Polaroid 300 Camera Giveaway {Closed}

08.21.11 By Lindsey G

It’s been awhile since our last giveaway and I have been so enamoured with Polaroid cameras lately I thought let’s GIVE ONE AWAY! How does that sound? This time we are going to give one lucky winner a Brand New POLAROID 300 Camera and 2 packs of Polaroid 300 film!

Polaroid 300 Camera Giveaway

One of the things I brought to BlogHer a couple weeks ago was my Polaroid camera. I have a Mio I found used on eBay years ago because I thought my kids would enjoy the instant gratification of it all. I quickly realized that this was an expensive toy at .70 a photo for my kids so I repossessed it. I will say that via eBay or Amazon you can find better prices by buying Fuji Instax film in bulk. Instax mini works in Polaroid cameras, including the Mio and the Polaroid 300 and vice versa (the 300 film works in Instax cameras).

Polaroid cameras are my secret weapon at parties. Here’s the Ace of Cakes cake at Sparklecorn and the my local peeps Whoorl and Tera Rae at CheeseburgHer party.

I whip this thing out and its an INSTANT hit… sorry I couldn’t help myself.

You just have to see for yourself. The color saturation is beautiful and they don’t fade with time. There are all sorts of different ways you can use your Polaroid camera, here are a few ideas. 1. Use as an ice breaker, leave a camera on a table at a party and let guests play. 2. A take home memento from a school event like Grandparent’s Day. 3. Make a small frame and use the photo in a holiday craft. 4. Take a photo of yourself or your business and insert into a clear luggage tag. 5. At a wedding have guests take a photo and sign the bottom with well wishes. 6. Take photos at Halloween party and pin to a board so everyone can vote on costumes. 7. Use on vacation for an instant souvenir you can take home with you. 8. Start a client wall, I am now taking a Polaroid at each photo shoot and placing them on a special board in my studio to remind me of all the wonderful people I have met. To enter all you have to do to enter is leave a comment below. I won’t make you tweet or like our facebook page but if you would like to that would be swell too.  I’d appreciate it.

Polaroid 300 GIVEAWAY ends August 31st at 11:59 PST. Winner will be announced 9/1/2011. Good Luck!

disclosure: the giveaway is not sponsored by anyone else other than me.

    in this age of digital photoshopped trickery, to be able to capture a moment in its raw beauty is quite a gift. i remember the very first picture i took with my brand new 1971 polaroid. my grandma looked stunning in the living room sunlight. thanks for jogging my memory, friend.

    Thank you Lindsey!
    I’m STILL recovering from wine tasting in the Napa Valley Saturday. I was feeling very unmotivated this morning until I read your InstaFriday post and then this one. Now I need to get some editing done. Now I’m super curious about the new Polaroid Cameras.
    Love your work and your sense of humor. Thank for the inspiration!

  35. massy vilches says

    08.22.11 at 12:20 pm

  38. Amy Michaels says

    08.22.11 at 5:45 pm

    I have a Polaroid camera that I got from eBay a few years ago and it is completely falling apart. Plus the film for that one is SO expensive so I find myself never wanting to use the film in fear of wasting it. I would love a new Polaroid that I could actually use!

    This is such a lovely giveaway by the way!

  39. Audra Redick says

    08.22.11 at 6:30 pm

    08.23.11 at 12:57 am

    Oh, yes! I have a few older polaroids that I could use impossible project film with but I can’t bring myself to spend $25 for 8 photos, or whatever it is.

  42. Stephanie B. says

    08.23.11 at 6:46 am

    yeah, a polaroid would be fun!

  43. Grace Wong says

    08.23.11 at 10:46 am

    I love polaroids! I’ve never liked the idea of digital cameras, but polaroids just speak to me. The excitement and anticipation for each picture to develop, each picture becomes more than just a picture. It becomes a special memory. 🙂

  44. Kimberly L.C. says

    08.23.11 at 12:14 pm

    I’d love to win and own a Polaroid that actually works! I own an old land camera that I can’t get to operate.

  68. Marla K says

    08.26.11 at 6:50 am

    I have been wanting one of these, but thus far has been cost prohibitive. I am a child of the 70s and so loved my old school Polaroid growing up.

  69. Jennifer @ The Mommy Mambo says

    08.26.11 at 7:12 am

    Feel dumb having to admit that I had no idea Poloroids still existed. What fun I had as a girl with my big clunky gray and pink fold out flash poloroid! A wonderful bit of nostalgia I’d love to share with my boys. Instant gratification and endless art filled possibilities! 🙂

    Oh….and I now like you on FB. Just sayin…

  70. Michelle Wright says

    08.26.11 at 8:22 am

  76. Sootie says

    08.28.11 at 10:36 pm

    I love the idea of wedding guests write down their wishes on the pics.. That would make it more personal and memorable, no?

    I hate how people taking tons of pictures using digital camera and hardly look at them again.. To polaroi its different, each picture ia valuable, and i’ll keep every single of them, even if it just captures random stuff on my table :”>

    Thank you so much for this chance 😀

  77. Andrea says

    08.29.11 at 10:00 am

    Yes Please! We made a slam book at a big NYE party once. A white table cloth taped up on the wall – several instimatics floating around the party…. take a picture and tape it to the wall for others to comment on. As the night went on, the comments got pretty hilarious. So did the handwriting.

    My friend used to have one of these, and they really loved it, but they took it to Greece one year and it broke. Right now, they live in Denmark, so I think they would really enjoy it if I won this and sent it to them. Thanks!

  94. AndreaSomething says

    08.31.11 at 8:08 pm
