Zhu Zhu Pet Giveaway: Win Jilly or Winkie!!

Bridgette and I are still in a state of shock over the traffic and attention our recent post about How to score a Zhu Zhu Pet generated.  Our article was featured in a post by the LA Times which brought thousands of new visitors to The Not-So-Blog!  Best of all, our readers gave tips on how to really accomplish the nearly impossible feat of scoring your very own Num Nums or one of his cuddly buddies.  Zhu Zhu fans came together on our post for one common goal and many have found the coveted hamsters due to the generosity of strangers.  Thanks, faithful readers!

Lo and behold as word of Zhu Zhu mania traveled, Bridgette and I were giddy with Zhu Zhu delight.  Katie Couric even had a feature about Zhu Zhu Pets on the CBS evening news!   I was grateful to Katie for validating the Zhu Zhu craziness as many people thought I was clinically insane for waiting in line at the Wal Mart for hours to get one.  Katie helped prove that I did not need to be carried off by the men in the white coats.   Thanks, Katie!

Luckily, both Bridgette and I have acquired the coveted hamsters and some accessories for our girls for Christmas.  The best part is that we were able to get them without swallowing any acorns or formally changing our names to Mr. Squiggles and Num Nums.   A few days ago, my phone starts chirping like crazy with multiple text messages.   It was Bridgette, asking if I am sitting down, because she has REALLY.  BIG.  NEWS.  I thought for sure it must be Oprah, wanting us to come to her show and talk about the infamous Zhu Zhu.

"You get a Zhu Zhu!  And you get a Zhu Zhu!  Everybody gets a Zhu Zhu!"
"You get a Zhu Zhu! And you get a Zhu Zhu! Everybody gets a Zhu Zhu!"
It wasn’t Oprah.  What could be better than Oprah?  Well, it was Cepia, LLC, who are the brainiacs behind  Zhu Zhu Pets.    They loved our Top Ten list so much they sent us two Zhu Zhu Pets that are NOT YET AVAILABLE IN STORES!!  Move over Pipsqueak, because the Not So Blog is the ONLY place you can get the brand new additions to the Zhu Zhu Pet family, Jilly (the pink one) or Winkie (the black and white one) BEFORE THE HOLIDAYS!  You heard us right, one lucky reader will be able to choose either Jilly or Winkie, the all new Zhu Zhu Pets for 2010!  Can you imagine your child’s face when he or she wakes up on Christmas Day to a Zhu Zhu Pet that no one else can even get their hands on yet?  Oprah might be calling you instead!

We are so excited to offer this giveaway!  Thank you so much, Cepia, LLC for being so generous!  As I pondered over how exactly I wanted to handle this giveaway, I thought it would be fun to have you video yourselves acting like hamsters, or have people ACTUALLY do one of our Top Ten ways to score a Zhu Zhu and provide video evidence, but in the interest of time (and because we are so darn nice), we will just ask the following:

  10. My daughter would be delighted with ANY zhu zhu pet. I have looked EVERYWHERE for them! Goo luck to everyone, someone will be excited this holiday!

  11. Its incredible how a simple Toy has so high demand
    people are literally fighting to get this thing before
    they are sold out.

    The main problem is that many third party sellers
    are reselling them for up to $50 dollars.

    Here is a tip that im going to use to get one of those
    for $12 dollars before the holidays.

    I will monitor Amazon.com with FrontLineGrabber.com
    so it notifies me with a sound alarm the second the
    zhu zhu pets become available in Amazon.com in-stock at
    retail price.

  29. Hi Experimental Mommy,

    I LOVE your blog! I am out of my mind excited for this contest!!! My daughter is 7 years old and her name is Jill and she is absolutely obsessed with Zhu Zhus! Unfortunately, we have not been able to find ANY hamsters or accessories other than blankets. She is so heartbroken and has written no less than 20 emails to Santa pleading that she will be the best mommy ever to her new baby if only she could get a Zhu Zhu pet for Christmas! I almost fell off my chair when I saw that the new hamster you are giving away is not only pink (her favorite color but named JILLY!!! She would be absolutely over-the-moon excited if she won this toy! please enter us in the contest and I will be holding my breath from now until the 11th!!

    Thanks,
    Suzanne Turner

  30. My daughter wanted Chunk for her birthday few weeks ago. Sadly, it was nowhere to be found. It was too over price on ebay. Thank you for the giveaway.
