Fab Freebie: Space Rhino

***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.

Cardboard Safari Heads

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.

Cardboard Safari Prizes

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.

    RHINO ME! I read your blog all the time but this is the first time I’ve ever commented. I just HAD too, since my nickname for my boyfriend is “rhinoceros bear” (loooooong story). Anyway, my dream adventure vacation would probably be to backpack up Mt. Whitney with my Dad. He’s 55 years old and has done it every summer for the past few years. One of these summers I am going to get up the courage and go with him!

    ROCKET ME

    My dream vacation would be to go visit Angel Falls in Venezuela. My geography teacher in college talked about his trip there and I’ve wanted to go ever since. He said that it’s such an amazing place that you have to be careful who you go with because the beauty and wonder will reflect in their eyes you’ll fall madly in love with them. He blames the falls for his second marriage :) I think it would be the perfect place for a second honeymoon with my hubby. Romantic vistas always make us happy, so I think Angel Falls would be perfect.

    ROCKET ME!

    And I would love to be able to take a rocket trip even if just around the earth a couple of times! Down here on earth, my dream vacation would be a rather simple one, to Vermont in the fall. I just love seeing the trees changing color and the crisp air, fireplaces at night and fresh apples and apple cider during a daytime hike.

    RHINO ME, pretty please!

    I’m not picky on a dream vacation, anywhere tropical that I can relax, drink girly drinks anytime of the day and watch the ocean.

    Rocket Me!

    I would like to go to the south of France and live in a little cottage. Everyday I would have a glass of good wine, a crusty baguette and cheese.

    C’est la vie, mon ami

    Rocket me! Please…

    Dream vacation? Northern west coast beach, cabin with friends, lots of cozy wool blankets and campfires.

    These cuties remind me of those veneer cutout 3-D puzzle animals that were around when we were little. I had some giraffes and my brother had an enormous herd of dinosaurs.

    Rhino Me! My dream vacation would be staying in a yurt on the Oregon coast. Just me, my dog, a typewriter, and the ocean…

    Rhino me!!
    I think a great vacation would be to go to Africa on a wild safari. My hubby and I just had our 1st child in May. When he gets a bit older, I know he’ll enjoy animals! I think he’d like the Rhino to sit next to his books on his shelf. :)

    RHINO ME!

    Dream vacation: I’ve always wanted to a road trip, snaking through the continental 48. I need to see EVERYTHING. Giant balls of yarn, thousand mile flea markets, you name it – it’s on my list.

    I’d love to go on a European vacation, ala Chevy Chase, except without all the mayhem. Good food, friends, and family would suffice.

    Rhino me!

    I’ve always wanted to travel through Africa, though not so much the safaris. If only I could do that without spending a ton and without getting into any trouble!!

    Rhino Me!

    My new hubs and I are going on a dream honeymoon in one month! We’ll be traveling to Thailand to hang out with a friend in Bangkok, eat spicy food, and enjoy some of the most beautiful beaches on the planet. I can’t wait!
