NST Giveaway ~ Gumps Baroque Pearl

Posted by Robin on 2 May 2009 27 Comments

What is it: One 50 ml bottle of Gumps Baroque Pearl, from which I have decanted 2 small samples (I keep the samples, you get the bottle).

Who can win: Any registered reader who lives in the US, who has already left at least one comment on the site (see #4 below) and who has not won an NST giveaway in the past 6 months.

Update: We have a winner, congrats to Haunani!

How to win: Leave a quick comment below, using the "Post a Comment" box (do not reply to another comment). I have used random.org to generate a number between 1 and 10. Once we have 10 comments, I'll identify the winner, and s/he can send their mailing details to robin at nstperfume dot com.

The fine print:

  1. We will try to mail your package within 2 weeks.
  2. We will notify you when we've finally dragged ourselves off to the post office.
  3. Reasonable care will be taken in the packaging and mailing of your prize, but if the contents are lost or damaged or fail to please you for any reason whatsoever, we're terribly sorry but we cannot replace them.
  4. Everyone who signs up to comment at Now Smell This has their first comment held for moderation. Comments on giveway articles are not moderated; if you are leaving your first comment on this site, there is no point in leaving it on this article as it will never show up. There is also no point in quickly leaving another comment somewhere else then coming back to this article to comment, as we don't approve comments that quickly.
  5. Some people have complained about our method of holding giveaways. Apologies go out to anyone who finds it unfair, but this is the easiest way for us and so this is how we'll continue to do it.
  6. We'll probably add more rules later as we need them.

        yup, I didn’t realize that I’d mess up the count by commenting in Kess’s box….but I’m confident in Robin’s ability to count…as long as she hasn’t gone to bed…it’s late in our time zone!

          HA….I’m easily confused & considered deleting your comment just to make it easier ;-)

            It’s only to 10 ! Clearly you’ve been drinking uncaffienated tea again…..and truly , when I realized that my comment messed the count—I thought you might delete it.

    • Robin says:
      2 May 2009 at 11:13 pm

      Ding ding ding — we have a winner! Random.org picked #10, and you were #10 even though Daisy tried to mess up our count :-)

      Don’t forget to send me your mailing details!

    Robin — I think maybe Haunani has signed off since she thinks she missed it— sorry I didn’t mean to mess things up.
    Anyhow, I’ve emailed her that she won so maybe she’ll check her emails! sheesh, I’m like a plague upon the land! which is a step down (or up?) from my usual trouble making.

        oh yippee, I get to wear the Scarlet P ….one question, do I coordinate my shoes and bag to the “P” or to the rest of my outfit?
        I just want to say that if I hear ONE SINGLE PERSON SAY ” oh, darn, I just pulled a “Daisy”…..I’m gonna be cheesed off ….and be forced to….MAKE A MILLION MORE IRRELEVANT COMMENTS.
        Yeah, that’ll teach youse guys.

      Hi Giustiano! I’ve noticed that Robin posts these at various times of the day and night, so I’m thinking that everyone will have a chance at some point.
