Polaroid 300 Camera Giveaway {Closed}

By

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.

  2. Polaroid…what a classic memory growing up in the 70’s.

  5. I enjoy your column and the links to other blogs! I love reading what other smart, beautiful strong women are blogging about.

  7. I just love that you are able to do giveaways. Megan was just asking if we ever owned a poloroid. I told her, “no”. Make a liar out of me, please! 😉

  9. wow! the film tips alone are worthwhile, thanks!!! cool giveaway! : .)

  10. I had a Polaroid camera I loved to use growing up. Winning this one would be amazing!

  11. Great giveaway!!! There might actually be some hope for me in scrapbooking 😉

  12. I can still remember my grandfather taking photos at family events and all of us grandkids crowding around to watch the faces slowly emerge…thanks for the chance to win!

  13. 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.

  15. rock on with this giveaway! i’d love to add this baby to my camera collection. thanks for the chance. BTW i went to a workshop today to learn a bit more about my spectra and the impossible film. it’s going to be a slow work in progress 🙂

  16. I love this! It is so great how they revamped it and brought it back! A Polaroid was my first camera!! Love it!

  18. I love Polaroid, so glad it is making a comeback! What a great giveaway.

  19. Ooh! What fun I could have with my three year old granddaughter.

  20. I would love this camera! i am in college and i would use this all the time!

  21. I love it! Thank you so much for giving us the chance to win such a fun and generous giveaway. 🙂

  23. OMG ALL I WANT (realizes she’s yelling, takes a deep breath) in life is a polaroid camera!
    (Still really really excited

  24. I won my very first Polaroid in a coloring contest at Sav-on when I was little. I would love to win another one!

  26. Pick me. My camera was lost back in December and I have only been using my IPhone camera since.

  30. 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!

  32. I love Poloroids… they are definately a party must. Thanks,

  34. What a great giveaway! I have missed the blowing and flapping as you impatiently waited for the Poloroid to dry. It was like magic!

  35. OH MY GOD! I’m in love with polaroids <3 I would be the happiest girl in the world with one, thank you so much for the giveaway, I'm starting to fall in love with your website 😀

  36. Those pictures look great!! I would love to win, thanks for a fun giveaway!

  37. In this digital age of retaking and editing photos, I love the instant gratification and permanence of the Polaroid. 😀

  38. 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. I remember my fist poloroid…it was so fun and I was 7 LOL…Audra

  41. 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.

  43. 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. 🙂

  45. I have always wanted a Polaroid camera 🙂 My friends always had good luck finding them at thrift stores but me, I was never so lucky!

  49. I love the last photo of the two girls, so pretty! I’ve liked you on Facebook :] Great giveaway!

  53. Been wanting one of these for a WHILE!!! Photo gods, please smile upon me.

  55. The Polaroid 300 is so cute! Love it. I would put this to good use 😉
    Thanks for the giveaway and good luck to us all!

  57. I’ve been wanting to buy one of these so badly! I could sure put it to good use!

  58. I have seen you use this camera and looked into getting one too! LOL! Something else always came up so I still don’t have one. The funny thing is, I was just talking to a friend about that gadget and now I may have a chance to win one:) Wish me luck!!

  61. Thank you so much for the giveaway!… and I like all of your tips on all the different ways you can use the pics! 🙂

  62. There’s just something nostalgic about these cameras. I love vintage photos and this camera gives such an amazing outcome.

    Thanks for the opportunity.

  63. I didn’t think Polaroid was still making film! I would love to win a camera and impress my grandchildren with instant, magic photos:)

  65. I would love to win this!! I love taking photos and with a new baby on the way this would be perfect.
    I “liked” your page on FB as well. 🙂

  66. okay, i’ll bite! i’m always looking for a new toy. i love that it makes you think about crafting your image differently than an SLR. thanks for the giveaway. and lucky you, i already like you on Facebook (and in real life!). — oops! no, i didn’t! but i do now!

  67. Was thinking of getting an iphone so I could use the app, but would rather use the original!!

  68. 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. 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…

  71. What an awesome gift to give my wife for our anniversary next week. She’d love it. I’d love it!

  72. I haven’t had a Polaroid since I started taking photography more seriously. I’d love to explore using it the way you have.

  74. Wow! An actual polaroid camera! Thanks for such a great opportunity to win! (:

  75. I dont have a camera, so i seriously need one ^^

    Thanks for this great contest~! Youre just amazing~ <3

  76. 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 😀

  78. I am a big fan of polaroid cameras, and have always wanted to own one. I love taking pictures, so it would be a great start for me if this camera was mine. Please please please count me in. THANKS <3

  86. 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.

  91. 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!
