Nikon HD Digital Camera System #Giveaway

By

Note: The following giveaway is open to Canadians only.

Earlier this year, when thinking about goals for myself and my blog, I made a vow: I would do more “feel good” giveaways in 2013. That is, the chance to give back to my readers with prizes that aren’t necessarily attached to reviews; a few awesome things here and there “just because”.

I love when things fall into place.

You may remember the epic deal on UGG boots over at MTF Price Matters a few weeks ago. Listen to Lena readers were treated to an exclusive online coupon which took 25% off already discounted products – and let me tell you, stock went quickly. In fact, all but two sizes were sold out less than 24 hours later!

(UGG Classic Short Boots in Chocolate just became available in sizes 7 and 8, so act fast! Enter code “25OFFUGGS” at checkout to grab them for just $101.99 plus free shipping.)

From the popularity of this sale, I realized two things:

1. I have the most fabulous, fashion-conscious readers who also love a good deal.
2. MTF Price Matters has incredible promotions. Like, ridiculously good.

Now it could have all ended there, but then I received a call from MTF Price Matters, who wanted to say thank you to my readers for being awesome customers. And how are they saying “thank you”? Wait for it… I think there’s a feel good moment coming on…

By giving away this Nikon 1 J1 10.1 MP HD Digital Camera System with 10-30mm VR 1 Nikkor Lens, valued at $499.99!

“For your very mobile lifestyle comes a completely new imaging system with freedom to create and express as never before. Highly compact and portable, the Nikon 1 J1 goes everywhere you go. Moments from your amazing world are captured using a highly responsive autofocus and super fast shooting speed. In one touch you can work in Full HD (1080p) movie record mode. A camera so versatile you can even snap photos while recording movies. Unleash your creativity with Nikon 1—offering a balance of high performance, advanced features, portability and a newly designed interchangeable lens system. Infuse your world with photos from every moment and connect as never before.”

Now how’s that for giving back?

Simply enter the form below with your qualifying entries. Thank you to MTF Price Matters for sponsoring this giveaway, and good luck!

    The Russell Hobbs 1.7-L Electric Kettle for 26.99, discounted from 38.99.Caught my eye because we’ll be needing a new kettle and this is priced right for us with the kettle style (?) we’ve been looking for.

  4. shana

    Goodness, I need a new camera desperately! My current camera waits a full 30-45 seconds before taking a photo. This means a pic of my cousin walking down the aisle turns into a glorious pic of the back of her dress. I can never get a good shot of my one year old. Its about time for me to capture some great memories!

  5. Londia

    The Testarossa Conair Ionic Dryer with Diffuser caught my eye as my hair dryer is older and this would be nice to have.

  7. Samantha (Gemstone Beauty)

    Canon Rebel T2i with 75-300, Tripod and Software — this one comes with two lenses: the standard 18 – 55 AND the 75 – 300.Amazing lens. Plus a tripod. For the price they have it ($449.99) – That is half price and what an amazing price at that!

  8. D H

  16. Vanessa

    I haven’t owned a camera in about 5 years, since I use my phone to take pictures, and I would like to try taking better photos with a great camera. I’m starting to travel more and I hate that all I have are mediocre phone photos to remember my trips.

  19. Karen Gillcrist-Gbson

    always trying to find a good deal, and also like to be stylish. New shades for the coming sun would be a must have. And these would work. Miu Miu Sunglasses ..A must have for sure.

I absolutely LOVE my new UGGS and have you to thank for scoring the great deal and finally owning a pair because lets face it I am “Extreme Couponing Mom” and I have that sick addiction to not spending money so have never been able to justify spending the original ticket price on them but $100.00 that settled well in my frugal head of mine <3
