Mother’s Day Giveaway
(Note: this is a sticky post and will remain at the top of our site until May 13th. For all new posts please scroll down. PLEASE NOTE: Entries for all contests will be closed Sunday, May 13th at 12am Eastern. I will post the winners for all seven contests Mother’s Day morning, Sunday, May 13. So if you haven’t checked out all the contests, make sure you do now and make your comment before the end of Saturday night!)
For a site called 5 Minutes for Mom – what bigger day is there than Mother’s Day?!? I mean really – we couldn’t let YOUR day just slip by unnoticed! There has to be a celebration – a lavishing of gifts!
So we are having a Mother’s Day Giveaway featuring multiple contests with fantastic prizes!
Here is how it will work:
From now until Mother’s Day, we will be posting various contests. To enter the contests you just need to:
- Add a comment on the contests you want to enter. PLEASE note you need to comment at the individual contests so we know who wants to be entered. Commenting here is wonderful - thank you - but it will not win you the iPod or any of the other prizes. You need to enter each contest individually. So make sure you click over to the contest and leave your comment there.
- Either link back to this post and include a Mother’s Day Giveaway button in that post or on your sidebar (to get the code click on read more at the bottom of this post,) or link to the individual contests you choose to enter. (If you post and include the button, either in your post or on your sidebar, and link back here, you are good to go for all the contests. No more linking required.)
- As always, non bloggers are welcome to participate! We know you can’t link - but feel free to spread the word to your friends.
- Some contests will be open to Canadians. Please check individual contests. (The iPod Nano contest IS open to Canadians.)
Remember to keep checking back for the latest contests – you don’t want to miss any! We will be posting several in the next ten days.
Click on each of the links below to enter each contest:
PLEASE REMEMBER: You need to click over and comment on each contest you want to enter. We will be linking to all of the contests in this post and we need to know who wants to be entered in WHAT contest. Remember you can enter in as many of the upcoming contests as you want. And please only comment once on each post so that everyone has a fair chance. If for some reason you need to comment again - like you left an incorrect email or link, just note that in the comment and I will remove the first comment. Thanks!
- We start off with a bang – the first contest is for Best Buy’s Special Mother’s Day Apple iPod Nano and Chocolate Gift Set! YES – you heard me right! We are giving away a 4GB Apple iPod Nano! (Open to Canadians!)
- Our second contest is for a beautifully handmade Mei Tai baby carrier made by Jenn from All Natural Mommies. (Open to Canadians!)
- Our third contest is for a copy of “Hannah Keeley’s Total Mom Makeover - The Six Week Plan to Completely Transform Your Home, Health, Family, and Life.” You will be energized and transformed through Hannah’s realistic step-by-step approach to living a healthier, more balanced life. (Open to Canadians! AND we have an additional copy to give away. So there will be two winners for this contest!)
- Our fourth contest is for some fabulous jewelry made by Designing Diva. It is time to get spoiled Moms - and these pieces are beautiful! (Open to Canadians!)
- Our fifth contest is also for jewelry - a $40 (CDN) gift certificate to Alli’s Originals. (Alli is in Canada and this contest is open to both the US and Canada.)
- Our sixth contest is for a set of Mommy Cards from Fruition Designs. Cute and convenient - Mommy Cards make planning play dates or getting together for coffee easy. (This contest is open only to US shipping addresses.
- Our seventh and final contest is for a copy of Amy Knapp’s Family Organizing Handbook. With 314 quick to read tips, Amy will help get you and your household running smoothly!

I don’t see a link for the nano contest…Does posting on this thread count? I added the banner to my blog sidebar, too.
#5 - Janice @ 3:43 pm
gosh you guys are fast! I barely have refreshed the page and here you are!!! LOL
Make sure that you add your comment at the iPod contest AND all the other contests coming that you want to win.
We will be drawing the winners from the comments on the individual contests.
#6 - Janice @ 3:44 pm

#14 - Shash @ 4:04 pm

#15 - Janice @ 4:18 pm
oh my gosh - I have edited this post like ten times already! I keep stressing out that you all aren’t going to comment on the correct post to enter in each contest.
I am soooo sorry for this confusion!!! Because there will be multiple contests coming - and some of them are for items like baby carriers and jewelry, not everyone will want to enter in every single contest. SOOOO that is why I am running them separately, so only people who want the prizes win the prizes.
BUT I understand it is confusing - and my sincerest apologies for any misunderstandings.
#16 - jamie @ 4:33 pm
Love this and I just added the sidebar to my blog!
#17 - Janne @ 5:00 pm
We click on the iPod link to enter, right?
(Sorry, couldn’t resist. Take a deep breath, Janice. It will be alright.) (((HUGS)))

Hi, my name is Kris and I work with the Thymes, a line of naturally-derived bath & body products. I am posting a comment to help those of you still in need of the perfect Mother’s Day gift. This year, why not give Mom a gift that she can enjoy while spending time with the ones who make Mother’s Day so special?
Inspired by the naturally precious nature of newborns, the Sweetleaf Baby collection uses only the finest of ingredients found in nature to ensure baby’s precious skin is soothed and protected. The complete collection includes everything from a gentle, tear-free Baby Wash & Shampoo to a delightfully mild Baby Blanket Wash, to leave linens fresh with a lingering soft fragrance.
There are also exciting new extensions to the Sweetleaf Baby collection available just in “Thyme” for Mother’s Day including a Lip & Cheek Balm, a Gift Set, a Wash Cloth Set, a Reed Diffuser (for the nursery) and drawer liners.
Here is a direct link to the Thymes Sweetleaf Baby home page – I hope you will consider giving our “newest addition” to a new mom and her precious little one.
Thanks!
