Hi folks, it’s Wednesday & yet again we have another great Pinterest Contest for you! The whole idea is getting the highest number of repins on one of your pins from Tophatter.

How it works:

1. You pin a Tophatter item: it could be your item, an item you covet, a friend’s item - anything on Tophatter.

2. You share it with as many people as you can & garner repins. Try to get the highest number of repins on your pin. (Suggestions: awesome commentary, pinning it to a highly engaged board, selecting pin-worthy images, etc. It’s up to you to gauge what pin will do the best!).

3. Email promotions@tophatter.com with a link to that pin. Each entry is an individual pin, meaning one person can enter numerous pins as separate entries. 

4. The pinner of the individual pin with the most number of repins wins a gift basket of their choice!

This contest will run from today Aug 8 until Aug 14 at 11:59PM PT. All entries must be submitted by then. The winner will be selected on Aug 15.

Prizes: There are eight (8) products, you get to choose your favorite three (3)!

Below: 

Pura Kiki: The Safe Modern Feeding System - BPA free bottle that grows with your child!

Sweeteeth: Dark Chocolate.

Tru Melange: aromatherapy candles made of beeswax & soy (1 box of 6 candles).

Glass Dharma: the original glass straw + hemp sleeve (4 straws).
