*** 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.

I remember ‘sharing’ my favorite dress with my sister. She came home from school with the ties ripped and a huge dirt stain on the skirt.

SHARE ME! I am infamous for thinking everyone’s plate is to be shared. One time, on a business trip with a client, she had agreed I could try her sandwich, but was busy talking with some of our performers so I just took a a forkful off her plate…everyone at the table except for her just looked at me in silenece and then when she figured out what had happened, they all started cracking up!

My sister and I shared a condo after I graduated. We are the best of friends but can also fight like cats and dogs. I remember one intense moment where I threw a shoe at her, missed, and marked up the wall pretty badly. We don’t live together anymore, but we still laugh about the shoe episode :)
Alison says
Share Me! I shared a bedroom with my younger sister until I was 4 and we would share and swap beds. My parents would find us sleeping in the same bed or sleeping in the opposite bed of the one whe had been put to sleep in the night before. :)

SHARE ME!! I shared a room with my 13 months younger sister for years. It was great to get my own room when we got older- we had drawn lines down the middle of the room!
Kendra says
Share me! I used to share a room with my sister and we would periodically divide the room into individual halves – I got the door and told her she could never leave the room again. Big sisters can be so cruel!

Growing up I didn’t have to share much with my two younger brothers, so when I got married I was in for a bit of a surprise when my husband, Ben, complained of not having his own space. It took me a couple of years to understand I wasn’t sharing with him. Now about 6 years later (I know sometimes I’m slow to the party) I am trying to think of a way to incorporate his items of personal value into space that doesn’t necessarily work with his items.

My family growing up — We’d have meat, potato and frozen veggies for dinner in the winter. My mom would heat up frozen peas from one small box from the A&P Grocery store, and there would still be leftover peas with the six of us.
Melissa says
SHARE ME! My just 15 months older sister had to start sharing as soon as I arrived in the world. We went from sharing toys to sharing clothes. Now she lives a state away and we share conversations over the phone as often as life with teenagers permits :)

I have always worked in office environments with little to no privacy…I always find it hilarious the conversations you can overhear, as if we all pretend no one else can clearly hear every word we say!!!

As a mom of four, I share with my kids all the time. I draw the line at my morning coffee though- that is, thankfully, still just for me!

Share me! I remember when I was a little girl my mom would always make us matching Easter dresses. (I have only brothers, and I guess she like the matching thing:)) We recently found a picture of one Easter Sunday- I was probably ten. We laughed so hard because that year- we even had matching hats… not so cute:)

SHARE ME–that awkward moment when your sister-in-law’s dog’s protruding butthole (he’s a bulldog) “stamps” your white pants. gross.

I do not have any siblings so I’ve never been the best at sharing :)
If I win this giveaway I’ll be sure to buy something I can share with my family!

Our dog loves to lick the dirty dishes in the dishwasher, and once we dog-sat for some friends that don’t have a dishwasher. Our dog was busily licking the dirty dishes, and when their dog came over to see what all the fuss was about, our dog growled at her. “Stay away from my dirty dishes!” Clearly we have not raised a sharing and caring puppy.

One Christmas, I shared the back seat of a mini-van with my two sisters, my brother, and a friend on a road trip to North Carolina (from Florida). All was well until my brother decided to try to eat three McD’s double cheeseburgers in one sitting. Road trips were scarce after that.
JennyB says
Share me! When we were kids, my little sis used to FREAK out if anyone drank from her glass. I’d wait until she wasn’t looking and take a big gulp. It cracked me up that she didn’t have any idea what I’d just done. Otherwise though, I was a pretty nice big sister.

My sister and I are about 2 years apart so when we were in younger and in school she always was up and out of the house before I had to be. When I was in middle school and she was in high school I started to notice my laundry hamper would get really full by the end of the week. It turns out she would sneak into my room in the morning, borrow my clothes for the day and then drop them in my hamper before I got home.

I was trying to convince my two -year old that eating too much junk food was not healthy for her. The next day while at Target we found ourselves in the same isle as a very over weight lady. My daughter said in a very loud, clear voice “WOW! That lady ate way too many cookies! She should share her cookies.”
Joanna says
SHARE ME! We had one – yes, ONE – full bathroom in our house growing up, so my mom, dad, me and my sister all had to figure out how to take showers every day. Not easy!

On our trip to Europe, my dad, stepmom, and two little sisters and I shared a room and bathroom for two weeks. Let’s just say after a few days, we were over it! :) Thanks for sharing!!

SHARE ME! My first job out of college I had to book a conference for 2 of my supervisors….one male, one femalem both married. I booked them in one hotel room assuming they were like most of my friends and wouldn’t mind rooming together/saving money. BIG MISTAKE! They weren’t so into the Sharing!

My brother & I shared a room when we were young. Being close in age we fought a lot and even drew a line down the middle that we were not to cross over.

We keep having to reschedule furniture being delivered to my new office – so frustrating. After seeing me sit on the hardwood floors for two days (while I was waiting for packages and my internet to be hooked up), a super nice older gentleman from another office down the hall offered to share a table and chair from his office. He piled off all his knick-knacks – including a stuffed squirrel with his arm falling off – from the table and carried it down the hall to my office. I’m in a building that has lots of different business in it, so I felt very welcomed by his kind gesture.

I think my worst sharing memory is from college, when I used a communal bathroom (20+ girls) for all four years…. People think that boys are gross, I know that girls are too!
Adria says
SHARE ME! I once spent an entire summer sharing a hotel sized room with my boss while working at a summer camp. What a LONG summer!

I shared a text exchange with my husband’s new boss when he started working at his job. Somehow he had gotten MY phone number and was texting things like ‘good job team! see you tomorrow’ blah blah. I thought maybe it was a high school sports coach or something so I decided to have a little fun with the wrong number saying things like ‘sorry, I won’t be in tomorrow, good luck though! I have to be home with my kid.’ Hilarity ensued.

Sharing the tiny apartment bathroom with the boy is the worst. The next place we live must have two bathrooms!
Kat G. says
SHARE ME! When I was a kid, I shared a room with my sister that was decorated entirely “minnie mouse”. We had pink throw pillows, pink minnie mouse comforters, pink curtains, and even pink polka dotted walls! It was the ultimate girly room and I loved it :)

My sister and I technically shared a room growing up, although my parents were kind enough to put up a fake accordion “wall” that could be opened or closed (it was a large room with two doors). This was all well and good until my grandmother’s dog snuck into my sister’s closed off portion by slipping between the gap in the “wall” through my open room and murdered her pet gerbil on Christmas morning. We got a real wall shortly after that.

My sister and I shared a room when we were little we “split” it down the middle and anything that ended up on the other’s side could become theirs! Not fun!!

All throughout middle school and high school (after my older sister left- she refused to drive me to school!) I would sneak in her room and ‘borrow’ her clothes. It always worked out well until we passed each other in the hallways. I considered it sharing– she didn’t.

When I was a toddler, I shared a room with my brother who is almost exactly 3 years older than me. We are now extremely close, but back then? Not so much. Me being a hard sleeper, I’d wake up with all KINDS of things in my hair, thanks to him: gum, tangled micro-machines, permanent marker, etc. Now I’m concerned about my future kids sharing a room!
Ingrid says
SHARE ME!! I shared my maternity dresses with a friend from church. Every month we traded back and forth.
Catie says
SHARE ME! We ‘shared’ a hotel room with our 1 1/2 year old last year and it didn’t go over very well. We were all up until 3 a.m. and she was like a little jumping bean the entire time. She needs her own, separate space to sleep!
