Over $40,000 in prizes up for grabs in our 13th annual 12 Days of Giveaways

Holy smokes, what a year 2023 has been.

Between rising inflation and interest rates and the escalating cost of groceries and living in general, it can feel like there’s been nothing but bad news lately for our pocketbooks.

We here at Daily Hive would like to change that and bring some holiday cheer into the Christmas season.

For the 13th anniversary of our epic 12 Days of Giveaways, we want to spread joy by letting our readers have the chance to win some incredible prizes.

From luxury hotel stays to gift cards for your favourite stores and experiences at the hottest restaurants in your city, every day brings a new chance to win.

Since starting in 2010, back when we were Vancity Buzz, we gave away $3,000 in prizes. It was meant to be a small token of our appreciation for our growing community of readers. But now we have grown in leaps and bounds — and so has our prizing.

This year, we are giving away more than $40,000 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 PT on December 15. Then, in the days following, we’ll randomly draw names from all the entries to announce the winners in one major post on December 20.

This year, rather than entering via our Instagram, a brand-new website has been created solely for the 12 Days of Giveaways. Simply visit the site, check out the prizes of the day, and enter for your chance to win by providing your first name, last name, and email. Easy breezy.

There will be something for everyone to win: luxurious staycations, fitness packages, gift cards to beloved brands like Salt Spring Coffee, DUER, and more.

Some giveaways will be available to everyone reading Daily Hive across the country, while others are for specific cities only, so make sure you know which city the contest is for.

What you need to do 

We’ll be updating the 12 Days of Giveaways website each day with new contests, so bookmark it and come back and visit the site daily from December 1 to 12 to see what new giveaways we’ve launched. We’ll also be promoting the contest on Twitter and Instagram, so follow the hashtag #DH12Days to make sure you don’t miss a beat!
