The ultimate, super-fantastic gift giveaway


by Erik Nov 9, 2006 fileunderFound in Giveaway


Drum roll, please....

...and the winner is.....


ajiemar!

While we're not going to be sending ajiemar plantation shutters, a PS3, or world peace, he will be receiving a brand new Nintendo Wii. Congratulations, ajiemar, and thanks to everyone who played.

>>>>THIS CONTEST IS OFFICIALLY CLOSED<<<

On November 25th ProductWiki will celebrate its first birthday. To celebrate this occasion and the upcoming holiday we’ve decided to throw a gift giveaway contest for our community. We’ve come a long way from our early beginnings.

At 11.59pm EST on November 25th, 2006 we will draw one of our eligible community member’s contest entries from a hat (well, not literally, but using some other electronic random method) to win their choice of one of three prizes we have selected.

The point of the contest is two-fold. (1) We want to give something back to our community and think that giving away some of the more popular stuff listed on ProductWiki is a perfect way to do it. (2) We want our community to get involved because this is an interactive contest after all…

The Prizes

If you are selected as the winner of the contest, you will get to choose from the following three prizes (the list is also available here):

1) Nintendo Wii [link]


Approx. retail value: $250

2) Matt & Nat Jorja Fox [link]


Approx. retail value: $125


3) Apple iPod Nano 8GB [link]


Approx. retail value: $250

How to Play

As the name of the contest implies, the theme of this contest is gifts. All you need to do to gain entry is to register (or sign in if you've already registered) for ProductWiki and post a comment at the bottom of this article telling the community what your ultimate gift would be. It can be anything. Be creative!

This comment will give you one entry into the contest. If you decide you would like to make more comments, go ahead, but each subsequent comment will not count as an entry.

Now, if you want to better your chances you can add products to ProductWiki. Each product you add (once you’ve posted your comment) will get you another bonus entry into the contest. The product must include an image and a description. There is no limit to the number entries you can be awarded.

Please contact us at the email listed below to get an official count of your entries into the contest.

Other important stuff

If you are chosen as a winner, we will send you an email confirming your win to the address you registered with the site. You will have 48 hours to respond to claim your prize, and if you do not respond within that time frame, we will draw another entry.

ProductWiki employees are not eligible for the contest. (We may comment just for fun!)

We will require a valid shipping address and contact phone number if you win. This contest is only available for shipping addresses in the US and Canada. We will ship your item as soon as possible, so please allow the standard 6-8 weeks for delivery. This is subject to availability. (We’ll do our best to get you your prize ASAP).

If you have any questions or concerns please email us at contest@productwiki.com.

The contest opens at 3pm EST, November 9th, 2006 and closes at 11.59pm, November 25th, 2006.

Good luck!

The ProductWiki Team

More free time to relax :)
2.  avatar Erik  Nov 09, 2006 4:43pm

I know this doesn't count but I really want a jetpack and/or a spacetime continuum machine. Maybe together?
3.  avatar allgames  Nov 09, 2006 4:56pm

My ultimate gift would be a new mac book pro with the core duo. I've never been a mac guy, I've always loved the PC for its game selection, application, and familiarity, but every time I watch on of those Steve Jobs presentations, he makes me feel like i NEED a mac. The software, the design, very very slick. But it's the boot camp option that has made me want it most. The ability to run the Mac OS and software, with a dual boot option for running XP/Vista is exactly what I want. The whole Duo Core processor and 2 gigs of ram make it a great little editing station for all my video that I shoot. If I got a mac book pro for the holidays, I might just convert away from the PC. Of course a wii wouldn't be too bad either :)
4.  avatar ehelsley  Nov 09, 2006 4:58pm

My ultimate gift would be an unlimited number of downloads at iTunes, so that I could listen to all the music I really love over and over again!
5.  avatar Amanie  Nov 09, 2006 5:11pm

Hey ehelsley, you should check out the MusicGremlin, they offer an unlimited subscription (although I have no idea how much that would cost)!
6.  avatar starbuck93  Nov 09, 2006 5:34pm

My gift would be an ultimate XBOX prize pack. It would have an Xbox 360 wirless controlers and many, many, games! I also like allgames gift!
7.  avatar rsp1976  Nov 09, 2006 6:02pm

Can't believe I am the first to say PS3! But I'll settle for that Wii.
8.  avatar SidVicious  Nov 09, 2006 8:05pm

For me, the ultimate gift would be a GeForce 8800GTX along with a soon-to-be-released Kentsfield C2Q6600 (quad core CPU) and a Swiftech Storm impingement waterblock. Once I'd get all of that hooked to my watercooling system, I'll overclock everything to the verge of stability and enjoy a better-than-bleeding-edge system.

Endless Happyness !
10.  avatar khairulshah  Nov 10, 2006 4:07am

A new laptop for me!
11.  avatar buzz3953  Nov 10, 2006 7:45am

A certified cheque for $50,000.00 or more.
12.  avatar Jan  Nov 10, 2006 12:10pm

I would like a machine that sleeps for me. We loose a lot of time sleeping while we could do much more.
13.  avatar Erik  Nov 10, 2006 12:16pm

Ok, I know I already wrote my gift, but Jan's comment inspired me. I would like a machine that allows me to "bank time". Say I'm waiting in line and it's boring. I'll fast forward the 2 hours waiting and then use that time on the weekend when I'm doing something fun. No physical laws broken right? Jan, I do love sleep though...
14.  avatar garyseto  Nov 10, 2006 2:31pm

A lottery ticket with every number combination possible...... (encore included)
15.  avatar dakalvia  Nov 10, 2006 8:53pm

This one is obvious my fine-feathered, fair-weathered friends: a fur coat with matching fur underpants made of REAL 100% Yeti fur. So warm...so cozy...so smelly...so utterly tantalizing.
16.  avatar kibbumkim  Nov 10, 2006 11:25pm

my ultimate gift would be a personal robotic secretary who could type up everything, summarize texts, make my photocopies, shop for me, feed me, dress me...basically do everything that i need to do while i have fun and party hehehe
17.  avatar myladnoturs  Nov 11, 2006 1:09pm

Every DVD available on the market!
18.  avatar gdog05  Nov 13, 2006 8:33am

I just want peace on earth and good will toward men and women. ....And the new Batmobile with rockets, lasers and a machine gun!! That would be cool too!
19.  avatar aspade  Nov 13, 2006 11:21am

My ultimate gift would be a winning lottery ticket for at least 10 million dollars! hahah I would then get a small job just to stimulate my brain and travel around the world with someone special.. ahh.. would that be awesome.... (and the daydreaming continues.. hehe)
20.  avatar Tina  Nov 13, 2006 4:04pm

Speaking of daydreams...an all inclusive trip to Hawaii for a month (or more) would be absolutely fantabulous!
21.  avatar jesu  Nov 13, 2006 7:33pm

I'd love to get the money back from all the junk I've accumlated over the years, and for someone to take the junk. Gratuitous petrol would also be quite a gift. A multi-fold gift that enables visiting, errand running, and the raw joy of motoring. Oh yeah, and radar inhibitive paint for my car.
22.  avatar plabrecque  Nov 14, 2006 4:02pm

Ultimate gift would be a snowblower, had to shovel snow on the weekend for the first time and it sucked. Combine the snowblower with the yeti fur underwear and that would make it the most unbelievable ultimate gift.....
23.  avatar chezwigger  Nov 14, 2006 5:11pm

the ultimate gift would be a trip to the moon. naturally, once there you would get to fire a death ray laser indiscriminantly. round trip not included.
24.  avatar Erik  Nov 14, 2006 6:10pm

Niiiiiiiiice....I love the moon. I am, however, afraid of being stuck on the moon. Here's a good alternative. Or this.
25.  avatar BrianBoitano  Nov 15, 2006 7:22pm

A 3D printer and SolidWorks. Make anything you could ever dream of! (Of course, modify the printer to print metal :P)
26.  avatar silence omo7  Nov 15, 2006 7:30pm

A big mug O hot chocolate.What? Its cold where I am sitting. A really cool gift...I would have to go with a huge surplus of fireworks. Nothin better on the Fourth of July (or any day for that matter) to light things on fire+blow them up+have the neighbors call the cops on you.
27.  avatar tulloaol  Nov 15, 2006 11:56pm

ultimate gift would be the sony ericcson p990i. this smartphone has it all! hey you never know...it may even sleep for you too! otherwise, everyone should have this gift...everyone needs organization in the palm of their hands.
28.  avatar Caper  Nov 16, 2006 11:46am

When it comes right down to it, the ultimate gift is the ability to give to others in need and to have the commitment to helping those in the community. Christmas is coming, afterall!
29.  avatar motorcity  Nov 16, 2006 4:16pm

I would like a puppy
30.  avatar Amanie  Nov 16, 2006 5:54pm

Aww, that's cute.
31.  avatar silence omo7  Nov 16, 2006 6:46pm

A puppy would be cute...but what about a baby penguin! I mean, dogs have been evil before (think dogs from Resident Evil). Have you every seen an evil penguin? Plus it could be wearing a tiny tuxedo. So cool. Some people are dog people. I'm a penguin person. But really, have you ever seen a puppy staring at you with its big blue eyes and not melted in a flurry of "O, its so cute. Lets buy it!" Good idea motorcity!

32.  avatar silence omo7  Nov 16, 2006 6:59pm

If you want cute little animals, watch the video Kiwi! on YouTube. I warn you, the ending is sad. Its tags are kiwi, flying, cliff, trees.
33.  avatar ajiemar  Nov 16, 2006 7:51pm

plantation shutters...yeah. or a PS3 or world peace...yeah good one
34.  avatar Amanie  Nov 16, 2006 8:53pm

I agree silence_omo! Penguins are the new puppy!
35.  avatar kitsgirl  Nov 19, 2006 11:23am

A novel contract.
36.  avatar David  Nov 20, 2006 2:58pm

My ultimate gift would be a magical pass I can use to accomplish all my life goals.
37.  avatar patch24060  Nov 20, 2006 3:00pm

My ultimate gift would be the ability to control the flow of time.
38.  avatar Amanie  Nov 20, 2006 4:39pm

kitsgirl, I hope you get a novel contract, too! That would be awesome. Have you ever checked out this blog? It's a great reference for agent information and the blogger is really funny.
39.  avatar evadrs  Nov 22, 2006 9:42am

I will choose a magical lantern...from which, upon proper excitation, would suddenly spring forth a fantastic and sexy genie. I wish...
40.  avatar Mac Daddy  Nov 22, 2006 1:31pm

Luke Skywalkers light-saber with Dark Vaders blood on it!
41.  avatar Alieh  Nov 22, 2006 2:06pm

CSI: EVERYTHING! Well For Me. I dont know what you want.
42.  avatar lilblu3  Nov 22, 2006 9:27pm

Hmmmm...can I have a pony? I've always wanted a pony. Ooh, or how about a trip around the world...or, hmm....a Wii maybe?
43.  avatar angeladanger  Nov 23, 2006 12:17pm

Great way to show appreciation for your community! Excellent!
44.  avatar Amanie  Nov 23, 2006 4:03pm

A ridiculous no-holds-barred shopping spree would be nice. Somewhere that's not Waterloo. Look, I have nothing against you Hudson's Bay Company, but you're not exactly screaming fashion.
45.  avatar silence omo7  Nov 23, 2006 8:13pm

Evadrs, you are a true visionary. We should all have magic lamps with sexy genies in a perfect world.
46.  avatar Doom-Do-Do-Dah  Nov 24, 2006 4:59pm

There is nothing I want now more than a plate full of warm pancakes, lots of honey for them, some moist french toast, about ten breakfast sausages, poached eggs, a big, colourful and heavy mug of gourmet coffee, and a space for you to share all of this with me.
47.  avatar emie  Nov 25, 2006 2:31pm

A small cat who will know only me and be fed by me only.
48.  avatar Verytreeleaf  Nov 25, 2006 11:12pm

a portable time machine
49.  avatar raymundo  Nov 25, 2006 11:18pm

I want a new bedroom set!!!
50.  avatar 8-Ball  Nov 25, 2006 11:26pm

if i could have any gift i want, anything in this world, i'd have a paid-for vacation that will last the rest of my life.
51.  avatar ajiemar  Nov 27, 2006 5:21pm
