I wanted to have a giveaway in celebration of reaching 3k followers and to also thank everyone for following me and for their continuous support and kind words on my photos.
I wanted my giveaway to have a general "kawaii", "anime" and "cosplaying" theme throughout all the items which is the main focus of my Instagram account. I also know that the majority of my followers on Instagram are into anime, cosplaying and Japanese culture and food, so it seemed fitting.
The purpose of this blog post is to document my first giveaway so I can compare it to future giveaways. I also wanted to provide my followers with links and info to various sites in case they would like to purchase any of the giveaway items in the future.
So firstly, here's a picture of all the giveaway items together:
The items include:
- Unisqo pink circle lenses
- Unisqo black circle lenses
- Strawberry flavoured Pocky
- Hello Kitty chocolate Yo-Bo
- Strawberry flavoured Yan-Yan
- Hazelnut flavoured Yan-Yan
- Blueberry flavoured Ramune
- Hello Kitty strawberry Ramune
- Pokemon chopsticks with case
- White and pink kitty cosplay paws
- Pikachu - Pokemon pillow
The following includes links and info to each of the giveaway items:
Unisqo pink circle lenses: $22.90 and can be purchased here
Unisqo black circle lenses: $17.90 and can be purchased here
White and pink kitty paws: $9.49 and can be purchased here
For the Japanese candy, drinks and chopsticks, I purchased them all from Asian Food Grocer
They have an amazing selection of Japanese/Asian candy, food, drinks and household items at affordable costs...However when creating my giveaway , I hadn't realized the shipping costs would be so expensive...Shipping ended up being around $60, not including the food and drinks.
For those of you wanting Japanese food and candy, I recommend looking elsewhere, unless you can afford to pay the high shipping costs.
The Pikachu - Pokemon pillow was given to me as a gift from a friend a few years ago...I'm not too sure where they purchased it from. However, upon doing a quick Google search, I found one for sale here
Lastly, here's a quick video for a better look at all the giveaway items:
I just wanted to thank everyone that has taken the time to read this and to those that have participated in my giveaway. I'm sorry that there is only one winner, I wish I could give this prize to everyone. I will be having more giveaways with great prizes in the future, possibly once I reach 5 or 6k followers on Instagram...So stay tuned for that!
