Leaving a comment here will enter you for a chance to win a $50 gift card to Amazon. I kid you not.
Last month, I left a comment on the blog of a friend who claimed that someone named the Fairy Hobmother had just gifted her with a voucher to Amazon for $50. Just for leaving a comment on someone's blog.
So I entered my wish. And then I completely forgot about it.
Just the other day, I received a lovely e-mail from the Appliance Online Fairy Hobmother who told me that my comment had entitled me to win an Amazon gift card in the amount of $50 and asked if I could spread the word.
I promptly went to Amazon.com and purchased some books. But you can buy anything you want.
So what is it that you wish for?
All you have to do is leave a comment here and tell me what you would buy if you were to win.
This Fairy Hobmother must be a very nice person.
Good luck ~

A metal detector to find & dig up every bit of treasure all around me, just waiting to be discovered!
I would look for a new bedspread. How amazing is this Fairyhob Mother! I love it!
I'd buy some books I have waiting on my wishlist. Or a pink tool kit so I can find a screwdriver or hammer when I need one. ( Keeping tools organized....not one of my husbands better traits.)
Hmm...I'd probably try to beef up my library of Bible study books and missionary biographies...and maybe toss in a couple fun fictions! :D Random, I know, but these have been on my list for a while.
Dear Fairyhob Mother; I wish I had a pretty rug for in front of my kitchen sink :)

Oh, I'd finally be abe to buy more "bee" glasses! I read about them here awhile ago and bought a set of six. Love to buy another size!

I wish for a cute apron and an America's test kitchen cookbook! And more time so that I can actually cook from it. *Sigh*
I wouldn't know WHERE to begin... and I would hope that the $50 wasn't all soaked up in postage to Australia!!!
Seriously though... camera stuff. But you already knew that.
:-)

I don't even know...I'd probably give it to my son for his birthday and let him buy something for himself.
I would find something cool for Little Britches....being the sweet Oma I am....
New sheets; really high thread count ones! Ahh, wouldn't they feel good every night??
BOOKS! You can never have too many.
books, books, books - few things excite me more than a good book!
I would buy more Many Lives, Many Masters books to spread around. They need to be....
While I always enjoy a good book, I think some more camera equipment would be nice!
I would put it towards buying one of the E-Readers out there. I am coveting one of those ever since my friend got one for herself. I could load it up with all kinds of books and always have something to read!!
I have many things on my wish list, but mostly books!
let me think....50 dollars from amazon.....hmmmm, i think i would put it towards a new camera bag....my birthday is sunday and i think giving myself a gift is perfectly okay.....that is okay, right :)
I think new pillows for my RV couches.
I think new pillows for my RV couches.
I just got myself a rotary cutter so I'd buy some of those big quilting rulers to go with it!
I'd buy some books for fun and for my children! It would be a real treat for us in my extra-tight-post-vacation-month budget!
books (children's to be clear) and movies. I have the Rudyard Kipling Just So Stories in my wish list. Most of the stuff is for my kid, but I would be sure I put in something for me :)
Books, books, and more books!! Congratulations on winning I hope I am as lucky!
Most definitely a camera accessory. Bought my first DSLR this year and what a world this has opened for me. Thank you for the opportunity!
Books. Can't get enough of them!

Awesome!

Thank you Fairy Hobmother.. I would buy something for my grandson, Ben. He has a WII game and he wants Mario Kart for his Wii. His birthday is in November.. Just the perfect gift for him.
Have a Tiggeriffic Day~! ta ta for now from Annie
I probably need to buy tape for all the boxes we're packing for our move across the country.
Seriously - cd's and dvd's for the van ride for the kids - even better.
Mmm. Hard to decide but would be able to spend that $50 in a flash!! Books seem to be a top vote. I am a beginner quilter, bet I could find some quilting books &/or tools!
Oh, now that's hard. A new lens for my camera? Jewlery Armoire? Books? Pressure Canner? It would take a little more thought, but one of those things.
I would buy a humane trap to donate to a woman who tries to save cats & kittens by herself in an awful neighborhood in NY. You know, if I don't win...I'm going to buy it for her anyway.
Real books, of course!
Cookbooks for sure. love your blog!
maybe a kindle or some things for my grandkids, or maybe something for the bedroom.
oooo!
Pick me! Pick ME!!!!

I was just thinking about going shopping for cute backpacks for my grandchildren...one is going into the first grade and the youngest is going to preschool for the first time. And I would fill them with books if I had money leftover:) How fun Kate!
I was just on Amazon earlier today looking at some animal action figure sets that my 3 year old granddaughter would love to play with!
I would buy a couple CDs- probably Chris Botti, because I love mellow jazz, and maybe a CD that would take me back to high school, James Taylor or Neil Young :)
Books I think, just lovely books..

Oh Fairy Hobmother and Country Girl, I would probably buy more Kindle books! Or maybe some Sanuks! Or maybe some K-Cups! Or....... gosh, I would have a great time deciding!
I really need a new skillet mine is old and the Teflon is scratched and I know that can't be a good thing!
Books starting with the George R R Martin box set. Fingers crossed!!!
Ohhhh I could easily spend that up on books!
I would use $50 from Amazon to buy that new Henning Mankell book....Kurt Wallender mystery - and the end of the line....boohoo....
I was told that Fairy Hobmother is a guy .. a guy who keeps ignoring my selfless wishes for things like a coffeemaker or even a new lens (no thanks to him but I got one from my husband) ...
I would purchase Scott Kelby's Lightroom 3 book and a 5 in one reflector. Thanks for the opportunity!
I would buy some books for my kindle! I'm going on vacation soon, so it would be great to get some new reads!
I have a TON of books on my wish list so I'll probably get some of those...although I also have a Kenmore vacuum cleaner that I may put it toward that!! Thanks for this chance!
i don't even know what i would buy, but i'd love to win so i can go find whatever it is!!!!
Definitely a few of the books on my want list!
I want "The backyard beekeeper". I was gonna buy it the other day, but the $25 sticker was the killer.
And that would leave enough for a something else on my wish list!
A coffee percolator. We have a modern coffee maker but i find that the flavor is not as rich and have been salivating thinking of the coffee my husband's grandmother serves from her coffee percolator. YUMMMMM
Without a doubt, books.
I would buy something to dress up my bedroom. Thanks!
Congratulations! I'm a big book lover, so I think I'd buy some books, too. I wonder if it works with Kindle?

Ooh, a dress. After living for the past few years since having four kids feeling frumpy in whatever I could find that fit, I finally bought two dresses this past weekend (that I of course couldn't afford). But I look pretty again! Would love to accrue a couple more someday. :)
I would buy some quilting books I've been wishing for.
Kate, I love your blog and George and I love how you love your DH.

A book or two or three. Something off my Amazon wishlist.
i was browsing on amazon earlier today and debating with myself whether i should buy it now or later. i have been looking for a lovely juniper bonsai for a dear friend, and i liked the ones that amazon had, so if i won this, that is what i would get. pick me? pretty please?
Books! I have a whole list that I am working my way through...
:)
xbox games for my granddaughter!!!
Hope I'm not commenting too late.
Something nice for my house or yard - unexpected and frivolous. Or something fun for my horse. Or probably something for my kids….
I just bought some things on Amazon, but I know there was something that I hadn't thought to get. And of course, now I can't remember again. I could always use more books though!
Oh! What a lovely give a way! I'd take books. What a treat!
Books...one of my favorite "buys" on Amazon....or put it towards a new heart rate monitor...or...or....so many possibilities!!!!
I think I'd buy some DVDs. I'm a librarian and I love books--but I like using the library more than purchasing. DVDs though...I could rewatch great TV or movies any day of the week!
Books, books and more books!~ It's nice to believe in Fairy Godmothers...
I would use it towards a Kindle! I have been wishing for one for a long time.
BTW I truly enjoy your blog. You are one of my daily reads.
I would buy some baking items, you can never have too many of those....
Books or maybe music cd's
Travel books! I love to be prepared when we travel abroad.
I think I would save it and purchase some items for Christmas. I can't believe I'm saying that in August....but now is the time I start buying a few gifts a month so I'm not strapped in December!

Books or I might put it towards a Kindle for myself. My son has one and loves it!
Sounds crazy but I would buy a water bath canner and some jars so I can make pickles....you see, I took all of mine to GoodWill several years ago when we sold our old place. We are gone for four months during the summer anyway, so no opportunity. But, this summer we came home 2 months early and both want some of my "Cherry Dill" pickles and some "Bread and Butter" pickles...so, I need to resupply my canning goods!!
I would buy a couple of books I have been wanting, and something fun for my grand daughter! :-)
What a nice Fairy Hobmother!
Martha

Oh, I would buy books, definitely. Can't get too many books.
I know it's boring, but I'd love a new pair of tennis shoes for walking!! .... Anything to motivate me to get moving!
I just enjoyed reading what everyone wishes for. It made me feel good to read that. Anyway, I'm in need of a new french press for my coffee. You gotta have coffee.
I would buy a text book for my daughter who's in college.
Books!! I love books. And I love to buy them for children and send them to Rosebud Reservation. If I won $50 I'd probably use it for the kids, because I have access to books at my own sister's bookstore. It would be such fun to spend $50 on books for kids!!
Another book or two, I'm sure. And I don't have room for the ones I have!
I love Christmas shopping on Amazon, they have the best deals, so I would probably shop for a Christmas present, more than likely, a dvd for my daughter. Thanks for the chance to win!
Isn't it sweet to have a Fairy Hobmother!
I wish for a new DSLR camera to keep on photographing the amazing nature in Norway, and to share the beauty with my blogging friends!

As always I have a huge wish list of books for my Kindle. So that is what I'd wish for!!
I would love the book on Vera Neumann. Also a new melon knife.
Thank you.
Books or the egg cooker thing that boils eggs without having to shell them.
I would love a riding helmet but I don't think they can be bought for that.
I've been a reading fool. Books, books, books.
We are always looking at something on Amazon. My college student gets a lot of textbooks from them.

Some of my favorite books for my new grandbaby-to-be. I just found out I am going to be a grandmother today!
I would buy books for my girls. My oldest starts school this year and I have a list of short chapter books I want to start reading to her/with her.
One of my favorite memories growing up was making fun homemade ice cream flavors with my mama. Now that I have moved back home, the ice cream maker is gone but I would love to buy a kitchenaid ice cream maker attachment so that we can start making those memories again!
I would buy photography what-not....books to learn me, or chotchkies to assist in my photographic journey's...either would be great :) thanks for the opportunity!
Katye
Congratulations to you! This sounds too good to be true. I would like to buy a book by Scott Kelby to help me learn more about LightRoom. There should be enough leftover to buy some ink for my Epson printer which I recently bought from Amazon. Nancy
