12 Days of Giveaways 2022

It happens every year but this year, Christmas came early!  We know things get busy as we get closer to Christmas so rather than wait until December to launch our annual holiday giveaway series – we decided to go early.  For the next 12 days of giveaways (or mayyyyyybe longer…WINK WINK NUDGE NUDGE) we’ll be releasing a new giveaway each day.

How It Works

You’ll be seeing a variety of giveaways, throughout the next few weeks.  These giveaways serve a big purpose (beyond giving away fun prizes and packages to you).  They allow us ALL to show up for and support the small businesses that we work with. By entering these giveaways and following the brands we’ve partnered with you’re raising your hand to support local — and that means the world to them (and us).

Here’s how it works:

1. Each day, a new giveaway will “Go Live” right here on this page (see below for ways to enter)
2. Get some mega bonuses’ by visiting our Gift Guides and showing these local businesses some love.  All you have to do is SHOW UP (just click here to visit) and leave a comment on the blog post so we can tally.  This gets you 5 extra entries into each contest!
