***This giveaway is no longer accepting entries***
This may be my favorite freebie title of all time. Is it the name of a band? Is it the newest Pixar film? Nope, it’s just the two words that describe the options that this week’s SIX winners will get to choose from thanks to Cardboard Safari. They’re the makers of cool, quirky animal trophies that are formed entirely out of intersecting pieces of laser-cut cardboard. So if you ever wanted that big moose head on your wall but didn’t have the heart to bust out your inner-Palin, they’ve got you covered.
In fact, Cardboard Safari is so environmentally friendly that their cardboard is all recycled, non-toxic and made locally. They’re actually based in nearby Charlottesville, VA and we’ve bumped into their quirky, cool products all over town lately (our friend Noah even helped design their skull-themed products) so we figured it was about time we did a giveaway with them.
And just as the post title suggests, we’re giving away two of their newer products as they continue to expand beyond their signature trophies. This week’s winners will get to choose from their new Full-Body Rhino OR Astro Rocket (shown above). Each comes in three sizes in either brown or white cardboard (though they’re entirely paintable if you’d prefer, say, a pink rhino). They’re shipped flat and assembly is easy (kinda like a fun puzzle).
In fact, you can check out the video below of us putting together the – prepared to be shocked – small white rhino that we snagged for our very own home. You know how Sherry is about white animal accessories. You can also watch the video here on YouTube if the video isn’t working for you below. The whole thing took us about 15 minutes, not including a bathroom break for a certain four-legged family member.
Here are your giveaway details for this week:
- PRIZE: Full-Body Rhino or Astro Rocket of any size and color from Cardboard Safari (each valued up to $58)
- TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “RHINO ME” or “ROCKET ME” based on your preferred prize and…
- BONUS QUESTION: Tell us what your dream adventure vacation is. Would you love to go on a real life wild safari? Or maybe someday take a trip into space? Feel free to stretch the bounds of reality here – we’re dreaming after all!
- GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, August 5th at 8pm EST
- NUMBER OF WINNERS: Six!
- PRIZE SHIPS: Within the US of A only this time
- USUAL STUFF: One entry per e-mail address is permitted. The winner(s) will be selected using random.org and announced on Thursday. Good luck!
Oh, and here’s Robbie’s new home on the shelf above his ceramic cousin:
You know what they say. Happy wife, happy life.

Erica says
RHINO ME!
My dream vacay would be to Greece, to the little island that houses the B&B from the movie “Mama Mia”. That may sound dorky, but it’s just sooo beautiful (not to mention everyone is sporadically breaking into song and dance!)
Tenille says

carrie says
Rhino me! The Great Wall of China. That’s my dream.
Sess Hyman says
RHINO ME!!!
My husband got to film in Africa for 12 weeks! I was at home, while he saw aaaalll the animals. The show is called Night and is on Animal Planet. He did bring home the skin of the goat they roasted, not the same as a lovely cardboard Rhino, but the thought of our little goat having company makes me very happy.
Besides our anniversary is coming, and the freebie would be fitting!
Shannon says
rocket me!
I think I’d like to go on a motorcycle tour all over each continent (including Antarctica). I’ve never ridden a motorcycle, but a girl can dream.
Mari says
Rhino me! Animals are my 2yr olds favorites. It would be perfect in her room.
Amber says
Rocket me!
In college I went to South Africa, and I would love to go back to show my husband all the cool things I talk about. Plus, we rode bikes everywhere while we were living there, and I lost a good 20 pounds, while eating cheese and butter sandwiches for lunch most days. Yep, that’s what our host family fed us.
JC says
Rocket me, please. I need one for my adventure to the moon.

Karen M says
Rocket me!
Natalie says
RHINO ME
I would love to do a repeat adventure vacation of what Amazing Race did like 3 years ago. They sent their teams to Australia and New Zealand to roll down a hill in a big gerbil ball (I forgot what they’re called :)), raft down a river on a boogie board, and then I’d probably top it off by going scuba diving around the Great Barrier Reef.
Megan White says

My dream vacation would be traveling to Greece and then spending a looooong time in Italy… Then I guess to make my hubby happy, we could go to Dubai…

jane says
rhino me!
i’d like to go on any number of anthony bourdain’s no reservations travel/food adventures. makes me hungry just thinking about it.
Krystle says
Rhino Me! I can never pick a place to vacation because there’s just too much to see! Do I want the relaxation value or the cool-places-to-visit value? We haven’t even gone on our honeymoon yet because I can’t decide where to go…I guess I’ll have to make some kind of decision soon. Aside from vacationing, the other products at Cardboard Safari are too cute!
Liz says
RHINO ME! these are SO GREAT!
Dream vacation = Santorini and/or Capri (SIGHHH)
Lindsey L says
RHINO ME!
Any vacation is a dream vacation!!!
jodi says
RHINO ME!
Dream vacation is to either go to Spain and visit an open market on the street (I’m a romantic at heart) or visit Santorini, Greece with my husband. Ahhhh.
elizabeth says
RHINO ME!!!
My dream adventure trip would be to sail around the world, at a leisurely pace and with adequate protection so I don’t get attacked by pirates near the Gulf of Aden. I’d have a swanky sail boat with an even swankier crew, and I would hit up every fantastic port city I could think of. It might take years… but in adventure land I would also be independantly wealthy so it’s not like I’d have to work.
Brooke G says

Amber B says
RHINO ME!! My dream vacation would be driving across the country on a moped doing random things along the way – theme parks, national parks, 5 star hotels, camping, sky diving, hot air ballooning, etc. Anything to get away and enjoy this beautiful country!
