Ottawa giveaway alert: win a $100 gift card to terra20
Posted by andrea tomkins in: Fishbowl patrons|Giveaways and product reviews
This giveaway is over and we have a winner! Thanks for your entries everyone!
Regular readers have already heard all about terra20; they’re a Fishbowl patron and also happen to be one of my favourite places to shop in Ottawa. To summarize: terra20’s mission is to encourage a healthier, sustainable lifestyle. Check out their holiday flyer. It’s gorgeous, and will give you an idea as to the kinds of products they carry if you’ve never been.
terra20 is committed to a number of key values that are important to me, and one of those has to do with supporting Canadian businesses. I love to buy Canadian products, but it’s becoming increasingly difficult to do so. I prefer to shop closer to home because I like knowing that my purchase helps our economy, don’t you? There’s a host of great reasons to buy Canadian, which are expertly outlined right here. (I guarantee there’s at least one aspect of shopping Canadian that you haven’t thought of yet!)
terra20 is Canadian (in fact, they’re an Ottawa-based company!) and over a third of the products they carry are made in Canada. There is a lot to choose from, more than any other store I’ve visited in recent memory. And thanks to a smart system of icons, I can see, at a glance, what the product costs, whether it’s sustainable, green certified, and Canadian made. (Yay!)
Some of my personal fave Canadian brands include Cate and Levi and ecojot. I’ve also been eyeballing these Artech recycled beer bottle glasses, and Whitewater Premium eco-soy candles (grapefruit and rosemary for me please!) and I’m seriously thinking of buying a pair of Preloved children’s mittens for the Christmas tree because they’re so adorable I can hardly stand it.
So here’s the good news! terra20 is giving Fishbowl readers a chance to win a $100 gift certificate, just in time for the holidays.
Interested? Please read the following carefully.
- This giveaway is for one gift card with a value of $100.
- This giveaway is void where prohibited by law.
- In order for your entry to qualify, take a look through the terra20 online store and tell us how you’d spend your gift card if you won. Leave a link so we can pad our own Christmas lists! :)
- For a bonus entry, leave a second comment with a link to a different, Canadian-made product you’d like to see under the tree this year. (Hint: the best way to do this is to start in the “Made in Canada” category.)
- Please note, the winner of this giveaway must pick up their gift card at terra20 in a timely manner at the location of their choice (Pinecrest or West Wellington).
- If you can’t post your comment for whatever reason you can email it to me for posting at andrea at quietfish dot com. Please note, I cannot be responsible if your entry is misdirected or gets stuck in my Spam folder.
I will draw one name using Random.org at noon EST on December 5, 2014. I’ll contact the winner via email at that time and post it in the comments below. That’s it! Over to you!
p.s. terra20 is very much a local success story here in Ottawa, and I was thrilled to find out they’re participating in the Shop the Neighbourhood campaign. (You can read more about my participation in that here.) The first 50 people in the Wellington West store on November 29 will receive a $10 terra20 gift card. All the more reason to drop by and get your holiday shopping underway!
