WHAT would I do with $1K to Amazon.com?! It’s going to sound awful boring to some . . . I’d go supplement shopping. I have one boy with Autism, and another we suspect has it, and all four of our kids have varying digestive issues, so $1K would go far.

I would also like to stock the kitchen with pantry items not found in store, so that it is easier to be full Paleo. I especially want to get the gelatin. Most of all , I would like to get my mom everything she needs for her kitchen, so that she can prepare Paleo/Primal meals for my little sister.
Marsha says
Awesome. I’d actually use most of it to bless others that I hardly know. 🙂 Fun!!!!
Lindsey says
I would buy a year’s supply of household goods – would be a HUGE savings to my budget and probably make me cry with joy 🙂

I’ve been battling several autoimmune conditions since I was a young teenager and proper nourishment has been my saving grace.

This would literally be a lifesaver for me!
Tari says
I would use this gift card for my son and I. He has plenty of toys, so I would use it for books and clothes. For me, I would use it to help me pay for my expensive textbooks.

Elizabeth Peshia says
I am trying to slowing stock my pantry and kitchen with whole, healthy foods for me and my new husband. I have type 1 diabetes and my husband is lactose intolerant. So we are always looking for food to help both of us stay healthy. Paycheck to paycheck I have to make decisions on what to buy and what to pass up till next time. I would LOVE to start our marriage/family off with healthy foods that will keep us happy and healthy!!! 🙂 Your blog has helped me a lot with ideas on how to make living paleo-ish a reality for us!
LibbyLabel says
I would gratefully use the Amazon card for “special” ingredients that I can’t find around here, I would like a lot of different canning supplies/gadgets, I would order lots of books and cookbooks on Paleo and I would probably pay it forward and get a friend started with supplies/books,cookbooks to start a healthy lifestyle!

Jessica Hicks says

Krista laird says
I would definitely stock my pantry with all kinds of healthy goodies.

Mandy P. says
With $1000 I would stock up on some organic, non-GMO things that I can’t find locally. We’re in a small town and our grocery and specialty stores are very limited in the paleo-friendly goods they carry so I have to improvise a lot. I would also add to my children’s home library. I home school both of my kiddos and there are so many beautiful books I would like them to read that aren’t in the library!

I would buy a new blender and thine some essential oils and a Himalayan salt lamp 🙂 thanks for the awesome give away!!!
jessica says

I’d love to buy a Vitamix but what I would really need to do is buy some clothes that fit my husband and me since we’ve both lost so much weight since going Paleo, but we don’t have the money to buy them. He’s not working and we never buy anything for ourselves. It would be so awesome to splurge on something just for us, for once!
Jessica says
I would love to win because it would allow me to spread the holiday cheer! I would help me buy a refrigerator which I am in dire need of. I hope I win!

Cheryl Goodall says
First of all, what an amazing generous gift!!! I would 10% to our local church. Second, I would love to provide to my family, friends, and co-workers an all PALEO gift basket.

Kasey Gerhart says
After paying off a credit card (being honest!), we would get our little girl a trampoline for the backyard (with a safety net of course). I believe strongly in getting kids outside as often as possible, and that would be a wonderful way to do it, especially since she is such a little jumping bean already. My hubby has also been dreaming of a new knife set…so I can see that in his future.
mandie says
I would use this gift card to help buy my daughter family members presents for christmas and supplies for my bakery that ive been unable to afford.

Chelsea says
This is exciting! I would use some of it to help out a family in need. Also, ever since we started paleo a lot of people have asked how we do it, therefore I would buy a few cookbooks for them. I also would invest in a few things I’d like for our kitchen to make paleo easier! Kitchen aid mixer and dehydrator for sure!
Roxy says
I started a new adventure this past fall……I’m homeschooling my two kids. We desperately need a new laptop. My oldest does the majority of her work on the computer, however, that means we all have to schedule time in front of it now. We need odds and ends around the house. We are still in the process of setting up desks and work stations. We need better art supplies and research books. I am a project oriented person, we need more materials!!! That’s what I would use the $ for, my children’s education!

First off…bless you for your generous giving! May you be abundantly blessed in return! With $1000 gift card, I would purchase my 4 nephews (all have December birthdays) their birthday AND Christmas gifts! Then I would purchase equipment for our new volleyball club. I am a military wife and in our current town volleyball is pretty unheard of. We are trying to gather funds to pay for military kiddos who financially can’t afford to play volleyball. By purchasing equipment with an amazon gift card we could use our equipment money to offer more scholarships! Lastly any remaining money I would use to buy board game for Operation Home Front for military families. Again bless you for your generous spirit of giving this Christmas season!

Some day want my own goat and chickens too!!! After having my 3rd son last year I was diagnosed with Mild Congestive Heart Failure and only at 24!!! I started doing my research, and how the food I was eating could be affecting my body! But thanks to you, some others like you, and my weight loss surgeon I have already almost dropped 100 pounds in less than 6 months! Also, I have reversed some of the heart failure, and I am confident I will reverse it completely! Me getting healthy for my children is my number one goal, and teaching my children about healthy food is my second goal! Even if I don’t win I want to say keep doing what you are doing!

I will give it to my husband’s family of 11 adopted kids still living at home {19 all together – first generation gone – 19th child they are in the process of adopting}. Foster/adopt ministry many with special needs coming from broken homes. They moved out to east Texas a couple of years ago from the Dallas area to give these kids a better life on a farm. It is what they always wanted, so they bought over 100 acres and now raise organic pastured raised meats available to the public. Their farm is HindsFeet Farm. They’ve really done an amazing job with these kids growing up in a Christian environment and having this farm means the world to them. That is how they are supporting themselves with the farm, they really don’t have much money despite their growing success, it’s still starting out and difficult for them and often hear of how they are struggling and need us to help them out financially. I would give them the $1000 to make this an amazing Christmas for them. They deserve it so much, for all the work they do not just on the farm but for others. They have so much going on yet they continue to volunteer their time to help care for those in need. They’ve done so much for everyone around them, including me and my family. I would love to give this to them and help make this Christmas one they will never forget. I can’t even describe how much of a blessing this would be. They’re truly one amazing family who gives everything they got and asks nothing in return, except love.

Any money left over would be used to stock up on herbs, nuts, seeds, and food items that I can’t find in our little mountain community (chia seeds, various oils, quinoa, etc.)

Books, books, books! I want to support so many authors out there in the “natural health” community, but haven’t been able to afford to purchase a lot of extra stuff lately.
Suzi Johnson says
Well, I already bought presents for my kids, so MAYBE I could get a present or two for myself. 🙂
Jennifer Rice says
I am a SAHM of four children. I have recently returned to work part-time as a substitute teacher making $8/hr. I’ve applied other places but this job is all I can find for the time being. My husband works for the United States Army (civilian). The recent government furloughs have absolutely killed us. We have no money for Christmas this year. We are barely affording food. This gift card would save Christmas for my family this year. Thanks for the opportunity and for sharing your lives with us through your blogs.

Honestly I am not sure! I think I would save it for a rainy day 🙂
Kate Davis says
Oh boy I would love to win this. Unfortunately things are tight this year and we are making the best of it but this would really take the pressure off us. I would even buy toys to donate.
Tif Smith says
With $1000, I’d finally buy that VitaMix blender, a Kitchen Aid mixer, annnnnd a fancy dehydrator. Ha. I’d probably also pick up a water filter, too. It’d be the best new home/Christmas celebratory purchase party ever. 🙂
Christy says
Would love to win this. I buy a lot of things on Amazon and could use this money for buying bulk. 🙂
Heather says
I would help to finish the remodel of my 100+ year old farmhouse kitchen. I’ve seen tiles on amazon that I’d love to get for the back splash, as well as lighting fixtures, faucets, etc. It has been 8 months that my cabinets have been up on casters & the floor is just plywood. We are “do it ourself-ers & kinda old school. Our family calls us Ma & Pa Kettle. I’ve been extremely patient & my husband has been very busy, but I think having things provided, he might feel a greater sense of urgency. Merry Christmas to you & thank you for this blog. I enjoy reading & the changes it has brought to my life.
Amber Brazell says
Coconut oil! Haha.. And more groceries. And I’d probably try and get ahead with the gift giving for the following year. 🙂

Taking my Florida-born children to see snow for the first time!

Thank you so much for your generosity and the generosity of your fellow sponsors! This money would be such a blessing to our family for many reasons. With it, I would purchase things my daughter needs while undergoing treatment for infantile scoliosis and physical therapy to help increase her mobility. Currently, we are scraping up our pennies to provide what she needs and this would truly help take some of the weight off of our shoulders. I hope that you and yours have a wonderful holiday season!
Gina W. says
I would get more cookware and cookbooks to continue to be more Paleo! My hubby and I aren’t doing gifts this year to prepare for baby #3. This would allow the two of us to have a Christmas too! 🙂

I would first throw a super fun holiday party for my friends and family that would include so many yummy Paleo treats! Then I would use it to supply my husband and I with plenty of paleo staples-including grass-fed beef, coconut oil, almond flour, cacao, herbs, coconut of every form, and gelatin! I would also love to buy several of the ingredients you use for your homemade beauty products. It would be such a blessing for sure! 🙂 Thank you!
Lynne Andress says
I have adopted the Paleo lifestyle to help my MS, so I would use the gift card to purchase some kitchen equipment like a good blender and spiralizer, supplements and food items that are hard to come by locally. Thanks for the opportunity to enter.

Jen R says
I would be so overwhelmed with that amount, but would start with restocking my kitchen and treating my family to many surprises!!
Jennifer says
I would immediately purchase a few books that I’ve wanted plus the Little House Books and Anne of Green Gables Books for my little girls and the rest would go towards birthday gifts, anniversary gifts, and other needs throughout the year.

Christmas shopping for others and a little something for myself 🙂 thinking about an iPad since I don’t have one yet (I know, I’m WAY Behind the times)
Angie says
I will use it to buy all the paleo goodies on amazon!
I live in venezuela and grass-fed/organic/gluten-free are foreign concepts so I spend a good part of my paycheck buying ghee and other substitutes that will make my life easier in terms of eating healthy to get rid of the health problems I have…
Ok, i will also use it to buy wrist bands and rings for crossfit practice!? maybe my first pair of olys? 🙂
Lori says

I would use the gift card for Christmas presents for my daughter and other family members, I also would use some of it to buy gifts for a co-worker who is going through a rough time around the holidays.
Anna Grahn says
I would buy so many expensive cooking ingredients I never get to work with, truffle salt, saffron, and maybe some le creuset cookware! Man would that be great.

Wow, with $1000 I would buy a VitaMix and a Le Creuset dutch oven, as well as a few SCD safe cookbooks (like Against All Grain). I am on round #2 of treatment for SIBO and in phase 1 of the Specific Carbohydrate Diet, while battling adrenal fatigue and hormonal imbalance. (It’s all tied together.) This cash would help the healing process by making my kitchen an easier place to work.
April says
Christmas would be spectacular this year!! 🙂
Andrea R. says
If I were lucky enough to win, I would use the 1,000 to buy things for my family that we need. New socks, snow boots, hats, gloves, coats (it’s cold outside)!! Whatever was left I would save to use to buy things that we needed as they came up. I am surprised at what you can buy on amazon…pretty much anything 🙂

Carol Newman says
Just having any extra $$ makes one breathe a little easier! We’ve already cut down in so many areas like no cable, no going to the movies, no elaborate spending, used cars, etc. What a blessing to have a little extra to spend on incidentials or birthday gifts for kids, etc. Whoever wins will be blessed indeed!
Coretta says
An awesome shopping spree for my daughter! She turns 18 1 week after Christmas!
Jennifer says
Since I am a stay at home mom and we are a one income family, this money would be a huge help to buy presents for my son. Also, a gift for my husband who works so hard to support our family. Early learning toys for my son, and anything to do with grilling for my hubs!
Ashley says
I would buy gifts for the family we adopted for Christmas.
