How the Giveaway Worked
To enter, participants were asked to leave a comment on the post with the words “MOB ME” and to answer a quick bonus question about a recent local purchase they loved. The bonus question encouraged responses like: Did you enjoy an amazing cupcake from a neighborhood bakery? Did you buy a piece of art at a local craft fair? Or did you support a local group like the Girl Scouts by picking up a favorite treat? Sharing those local purchases was a fun way to celebrate community makers and neighborhood businesses.
- Entry limit: One entry per e-mail address was permitted.
- Selection method: Winners were selected at random using random.org.
- Announcement: Winners were announced as an update to the original post on Thursday.
Technical Notes and Help
If you tried to enter but received a “duplicate comment” warning, there was a link in the original entry instructions to help troubleshoot that issue. The giveaway post also referenced a Giveaway FAQ for more details about rules and logistics.

Why Shop Local?
Supporting local artisans and small businesses helps keep creative communities thriving. When you buy from independent makers you often get a one-of-a-kind item, the story behind the product, and a direct impact on someone’s livelihood. Whether it’s an edible treat from a nearby bakery, handcrafted home goods, or original artwork discovered at a craft fair, those purchases add personality to your life and strengthen community ties.
Thanks to everyone who entered and to Scoutmob for partnering on this giveaway. If you missed this round, keep an eye on the site for future giveaways and more chances to discover and support local makers.
