Giveaways and Blogiversaries

About a month or so ago there was a wave of posts from people hitting their 100th posts which made me look at my own body count and low and behold I was almost at 800. I've also been thinking of doing some kind of giveaway since everybody else is doing it and I'm as much of a lemming as everybody else. But give away what? You ever pull up somebody else's blog and they're all 'oh, such and such a company asked me to do this,' blah blah blah and you're all, gah! why doesn't some company give me stuff to try out or give away? Well you shouldn't be so petty. Ha! Anyways, as fate would have it, lucky 800 has landed me some schwag to share. The exceptionally patient Drew over at EdenFantasys.com emailed me and invited me to do a giveaway or product review if I was interested. You're a fan of Petra's? Yes, that Drew.


Hey! Don't leave yet! Yes, you. Hand off the mouse. Stick around and hear me out. I have to admit that I was a little intimidated by this at first too. I mean, it's one thing for Petra to do this, but a daddy blogger promoting adult toys? A daddy blogger whose mom and sister read his blog? But then I thought, what the hell, I'll bet I'm the first daddy blogger to do it. And what are envelopes for if not for pushing?

As for reviews? Uh, most of my readers are female, so I don't think we're going down that road. And seriously, my mom reads this. And giving away an actual product? Why don't we get to know each other a little better first. A gift code though, that I can do. Baby steps. And for anybody out there dumb like me a gift code is like an on-line gift card (thanks Drew!). *pause* Oh, so it was just me. Anyway, a $50 gift code (card) to Eden Fantasys to spend however you like, no questions asked.

So here's the deal. Comment and you get an entry, tweet about the giveaway and let me know you did and you get two entries for that. Deal? And just in case you're still a little hesitant at this point, I'll email you first if you win and give you the option of being an anonymous winner. I know, I'm caring and understanding.

Guys, I want you in on this too. First off, there's lots of, uh... interesting stuff there for us. Second, you know your Valentine's gift sucked, so here's a second chance to get your someone special something special. Or maybe let them pick. Whatever, that's your thing.

Even if you don't want to play go check out Eden Fantasys, they've got a nice site and it's not just about the toys. They've got a new section called SexIs that's full of information, interviews, articles on sexual health & well-being and buyers guides. And Drew says if you make a comment on something you saw in there you get 3 entries. All good friends.

So there you go, 800 posts and a sex toy giveaway. Was it good for you? Contest is open until Friday the... 3rd? It's April already? How did that happen? April 3rd.

And if you're interested in some more giveaways, Megan over at Embellished Truth and Polite Fiction has another Eden Fantasys giveaway, but her's is the Enchanted Evening Sensual Lover's Kit. Good times. Now get out of here. Tell your friends and neighbours.

  4. Huh, not what I was expecting today but okay. I love the way you describe the code giveaway and how that came about (I don't think I could ever post something like this and my mom doesn't even read my blog). Really, I mean that platonically so don't go getting confused anyone.

    Good luck and happy 800 posts!

  8. Congratulations on your 800th post! Wow! I've got a lot of catching up to do! Yours, Captain, was one of the first blogs I actually fell in love with. Not YOU...your blog...Dumbass! :)

    ps - Shut up! you wish!

  10. I think that I should automatically win because I'm menopausal and need all the help that I can get!! Is it okay to offer a bribe?? Like, I would sent you some extra fancy M&M's for that sweet lil girl holding that "will potty for M&M's" sign. I maybe there is something more interesting that I could sweeten the pot with?????
    Why, I do believe that all this talk of Eden's has made me blush Captain and I need a litttle lie down.......
    Hope your weekend is filled with much love, joy and laughter and....

    Steady On

  48. I'd definitely love fifty bucks to spend there. It would certainly be a first for me.
    I'm having a giveaway for kitchen gadgets that could possibly be used in comination with...oh nevermind.

    ReplyDelete
  49. You rock the giveaway like a pro Cap'n. And thanks for the shout-out! I am glad that Drew is expanding his horizons to the Daddy blogger community, cause there are plenty of things for you guys to enjoy there as well. Fleshlight anyone?

    OK, I am going to disqualify myself so don't enter me into the giveaway. It wouldn't be fair if I win, cause I get all kinds of cool swag from them as it is. So give my entry to the next person to comment, how's that? Am I great or what?

    ReplyDelete
  50. what an awesome contest idea! who doesn't love sex toys?

    ReplyDelete
  51. Oh, I just noticed that Drew said I'll get 3 entries if I make a comment on something I saw there. Well, I saw they're selling the Wedge like the one featured in Burn After Reading! Funny movie!

    ReplyDelete
  52. HAH ... I tweeted and I'm commenting. WOOT! Only because I have an ... erm ... item that may need to be replaced soon. Ahhh the life of the single woman. Sooo intriguing!

    He he he!

    blessings!

    ReplyDelete
  53. Oh, oh, oh! Baby, oh, oh, oh! Enter me . . . oh, oh, oh, in the . . . oh, oh, oh . . . contest!

    Does that count at two?

    ReplyDelete
  54. Who knew starting a blog would provide me with so many opportunities to stock up on vibrators? Awesome! Those bad boys are *expensive*.

    ReplyDelete
  55. Good for you for going for the sex toy, oops - gift code/card giveaway! If I win I totally can't blog about it because my parents read my blog. And that would be a bit much for my Dad!

    And happy 800th!

    ReplyDelete

    Oh, and this is my official entry into this highly esteemed contest!

  59. Ok, count me in. Because, frankly, my Valentines gift did suck. I thought everyone liked cash.
