish what you described.  Heading for more caffeine, must wake up.
