This blog is where I document the giveaways that I so love to join and sometimes win. I don’t always record down every win but I like to record down the memorable ones here because its fun as a keepsakes or memory. After all a blog is a personal diary. Well, I have several blogs but this one is probably the closest one to my personal blog.

In October 2019 , I joined a Facebook contest posted on the Nuttlex Malaysia Facebook page. The contest mechanics was CAPTION & WIN!
Suggest a caption and Halloween recipe idea for the cooking image below to be in the draw to win one of three fantastic Halloween Hampers.

My caption was: “What’s this? I told you boys to put more Nuttelex Butter. More! We’ve got to have our Halloween cake taste real creamy and nice!”

Make a Halloween Candy Cake by baking a creamy butter cake using Nuttelex Butter. Decorate with Halloween Candy as topping.

I have to admit that sometimes when I join contests, I fail to read the important terms and conditions. So, I didn’t see this important term

” There are 3  HALLOWEEN HAMPER Prizes to be won, one for Australian residents, one for NZ residents and one for Malaysian residents. “

I thought that I would win some Nuttelex products in a Halloween hamper. I was in for a very big surprise!

To my delight, I discovered that I had won a Halloween hamper. After winning, I finally went around to read the terms and found out what I would be receiving!

The hamper was sent out immediately after the winner’s announcement but alas due to the long weekend holidays, I didn’t receive it till 1st November, 2019.

The hamper is amazing! It’s got everything you need for a Halloween party including a Halloween recipe book, Halloween baking pan, edible Halloween themed icing for decoration, Halloween cupcakes, Halloween party banner and bunting, Halloween witches hats, Halloween pinata, Halloween paper cups, paper plates, balloons, Halloween pinata, Halloween make-up kit, Halloween photo props, skeleton lawn decoration, eyeball candles, Halloween pop-up chandelier and more. So awesome! I’ve never had everything available to organize a themed party like this! The picture above is everything I received. Below, I zoomed in on some of my favourites.

Today I received a Happy Bunch of Things literally from a floral and gifts delivery company aptly called Happy Bunch.

I had won this gift box from a Facebook Giveaway Contest organized by Happy Bunch. It was a Hometown Giveaway Contest and participants were required to talk about the one thing they missed most from their hometowns.

I won the Glow Box. This is one of the currently 4 gift boxes being offered at the Happy Bunch website. Described as a box loaded with calming goodness, let’s see what’s in it!

• There’s a silky eyeshade embroidered with the words goodnight on it.
• Two satchets of Rhymba Hylls Lemongrass, Roselle and Ceylon Cinnamon tea which includes all of those ingredients plus kaffir lime leaves and tumeric.
• An Ischia Miracle Marine Collagen Magic Gel Corset Mask formulated with marine collagen and hot spring water
• A loofah handmade soap from Sabun Society with sea salt and citrus fragrance oil, and
• A faux jade facial roller (it’s quite heavy)

I first heard about this brand on Facebook. It seems that they have a good presence on Facebook for every time I go onto FB, there they are, calling out to me to try their exciting health products. How to try? As a contest lover, well the best way to try is to have fun joining contests and get a sampling of their products if you win.

Many of my contest friends have won products too. My contest loving friends are all in a private group of contest lovers so sometimes we compare prizes.

“Have you received yours yet?” “What did you get?”

Signature Market certainly knows how to organizer exciting giveaways. They have giveaways on their Signature Market Facebook page as well as their Signature Market YouTube channel. They have exciting FB live giveaways to countdown to a marketing campaign or promo. There are so many ways to join, win, try their products and sign up on their website and after that you are hooked and there is no turning back.

I joined one of their YouTube contests recently. I love those because it requires you to watch a cooking demo (I love cooking demos) so that’s not too hard and after that you leave a comment and stand a chance to win…. exciting kitchen gadgets!!! I wanted to win the bread maker or air fryer so much! I didn’t but I didn’t do too bad either. I won RM150 worth of Signature Market products! It was a surprise box! I love mystery boxes, well, unless they are filled with outdated calendars, key chains or coasters.

I got my son to do an unboxing video of my mystery box from Signature Market since he just finished his exams and was doing nothing except playing video games all day. I think its better for him to learn some video editing skills so tadaaa here’s our unboxing video!

After unboxing the video, we “unpackaged” the packages. The video editor was hungry from all that editing. The fish skin was crispy, thin and delicious. The nuts were heavenly. We’re nuts about nuts by the way. However, even nutty people like us will know if the nut is not fresh. This one was.

Having said this, I must add that awhile back we did win some spicy fish skin but we did not find that to be as good as this. We found that one a bit on the thick side and not that fresh but perhaps it is because we are not particularly fond of spicy food to begin with.

Other items we had in our box include Organic Chia Seed Beetroot Ramen, Organic Apple Cider and Wild Honey Vinegar and Organic First Draw Soy Sauce.

I am now on their mailing list and every time I open it I feel tempted and the excitement never ends because they just keep on adding new products, now there’s even essential oils and baby cereals and biscuits. Fans of healthy living who love essential oils can check out the promo below.

I have become more brand aware every since I started joining giveaways. After I started joining contests, I start to learn a lot about new as well as existing brands which I previously did not know of.

Now when I go to the supermarket or mall, I would see all the brands of food and other products which I had joined in giveaways. I would discover new restaurants, meals and menus too. It’s quite fun and interesting.

I first heard of Royal-B Honey from a post shared by a friend. Royal-B Honey was giving away honey to lucky winners. The company is so generous in giving away the honey to participants because this is how they have chosen to spend their marketing dollars.

It is quite effective too. I joined several of their giveaways. I didn’t always win but I had a lot of fun participating. One of the giveaways required me to take a photo of their product at the supermarket. I had fun sneaking a photo at the honey shelf at Aeon.

I became strangely loyal to the brand after having consumed one or two complimentary bottles. Before this, I was taking the cheap brands and I could taste the difference. The cheap ones just tasted sugary. On the other end of the spectrum, there were the expensive ones which I couldn’t afford so I didn’t buy those. I find that Royal-B is affordably priced and had the real goodness taste of honey too.

So from giveaway contestant, I ended up being a customer. I went to buy new bottles after my complimentary bottle finished. I am quite a heavy consumer of honey as I drink it, put it on food, our pancakes, french toasts etc. I usually buy a bottle every other week or at least once a month.

Royal-B honey is harvested from the Largest Bees farm in Malaysia, naturally blended, filtered and packed. You can find it in most supermarkets all over Malaysia.

You can follow their Facebook Page to be informed of their honey giveaways.

Recently, I joined a Facebook Giveaway by Cheong Kwan Jang MY. It was a rather fun giveaway. All I had to do was follow the Cheong Kwan Jang store on Lazada and count how many times Lee Min Ho appeared in the store.

To my surprise, I was selected as one of the winners and received a RM200 e-voucher on Lazada as promised to purchase Cheong Kwan Jang products with ginseng. Since I don’t really have any older folks at home, I purchased ginseng candy and ginseng honey paste instead which the kids would enjoy more. Although I was really tempted to get the ginseng tonic extract that you see Lee Min Ho carrying below because I always see many scenes in Korean Drama of them enjoying their ginseng in this convenient manner.

Below is Cheong Kwan Jang store on Lazada which I bought the products from. The items came the next day. Really fast shipping. They were nicely wrapped up in bubble wrap and the expiry date is quite far away too.

Currently the page is doing two new giveaways.

1. Love in the Pocket Video Contest (extended deadline is 31st October 2019) requiring purchase with exciting prizes like air tickets to Korea, Taiwan etc
2. Make a Wish and Get Contest (deadline 16 October 2019) with e-voucher of RM200 to buy Cheong Kwan Jang products at their Lazada e-store
