thoughtful pinch

5 Years

I haven’t missed a Tuesday deadline in five years. On March 3, 2015, I posted my very first post for the blog. Happy 5th Blogiversary to Thoughtful Pinch!  It all started with a gift idea of lottery tickets and I have been writing about thoughtfulness using food, beverages, health, holidays, national days, politics, religion, products, gift ideas, seasons, the Thoughtful Pinch App, travel and leisure ever since.

I am a thoughtfulness curator and it makes me happy when I help others collect their thoughts so that they can, in their own way, show others how thoughtful they are. Thoughtful pinches are gifts that are small but mighty. Meaning, the thought overshadows the price tag or size of the gift. And remember, being thoughtful isn’t always about giving an object - sometimes it can be the absence of words and actions.

The winner will choose one of these gift card/ID card holders specially made by my friend Katie Sansted of KT Design for Thoughtful Pinch.

A drawing for this prize will take place on Wednesday, 3/4/2020 and one winner will be announced at 10am CST.

Give Away #1 - One lucky winner will win a KT Design Card Holder with 3 gift cards ($10 Starbucks, $20 Target and $25 Amazon). You choose how you want to participate. Your name will be entered to win the prize each time you do any or all of the following:

  1. Like a Thoughtful Pinch post on: Instagram, Facebook, FB Story, IGTV video, IG Story or all of the above (increase your chances to win!).

  2. In the “Comments” please tell us about a favorite gift card that you received and why it’s your favorite.

  3. BONUS: Name a Thoughtful Pinch blog post(s) that contains info about the KT Design gift card holder and/or the topic of gift cards in the “Comments”. Your name will be entered twice for each title.

Below are photos of the other four prizes. One prize will be awarded per day for a total of five prizes in five days. As each winner is announced, I will update this post and give details as to how one can qualify to win one or more of these prizes.

If only I could figure out a way to send out bottles of Prosecco - that pinch would have been included as a Give Away for sure! I would have been thrilled to give bottles to a lucky winner. Next time! Stay tuned each day to see if you are winner. Good Luck!

Pinches,
