Last weekend, my boyfriend and I held a chili cook off. I had planned on giving out a bottle of wine or two as prizes, along with my handmade wine charms, but that didn't seem like enough--or particularly appropriate for a chili cook off.
I had recently joined a BzzCampaign for Glade Expressions Oil Diffusers and Mist, and as I was wandering through Target, I thought "oohhh. A Glade Expression Mist or Diffuser might be good. After all, what happens after chili?" So, I used a couple of the BzzKit coupons to pick up one of each.
I had already tried the fuji apple and cardamom spice oil diffuser. The scent is extremely strong, so I resorted to putting it in the laundry/cat box room downstairs. It's really a shame because the container is quite attractive. That being said, by the time the party rolled around nearly a month later, it actually provided a pretty pleasant scent throughout the lower level of the split level house. In addition, we'd been using the cotton and Italian mandarin Mist in the bathroom, and that was quite nice (although my boyfriend was initially frustrated by how the bottle design worked). Yes...these would be a great post-chili prize.
I put the diffuser in with a bottle of my wine and a set of 6 charms in a basket for first place, and the mist with a bottle of wine and 4 charms in a basket for second place. I also put together a third place prize that included a candle. Then, I took some of the remaining coupons and placed one of each of the mist and diffuser coupons into each of the first, second, and third prizes.
When I gave out the prizes later in the night, I joked about how they would need something when they got home to counteract all the chili. Everyone thought that was funny--and a great idea. I told them what I had included in each of the prizes, and if they needed more, I'd included BzzAgent coupons for more.
I offered the remaining coupons to those who hadn't won a prize. Overall, it was a great evening and the Glade Expressions made great prizes.
