The best thing? I think it was a pair of tickets to see the Scottish band The Proclaimers when I was in college, from a local radio station.
Hmmm…I actually cannot think of a prize that I have ever won. Once I thought I won a free lunch from Otter’s for my office, but those drawing are actually marketing tools for financial planners and the like :) I would LOVE the declare the swag bag as the best prize I have ever won!
Concert Tickets…and my husband! He’s def the best prize ever!!!
Liked on Facebook too!
when i was in the 6th grade i won the “Great Stocking Stuffer Giveaway” on Nickolodeon. Three huge boxes filled to the brim with games, barbies, action figures, a Nick themed swag- like a snow globe filled with slime instead of snow. seriously, i thought i was the COOLEST. Let me win this. something has to trump 1991 :)
The best thing I ever won was a Little Foot (from the Land Before Time!) stuffed animal from Pizza Hut when I was like 7 or 8. Seriously, that’s the only thing I’ve ever won so it is the best by default!
Also, I tweeted from all 3 of my Twitter accounts!
And I like you on Facebook!
Best thing I ever won was most definitely a trip! About a year ago I stalked a radio station trying to win a trip to the Bahamas and I actually won! It was absolutly insane. I’ve never won anything near that glorious but it came at a time that me and my fiance really needed.
But hello a swag bag! As a foodie this is equally exciting!
Concert Tickets. May not have been my favorite choice of performer but it was still a fun time and I loved WINNING the tickets!!
This is terribly sad, and I’m not saying it b/c I think it’ll give me better chances of winning, but I honestly don’t think I’ve ever won anything: nothing at a carnival, fair, amusment park, radio call in show, or giveaway on line! I live vicarously through one of my friends who ALWAYS wins! The best gift she’s been given (IMO) was a year’s worth of movie passes!
Best prize I’ve ever won… hm, I’ve really never won anything other than a Lucilite tray so that would be it! :)
I follow you on twitter!
I’m a fan on FB :)
I’m new, but following you on FB ;-)
A breakfast with the birds voucher for two at the bird park!
I won a portrait watercolor of my home!
Best thing I’ve won: probably books from other bloggers. I know, so nerdy.
Already a faithful Twitter follower!
And a Facebook fan too!
I once won a Wii from my apartment complex…but I think that my favorite thing I ever won was a pure barre dvd :)
I’ve won concert tickets on the radio, and tickets to sporting events, but I’d have to say this is one giveaway I’m really hoping to win. It sounds like a fantastic prize!

Best thing I ever won? My husband’s love!
… and tweeted!
Just this week I won ticket to a Predators Suite AND tickets to see South Pacific! I’m on such a high from that, I can’t remember what else I won. :) I follow you on Twitter and enjoy your tweets much! I’ll gladly tweet your message.
Maybe not the best thing, but I recently won a sampler box of Food Should Taste Good chips…lasted me all of 2 weeks haha!
Just tweeted your contest, too!
The best prize I’ve ever won was VIP tickets to an Anthony Bourdain-Eric Ripert “Foodie Experience” (write-up here: http://www.closetobliss.com/?p=559)! The tickets were a giveaway by a now-defunct local blogger who couldn’t make it to the show, and to win, one simply had to email an entry. There was no limit placed on how many emails could come in for one person, so I had all my friends and family submit entries for me from their own email addresses – I had my heart set on winning! And, to add extra delight to making the tickets my own, I got to take my Dad, who helped spark my love for food from a very young age. It was amazing.
I’ve “liked” you on Facebook!
I now follow you on Twitter & have tweeted about the giveaway!
I think my husband is the best prize ever, but if I had to list a material prize, I’d definitely say I was super pumped to win a copy of the Homesick Texan cookbook.
I also tweeted about this giveaway.
And I like you on facebook!
I don’t think I have won anything
Been an FB liker for awhile
I liked your page on Facebook!
I tweeted! I hope I win the swag bag.
The best prize I ever won was a set of two tickets to the Preds wine festival last year and it came with 2 Reidel glasses and a wine accessory set. I hope I get a foodie swag bag to complement my wine kit!
I have seriously never won anything! Hah! One time when I was 8 I had the chance to win a cabbage patch kid in a contest against another girl. The contest was who could sit on and pop a balloon the fastest. I fell off the chair and the balloon floated away.. still traumatized to this day!
The best prize I ever won was a cruise around Japan. Won it in an essay contest when I was in the sixth grade!
Forgot to mention I’m a facebook fan too :)
I just liked Eat.Drink.Smile on Facebook.
I just tweeted Win an awesome swag bag from @betheats and @foodblogforum! http://bit.ly/pvI7cu

the best prize… um, THIS one? ;) MUAH ah ah…
okay, the only thing I’ve ever really won was a stereo from a sushi restaurant… I know, random! they put my photo on the wall, which was kinda fun.
Um… I won a DVD once! How boring, huh?
And I tweeted!
