Amber Wins Contests

This is overdue but wanted to let you all know some accounts to follow for giveaways! November was busy, but I did win four giveaways and have some tips to help you find giveaways and win. 1. @tiedyeismylife on Instagram gave away a couple little paint pouring canvases she made. I’ve been looking more at #artgiveaway to find unique handmade pieces to decorate my apartment. Check her and the hashtag out! 2. @classickimberz on Instagram gave away the book The Age of Turmoil by Bronson Mullens along with a $15 Starbucks gift card. I love books and hope to get a chance to read this one during the holidays. I found this one by checking out #starbucksgiftcard on Instagram which is great for finding small accounts giving away gift cards to Starbucks. 3. @heuserandheuser_law gave away a $10 Starbucks gift card on Instagram. They give away a lot of these in regular posts. They often post a photo and a couple facts about a location in Colorado and you just have to be the first one to answe

Welcome back to my monthly post where I recap what giveaways I won this month. Overall, October was kind of slow but the prizes were good. 1. @delmontefresh gave away hundreds of banana suits and I won one. Here is my super cute boyfriend modeling it. Stephen, this is a test to see if you read my blog. 2. @girlgangthelabel has been killing on Instagram lately with the giveaways. I got a $20 gift card by sharing their post to my story.  3. And a few days later I got another $20 gift card from @girlgangthelabel for commenting on their post. These gift cards did expire but I used each one to buy a cute mug which had free shipping. I posted the below photo on Instagram with the caption “Does anyone else think @sarablakely would like one of these mugs?” because she always posts photos with empowering mugs and SHE LIKED AND COMMENTED ON MY PHOTO. She’s the founder of Spanx and a total Girl Boss and wow I want to be her.  4. @poshnebraska has started doing $10 gift card

Welcome back to your favorite, regularly scheduled blog about what I've won this month. I won a lot of earrings this month, so I need to stop entering earrings giveaways unless they're super cute. 1. @ladybulldogdm is a new boutique based here in Iowa, and I won a $15 Starbucks gift card! She has been repeating this giveaway weekly, so go give her a follow now! 2. @dylanrose_jewels and @worshipworthy gave away a cute snakeskin pouch and gold earrings. I love this style of earring that clips in the back because I hate statement earrings that poke your head right behind your ear. 3. @heuserandheuser_law on Instagram has a weekly Find It Friday. I won September 13th but they didn't respond right away so I'm expecting a surprise in the mail... 4. @shopmissmandarina on Instagram gave away a cute pair of clay earrings. I chose black so they would match almost everything. 5. @hazelry.handmade gave away a pair of tassel earrings and a cute engraved necklace. I wor

Since starting Amber Wins Contests a mere six months ago, I’ve seen a lot of people follow in my footsteps and also create accounts so that they could enter giveaways without annoying their friends and family on their real accounts. So today, I will share some reasons why you should or shouldn’t make an account for giveaways. When I saw the first person make an account for giveaways right after me, I was a little offended. How could she just steal my genius idea ? Luckily, I then remembered that imitation is the most sincere form of flattery which is good because I’ve seen many people make giveaway accounts since then. Do it: 1. You won’t annoy your friends when you tag them in  another earring giveaway. 2. You won’t be as worried about your profile’s aesthetic and instead will repost to your feed without a care in the world and rake in those bonus entries. And you'll have no worries about anyone unfollowing you for posting so many giveaways. 3. You can also share to your s

Ah yes, my monthly post where I share what I won over the past month. Personally, I had a lot going on. I moved into a new apartment, took a five day trip to San Antonio to watch my brother graduate Air Force basic training, and started my MBA, so I was not entering many contests this month. However,  I still had a few winnings. 1. If you've been following @stickermule you know that they recently wrapped up 100 days of giveaways. And in those 100 days, I won something! Some of their days had more than one winner, so I made sure to enter those. I won a free order of sheet labels (fancy stickers) worth $56. If you're following me on Instagram, you'll know that I actually gave these away (my first giveaway!). 2. @dermala had an Instagram contest with three winners. One of those winners must have not followed the rules or responded quickly enough because I was able to get a free package of their acne wipes worth $40. These were super handy when traveling to Texas. 3. I

Since I had a slow month of winnings (which I will be sharing later, in case I win something last minute lol), I decided to share some of what my friends have won this month! Since creating this blog and Instagram account, I've gotten a few people hooked. Even people who were skeptical at first (@ you Sophie ;)) 1. @rach.waldo is killing it. I haven't seen her in person in over two years, but she said she's been telling friends about my account. She won a $150 gift card to @mvstselect, 2 beauty products of her choice from Elixir Cosmetics, and @Veloni eyebrow fortifier. I'm pumped because I tagged her in the luggage giveaway, sent her the Elixir Cosmetics contest, and had posted about the Veloni contest. She is a True Fan of my account, and I appreciate the support. 2. @elvivi_o has learned so much she's been finding and winnings contests that I haven't even seen. She won a $5 Starbucks gift card from Brava podcast, a Raw Sugar Living bath set (shampoo, co
