Simply The Best Birthday Gift Contest!






My beloved wife whom I love so much, is going to have her birthday this coming September and to celebrate it I decided to have a contest. By the way, this is the first time I am conducting an online contest. All I need is to have the best and most simple birthday gift to my beloved wife.

Okay, here are a few pointers for the ideal gift:
  • We can't go out of the country.
  • We can't go out of town.
  • We have a child that is so cute and cuddly - a 4 year old boy named Ize.
  • Money is no object - hope I could say that but due to our tight budget and my company crisis, I would like to make it simple yet the best gift ever. Don't worry much about the budget - I already have a budget and I could add a few bucks
  • There are no wrong answers here - I just need ideas.
  • In case you need to know the age to base the idea, she is turning 33.
How to join:
  • Blog about this contest along with your answer. Your answer should be the first thing to see in the entry and then the details of this contest.
  • Grab the banner code above and put it on your site's sidebar.
  • Follow our XLEONTIPS blog through Google Connect.
  • Add XLEONTIPS and our major sponsors to your blogroll. (NOTE: Please don't use a NoFollow link, the link should be a DoFollow link. If you don't know what this means, it's okay because by defaul it is a DoFollow link once you made a link.)
  • Subscribe to our Feeds.
  • Go back here and inform us of your entry.
  • Make a review of our major sponsors (at least 100 words) and post the link of the review here or to the major sponsor's list..
  • Please post who referred you to this contest along with the link to your Birtday Gift Idea.

    8. Hi Noel. Would like to sponsor $5 and 1 month ad space in my PR3 blog http://stay-at-home-blessings.blogspot.com. I have just 1 concern - can I send you the money through AlertPay and not Paypal?

      ReplyDelete
    9. @jules67 - thanks for joining - the more the merrier.

      @Chin chin - thanks, you have been added as one of the major sponsor.

      ReplyDelete
    10. Hi. Glad to be a sponsor. Let me know your AlertPay email account and I'll send the money ASAP?

    12. @eric - what will you be sponsoring? Ad Space, cash or goods?

      ReplyDelete
    13. Sent the cash today but I forgot to put some notes that it is for this contest's sponsorship. Let me know if you received it. About PS, I have 80 refs right now up to 3 levels. However, I'm thinking how much the site will be valuable to members residing in the Philippines. My referrals from the Philippines have not been receiving revenue share for 2 months now. Hmmm???

      ReplyDelete
    15. @chinchin - thanks, I have received it already. I'll join your referral soon after this week coz I am quite busy right now. I want to concentrate on reading about it before I join.

      @eric - thanks again and to your wife as well for the support. However, I am not quite sure of the prize you sponsored - is it 3000EC per domain or I'll divide the 3000EC to 4 domains? Sorry, I don't want to post a wrong info so I try to make it clear.

      ReplyDelete
    24. @Mys - I don't actually have any preference on that but for the benefit of those sponsors, I think it's best to have one article per review. Thanks.
