I know it’s only the first of December, but I think about you and our giveaways quite a lot. As the Giveaway Coordinator, I buy the prizes that we use for the giveaways. The admin team and I anguish (yes, at times it has been anguish) over what to buy that YOU would like to receive. And things you’ll tell your friends about, so they’ll join us and become a part of our InspyRomance family.
So for this post, I’m coming to you to find out what YOU like having a chance to win in our semi-annual giveaways, besides books because those are a given. I’ll list some things we’ve given in the past in this poll. If you would like to see something else added, let me know in the comments.
Most of these, if not all, can be seen on the giveaways pages. When you click the individual giveaway dates, the images pop up.
Remember, whatever you choose will likely show up in our Birthday Bash giveaway in February. Mwahaha.
Happy reading and clicking (on the poll),

Even when she’s busy homeschooling, doing laundry, or fixing dinner, reading or writing are not far from her mind. She is president of her local writing group, and blogs regularly for InspyRomance.com and at gingersolomon.com.
Hi Ginger, good luck with choosing giveaways. So long as we keep having great blog posts, I am happy. I have to say, as an international reader, I do appreciate the effort that you all have gone to to have an international pack- that is special!
We have 2 more weeks till holidays- I am excited! The boys have asked if we can put up the Christmas tree tomorrow- we often head interstate to be with family for Christmas, so don’t often put up a tree at home, so it is a treat to do so.
Blessings:)
Hi and Happy holidays! You are so nice to try to come up with nice giveaways! For me it’s all about the autographed paperback book! That’s enough to make me happy!
Thanks for your thoughtfulness in organizing the giveaways!
Hi Ginger and Happy Holidays! I agree with Wemble, I enjoy the inspiring interactive blog posts. Thank you for the wonderful giveaway packages, gift cards, generosity and concern. As a retiree, my favorite gifts are gift cards, pens, note pads and journals. While I am reading, I enjoy taking notes about characters, settings and quotes. As we light the Candle of Hope, blessings during this Advent season.
Thanks to all of the Inspy authors for keeping up this daily blog, it is one of the highlights of my day!! The giveaway choices are amazing, and if course books are my favorite things!!
I’m glad we’re able to include our international readers as well. We struggled with how to do that before we found Book Depository. I wish we could send other things your way as well, but the cost of shipping it is ASTRONOMICAL and would wreck our budget.
Merry Christmas and safe travels.
Thanks for the feedback, Linda.
Merry Christmas.
It’s my pleasure, MJ.
Merry Christmas.
Thanks, Renate.
Merry Christmas.
I think it would just be a blessing to receive anything, as it is the thought that counts. I have received a Bookish necklace twice from authors that I’ve reviewed for and I think of them whenever I wear them.
Blessings
It’s our pleasure, Paula Marie. I’m not sure what non-readers do with their time or imagination. Books bring so much pleasure.
Merry Christmas.
Thanks, Ginger, for all you do! I voted! I appreciate you ladies here so much! Thanks!
My only problem with the giveaway books is that I’ve usually read them all before the giveaway! :-)
Thanks for all of the giveaways on this blog! I’ve come across so many new-to-me authors just from reading this blog which has been great! In addition to books, I enjoy pens, bookmarks, and Amazon giftcards.
Thanks for your generosity. I voted. I would add a notebook of some kind. I review books and write them out by hand before entering them into goodreads. Or just a note pad. I make lists all the time. Notebooks are good for keeping track of what contests you have entered, lists of what you put on First Line Friday, what books are due for review by date, etc.
Happy, blessed Christmas!
I am so glad that I found you all a few months ago! I love the books, and I would not have found many of the authors on my own. It is especially special for me because over the past 3-4 years a very painful and disabling illness has come into my life. The kindle and reading helps a lot with distracting me.
Thanks, Lucy. We appreciate your feedback.
Merry Christmas.
It sounds like you have some great ideas for giveaways. Another suggestion would be a book cozy to protect your book while traveling. I’ve seen some very cute ones.
Thanks for your feedback, Jackie. We appreciate you, too.
Merry Christmas.
From a writer’s perspective, that’s a good problem to have. You can always use them as last-minute (or pre-planned) gifts. :)
Merry Christmas.
Thanks for the feedback, Ellie.
Merry Christmas.
Awesome ideas, Paula. Thank you.
Merry Christmas.
I am sorry you are in pain, Sandra, but I am so glad that you have found a great way to be distracted. I know that when my back hurts reading is an awesome way to forget about it for a little while.
Merry Christmas.
Thank you, Winnie. I’ve added that to our list of possibilities. ;)
Merry Christmas.
Thanks for all you do. I am beyond grateful for inspyromance authors . I appreciate the giveaways. It was fun clicking. I was surprised tea had more votes than coffee. I’m an avid tea drinker but really don’t like and never drink coffee. If I receive coffee as a gift I regift it to my kids:-).
The only giveaway that appeals to me besides books is chocolate. The trouble with chocolate is that I live in Florida.
I would enjoy getting a gift card to a bookstore.
Everyone has different desires & needs, when it comes to reading. About years back I switched from reading physical books to an eBook Reader. My eLibrary is now bigger than my personal one ever was. But I know, that there are still many people, who still read physical books.
So my suggestion is for Gift Cards. They can be used to purchase eBooks or Books, Sweets, Drinks, or Merchandise. Thank you for considering this.
Lololol…here I am looking for all of above option…so I selected all ;) I am happy and thankful for everything! Thank you for your thoughtfulness and generosity!
Blessings this Christmas season <3
I’m a tea drinker, myself, Diana. My kids and hubby drink coffee though. :)
Merry Christmas.
Thanks for your input, Janet.
Merry Christmas.
Thanks for your feedback, Esther.
Merry Christmas.
That’s funny, Natalya. I would probably take them all myself (well, I’d give away the coffee to my hubby or kids, but I’d take it anyway). Thanks for your feedback.
Merry Christmas.
While I would love to win a kindle, I’d still rather prefer smaller gifts with more winners. I’ve noticed recently that some facebook parties tend to have one person win multiple times – I say share the love. It’d be great if more people could win.
