This Giveaway is Closed. The winning suggestion comes from Caryn at Rockin’ Mama, who suggested:

My friends and I love to go to coffee shops. I am suggesting to Starbucks and Coffee Bean and Peets to maybe set up a small area (like a table) with some toys, books, etc. for the kids!

Congratulations Caryn!

Have you ever wished you could give suggestions to a company as to how they could improve? Let them know exactly what you don’t like or what you think they could do better? Some businesses have a “Suggestion Box” where you can drop in a piece of paper, but who KNOWS what happens to those, right? You want to be able to see the suggestion you’ve made and what the company’s response is, right? Well, you can! SuggestionBox.com is the online site where companies create their own virtual “Suggestion Box”. Here’s what Founder Jeff Whitton has to say about the site:

“SuggestionBox.com was founded on the principle that ‘the customer is always right’. While customers have great ideas and companies want to listen to what they have to say; there has never been a place where those ideas could easily be submitted and followed – from idea to implementation,” said Jeff Whitton, Founder of SuggestionBox.com. “The number of Suggesters and suggestions on SuggestionBox.com continue to grow daily. Suggesters have already created suggestion boxes for several hundred companies of all sizes, demonstrating an incredible interest in providing valuable insights to the companies they interact with on a daily basis.’’

You can view your own history of suggestions (click on My Suggestion tab, then My Suggestions again), but it’s up to the company if they want to make suggestions public and allow everyone to see them. In addition, every Suggester has the option to make his/her own suggestion private or public. To give you an idea of what it looks like, Addison Avenue is an example of a company that has made its suggestions public.

How to enter for the chance to win a $100 gas card:
- Visit www.suggestionbox.com and take a look around. There are Featured SuggestionBoxes as well as Popular Suggestions. You can vote for, comment on, and follow your favorite suggestions to see how the company is responding!
- Come back here and leave a comment with a REAL first name or blog alias, no keywords please, and tell me your suggestion to any company. If you could get a company to change something, what would it be?
– I’ll vote for the best suggestion and determine the winner! Who gets a $100 gas card! w00t!

Rules: You must use a real name and valid email address when leaving your comment. You must leave your suggestion in your comment as well. Comments that do not include a suggestion will not be counted towards the prize of a $100 gas card. Enter by Saturday, August 23, 2008 at 9:00 AM EST. The determination of the winner of this contest is solely up to me and my personal opinion. If there are several that I like equally, I will use random.org to choose a winner. I will then email the winner for their mailing address, if I don’t get a reply in three days, I’ll choose a new winner. Good luck everybody!!!

Although I am too busy during the day to watch them now, I used to be HOOKED on CBS Soaps. I started watching “Young and the Restless” with my Grandma Sullivan when I was in elementary school and would visit her during the summer, she called it her “story”, and there was NO TALKING during Grandma’s story. Starting in the 6th grade, I would come home from middle school just in time to watch the second half of “As the World Turns” and “Guiding Light”. On days when I stayed home sick, I indulged myself in the whole CBS lineup, starting with Y&R, then “Bold and the Beautiful”, then ATWT and Guiding Light. When I started my job at the Credit Union, we tuned into the CBS radio feed and listened at our desks, timing our lunch breaks so we could watch a solid hour on the lunchroom TV.

And now, thanks to SOAPnet, I can stay caught up on the characters and stories of my CBS “stories” any time I want! SOAPnet is more than just daytime TV, too, it’s been relaunched to include coverage of entertainment, stars, pop culture, beauty and fashion news in an “informed, engaging editorial style.” The SOAPnet channel shows not only daytime soaps, but also reruns of old shows like “Beverly Hills: 90210″ (so cheesy it’s cool again), and new shows like “Dirty Sexy Money” and “Pushing Daisies”. For each show you can click links for recaps, cast info, even message boards.

To celebrate the re-launch of SOAPnet.com, a very generous sponsor is offering some AWESOME reader giveaway prizes! Here’s what I have to give away to four VERY LUCKY winners:

A MARC JACOBS wallet!

I am just beyond thrilled that I was asked to promote this amazing giveaway from T-Mobile@Home! They created this gorgeous custom widget that you see at the end of this post, made it green to match my theme and everything, it’s so pretty! And why? Because T-Mobile is giving away HOUSES, people, HOUSES!! And, to help get my readers interested in entering the giveaway, they created this special widget just for me.

AND, my readers can enter to win 16 prizes, 14 daily ones and 2 weekly ones. My giveaway goes from now until July 23rd! This week my readers can win a $100 Home Improvement gift card, next week it’s a $100 T-Mobile gift card!

You know how you love your mobile phone because you can use it to send and receive text messages, take and display photos, play music, even record short video? Well, wouldn’t it be totally awesome if you could do that with your HOME PHONE? Home phones should be able to do everything a mobile phone does, that’s my opinion! T-Mobile wants to know what YOU think!

Look at the widget I’ve placed at the end of the post, see where it says “Chime in with your opinion and you’ll be entered for a chance to win a gift courtesy of T-Mobile”? Click the “win a gift” link to see all the great prizes that are being given away weekly and monthly. WOWSA!

Okay, so now that you know what you can win, HOW do you win? It’s Easy! Right there in that widget, see the question “What features from your mobile phone would you like on your home phone”? That’s my question! Enter your answer, your name, and your VALID EMAIL ADDRESS, seriously, make sure you double-check when you type in your email address because it would be awful if you won and they couldn’t contact you. These are prizes chosen specifically FOR YOU, my dear readers, so enter to win!

As if that wasn’t awesome enough, at the bottom of the widget, see the link to the T-Mobile Ultimate Home Giveaway? There’s a link for Enter Now which takes you to the Ultimate Home Giveaway page. If you are an existing T-Mobile customer, you’ll see a link to click to enter the Home Giveaway, and you have until July 29th. If not, there’s information on the T-Mobile National Open House on July 12th, you can enter at one of the participating locations. A HOUSE, people! See the site for details.

So please say you will enter, and please spread the word about this! I’m not giving anything away personally, but Digital Influence Group went to all this trouble to make this beautiful widget for me, I’d hate to see it sit here empty. Please enter! Leave me a comment after you do and tell me what your answer was to the question, because I’m curious like that

If you have children and you’ve never been to a Build A Bear Workshop, it’s a pilgrimage you must make. Because it is an experience like none other. Everything about BABW screams FUN and YOU WANT THIS and BUY US NOW to kids of all ages! We don’t have BABW here in Lansing, so I was thrilled when I got the email asking if I would do this giveaway, because I also got this for Kaitlyn:

THAT, my friends, is the new Tropical Hello Kitty from Sanrio, exclusively available at Build-A-Bear Workshop! She has a toasty golden glow to her fur from her time spent in the tropics (although it doesn’t send a good message about sunscreen use, but I’m willing to overlook that because she is just so darn cute). She has a pretty silk flower tucked behind her ear, a sleeveless pink and orange souvenir t-shirt from her trip to Hawaii, and a ruffled denim mini. She’s also soft and huggable!

There’s a whole line of different outfits available for Tropical Hello Kitty, which you can see here. Since mine didn’t come with the silver purse and sandals shown there, I assume those are accessories I can purchase separately. But look at all the fun choices! Now, if Hello Kitty isn’t your thing, don’t worry-the winner of this giveaway can use their $25 gift card towards the purchase of anything at Build-A-Bear, including Bears, Dogs, Bunnies, Kitties, and World Wildlife Fund Friends. Gift cards can be used at any Build-A-Bear or friends2Bmade store in the U.S., or online at www.buildabear.com, www.friends2Bmade.com, or www.buildadino.com.

Enter to winthis $25 gift card by leaving a comment on this entry. Because the gift card is in dollars, it’s open to U.S. only. Please use your real first name and a valid email address when you leave your comment. Enter by Tuesday, July 15th at 9:00 AM EST. One winner will be chosen at random and contacted for their mailing address.
