Adriana’s 10-Year Blog Anniversary Giveaway

Adriana — Tue, 31 Jul 2018 12:17:04 +0000

AKA Get your sex toys and books here!

I don’t always host blog anniversary giveaways or start sentences like a meme (although, you will be able to get extra entries if your meme-minded). But I figured that 10 years is a big’un. So I posted 5000+ words about my experience as a sex blogger. Then I got to work contacting companies to see who might like to sponsor some prizes to my wonderful readers.

I’d like to thank all my sponsors: Vibrant, Stockroom, Ayzad, GoodVibes, Screaming O, SheVibe, PinkCherry, PeepShow Toys, Split Peaches, Cleis Press, Lovehoney, Babeland and Simon and Schuster. All these wonderful companies have made this giveaway possible.

Like many bloggers, I am providing you with some of my more cherished toys that I’ve reviewed over the years. I was so excited to provide my readers with a chance to win Split Peaches’ Unicorn dildo, not just because it’s novel but because I love it. Stockroom provided me with a bed restraint system; I’ve loved mine for years. Thanks to them, I’ve also got a Neon Wand to give away.hjnrefdd

You’ll see that I’ve also included a number of books. I’m increasingly focusing on the science of sex (so much so that I have a feature dedicated to it) and reviewing more books. I’m sure that my readers want to get their hands on some of these titles, and I am thrilled to be able to give away Come As You Are and Tell Me What You Want, among others (some of which are still waiting me to write a review).

I’d like to take a moment to lament over the number of toys that I wasn’t able to include because they no longer exist (the toy and, in some cases, the company). Phallix and Fucking Sculptures are defunct. Fun Factory no longer makes the Twist. I enjoyed the Ceramix line by Pipedream, but that no longer exists. We’ve got very few companies hand-blowing quality glass pieces, and that’s a shame.

It’s not just glass, however. Some of my favorite vibrators can no longer be found. I’m talking about Fun Factory’s Yooo, the Tuyo, the Faerie by Tantus. The list reads like a scavenger hunt of long-forgotten sex toys, and it continues to grow.

But let’s focus on positives. Many companies have agreed to sponsor prizes for this giveaway, and I know you’re curious what they are!

How to Enter This Giveaway

I am switching things up with this giveaway. After all, it’s been ten years. It’s time! There will be plenty of the usual entry options, and the only mandatory entry is free.

Design Your Own Entry – This entry allows you to pick your own entry that explains why you should win. You can write a haiku, take a photo, make some art, bake a cake. The winner of this will get to choose three prizes.

Question of the Day – Every day, I will post a question on Twitter, Tumblr, and Facebook. Answer the question in any of those places. This entry requires you to paste the link of your entry into the Gleam form. You can come back every day to answer. The question will remain on my socials if you want to answer for fun. I will attempt to schedule questions at the same time every day.

These entries are designed to encourage engagement, to build bonds, to start a conversation. While I don’t instate word minimums or anything like that, I appreciate thoughtful responses.

I am willing to forgive one mistake but will remove all entries from any person who repeatedly breaks the rules.

I will choose at least 10 winners, which meand some people will have a chance at multiple prizes.
