*** This giveaway is no longer accepting entries – see who won below! ***
Good news – the prize pot is now up to over $500! Even better news (at least for one lucky person) random.org has selected our winner as… Karina (who notes that both teaching and learning to share is hard, just ask her kiddos). Congrats Karina!
As we mentioned last week along with our curator collection, Joss & Main offers small referral fees in the form of store credit to anyone who refers someone who makes a purchase, but we wanted to pay those forward. So instead of accepting the referral fees, we saved all of those credits up in a separate “gift account” so we could dish ‘em out in a big fat giveaway for one lucky reader this week. Oh and Joss & Main kindly donated $100 to get things rolling (and to ensure that we didn’t have nada to give away if no one signed up, haha). But guess what? It earned over $300 worth of referral credits! So if you add in the $100 from Joss & Main, the prize pot is up to over $400 for one lucky winner to spend on whatever they’d like!
- PRIZE: Ownership of the special Joss & Main referral account that we’ve set up, which has an account credit of $430!
- TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “SHARE ME” and tell us…
- BONUS QUESTION: … a funny / touching / harrowing sharing story. Maybe about the time you had to share a hotel room with your boss on a business trip? Or the challenges of teaching your kids to share? Or a memory of when you and your siblings shared a bathroom / car / wardrobe growing up?
- GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, April 4th at 8pm EST or at 10,000 entries (whichever comes first)
- NUMBER OF WINNERS: One
- PRIZE SHIPS: The lower 48 United States (although we do try to wrangle as many international giveaways as possible)
- USUAL STUFF: One entry per e-mail address is permitted. The winner will be selected using random.org and announced on Thursday as an update to this post. That’s right, come right back here on Thursday for the announcement of our winner. Good luck…
Note: We aren’t paid or perked for hosting these giveaways, we just do ‘em to thank you awesome folks for stopping in. See our Giveaway FAQ page for more info. Pics courtesy of Joss & Main.

Sara says
SHARE ME!! When I was growing up I had to share a bed with my little sister because our house was so small. It was rough but now we laugh about it.

I shared a bedroom with my sister nearly my entire childhood while our younger brother always had his own room. I was very jealous of him and desperately wanted my own room! Wouldn’t ya know that every night, our little brother would end up climbing in bed with us?
Megan says
SHARE ME!
For my birthday year, my best friend knew I hadn’t planned on doing much (with a 6 month old), so she came to visit and planned a whole baby/mom/bff day! It was one of the best things anyone has ever done for me.

i shared a bed with my husband’s sister practically the second time i met her. we were out of town for my husband’s godson’s christening, and there was only one bed to be had. needless to say, we became fast friends long before we were sisters-in-law. :)

Randi says
Share me! This reminds me of sharing a bedroom with my sister. We had bunk beds and when we would quarrel it often involved acrobatics. Lol.

My worst sharing story happen at work. We have an annual sales meeting and one year my “normal” roommate was not attending the meeting, so I got paired up randomly with a girl I didn’t know. Upon meeting her for the first time in the room, she says hello, and then states plainly that she sleeps naked and asks me if I mind. “Actually I do mind”, I said. “Could you just wear clothes to bed for the 3 days we are here?” She was really annoyed for the rest of the trip. It was pretty weird but made for a great story!

Since I am an only child, my first sharing experience came when I went to college and had a roommate in the dorm. There were some growing pains, but it was a good thing to have experienced.
Ryan says
Share me! My wife makes me “share” everything I eat.
Jennifer Vanucci says
SHARE ME!!
I always insist that my hubby share his dinner with me in restaurants, then refuse to share any of mine with him! I am greedy like that :)
I think you should definitely share this $400 credit with me, though. I will share pictures of what I buy with you!

Jackie says
SHARE ME! I definitely had to sleep toes to nose with my younger brother on a twin sized bed in my parents first RV….which didn’t have a shower so you can imagine how his feet smelled!
Carey says
SHARE ME! I am the only child so sharing is not something that comes natural to me. Especially dessert!
kayla says
share me…
to four people sharing a tiny bathroom for my entire life
Rachael says
SHARE ME… my parents felt strongly that sibling rivalry was unacceptable. My brother and I learned early on that as long as we shared nicely and didn’t fight we could get away with just about anything else. Unfortunately for my folks, this taught us to team up against them at an early age.

This time of year always reminds of me the Easter when my bother and I (4 and 6 years old) took all the plastic grass out of our Easter baskets and threw it up into the moving ceiling fans in our playroom. We got in a LOT of trouble for that mess!

On our first date, my husband shared a piece of his steak with me. I knew he was the one after sharing his dinner with me! Ha!
Amanda D says
SHARE ME! A couple weeks ago, I was going through the Dunkin’s drive thru to pick up a coffee for my boss and an iced tea for myself when the person in line ahead of me paid for both my drinks! Just waiting for a day when I have some extra money (and someone in line behind me) to pay it forward. :)

my husband + i recently moved from colorado to texas- and sold my car before we did. … and then two months later, we had a baby! we share our jeep- and it’s actually not a hassle at all! especially when we don’t have to make two car payments!
Julia H. says
SHARE ME! I have had to share a small townhouse for 6 years with my hubby but we are moving in 2 weeks to our first single family home and could use some “Joss”! Thanks YHL!
Jennifer says
SHARE ME.
sharing hotel room really tells you about someone. I hate the people that just throws their stuff everywhere!
Tricia says

I knew it was love when my new guy (now fiance) always offered to share his food ;)
Angela Emory says
SHARE ME! Being a twin meant we had to share everything. We shared a bedroom, clothes, toys, and a car. Now that we are older it’s nice to have our own things, however, we do still share clothes from time to time:)

When I was in 7th grade my mom got a job as a programmer at WDW. We moved down there, but there were not many places to live at the time. We bought an RV. So, for the next year and a half, I lived in a 28 foot RV with my mom. Talk about sharing space! (We still laugh about some of the teenage stories!)
Blanca A. says
“SHARE ME” sharing a room with my younger sister (5yrs younger!! ) sucked!
Nichole says

I have 3 and 4 year old daughters and they can’t seem to share anything! Hoping that eventually they will grow out of it?!?! (not likely, I know!)
Lindsay says
Share me! If only I could teach my 4 year old to share with my 1 year old ;)
Vonda says

My brother & I had serious issues sharing. It usually didn’t happen.
Rachel says
SHARE ME! I shared a small room with my sister growing up. I didn’t always enjoy it then, but now I’m thankful for how close we are because of it.
Jenny says
Share Me! Shared a car with a Mastiff on a cross country trip on Christmas Eve. We got two states away from our destination and had our engine blow up- so then had to share a small hotel room with a BIG dog (and put a new engine on our credit card!)
Rachael says
Share me! Is it touching that I still get sad dropping my three-month-old foster daughter off at daycare every morning?
Kelly says
SHARE ME! My sister and I fought like crazy growing up, and were not good sharers. Except at night, when we shared a little twin bed to keep away the monsters! Ah, childhood memories.

Laura Martin says
“SHARE ME!” I lived in a sorority for two years and had to share a room with 100 other girls each night when we were trying to sleep. Even better? I had to share the room with 100 alarm clocks every morning. Collage was fun, but I am gratefully I don’t have to share my bedroom now with anyone besides my husband!
MISSY says
Share me! I shared a room with my sister until high school.
Veronica K says
SHARE ME: I was an only child so I wasnt used to sharing, my friends would come over and I would only let them play with certain toys. Fast forward 20 years, now I live with my husband and I am finally learning to share everything, I am still having a hard time when it comes to food… hehehe

I’ll share just about anything with my best friends except Mascara! I saw a gross video when I was younger about gross things that can grow/live in there and it scarred me!

As a newlywed I thought it was fantastic that the hubs left the door to the bathroom unlocked while he showered:)Imagine me in the kitchen smiling to myself as I cheerfully filled a giant pitcher with ice water. Discovering he screams that high made this a monthly occurrence:) He is 6’3″ & 250lbs.
A big move, a house and a baby later I forgot about my shenanigans until one day I was nursing my daughter and the hubs trotted past me with a brimming pitcher of ice water. His best friend was living with us at the time. He is also a 6′ 250lb man… and a soprano:)I was proud.
Liz says
Share me :-) I’m an excellent sharer. I just shared my comps cards- flash cards with comprehensive terms for a super massive test i will be taking in 10 days (!) with a class mate….oh god I hope she returns them :-/
Jennifer Peters says
Share me! I grew up in a house built in 1910 with one bathroom and no shower. It amazes me now to think that six people peacefully shared one old tub each night to get clean (not at the same time).
