eBay's Love to Give campaign + $100 gift card unwrap attack {giveaway}
Sunday, December 5, 2010 at 11:00AM eBay is celebrating this holiday season in style with their Love to Give campaign. Ever witness an "unwrap attack"? You know, when someone unwraps their gift and goes completely hysterical after seeing what's inside?
On eBay's Love to Give website you will find a series of webisodes from Samantha Bee along with a gallery of consumer-created unwrap attack videos that showcase some of the most hilarious and heartwarming gift giving and receiving moments captured on video – moments of pure emotion when people receive that
just-right gift.
I'll let Samantha tell you a little more about it:
{giggle}
That is just one of six hilarious webisodes. My favorite is The Unwrap Attack Family.
For the record, I totally want to be Samatha Bee when I grow up. She cracks me up. (If you're wondering where you've seen her before - it's probably from The Daily Show with Jon Stewart.)
I still remember my very own unwrap attack moment. I was 12 years old. My dad - who HATED cats - gave me a kitten that year for Christmas. I totally freaked ... and then I cried. To this day, it was the best gift EVER. Unfortunately, all I have is my memory of the moment. We didn't have a video camera back then.
eBay is hoping to inspire moms to create their own unwrap attack moment for their family members. I don't know about you, but I often search eBay before making online purchases because you can often find great deals. Plus, they always have those impossible-to-locate gifts - yes, I'm talking to YOU, 2009 ZhuZhu Pets.
They have a new Facebook app called the eBay Unwrap Attack Creator which allows you to see your loved ones having an unwrap attack before the holidays. You can upload their picture, choose a gift on eBay and watch how they react when seeing that just-right gift.
Get this...eBay is offering one lucky Mommycosm Reader a $100 gift certificate to use on their site. That certainly could help you create your very own unwrap attack moment this holiday, you think?

These days the thing that would give me an unwrap attack would be a laptop (or any device that is portable and allows me to get on the internet) Since I know it is unaffordable at this time, I would seriously have an unwrap attack if it were to happen.
I have only purchased something from ebay once ....wouldn't mind doing a little bit of shopping there this year for the holidays :)
Opening a shiny new iPad would totally give me an unwrap attack this year. My hubby knows it's on my wishlist but I don't think he'd really buy it so it would be a total surprise if he did.
Opening an engagement ring from my boyfriend would certainly give me an unwrap attack. I'm not expecting it really until after I meet his parents for Christmas, but it sure would be a nice surprise :)
The thing that would cause me to have an unwrap attack would be if I received a Nintendo Wii.
I think our famillys best unwrap attack was last year, when my son got an xbox. He was begging for one for a couple of years and finacially we're not in the position to spend that much on just one of our kids. However, I saved and also sold a number of items on Ebay and was able to come up with the money...anyway, on Christmas morning, it was the last gift unwrapped and when my son opened it, he got so excited and emotional...here's this big tuff kid, getting teary eyed. He got so excited that he backed up into the tree and nearly knocked it over. I still laugh and get tears in my eyes when I think how much he appreciated this gift. Thanks so much for this great giveaway!

The best unwrap attack was not for Christmas but for my grandsons bday. He wanted Buzz Lightyear and when he unwrapped it I thought he was gonna go nutsm he is 5 by the way. This Christmas the best unwrap attack would be for him to unwrap a xbox 360. He has talked about one for a year and I just can't afford to buy one.
One of those cool new 3D televisions would give me an unwrap attack.
A new television for our family room would definitely give me an unwrap attack this year. Ours just went caput. :(
Honestly, the thing that would bring on the biggest unwrap attack in my household would be cloth diapers. Yes, diapers. I know it isn't glamorous, but we have an 11 month old and another due next month, and we have decided to switch to cloth diapering. We have made this very clear to family and friends, but for whatever reason, when planning our shower they ALL decided to completely ignore our wishes and no one helped get us diapers. Instead, they decided to get us kid's books...which we already have over 500 of! So as it stands, when our son is born, we won't have anything to cover his butt!
An engagement ring would cause me to have an unwrap attack! My boyfriend and I have been together 4 years and I think we're getting closer to that special day!

Anything from Marc Jacobs, Burberry or Oscar de la Renta would give me an unwrap attack!
my unwrap attack would come from unwrapping a laptop. i've never had one.
I once hid a pair of ruby and diamond earrings inside a dust buster and put it under the tree for my wife. The look she gave me when she unwrapped the box was almost lethal, but turned priceless once I convinced her to check out all the accessories in the box.
Oh man, if I got a KitchenAid Stand Mixer I would have a total unwrap attack!
a day at the four seasons spa -- fighting cancer right now and heard this was a healing place

I would love to give my parents an unwrap attack since they have given me so many throughout the years!
An Ipad would definitely give me an unwrap attack!!! Please Santa.
Man, that's a tough one. I think if I had to choose something, I would choose to get a new balisong :D (google it)
If I even suspected there was an iPad or an eReader under my tree, the paper would be flyin', sister!
the gift that would give me an unwrap gift would be a mac air book! i want one!
I would love to get a new bicycle.
I would have a fanatic unwrap attack if there is a new laptop for me under the tree this year
A blackberry torch would give me an unwrap attack this holiday
I have been wanting a diamond necklace for some years now but it's not in the budget (by far!) so that would definitely give me an unwrap attack! Thank you for the giveaway!
