There’s only one thing better than a WIN WIN situation and that’s bringing a little three-way action into the mix. Actually that probably sounds all kinds of wrong but this is in fact all kinds of right as far as I’m concerned.
Our Aussie Giveaway Linkup now has a new and improved three-way line-up this month. From today, I now have two very special blogger friends co-hosting the link up with me each month. You could say it’s most certainly a WIN WIN WIN for everyone involved, especially those linking up and anyone that loves a fab giveaway.
It will be giveaways galore and much, much more and I couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate the new line-up than with a GIVEAWAY!
WINNING
Now I must confess, like most people I know, I’m not great at asking for help. Blame past experience where I’ve been let down and it just ends up creating extra work for me or the control freak in me that likes to do things my own way. Sometimes it is just easier to do things yourself. Only that approach can generally lead to one (in this case me) being more time poor than normal.
If blogging and the blogging community has taught me anything over the years, it’s the value of collaboration. The value of connecting, lending a helping hand, being inspired and in turn hopefully inspiring others are just some of the benefits of collaborating.
While I’ve collaborated with numerous bloggers over the years, I’m honestly not sure why it has taken me so long to get this particular collaboration off the ground, given I’ve been toying with the idea for more than a little while now. Timing and lack of time I suspect.
I just know our Aussie Giveaway Linkup is going to kick into overdrive this month with the help of two of my favourite blogging friends. I’m super excited to be welcoming Jody from Six Little Hearts and Kell from All Mum Said to the Aussie Giveaway Linkup line-up and I encourage you to pop over and welcome them both to the line-up! Both these gorgeous bloggers know a thing or three about hosting a great giveaway and have more than enough experience throwing a blog linkup.
Jody and Kelly have both graciously jumped on board as co-hosts for the remainder of the year, hopefully longer. At the end of the year, all going to plan, we may even open auditions for another blogger to join us. Which is exactly what I’m thinking I should do for my Worth Casing Wednesday linkup. What do you think?
The rules of play for our Aussie Giveaway Linkup will remain relatively the same. You will still be able to link up from the 1st of each month, you will just have two extra avenues available to you to link up. The linkup will be the same across the three blogs. So you only need to link up at one but given we all run giveaways (lots of giveaways), it’s generally worth visiting all three blogs on the 1st of the month (or soon after) for a review on what might be on offer or coming up.
With two extra co-hosts on board, this will give you two extra avenues for promoting your giveaways throughout the month. It will mean your giveaways are seen by even more people and our comping community will continue to grow.
The new line-up might even give me more time to actually enter and win more giveaways each month, as well as more time for hosting giveaways here (the Blog), there (Instagram) and everywhere (possibly Facebook). I’d say even without a win under my belt, I’m already WINNING this month!

AUGUST GIVEAWAYS
As a side note, my dedicated Linkup page, the one that includes all the specifics on linkups I run together with some of my favourite link parties is currently back in draft mode, while I add a complete list of link parties for every single day of the week. If you host a linkup and would like to be included in that list, I would love to hear from you. All going to plan, the page should be back on the blog later this week.
So excited to be a co-host. Looking forward to watching it grow!
#MummyMondays
Thanks Kell, so pleased to have you on board.
I would gift the second hamper to my step-daughter because she’s going through a lot with her cancer, custody battle, new job, new living arrangements, dodgy car …. I think she could do with a lift. Plus it’s her birthday at the end of August so it would be very timely. Thanks for hosting Raych!
How cool is your latest giveaway Leanne. I will be over soon to enter.
I know how much work running a giveaway can be so I take my hat off to all you gals for running them, and making it easy for us all to find them! If I won, I would give the second hamper to my sis. She has recently separated from her husband and could certainly do with some cheering up x
Sorry to hear about your sister’s marriage. Marriage can be a lot of hard work and compromise, even on a good day.
Looking forward to watching this link up grow. I’m not a blogger but I’ve already won some amazing prizes through the link. If I was lucky enough to win, I would gift both hampers (if allowed?) to two wonderful friends who are going through a tough time. One is battling cancer and the other has just lost her dear hubby.
Thanks Heather, so sorry to hear about your friends. Always appreciate your support and so pleased to hear you’ve won prizes. Keep me posted of any future wins. If you are on Instagram you could share a photo or two and tag me in.
It’s my mother’s 65th birthday later this month, a mystery hamper would be a lovely surprise for her and a wonderful treat for myself.
Happy birthday to your mum. Thanks for entering Jenny.
I would love to give a mystery hamper to my friend who is pregnant with twins, I know she’d really appreciate it and one also for me would be a lovely surprise.
Thanks for entering SuzieJoy.
Congrats on getting Jody and Kell on board – they are definitely well versed in giveaways and do them very well. I just have to wait until I have another one myself to link up! BTW I’d gift my mother-in-law the 2nd hamper should I win. She has done so much for us over the years it would be lovely to give something back to her x
Thanks Kirsty. Looking forward to seeing your next giveaway. My next major one has me back in the kitchen with Kambrook. Can’t wait to share.
I’m linking my first giveaway today! Off to check out your new co-hosts 🙂
Thanks for linking up Jess. Have shared with all my pregnant friends, not that at my age, I have that many.
Another two awesome bloggers that I’ve been following for a while. I’d gift the 2nd hamper to my eldest daughter who has her hands full with a toddler
Thanks Paula.
Love to surprise my Mum with a mystery hamper to thank her for all she does 🙂 Thank you for the chance to win!
Thanks for entering Charl.
I would give it to my Mum, for all her past, present and future babysitting and cooking duties!
LOL I love your future take on this. 😉
Lots of people, perhaps cousin who’s about to have her first bub, or the elderly lady a few houses down who always brings me scones, maybe my mother in law to try and put a smile on the dragon’s dial, or as a bribe to my boss so she approves the holidays I’ve put in for! Just depends on if I win, and when they show up as to who receives # 2!
I wish someone would bring me scones. No one makes them like my late nan use to. Thanks for entering Ern.
My husband as pictured..he is a hamper-a-holic.
Thanks for entering.
I have a friend, Lou, who’s had the worst string of luck that started on the eve of her birthday last year and just keeps piling on top of her – one bad thing after another. Yet through it all, she still looks out for others, offers to help those that need it and is amazingly managing to pick herself up time after time. I’d love to do something to cheer her up…
Sorry to hear about your friend and her run of bad luck. Hopefully things will improve for her soon.
I would give it to my friend Nelly as she is always looking out for me and picking me up when I need it
What a thoughtful friend. Thanks for entering.
I’d give it to my mum as she rarely gets something ‘special’ to enjoy just for herself.
What a thoughtful daughter. Thanks for entering Sonya.
Seeing as I’ve moved to England, I’m figuring that I’m out of the equation for the prizes BUT I’d like to nominate two of my wonderful friends in Perth that gave me an amazing send off at the end of July.
Marian McCrory and Juli Evans – I miss you both so much and think of you everyday. Thanks for our friendship, it means the world to me. Now get saving and get your asses over here to visit us.x
It looked like a fab send off. It was hard to keep it a secret from you. So disappointed I wasn’t well enough to attend in the end.
Hi Raychael. Thanks for the opportunity to link up my own giveaway and be in the running for yours. If I was so lucky, I’d love to have a hamper sent to my best friend in Tasmania. We’ve been online friends for about 7 years and only met once in person. We email every day and have watched each other’s families grow, follow along with each other’s lives and travels and both love food and cooking. This would be a great way for me to show her that she’s always in my thoughts.
Thanks for linking up your giveaway Anne. I’m just playing a game of catch up now. Looking forward to entering and sharing.
I’d send the 2nd one to my sister who is having a crappy couple of weeks.
That doesn’t sound good. Hope things are improving for your sister. Thanks for entering.
My nan and pa would be receiving the second hamper. They’ve gone above and beyond to help me out, and thanks to them I’m now enrolled in a course to land myself my dream job. I don’t often get the chance to treat them, so it would be lovely to have the chance.
How wonderful. Lots of luck with the giveaway and your course Sarah.
I’d gift the second hamper to my sister (and a first-time mummy). We grew up sharing everything together and even now that we live interstate from each other, we still like to share!
Thanks for entering Stacey.
I’d gift the second hamper to my elderly neighbour. She has put up with us for the past 6years and not once complained. Instead she treats my kids as if they were her own grandkids.
What wonderful neighbours. We miss our old neighbours since moving, they were a lot like yours.
Love to surprise my lovely Sister with a hamper she is a fab mum to her 3 little ones and is studying hard as well
Thanks for entering Laura.
I’d send a hamper to my art tutor who has been the one to support and inspire me to get to the stage of my first little exhibition next year!
How exciting for your Jennifer. Would love to hear more.
I would give the hamper to my boss because of late she has been more of a friend than anything else
What a wonderful boss you have Nassep.
I’ve linked up my Giveaway!
I’d gift the second Hamper to my wonderful Father to show my appreciation and love. He has a beautiful relationship with my son, playing soccer with him, watching football matches on TV and playing games together on the iPad. He even takes Mr 8 for weekend stays every few weeks, so hubby and I can enjoy some precious alone time. This would be perfect for Father’s Day!
Di from Max The Unicorn
Alone time… what is that strange thing you speak of? LOL
I’d give the second basket to my girlfriend Linda, she’s down on her luck but just met a new man, I know she’d love to take him on a picnic!
The hamper would certainly make for an interesting picnic.
ohh lol
Any hamper for this Mum of 3 without friends and family around, on Newstart and trying hard to get ahead after 6 years of hell.
Thanks for entering Rosslyn.
Thanks for the mystery and fun. xo
I would gift the second hamper to my local mothers’ group for their upcoming charity event.
What a thoughtful thing to do. Thanks for entering Angela.
If the hamper isn’t too girly, I would love to share it with my father and hubby for Father’s day.
Not too girly, as far as I know. Would definitely work for a gift for your husband or father.
Would love to win a mystery hamper and would gift the 2nd one to my lovely next door neighbour who has looked after my house and dog while I’ve been away with work.
We now have a cat, one that doesn’t take too well to change, so we would love a neighbour that would look after him while we have the odd weekend away. What wonderful neighbours you have.
Just jumping in at the last minute! I am super intrigued by the mystery hamper and keen to check it out. I would give the 2nd one to my friend who just had a baby. Everything is about the baby at the moment and I think a gift hamper for her would put a big smile on her face 🙂
It’s so easy to lose yourself when you start having kids. It is all about them, especially those first 12 months. Hope your friend and the new baby are doing well.
I have two beautiful daughters so I’d give them one each – no fighting that way 😉
Too easy. Thanks for entering.
I’d gift the second hamper to my dear friend who is going through a rough patch.
Sorry to hear that about your friend Mel, thanks for entering.
My mother in law could do with a pick me up. this would be perfect.
Well this mystery hamper would certainly do that. Thanks for entering.
I’d be cheeky, if allowed and keep both hampers to use at an upcoming Frocktober event.
More than allowed and such a wonderful cause. Thanks for entering Justine. Keep me posted with your Frocktober endeavours.
My sister would love a mystery hamper for her birthday next month.
Happy birthday to your sister Donna, thanks for entering.
I would give it to my dear Father, who deserves a little something special after losing three loved ones over the last few years.
So sorry to hear about your losses. Thanks for entering Melissa.
Is it cheating if I nominate my hubby for the second hamper? That way I get to enjoy both.
Not cheating at all. I love your thinking.
My sister, it would take the stress out of shopping for her birthday next week.
I would love to give the other hamper to my son with the reasoning he give some or all back to me as a birthday or christmas present this year for me. As a win/win as a win for him as he’ll have a present for me and win for me as i wont have to give him money for my present from him!!
