Build-a-Bear Wii Game Giveaway and Celebrity Bear Auction


I am excited to be hosting my first contest and generate support for a worthwhile cause. My girls are very fond of their own Build-A-Bear stuffed animals. Regan has a bear that she dressed in a wizard costume whom she calls Barry Potter (I know very Punny). Rebecca has both a Rabbit named Rainbow in Olympic gymnast gear and a monkey she calls Queenie who wears a diva outfit. Build-A-Bear is truly a great company that I support.

Build-a-Bear has teamed up with Wii to produce one of the hottest games this Holiday Season, Build-A-Bear Workshop® A Friend Fur All Seasons! Up to four players can personalize a virtual animal, play mini games, and dress and accessorize their in-game friends. Depending on the outfits and accessories chosen, the virtual Build-a-Bear character will act differently. How fun is that?

Thanks to my good friends at Family Review Network and the The Game Factory I am able to give one of my lucky readers their very own copy of the Build-A-Bear Workshop® A Friend Fur All Seasons Wii game valued at $39.99. This game can be found at most retailers including Target, Amazon, and WalMart.

To go along with the season of giving The Game Factory is hosting an auction on Ebay with Build-A Bear Wii games and custom made Build-A-Bear animals that were created by celebrities to raise money for the Ronald McDonald House of Southern California. These one-of-a-kind bears were built by celebrities like Tori Spelling & Dean McDermott, the Jonas Brothers, James Gandolfini, Melissa Joan Hart, Bonnie Hunt, Mitchel Musso, Meaghan Jette Martin and more. Needless to say my girls would really like me to bid on the Jonas Brothers Bear.

I can't wait to see how many entries I get on my first ever contest! This contest is for United States and Canadian residents only. Contest Ends December 6th at Midnight.
Here are all the ways you can enter
1. Visit the Ebay auction and tell me which bear you would bid on. One entry
2. Visit the The Game Factory and tell me what your favorite game feature is. One extra entry
3. Blog about this contest on your blog and come back and tell me about it. Please include Ebay auction information as well. One extra entry
4. Become a follower of my blog. One extra entry

Everyone has at least four chances to win this game in time for the holidays so Good Luck!

A special Thank you to the Family Review Network for this opportunity.

Cool idea for a giveaway! I visited the ebay site and I liked the dog that Bonnie Hunt dressed. He's in scrubs and I think he's really cute (plus I love her to death). Good luck with your giveaway and Happy Thanksgiving!

(bear by Cannono Mosteller)
I think I am going to bid on this(when hubby gets up so he can ok it). Zach loves numbers and clocks and would probably love it.

Colleen said...

hard to say what the favorite game feature is without actually playing it...but building a snowman sounds cute...and I bet Zach would love to try the jumping game.

Colleen said...
