I like the idea of a Christmas scavenger hunt in which the winner has to search the web (or your videos) for clues to enter for each day's prize - and keep track of a series of clues for a grand prize at the end.
I like the idea of Visa Gift cards + 12 Days of Xmas Theme but with a minor scavenger hunt with a triva questions. Have some Xmas items, music, + DVDs in your video. Ask a triva question about the items/music/dvds. ex 01: Who did the Grinch impersonate on Xmas Eve? Music ex 02: What are the names of 2 Xmas carols that contain Holly or bells in them? Ex 03: Name 3 shapes used for baking Xmas cookies? Ex 04: What 4 decorations that you put on your tree year after year? *(shorthand used to fit)
How bout climbing denomination gift cards? You could start off a week giving a $25 Amazon, Visa, or store gift cards, like Macy's, JC Penny, Kohls, ect..Then on subsequent days go up by $1, or $5, or even $10 a day. You could have one of the days be a mystery day, where no one knows what it is or how much. You could give clues and people could try to guess.
help the need. not give them money, but shoot a video of you guys helping kids without presents this year, help at a homeless facility to serve food, or just whoever needs help in these trying times. but than again, its totally up to you!
I like the 12 days of Christmas, but why not make each prize a little larger than the day before and end up with a really super prize like an iPad or $500 Visa card.
How about you make fun crafty decorations for the holiday and send that to the winners (along with the gift cards of course). The only rule being that they would have to be clean and non offensive. ;-)
Have people submit Christmas themed photos or holiday themed photos and have everyone vote on their favorite. Then the winner can choose a charity to give their prize to or something like that.
Well, I don't have any great ideas for Christmas... maybe a take off on the song with the partridge/pear tree? Hope your ride home is much less eventful!
How about the week before christmas have the normal giveaways but also one grand prize that you can win on christmas. You earn entries into the grand prize all week long.
maybe a theme like "electronics" for like ipod shuffles or zunes or apple giftcards or "entertainment" where you can give away regal cinemaa/itunes giftcards
and as a christmas special, you should make it so that people can comment as many times as they like so they can increase their chances of winning
Still do the 12 days but double the prize or make it increasingly larger until the last day. Perhaps on that day make it two prizes, one for the winner and one for charity.
Maybe a gift for women one day, a gift card to Victoria Secret or something similar, a day for men - a sporting good store gift card, a day for children - gift card for e-games or toy store, a day for the family, a gift card for a restaurant. You could repeat this as often as you like.
I liked Rapidfire79 comment - Maybe the first day you have 12 smaller prizes, the second day 11 slightly bigger prizes, etc until the last day when you have the biggest prize
Hmmm that's tough.. I mean, certainly christmas themed videos, but maybe do numerous smaller giveaways? Have lots of winners so people feel more 'christmas spirit'?
I like graywolfpack5's suggestion of 12 days of Christmas only I'd change it a bit to say every day, someone wins a prize and at the end of the 12 days, everyone who has entered each of the 12 days is eligible for the grand prize which is every prize given away during the 12 days. And if each prize was worth $100 or more ... wow ... we'd all be scrambling!
Impressed you can walk and shoot video at the same time! ;) I love the 12 days of Christmas idea but you're already giving prizes away every day now so not sure what to suggest. Maybe smaller prizes for more people so more people could be happier or share more with others at Christmas.. As always, thanks for your generosity!
A different twist on the 12 days of Christmas, except each day you reveal a new prize and at the end of the 12 days one winner wins all 12 prizes! How awesome would that be?
I'm not sure, I'd like to suggest something that would benefit others (like donations to Salvation Army, etc.) but I don't think it would be popular with everyone else. Maybe gift cards for things like iTunes, or Toys R Us that people can use to help with their Christmas shopping?
That's a tough question. Perhaps you could do a kind of scavenger hunt giveaway with Christmas themes. I didn't think through any details so not sure it would work for you but it's all I can think of right now...
There have been an number of great ideas already. I like the charity match and the 2 gift cards, one to give to a friend or the list of gifts to choose from. I am sure whatever you choose to do will be wonderful.
Maybe don't assign a prize to each giveaway, and let the winner choose from a list of prizes? I also love the idea mentioned by a few people below about splitting with a charitable donation.
This might not be a popular idea, but how about half-ing the giveaway prize and giving the other half to the winner's charity of choice? I think that would really embody the Christmas spirit! =)
How about a giveaway in honor of St. Nicholas Day on December 6. The 12 days of Christmas giveaways always irk me, because sponsors are always doing them before Christmas when the 12 Days of Christmas starts after Christmas day.
I also like that Christmas mystery idea, cool, yeah like an advent calendar thing. Then again, something like a big and a little prize, like stocking stuffers.
Please give it to me cause i cant buy one :\
