FREE BENTO GIVEAWAY

87 comments


Hi everyone! I would like to 'announce' that my humble blog has managed to get over 100,000 clicks since yesterday :D). For some bloggers 100,000 is not a big number, but considering the fact that I have not been the most active blogger in the world (I've only been rather active since I've started making bento ;)), I am very very happy to reach this number and to know that there are indeed people who are interested to see my creations :). That's why I would like to use this chance to say thank you to everyone who has been reading, commenting and supporting me throughout my journey as a blogger. As a token of appreciation to you all, I've prepared two bento sets to give away. CasaBento, a French-based bento online store, has very kindly offered to sponsor me and has chosen 4 new products from their bento shop: a bento box, a pair of pink chopsticks, a set of animal food picks and an onigiri mold.

There will be two winners, the first winner will get SET A and the second winner will get SET B. Scroll down to find out how to win these.



SET A
  • 1 Shokuiko Bento Box (Colour: red, Capacity: 600 ml) plus a matching kinchaku bag
  • A pair of pink chopsticks from Yellow Studio


SET B
  • 15 Animal Food Picks
  • 1 Onigiri mold


HOW TO ENTER
  • If you own a blog: Leave a comment on this page and simply tell me where you come from and tell me what you like best from my site (or maybe what I should improve as well :)).
  • If you don't own a blog: you can e-mail me instead (Cookinggallery@yahoo.de) and state that you want to enter the giveaway (since I am still using an old fashioned comment system, I cannot see your e-mail address in my blog, so if you leave a comment on this page without leaving your e-mail address, I will not be able to contact you, in case that you win...).
You can also do one of the following, or all to increase your chance to win:
The competition is open to EVERYONE and ends at midnight GMT+1 on the 31st May 2011.

Two winners will be selected using Random.org and will be contacted through their blog or via e-mail. CasaBento will send the bento sets and no shipping cost will be charged.


I hope a lot of people can participate. Please spread the love...:D)!!!

This giveaway has ended. The two lucky winners will be announced shortly :).

UPDATE

The two lucky winners are.....*roll drums* ;): Mieke (first winner) from the Netherlands and Lyn Trinix from Singapore (second winner) :D)!

Winners, you'll be contacted shortly, you'll have to provide me with your address so that CasaBento can send you the prize :).

  4. Congratulations CG! 100,000 is a lot! @_@ I'm so happy for you! What I love about your site is...1) I get excited before I open your site to see what kind of bento you cook, 2) Your pictures always surprise us TOO CUTE!, 3) I really appreciate your detail work and dedication to make bento. I came from bento culture and I really know how hard it is to do this, to pack in that small box. Cut nori into tiny pieces... seriously you should have a career with this (don't know how but you should!). I can go on but I'll stop since I don't want to occupy your comment space. LOL. Congrats again!

  77. WOW, GRATULATIONS to 100.000 Klicks! Phenomenal! But I think you deserve it. <3

    I came from my blog, because you left me a comment. :) But why you have an english blog? ;) And why am I writing english? q_q

    Oh my godess you make such beautyfull bento! *__________* I can't look away and will see all of them! Really really smashing! Maybe you can give some detailed recipes for your bento? ^^ And a little instruction of your blog in the header would be nice I think (Topic=Bento etc). ;)

    I am very happy to see your website and would like to take part on your great contest with all options I have (Facebook, GFC...). :D
    Now I am going to spread some love~ \^_^/

  78. Ah and of course... If you need anything from Düsseldorf you can tell me and I buy it for you?

    ReplyDelete
  79. @ Satsuki - Thanks for participating in this giveaway :)! I write in English because German is not my first language, I find it easier to write in English...;). But you can always comment in German if you wish, I do understand German :). I started this blog as a normal cooking blog, I just started making bento in February 2011, that's why the name of my blog has got nothing to do with bento (and I think it would be strange to change my blog's name now after almost 2 years of blogging...;)).

    I'll try to make more tutorials in the future, if you look under 'Labels', currently I have 5 tutorials available. I don't always have the time to photograph every single step I do while making my bento, but this is certainly something that I will do from time to time.

    That's very nice of you to offer doing some shopping for me in Düsseldorf ;). Probably one day we can do something like 'Tauschpaket' or so - vielleicht brauchts Du etwas von Wiesbaden ;).
