Thankful Thursday: Winning Online Giveaways from The Binondo Mommy and Ice Cream and Chocolates PH

Who loves free stuff? I do! I love joining online contests and giveaways. For my first #ThankfulThursday post, I'd like to share two of the most recent giveaways I won.

Cheese Pimiento Spread by Tita Vickie's

I won this through a giveaway hosted by Sally of The Binondo Mommy. I discovered her blog when I was googling Caridad Bears and I had been following her since. At the time, she was celebrating the blog's 1st year anniversary and was giving away tons of prices. I think I was one of the last entries.

It had been a few weeks since she she sent me a message that I won the raffle. I was supposed to contact Tita Vickie directly to arrange how I will get my price but I just kept on forgetting. I finally remembered last Tuesday and sent an SMS to Tita Vickie. Tita Vickie's spreads are freshly made to order so we agreed to meetup today. Boy was I too grateful. She gave me a big tub of the yummiest, creamiest, tastiest Cheese Pimiento. There was also a bonus small tub of the wonderfully spicy Tuna Spread. Yum!

  

P500 Store Credit to Cudsly

When I was pregnant, I learned the convenience of online shopping. Cudsly is one of the most trusted baby online shops and I had always been a fan. The shop has some unique items I don't find on other online stores. When Em of Ice Cream and Chocolates PH hosted a giveaway for P500 shopping credits for Cudsly, I immediately joined. The timing couldn't be more perfect when she announced the winner since we were running low on diapers and snacks.

Within a few minutes of getting the shopping code, I had my order confirmed. My total exceeded the credit I got. I usually prefer to pay with PayPal or BPI Mobile Transfer. I decided I'd try Cash on Delivery for the first time. After 3 business days, the package arrived. Im guessing it could have been sooner if not for tropical storm Mario causing delays with everything. I settled my balance with no hassle at all. It's just like buying from the supermarket except i did not have to brave the traffic of the metro.

Oh, we also got more freebies too. There were small sachets of MD Moms products. I had always been wanting to try them so I wonder how they've read my mind. We got three boxes of Baby MumMum from Cudsly so I decided to share them to Mila's cousin. Best way to show gratitude is to share your blessings, right?

   

Two weeks supply of Diapers and Snacks

There are too many things in the world I don't have. I just have to look at what I got and I clearly see I am blessed. With so many things to be thankful for, big or small, it's good to always pay it forward. Maybe next time I'll be hosting my own giveaway too.
