UPDATE: This giveaway has now ended!
I have an amazing Christmas giveaway to tell all of you about, but first I want to let each of you know how much you're appreciated! I started this blog for friends and family in the spring of 2008 and since then my blog has grown and grown.. and grown! I cannot believe all the amazing readers I have. This blog would honestly NOT be possible without each and every one of you!
This year has been one of the best years of my life! I have three amazing kids, one amazing husband and so many amazing friends (that's all of you)! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!
I really wish there was a way to express the gratitude I feel towards each of you, so this is where my giveaway comes in. First, let me say, I wish I could hand deliver a gift to every one of you, but that's just not possible... so instead I'm giving 20 of you one incredible gift!
I am giving 20 of my wonderful readers $100 to spend on Amazon.com... yes, $100! There are 2 rules to this giveaway--the first rule, you can only purchase items that qualify for Super Saver Shipping or Amazon Prime. And the other rule, $50 of the $100 dollars you get will be spent on toys of your choice to donate to Toys For Tots. The other $50 will go towards any item/items you want. You could get something for yourself, your hubby, your kids or anyone else!
This will be a 24 hour giveaway and I will announce the 20 winners tomorrow, 12/17 at 6pm EST! The 20 winners will then get to choose the $50 worth of toys they'd like to donate to Toys For Tots. All the toys will be shipped to me and then on one of my upcoming "Follow Me Monday" videos, you'll get to see me donate $1000 worth of toys! The winners will also email me what they'd like to get with the other $50. I will have these items shipped directly to them and they will receive them before Christmas! More details to come once the winners are announced.
Alright, so are you ready to enter?
Just let us know what you are thankful for this year, then leave your first name and tell us where you're from (city/state).
Want another entry?
Subscribe to my email updates or RSS Feed and let me know by leaving a separate comment. You can also leave an additional comment if you are already a subscriber!
Want a third entry?
Leave a separate comment letting me know how you found my blog and how long you've been reading it!
NEW UPDATE: To enter the giveaway, leave all your comments below. Do NOT email me. Thank you!
**Please remember, I will announce the winners at 6pm EST on 12/17 (tomorrow). If you see that you are a winner, you will need to email me directly (hip2savexmasgiveaway@yahoo.com), so that I can get your contact info and Amazon.com order. I will NOT be emailing the winners.
GOOD LUCK!

I have been subscribing since mid-summer 2009. I was in Target and a lady saw all my coupons. We started chatting and she said this was a great site for deals and information. While I still frequent a paid refunding site, I really like Hip2Save for all it has to offer!
I'm thankfully we'll be able to see my family after all at christmas!
I am thankful this year to be healthy and have my family. This year has been a rough year for many. I am happy that I am still employed and also that hip2save has saved me many dollars in this tough economy. Thank you!
I'm email subscribed. And forgot to add in the previous post we're in Illinois :D
Hello I found your blog by word of mouth from another site .
I am Angie from Maryland and this is a great giveaway and LOVE that it is helping needy children.
I'm thankful for my husband and 3 children.
Nicole
Bluffton, Indiana
I started reading your blog this summer and found it through some references on a forum I'm on!
i read an article on msn.com about blogs like hip2save and soon became addicted to a few that I check everyday!
I'm thankful for my husband living out his dream as a deputy, my 3 children, and coupons that have helped me continue being a SAHM.
Erin - Danielsville, GA
Like many others, I am thankful for the health of all my children, my husband and myself.

In April of this year, I heard about Nicole’s Nickels on a local radio station here in south Florida. While viewing that website I “stumbled” upon a link to It’s Hip 2 Save. Well, after a couple of days, I never went back to Nicole’s Nickels because I was hooked on It’s Hip 2 Save! I check the sight 10-12 times a day. I have always been somewhat thrifty, but I can’t believe all of the money that Collin has helped me save! The regular prices that drugstores & grocery stores charge is truly outrageous. Since I can’t possibly use all of the great items that I get while I am out shopping, I am very thankful (and happy) to have been able to donate a lot of items to charities like “Little Sisters of the Poor” (Pittsburgh, PA), “Toys for Tots” & “Food for Families” (Palm Beach County, FL). I intend to find a local food bank that will welcome a lot of donations from me in 2010. I can’t believe how much money I have been “wasting”! Keep up the good work Collin!

I am thankful for my son and my familys health. I have been watching a local 2 year old boy and his family struggle with cancer. He has days left to live and all he wanted to see was christmas lights. So our entire city and surrounding areas have all put up their lights in October to honor him. They are a blessing and they made me realize how thankful we are for just our health. Her motto is cherish every moment.
