Enter to Win Our “April Showers” Give-Away

CONTEST

Everyone knows that a new shower head can be a stylish, water-conserving improvement for any bathroom—but why stop there, when you could win the Delta shower head of your choice plus $2,000 to jump-start your dream bath remodel in Bob Vila’s “April Showers” Give-Away?

ENTER BOB VILA’S “APRIL SHOWERS” GIVE-AWAY

Today and every day in April (until 11:59 a.m. EST, May 1, 2013), you can enter to win one of four Delta shower heads (options shown below) in addition to a $2,000 Visa gift card!

 

Delta Showerheads

Delta's (clockwise from top left) In2ition® Two-in-One Shower, Dryden, Contemporary, and Transitional shower heads, each with H2Okinetic Technology

Each shower head features Delta’s H2Okinetic™ technology—an innovative internal system that controls the speed, movement, and water droplet size to create a custom shower experience like no other. The shower actually sculpts water into a unique wave pattern that provides more coverage, more intensity, and more warmth (since the larger water droplets retain their temperature longer). Best of all, you get the feeling of more water without actually using more water.

So, go ahead: CHOOSE YOUR SHOWER HEAD and seize your opportunity to win $2,000. Remember, you can enter Bob Vila’s “April Showers” Give-Away daily to increase your odds of winning.

Last Chance to Win $500 in Our DIY Dollars Give-Away!

CONTEST

DIY Dollars Giveaway - Week 4Today kicks off WEEK 4—the final week of our DIY Dollars Give-Away—your last chance to WIN a $500 Do It Yourself Home Improvement™ gift card this month. (Entry period for WEEK FOUR is from 12:00 p.m. EST, Friday, February 22, 2013 until 11:59 a.m. EST, Friday, March 1, 2013. See Official Rules below.)

With spring just around the corner, just imagine the major home improvement upgrades you could achieve with an extra $500:

Open the Door. The front door is the first and last thing a visitor sees of your house. With a little extra room in your wallet, you can finally give your entryway the attention it deserves, whether it’s a fresh coat of paint or a brand-new fiberglass door.

Go Green. Put the extra cash toward updating your drafty windows, or replace an older appliance with a high-efficiency model. Remember, going green means saving green on your monthly utilities!

Clean it up. If you’ve been meaning to deep-clean your carpets, now is the perfect time. Rent a carpet cleaner and breath new life into your rooms. You can spend the leftover money towards a top-of-the-line vacuum cleaner.

Update Your Toolbox. Take your toolbox out of 1975 and into the 21st century! Use $500 to get yourself a handy new cordless drill, a laser level, or a magnetic stud finder—or all three.

Jump-start your garden. While it still might be chilly where you live, in a couple of weeks you’ll have your hands finger-deep in the garden. Think of how many plants, bushes, and shrubs you could add to your garden with $500!

Be sure to enter Bob Vila’s DIY Dollars Give-Away daily to increase your odds of winning. Do It Yourself Home Improvement™ gift cards from InComm are redeemable at thousands of home improvement retailers in the U.S. where Discover cards are accepted, including The Home Depot, True Value, Sears, Sherwin-Williams, Restoration Hardware, Lumber Liquidators and Menard’s.

With spring just around the corner, imagine what you could do with an additional $500 towards an improvement at home:

Paint something. With a gallon of paint starting at around $25 you could certainly afford to freshen up a neglected room—or two or three. Or give your home’s exterior a fresh new coat and color.

Add some curb appeal. With $500 you could easily replace your front door, purchase some new exterior light fixtures, and add a planter or two to dress up the entryway.

Get organized. Use $500 to splurge on closet organizers, bins, shelving units and wall-mounted storage solutions to bring order to messy closets and cluttered attics, basements, and garages.

Jump-start your garden. While it still might be chilly where you live, in a couple of weeks you’ll have your hands finger-deep in the garden. Think of how many plants, bushes, and shrubs you could add to your garden with $500?

Install a patio or deck. While $500 might not be enough to cover the entire cost, it will come in handy as you plan your dream summer patio or deck. Have one already? Then put the money toward a new grill or a comfy, stylish outdoor furniture set!
