Random Giveaway: Projector



It's a different sort of Giveaway today. The prize is valued at $400. But you don't have to find a place to store it. What is this mysterious prize? A movie projector from Projector 123! Projector 123 rents out projectors by the night or by the week. Fedex drops the projector off and Fedex picks it up. And they can get the projector to you in 24 hours.



Why do you need projector rental? Um, seriously. Do I even need to answer that? You need a projector rental because you want to throw a movie party:




Tomorrow is Halloween, and you want to project classic scary movies, like Frankenstein or Dracula, on your garage door for the neighborhood kids to enjoy as they trick-or-treat.


Or for your child's next party, you want to project Man From Snowy River on the side of your friend's barn or cabin while the kids bundle up with blankets and caramel popcorn. Or maybe you'll gather the party guests in the playroom to watch Toy Story projected on the wall.



During Thanksgiving weekend, you'll want to project the home movies you've been editing on iMovie in the living room, so the relatives have something to watch while the pies are baking.



Or for your Christmas party this year, you can invite everyone to dress up in something fancy and drink hot toddy's and watch It's a Wonderful Life in your family-room-turned-movie-theater.



Of course you need to win a projector rental! Why do you need a week-long projector rental? Because being a parent is kind of crazy. Schedules don't always work out as planned. So having the projector for a whole week just makes sense. In case. And in case you're certain that you really aren't the type to throw a party, well, enter anyway, and if you win you can just gift the prize to a more festive friend.

A week long rental of the brightest projector from Projector 123 goes for $400. Which is what you could win if you enter this Giveaway
(so get commenting!). But there are other options. Rentals start as low as $99.

I really do love the idea of a projector rental. It's something that seems silly to own, because I wouldn't make use of it enough to justify storing it. But having it available from Projectors 123, to be delivered the next day — or even the same day in some instances — allows me to still throw an impromptu party. Curious about Projector 123's services? Check out their faq's page.

Thank you Projector 123!

Final Note: What with the Frankenstein posters? Well, it's Halloween tomorrow, and I found these and thought they were cool and wanted to share them. Plus this is a Giveaway about movie projectors. So we're going to pretend it all fits. I found the movie posters here.

So glad you mentioned my all time favorite movie Man From Snowy River! This would really be fun especially because if I won I'd probably have it longer than a week because FedEx is so messed up out here. They hate coming to the boondocks and will only come if there are at least 4 things they have to deliver!
