It’s been an exciting year for myself as I’ve been seriously delving into the world of blogging. I now have two blogs I consistently update (girlrobot.net and qeeper.com). Anyways, it’s been really cool watching my blogs grow, getting to know other bloggers, and finding people that actually like what I write! It’s a pretty time consuming process, but one I really enjoy. To help grow the readership and to show my appreciation for current readers, I wanted to start my first ever giveaway! I debated on several things to give away but I finally settled on something that I would love to receive and I think most others could enjoy as well. Since I live in Los Angeles and am close to a lot of asian stores, I have a great selection of Asian snacks to choose from. So the prize will be:

A variety box of Asian/Japanese candy and snacks (including but not limited to pocky sticks, rice crackers, japanese gummy candy and other unusual japanese candy, etc)!!! I will also throw in some of my favorite candy ever, those Ikea gummy cars I posted about awhile ago haha.

I promise, if you enjoy trying new food….I won’t disappoint!

Basically, it will be a box similar to these (as taken from the Snacks From Around the World community):

So what do you need to do to win this thing??
Well there are 4 easy ways. You can even do all 4 of them for a total of 6 entries (two are worth 2 entries)! I’ll start with the easiest one.

1. Use my contact form and tell me what you like/don’t like about my blog(s). Or if even that is too much for you, just tell me you’d like to enter my giveaway hehe. Please be sure to leave your REAL email address since if you don’t, I have no way of contacting you if you win! Also, please use giveaway for the subject. Worth 1 entry.

2. Add me to your blogroll or links page. Usually I can see from my incoming links if you’ve linked to me but to be sure you’ll probably want to email me with the URL where you’ve placed the link. Worth 1 entry.

3. Subscribe to my RSS feed. I recommend using Google Reader. Over the next couple of weeks, I will display a special word at the bottom of my RSS posts. Just email me what the word is. You can use my contact form, email me at kim at girlrobot dot net, or even aim me at dustofconfusion. Worth 2 entries.

4. Make a blog post about one or both of my blogs: girlrobot.net and/or qeeper.com. You can write a full on review or even just a short line like “Check out these cool blogs I’ve been reading (insert girlrobot.net and/or qeeper.com)”. Worth 2 entries.

Easy, huh? Again, if you do 1-4, you’ll have a total of 6 entries submitted in my giveaway. Or if you only want to do 1, that’s fine too!

Contest ends December 16th so get your entries in! :)

PS. I will be using a random number generator to pick the winner.
PSS. I don’t know how many people will actually join this giveaway but you probably have a really good chance of winning if you enter! :)
