I would spend it on my son's birthday!!!
Posted by: Rebecca | 12/23/2010 at 11:00 AM
I would buy myself an I-pod shuffle to run with because I have wanted one for about 6 months and haven't had the extra money to spend on "me". The rest I would use towards my son's birthday present in January.
Posted by: Kristin | 12/23/2010 at 11:02 AM
If I won a $100 mastercard gift card, I would buy a really pretty pair of boots, and with the rest, I'd buy my boyfriend a new wallet because he is in desperate need of a new one!
Posted by: hannah | 12/23/2010 at 11:13 AM
I would buy myself some new clothes. I just had my second baby and my old wardrobe doesn't fit (or if it does fit it doesn't look so hot). :)
Thanks for the opportunity!
Posted by: Anna | 12/23/2010 at 11:14 AM
I would use it towards a baby crib for our little one that will be here in May.
Posted by: Anna Marie | 12/23/2010 at 11:15 AM
i will spend this $$ om my self, I need to treat my self after thinking of others before my self. This will be my Christmas gift.
Posted by: Cynthia Leal | 12/23/2010 at 11:16 AM
I would buy my hubby a new pair of sunglasses to surprise him.
Posted by: Kim Bernhardt | 12/23/2010 at 11:16 AM
My birthday is Jan 5, I will be 29, the last of the twenties! Yikes! So I would definately spend it on myself, maybe a trendy shirt or a piece of funky jewerly, to remind myself that I am still young!

Posted by: Melissa V. | 12/23/2010 at 11:24 AM
I'd use it for.... a wii for me and my darling daughter. Or a house warming gift for my parents who had to move due to unfortunate circumstances :( or photography accessories for my Nikon... or a great dinner with friends -- SUSHI!!!
Posted by: Phoenix_Rising | 12/23/2010 at 11:25 AM
I would take my boyfriend out and we would spend it on a nice night out together. Maybe buy ourselves something since we had said no gifts this year :)

Posted by: Monica | 12/23/2010 at 11:33 AM
my wonderful family got me a gift certificate for a photography session and we're having it done after the first of the year, so i'd definitely use it toward something cute to wear for that!
Posted by: mel | 12/23/2010 at 11:35 AM
A new lens.......or at least *part* of one ;)
Posted by: Kimberly | 12/23/2010 at 11:35 AM

Happy Holidays! :)
Posted by: Natalie Soares | 12/23/2010 at 11:38 AM
If my name is picked I will immediately fork over the $100 to my cleaning lady, who is the second-dearest person in the world, second only to her hubby. They could SO use this!
Posted by: Juli | 12/23/2010 at 11:41 AM
I would spend it on myself! I know, that sounds horrible. But seriously, I'm a single mom whose only presents under the tree were bought by ME (hello dollar bin at WalMart). I would love to buy something cool for myself without guilt. Oh, I'll still feel kinda guilty, but I'd tamp that down if I won. :)
Posted by: April Brown | 12/23/2010 at 11:43 AM
I would buy a pocket sized carmera. I have a big carmera and love it but I hate dragging it places. So I would to have a small one.
Posted by: Alice Nakles | 12/23/2010 at 11:43 AM
I am a new 1st grade teacher (in a very inner city school), so I would buy things for my classroom...maybe a rocking chair or some awesome pillows for my library!
Posted by: Mandi | 12/23/2010 at 11:44 AM
I would use it for a carseat/stroller for our baby girl who will be here in May!
Thank you for offering giveaways like these. I don't mind the ads at all!
Posted by: Antonette | 12/23/2010 at 11:45 AM
Not sure what I would buy, but it would be FOR ME, FROM ME (or Mastercard). It is not very often that I do that. Toiletries from the supermarket do not count.
Posted by: Meredith Salmon | 12/23/2010 at 11:46 AM
oh my gosh. We are moving into our first house after years of apartments. There are a million things that we need! This would be so helpful!
Posted by: Maria Quackenbush | 12/23/2010 at 11:46 AM
i would spend it on a few things from my etsy favorites. so much cute in one place! Happy Christmas!
Posted by: Nicole | 12/23/2010 at 11:48 AM
I would buy my husband something for his birthday!
Posted by: Angie M | 12/23/2010 at 11:52 AM
Hmmm...So many things I could buy with $100.00. New shoes, clothes, etc. Most likely it would be new boots!! Love Boots!!:)
Posted by: Valerie Alexander | 12/23/2010 at 11:53 AM
A baby gate...we are in the process of fostering/adopting some kiddos and have lots of stairs in our house!
Posted by: Melissa | 12/23/2010 at 11:54 AM

Posted by: amy jupin | 12/23/2010 at 11:54 AM

Posted by: April | 12/23/2010 at 11:55 AM
I would love to splurge at Victoria's Secret if I won! :)
Posted by: Amanda Larkins | 12/23/2010 at 11:56 AM
I would totally go on shopping spree for clothes! I'm still wearing stuff from 3 years ago. What a shame. :-(
Thank you for this awesome giveaway. We LOVE your blog. And we LOVE you ad blog too! :-)
Merry Christmas!!
Posted by: Diane Pierce | 12/23/2010 at 11:56 AM
Is it selfish to say I would buy something for ME? All our money goes towards bills, groceries, the boys, etc. For once I would like something just for ME! :)
Posted by: jill | 12/23/2010 at 11:56 AM
i'd put it towards camera gear.
Posted by: Tess S | 12/23/2010 at 11:57 AM
How I Met Your Mother DVD's...just discovered this show and we LOVE it...hope I remember to get online before the 72 hours are up with traveling for the holidays....I'm sure I'll win. :o) We love to laugh at this house and some movies or TV dvd's would definitely be first on my list.
Posted by: pam | 12/23/2010 at 11:58 AM
New Shoes!!! I am in need of some boots and maybe some red ballet shoes as well.
Posted by: Tracy | 12/23/2010 at 11:59 AM
pretty clothes!
Posted by: virginia | 12/23/2010 at 11:59 AM
I'd use it for a new baby gift for my new granddaughter who is due to be born Jan 6~
Posted by: Jody | 12/23/2010 at 11:59 AM
I would use it toward an iPad -- something I want for my daughter to help her communicate as she is non-verbal.
Posted by: Elizabeth | 12/23/2010 at 12:01 PM
I'd use it to celebrate our 9th wedding anniversary at the end of the month!
Posted by: amy | 12/23/2010 at 12:01 PM
I would spend it on my hubby who desperately needs some new clothes!
Posted by: Jen N. | 12/23/2010 at 12:03 PM

Posted by: sarajane | 12/23/2010 at 12:03 PM
I would buy new shoes for the new job I'm starting in January. Woo hoo!
Posted by: Leah | 12/23/2010 at 12:05 PM
At this moment, $100 would just help us survive until the next paycheck comes. Nothing exciting- just a trip to the grocery store!
Posted by: keely | 12/23/2010 at 12:06 PM
I would save it for a rainy day when i just had to go to target cause i was bored and end up spending $100 on nothing in particular!
Posted by: shannan | 12/23/2010 at 12:06 PM
I would buy something really exciting like groceries. Or maybe camera stuff or clothes.
Posted by: Donna | 12/23/2010 at 12:07 PM
A mid winter supply of mittens, hats and scarves for the kids since they have lost most of them already!
Posted by: Betsy | 12/23/2010 at 12:08 PM
I would put it towards a kitchen island/cart I've been eyeing at World Market.
Posted by: Karie | 12/23/2010 at 12:08 PM

Posted by: Mindy Wise | 12/23/2010 at 12:09 PM

Posted by: Allison Y. | 12/23/2010 at 12:12 PM
Baby clothes - we have kiddo #3 coming (SURPRISE!) and I have gotten rid of all of my baby clothes from the other 2. SO we have none. I know it isn't for myself, but it was ease some of my stress!
Posted by: Beth Ann | 12/23/2010 at 12:13 PM
I would love to win because I think I would buy something for my husband or take us on a date.
Posted by: Shanalea | 12/23/2010 at 12:14 PM
I would purchase a stamping kit (the kind you stamp metal w/ to make jewelry w/). I've always wanted to try, but I'm so frugal, I can't make myself part w/ the $$.
Posted by: Jodi | 12/23/2010 at 12:14 PM
I would put the 100 bucks straight into our date fund. For 2 years buying diapers have taken priority. We desperately need a few nice nights out!
Posted by: Lindsay | 12/23/2010 at 12:15 PM
I would buy myself the beautiful camera bag that I saw on Joy's Hope blog, in aqua of course!
Posted by: Lisa | 12/23/2010 at 12:20 PM
I'm thinking a new comforter..or a kindle, if I don't get one for Xmas!
Posted by: michelle | 12/23/2010 at 12:21 PM
i would take my best friend out for a spa day to relax after all of the holiday madness!
Posted by: Jennifer O'Steen | 12/23/2010 at 12:23 PM
$100 yipee! these boots were made for walking....... as in shoes, shoes, shoes!
Posted by: Elizabeth Highsmith | 12/23/2010 at 12:25 PM
i'd get my nasty old kid-infested car detailed. crusty. sticky. embarassing. it needs a hundred dollar detail work :)
Posted by: Kristin Joy | 12/23/2010 at 12:27 PM
I would use the money for a new video camera that I have been wanting forever but am too cheap to buy :)
Posted by: Brianne | 12/23/2010 at 12:29 PM
i would put it toward a new canon 50mm 1.4 lens!
Posted by: amanda | 12/23/2010 at 12:30 PM
I would use it to buy baby bedding for our expected new addition!
Posted by: Melissa Hermon | 12/23/2010 at 12:31 PM

Posted by: Cassie | 12/23/2010 at 12:31 PM
I too, would probably treat myself for once. It's been a tough year, and I just had my first baby, so I also could use new fitting clothes! Or some new house accessories.
LOVE your blog, Meg!!!
Posted by: Jaimaschutt.blogspot.com | 12/23/2010 at 12:32 PM
If I won, I would use it for dinner and (gasp!) movie out with the hubby. This would be a total splurge for us! :-)
Posted by: Emily Zucker | 12/23/2010 at 12:34 PM
I'd use $100 to buy books for next semester! I know, I live on the edge! ;)
Posted by: Tonya | 12/23/2010 at 12:36 PM
I would buy curtains for my living room!
Posted by: Rebecca | 12/23/2010 at 12:39 PM
Well, my wish would not be too exciting. My husband has been out of work and has recently just went back. had a rough time money wise lately and I would probably just use it to buy groceries and things for the house like laundry detergent, toilet paper and things like that! See told you it was boring! anymore i'm just thankful if i have the basics!
Posted by: Annette | 12/23/2010 at 12:42 PM
I would love to spend it on a night out with my husband...or something we WANT vs. need...or pay the MD bills for trying to get pregnant!
Posted by: Betsey | 12/23/2010 at 12:43 PM
I would probably buy something for my house. It seems like that kind of stuff always gets put on the backburner.
Posted by: Lorilee Peterson | 12/23/2010 at 12:44 PM
I would go on a shopping spree at Amazon.com. And Etsy. Big trouble...
Posted by: Tegan M. | 12/23/2010 at 12:55 PM
I would buy a lens for my camera. A generous parent at school gave me a cash Christmas gift, so if I won the MasterCard, I would have the full amount I need to buy the one I want! I just read the comment before mine, though, and I think she should win it instead of me! I'm a 1st grade teacher, too, and I know it takes a LOT of your own money to get a classroom set up.
Posted by: Jenny B. | 12/23/2010 at 12:55 PM
i would buy a new pair of jeans.
Posted by: Jamie J | 12/23/2010 at 12:56 PM
I would buy some new stuff for my house!! or donate it to my local church!
Posted by: katie | 12/23/2010 at 12:57 PM
I would buy some tops from Target. I am in desperate need of cute mom tops :)
Posted by: Barbara | 12/23/2010 at 12:58 PM
I would buy some maternity clothes, ahh, the clothes part isn't fun, but the new baby sure will be! :)
Posted by: Kristina | 12/23/2010 at 01:00 PM
i'd probably be selfish and put it towards a kindle...i just want one so badly!
Posted by: Hannah | 12/23/2010 at 01:01 PM
I would buy an outfit from J.Crew for New Years!
Posted by: Katie | 12/23/2010 at 01:01 PM
I would use the card to put towards a new washer and dryer at Sears. Mine are getting "scary" noisy.
Posted by: Hoosier at Heart | 12/23/2010 at 01:04 PM
Well, I would love to buy myself some new clothes, but I would probably end up being boring and practical and getting something we need...Ick to adulthood.
Posted by: Mindi | 12/23/2010 at 01:05 PM
I would use it towards a camera..hoping for some good after Christmas sales!
Merry Christmas!
Posted by: allison | 12/23/2010 at 01:06 PM
I would use it to pay on my insurance deductible from a rear end accident where the person who rear ended me had no insurance
Posted by: Wendy | 12/23/2010 at 01:08 PM
Maternity Clothes!
Posted by: Amy | 12/23/2010 at 01:10 PM
I'd probably spend it on my 15 y/o daughter who would be thrilled to have $100 to spend on new clothes.
Posted by: Molly | 12/23/2010 at 01:19 PM
I would buy a new camera, mine broke, and I have 3 little girls, and I hate not having a camera to capture those precious moments!
Posted by: Sarah | 12/23/2010 at 01:22 PM
Oh goodness!!! Soooo many things....but probably, I'd just give it to my Dad...because he could use it more than I could ;) Thanks Megan!!!!
Posted by: Staci | 12/23/2010 at 01:23 PM
Awesome! I'd buy an ipod shuffle and give my daughter my nano! Her's just stopped working and I would rather have a shuffle anyway for my running!
Posted by: Jaime | 12/23/2010 at 01:26 PM
$100...free money?!? A washing machine! No, not a brand new one, just parts to fix ours that is 20 years old. Would be so nice not to have to worry about water leaking and cleaning it up every time I do our laundry. :)
Posted by: Michelle | 12/23/2010 at 01:29 PM
Ummm...I would buy cool souvenirs when I take my daughter to Tallahassee to march in the Governor's Inauguration Parade!!!!
Posted by: LibraryGirl62 | 12/23/2010 at 01:30 PM
A new light fixture for our Living Room!
Posted by: Heather K | 12/23/2010 at 01:32 PM
If I had an extra $100, I would put it towards a sewing machine for myself. :)
Posted by: ana hogan | 12/23/2010 at 01:36 PM
I would probably buy groceries. Isn't that fun and exciting?!
Posted by: Sugar Mama | 12/23/2010 at 01:36 PM
I would buy something for myself....maybe a massage?
Posted by: tobi d | 12/23/2010 at 01:37 PM
I'd probably buy myself and/or my hubby some new clothes and/or shoes. Our 3 girls tend to get all the clothes/shoes!
Posted by: Kristi Barrett | 12/23/2010 at 01:41 PM
