By 61 comments

Can you believe it’s December already? Thanksgiving is over and Hanukkah is under way; which also means that it’s officially shopping season! In fact, today is Cyber Monday, the busiest online shopping day of the year. So I rallied some of my favorite food bloggers together and we decided to give someone a little extra spending money this holiday season. A little? Heck…we decided to give away $600! After all, we truly appreciate and love all of our readers!

All you have to do is enter through the Rafflecopter link below and tell us what you would do with an extra $600 this holiday season. Once you comment, you will have over 50 other chances to enter. The giveaway runs from December 2-15, 2013 and one winner will be chosen and notified on December 16, 2013. Please read the complete Terms & Conditions as this giveaway is only valid for U.S residents only (Sorry, rules of the gift card company prohibit us from offering this outside of the U.S.).

    I would buy presents for my 3 boys. I am disabled and my husband lost his job so we are trying to survive on my disability which doesn't go very far. So to win this would be a blessing for sure!

    We would use half and share the rest with a family member in need.

    I would spend it on those I love! It's been a while since we've been able to getaway as a family. Would plan a weekend getaway!

    My husband is starting a new business, so money is a little tight this season. $600.00 would ensure that we could have Christmas at our house after all!

    We had to move cross country because my husband couldn't find a job on the West Coast and he had to go back to his old job on the East Coast. We had to leave being close to my kids and grandkids. I would use the money to fly to the West Coast to see my family.

    I love spending money on others! I would purchase as much as I could for children (toys, clothing, etc.) and donate them to our local shelter. What a blessed thought!!!

    This year's been lean for us, so I would use the money to pay down some of our bills and to give my daughter a nice Christmas/Birthday. Thanks so much for the great giveaway! Ilene

    2013 has been a rough year. Between dog surgeries, wrecked cars and getting robbed, we could really use a leg up. The money would be used to pay off some of our bills and the rest would go to our savings account for our Yellowstone trip next July!

    This would finish off Christmas for us! I did pretty well on Black Friday, but I still have a few more gifts and our extended family to buy for.

    I'd be able to pay off some of those student loans that seem neverending!

    Use it to pay down either parent college loans or our daughter's wedding....

    I would surprise my husband with a gift. We haven't exchanged gifts in 5 years since having kids. We spend a small budget on the kids. I would love to surprise him with something nice.

    I am the manager of a food pantry in Indianapolis called The Sharing Place. I would buy meat because that is what we run out of most often.

    Oh I'd buy my brother a set of pots and pans, dishes, and cutlery as the first thing! He just moved into a new place with his wife and they need furnishings!

    If I had an extra $600, I would take my hubby on vacation. With four teenagers, we need it!

    The year has been so rough on our family, there are so many things I could do with this. I would probably use half of it to get an Xbox w/ Kinect that my kids have been begging for to put under the tree...and the rest? I'd use it to clothe the kids.

    If I had an extra $600 I'd use it to buy Christmas presents. My car died on Black Friday, so Christmas will be slim this year.
  22. Amy says:
    December 2, 2013 at 9:25 pm
    While I SHOULD use it to pay bills or help boost our savings, I know myself and I would use it to take my family to a fun holiday outing -- Yuletide or Wicked (in some other city) or a Colts game. Some good old-fashioned family togetherness.

    If I won $600.... I would probably use it to buy toys! I am hosting a large Toys for Tots toy drive this weekend... it'd be great to have a ton more to give!

    I would buy a new cooktop for my kitchen. I hate my current one. I would also use it to help buy presents for my boys. :)

    December 2, 2013 at 10:08 pm

    What would I get? Hard to say. I have 9 children including the 3 spouses, and 4 grandchildren with another due next June. I would love to be able to help my kids out. A new baby coming, 3 of them in college. Maybe I could be selfish and do something just for my husband and I. That would be a switch!
  35. Katrina Moody says:

    We would use some of it to help out with our kids' Christmas and I think I'd pay it forward with the rest and share it with another special needs family (hopefully they can be split easily?) ... I couldn't do a giving campaign this year so it would be nice to be able to still help another family.
  36. Crystal says:

    I should probably say pay bills, but I would totally buy myself a camera.
  37. Jennifer says:
    December 3, 2013 at 6:54 am
    I would use some to pay bills, and the rest to send to some friends that are having a rough time..

    December 3, 2013 at 9:36 am
    Oh, goodness! What would I do? I might save it so that our family could have a vacation next year! We were planning to go without, but this would cover a weekend getaway. :)

    Bless my family and randomly surprise some folks who need a little extra love.

    I would finish Christmas shopping in a flash instead of weighing all of the sales, and then donate more to the Christmas store we support through church. Right now my kids each pick one gift each to donate, would love to knock out their "most needed" list!!!
  41. Ashley says:
    December 3, 2013 at 11:29 am
    This would be awesome!
  42. Jen L says:

    i would shop for Toys for Tots
  43. Anna Shirley says:
    December 3, 2013 at 1:43 pm
    I think I'd have to share the wealth and get gifts for those that won't have a great Christmas. And maybe a big care package for a few people I know who are struggling.
  44. Nichole Norris says:
    December 3, 2013 at 3:30 pm
    I would use it to buy my family members nice gifts, it's been awhile since I have been able to afford to get anyone anything really nice.
  45. Kristy K says:
    December 3, 2013 at 4:04 pm
    I'd perform a bunch of Random Acts of Kindness with this money. Help others in need. Tis the season!
  46. Connie Lee says:
    December 3, 2013 at 10:04 pm
    I would spend some for groceries, gas, Christmas gifts, donate some, and save some.
  47. Birdiebee says:
    December 4, 2013 at 11:18 pm
    I would put it towards a washer and dryer.
  48. Victoria says:
    December 5, 2013 at 8:14 am
    I would pack up the family and head for a weekend away. Perhaps at an indoor water park.

  54. Melissa says:

    Since the Christmas shopping is done, I would use it to pay off our credit card debt. My husbands work for the last 18 years is closing its doors in February and we are trying to and pay things off.
  55. Heather says:
    December 15, 2013 at 10:44 am
    Some of it would go towards Christmas gifts to some well-deserving Russian boys I know. The rest would probably go towards child-care at Christmas since I don't get the time off when the girls are off school
  56. Beth Hoban says:
    December 15, 2013 at 11:56 am
    I need some new eyeglasses!!
  57. Jaclyn F. says:
    December 15, 2013 at 1:01 pm
    I would bless someone this Christmas who is in need. No child should be without.
  58. Lisa Thompson says:

    I'd really like to buy an embroidery machine so I could make a little extra money!

    I'd put half toward buying toys for the kids at Riley or St. V's children's hospital, and the other half toward gifts for friends/family. :)
