Published on December 18, 2010 in HAYNEEDLE. 0 Comments

THANK YOU!!!

Like parents swimming in a sea of wrapping paper late on Christmas Day, we ‘ve been struck by a stunning realization – 12 Days of Giveaways is over. But don’t dive desperately into an egg nog binge just yet – there are more contests yet to come!

If you’re like us, December overindulgence lives on in the form of January mirror avoidance. Hayneedle has toned up our selection of home fitness products, so expect another awesome contest on THIS BLOG in the beginning of the year. Until then, keep reading for more great tips, hints, sales and articles.

OUR FINAL 12 DAYS OF GIVEAWAYS WINNER:

Julie Patterson Davis found the Prince Baseline Table Tennis Table, posted it to our Facebook page, and “PING, PONG, PING, PONG” can hear the silver bells ringing already. Congratulations!

Happy Giveaways To All, And To All A Good Night!

12 Days of Giveaways – Day 12

Published on December 17, 2010 in HAYNEEDLE. 0 Comments

Sound the trumpet! Rev up the snow machines! Hide the holiday ham in the back of the fridge! It’s finally Day 12 of  12 Days of Giveaways and Santa Claus is comin’ to town. You know he’s hungry, you know he gives presents, but did you also know he likes Hayneedle? It’s true, and you should, too! For more great contests, deals, and variety shenanigans like this contest, be sure to “like” us on Facebook, follow us on Twitter, and check this blog on the regs.

We know you’re in this to win this, but don’t forget ’tis the season of giving. Be sure to give your friends a heads -up to our little contest to get yourself entered in our refer a friend giveaway. Every time someone enters our contest and names you as their referrer, you’ll get entered in a separate drawing for a $100 Hayneedle Gift Certificate! This is the last day so jingle your bells and get everyone over here!

But let’s not forget our Day 11 winners. Looks like Crystal Allen has more friends than you, or at least plied more of them with cookies, because she has won a $100 Gift Certificate from our refer-a-friend drawing. And Angela Akinniyi rounded up the Charm Blonde Rocking Horse with Movement and Sounds, posted it to our Facebook page, and keeps going back and forth on whether she likes cowboys.

Remember, the “I Found It” button is a little bit harder to find these days. You’ll have to look in the “Details & Dimensions” tab of the item to find it.

This is a fast-paces season – if  you don’t keep your wits about you, you could lose a fight for the last Tickle Me Elmo, fall for a counterfeit mall Santa, or decorate your spouse and buy a gift for the tree.  Today’s giveaway might be a game, but really it’s an all-out reflex-fest perfect for honing your Christmas skills. Go ahead, your serve.

Today’s giveaway…

  • Has a better green flat-top than anything seen in the 80′s
  • Facilitates quick back and forth between individuals or teams
  • Serves up a miniture Wimbledon every time
  • Is a real “Prince”

*Hint*
Wether you hold your paddle right-side-up or crazy like the professionals, it’s probably best to start your search here.

Remember, this is what you’re looking for:

Submissions will be accepted via Facebook until 11:59 pm tonight. One entry per person for giveaway – unlimited referrals. Winners will be announced tomorrow on this blog along with tomorrow’s giveaway. Good luck and happy hunting!

12 Days of Giveaways – Day 11

Published on December 16, 2010 in HAYNEEDLE. 0 Comments

It’s Day 12 Eve, also known as Day 11 of 12 Days of Giveaways! Get those sugarplums out of your head, this is no time for daydreaming! No, this is the time to scour the house for the largest net you can find, tack it firmly to the fireplace opening, slather yourself in Christmas tree-colored body paint, and wait patiently for your present-bearing prey to bumble into your trap. Or, you can join our little contest – whichever sounds simplest.

Don’t forget, you can also refer a friend to be entered in our secondary giveaway. Anytime someone enters the contest and names you as their referrer, you’ll be entered in a separate daily drawing for a $100 Hayneedle Gift Certificate. No limit on referrals or entries, so fire up your social media siren and blare it across the internets.

But first, our wonderful winners! Leslie Gosney has won a $100 Gift Certificate from our refer-a-friend drawing, proving that having friends really does pay off. And Kelly LaChance Guertin is today’s 12 Days of Giveaways winner. Kelly found the Kennedy Jewelry Box, posted it to our Facebook page, and suddenly wishes her jewelry collection was more than just candy necklaces.

Remember, the “I Found It” button is a little bit harder to find these days. You’ll have to look in the “Details & Dimensions” tab of the item to find it.

If you’re like us, you love kids. You might even have one! If your funny farm is filled with junior cowpokes just waiting for the Christmas rodeo, you’ll love today’s giveaway. Help them make the “neigh”borhood kids jealous.

Today’s giveaway…

  • Is furry, friendly, and fitted with a red bandanna
  • Is perfect for the little one who likes to “stirrup” trouble
  • Has movement and sound – just like the kids!
  • Ships the very next day – so you can make this Christmas rock.

*Hint*
Whoa, there, pardner. Hayneedle’s an awful big place… it’s best you start looking here.

12 Days of Giveaways – Day 9

Published on December 14, 2010 in HAYNEEDLE. 3 Comments

We were going to do Day 9 of 12 Days of Giveaways, but got sidetracked on a lovely song-and-dance in the Vermont countryside with some old military buddies. Bing and Danny sent their best, and also these clues, in an idyllically snow-covered envelope.

But first, yesterday’s winner! Sharon Hetrick Morrow found the Classic Playtime Play Table and Chair Set, posted it to our Facebook page, and is practicing her Goldilocks re-enactment.

Remember, the “I Found It” button is a little bit harder to unearth these days. You’ll have to look in the “Details & Dimensions” tab of the item to find it.

Guests coming? Guests that you like? Better get out the bedding for the guest bed/couch/cot/floor/hovel. If those sheets and pillows smell more like goose than down, you could probably use today’s giveaway.

Today’s item…

  • Has a rustic wood aroma that everybody loves
  • Is an ideal spot for bedding, games, or hidden presents
  • Boasts clean vintage lines and a walnut finish
  • Is a brand-new Hayneedle Exclusive

*Hint*
Baby, it’s cold outside! Stay warm, start here.
