It's the Thought that Counts: Disclosures

Want me to Review your items?

I provide honest and quality reviews that will appeal to my readers. If you would like me to review one of your items, I would need to receive an item to try personally in my home. I will write an honest review and post as soon as I feel I have had an adequate amount of time to get full use out of the item(s). There are no fees or compensation for me to post your reviews.

Items that I would be interested in reviewing and would spark the interest of my readers:

Gift items for any holiday or event
Personalized Gifts (not including personalized gifts similar to what is sold in my shop)
Handmade items that may or may not be sold on Etsy, Artfire or Zibbet
Household items for cleaning, cooking, organization, etc.
Baby/Mother Items such as clothes, diapering, nursing, teething, development, etc.
Family Friendly items such as books, toys, keepsakes, clothes, etc.
Photography items such as props, printing services, etc.
Online memberships to photo storage, editing & sharing, etc.

I will include any links you'd like my readers to follow such as blog, Facebook, Twitter, BlogFrog, etc.

Giveaways

Giveaways are not required for me to post a review, however, they are recommended. Giveaways give readers an incentive to physically visit your sites and follow where possible, instead of just reading the post. Giveaways are to be 100% free to the winner. There is never a fee or shipping costs associated with giveaways. For such items where you'd prefer to receive a shipping fee in return, please consider giving away a gift certificate for them to use at a later date. Most of my readers are from the United States. Please specify if you need to limit your giveaway to certain regions, otherwise, I will assume it is open to worldwide contestants.

I use Rafflecopter to host my giveaways for my readers to easily enter the drawing to win. A winner will be randomly chosen within 48 hours of the contest ending via Rafflecopter. You will be notified with the information of the winner to make direct contact with the winner and make arrangements for delivery.

The following list are more common ways for contestants to enter the giveaway. None of these are required but, I will need to be provided with each of the links for them to be included in the entries. Either of them can be made as mandatory entries for the contest. By default, each of the entries will count for ONE entry into the contest. Please note if you'd like any of them to count for more than ONE entry. Each of the entries are subject to your own verification. There is no limit on the ways or the number entries to enter the contest.
