More than $39,000 in prizes in our annual 12 Days of Giveaways
UPDATE: Here’s The Nice List of winners!
The most wonderful time of the year is back – and we’re making it even better with our annual 12 Days of Giveaways!
Most people are celebrating something festive over the next month, so whether you’re wishing everyone a Merry Christmas, Felix Navidad, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Holidays, or even bah humbug, you’ll have something to cheer about.
Our inaugural 12 Days of Giveaways campaign was launched in Vancouver in 2010 as a way to give back to our readers, and since then we’ve continued to give more and more.
The first 12 Days gave away $3,000 in prizes, and by 2015 we had increased the total to more than $20,000. This year, we’re raising the bar higher than ever before and are giving away more than $39,000 in prizes!
How it works
Starting on December 1, we’ll be launching a number of different contests each day. Every giveaway will run until 11:59 pm PST on December 15. Then, over the couple days after that, we’ll randomly draw names from all the entries to announce the winners in one major post on December 18.
There will be something for everyone to be won: snazzy shoes, coffee for a year, new tech, staycations, and much more.
Some giveaways will be available to everyone reading Daily Hive, while others are for specific cities only.
