An iPad For Christmas

iPad giveaway

Welcome to the iPad for Christmas giveaway event hosted by yours truly!

Yes, here I am again with my iPad giveaways! LOL! Special shoutout to my co-hosts Mom to Bed By 8, Frugal FilAm and Shopaholic Mommy who helped make this giveaway possible!

On December 23 last year, I received a call at around 9am from a guy informing me that I won their company’s iPad giveaway. I was shocked! So shocked that I didn’t even believe it at first. All I could say to him was “ok”. I mean, sure, I enter all the iPad giveaways I see on blogs and on Facebook but I never really expect that I’d win one.  Since the caller said he would call me again after he has purchased the iPad, my hubby just told me to wait for the call and see. Well, after the second call, it was agreed that my husband would pick up the prize at the company’s office in Palo Alto, which is more or less a 30-minute drive from San Jose.

And that’s how I won that iPad giveaway for Christmas last year.

That moment was so wonderful and exciting for me and I would like for one of my readers to have the same experience too!

Would you, or someone you know, love to win an iPad just before Christmas? This is your chance because we’re giving away a 16GB iPad with retina display ($499) to one lucky reader!!! Already have an iPad? No problem! You can opt for the cash equivalent via Paypal!

Giveaway runs from November 20, 12:01am EST to December 17, 11:59pm EST. Open worldwide. If winner is outside the US, he/she will get the cash equivalent. Must be 18 years or older to be eligible.

  9. Such a cute story . I have entered so many contests but never won anything,it came to a point where I almost gave up .
    But then Christmas is all about hopes and dream come true. So hoping and dreaming to win. Do make me lucky this time 🙂

    • You’ll definitely enter more giveaways once you start winning something. I’ve won quite a few giveaways but that’s because I really enter so many giveaways everyday. Just enter, enter, enter and that time will come. 🙂

  51. I checked out your blog a bit and see that you are from SJ in the Bay Area. I lived in Sj for many years before moving a little south to small town living, so I feel a little “kinship” with your blog since we are practically neighbors! LOL I am so GLAD to read that everything turned out for you and your healthy 18 mo. old!!! God IS good!!

    • Thank you, Kathleen! Yes, He is good and I thank Him for every single day that I’m alive and get to spend time with my son and husband. Great to virtually meet someone who’s lived in the Bay Area! God bless you!
