Cardboard Safari Giveaway

Cardboard Safari makes really cool 3-D cardboard puzzles.  In addition to the trophy animals, this Christmas they made holiday-themed trees and wreaths that looked really cool and would be easy to customize to match your decor.  Oh!  And there's a wonderful skull, too!

I'm totally jealous of their laser cutter.  How awesome is that thing?!  Can you imagine all the cool stuff you could make with that?  The fact that they cut their own products means they can pretty rapidly come up with new products and get them right to their customers.  A little birdie told me that they plan on doing more seasonal products ... maybe even some for Valentine's day!

Cardboard Safari has generously offered to give three of my lucky readers a small Deer, Moose, or Rhino (all pictured above).  Leave a comment telling me which of their puzzles are you favorite to be entered in the drawing.  I will stop accepting comments at midnight on Sunday, January 18th.  To find out what time that is where you live, choose your time zone next to the heading "Select place to convert to" on this page at The World Clock.  I'll announce the winner on Monday, January 19th.

Full disclosure:  I'm not getting anything from Cardboard Safari.  All the goodies are for you guys!

those are great! My favorite is the deer, but my two boys would LOVE the rhino. Looking forward to a cacti update.

How cool are those! It's a close call, but I am leaning towards the deer.

I really like Mooses... meese... moose... That moose puzzle! I really like that moose puzzle!

I love the rhino, but then again, you need the antlers to make a statement around my neck of the woods!
1/14/2009 10:32 PM

Michelle said ...
Oh, definately the moose. I'm from NH and never seen a living moose before, but they are amazing creatures.

And yes, that lazer cutter would be quite amusing to own ... imagine the possibilites!

Please enter me for the Rhino. I love it. I am expecting and my nursery has a safari theme. It would be perfect.

The moose for sure! But then again am a misplaced Canadian!

They are awesome! I think I like the rhino best, though :)

The Deer- deer heads are popular in my part of the world (Colorado) I want to be part of the "cool kids" but I don't want a real deer head- this sounds like the perfect answer.

Debbie Harris said ...
I totally need the Moose head! That's my younger daughter's nickname for my older daughter! The puzzles are just wonderful.

Thanks so much.

I think I like the deer best, but what about the rhino, and then there's the moose. They're all great.
1/15/2009 1:21 AM

kristi said ...
oh, i have loved that rhino for a long time! i can't remember where i first saw it, but it sure makes me happy to look at!
1/15/2009 1:22 AM

Xanthe said ...
I absolutely love the rhino!

The rhino is cool, but I'm most partial to the Moose :o)
1/15/2009 4:51 AM

Salihan said ...
Rhino for me! But I'm happy with any one of them! Gorgeous!
1/15/2009 5:15 AM

Elly said ...
Oooh, it's close between the rhino and the deer... I think the deer has it :)
1/15/2009 5:32 AM

For myself I love the rhino, but I'd love, love, love to get the moose for my mother, who has a bit of a moose-theme going in our cabin.

I like the deer the best.

Deer for me! :)

The deer would surely be for me, dear. *S*

The deer!

I'm still waiting for my crocheted uterus handbag...

That moose is beautiful!

Those puzzles are too fun! The moose is the best!

Ooh, I am oddly enamored of the rhino. I love it!
1/15/2009 9:40 AM

Becka said ...
Totally the rhino! He's my favorite, no question.
1/15/2009 9:41 AM

Sara said ...
How cool are these?! I love the deer. My hubby is converting our old laundry room into an office for himself. He's planning to install a small woodburning stove to heat the space, since there's no easy way to vent air into there. If I win the deer puzzle, I will seriously lean toward pine wainscoting and chrome shelving!

domi said ...
That rhino would look great in my baby's jungle room.
1/15/2009 10:43 AM

Janda Ferris said ...
Puzzles are one of my most favorite things and these are amazing! I love them all, but if I have to pick one it would be the rhinocerous.
1/15/2009 11:21 AM

Christina Burks said ...
i love the rhino, my 2 yr old lil boy's fav stuffed animal is the rhino so this would be cool additional to his wall in the pink room he shares with his big sister!
1/15/2009 11:29 AM

E to the M said ...
I love them all! But I think the deer is number 1 (or maybe the rhino).
1/15/2009 11:33 AM

I'd die for that moose!! How do you get all this cool stuff?!

I don't know why I love a cardboard deer so much, but I do! I must have one! :) Thanks for the contest.
1/15/2009 12:20 PM

I LOVE the leaf wreath! I like the delicateness of the pine bows along with the fall leaves, beautiful!
1/15/2009 12:28 PM

Jackie said ...
Two schools in our hometown had a four-hour lockdown last winter because of a "moose on the loose". Gotta have the moose!!!
1/15/2009 12:32 PM

Anya said ...
I think the Moose would be fun. Thanks.

Hello from Japan. I came across your blog today. That's amazing blog!
I didn't know Cardboard Safari made christmas one! I should have get one for next christmas. Put me in "Moose" drawing.
Thank you

I have to say the moose is my favorite. My husband is from Alaska.
1/15/2009 1:41 PM

Iesa said ...
They were awsome. I put that into my favorites for possible Christmas gifts for next year. Can never start too soon. I love the white Alpine tree

The Moose is way cool.
1/15/2009 2:31 PM

Jen said ...
I want! I want! These are awesome! I love the rhino!!!!
1/15/2009 2:33 PM

karen m. said ...
Oh, these are amazing! Big tug-of-war between the rhino and the deer for me, but I'd pick Robbie the Rhino, especially since it would support rhino conservation. (Love the fab bison trophy too!) Thank you!
1/15/2009 2:35 PM

Lisa said ...
I love the alpine tree and snowflake trees on cardboard safari's website. The rhino and the moose are fantastic! Thanks for holding the contest!
1/15/2009 2:44 PM

Leslie Lancaster said ...
I have always loved the deer. It's classic head-on-the-wall art. I have seen knitted deer heads and sculpted deer heads, but I have to say the cardboard puzzle takes the cake!
1/15/2009 3:09 PM

Bree said ...
I love the moose, I've always wanted a trophy head for my house and this is a much more sane way for me to have one.
1/15/2009 3:35 PM

DK said ...
I love the moose. Real trophy heads just freak me out; so creepy... These ones look like awesome fun to put together. And are lacking any and all creepiness.
1/15/2009 3:58 PM

desiree said ...
oooooh! rhino!!
1/15/2009 5:13 PM

Libby Morris said ...
Yeah the Rhino is gorgeous. Love the blog and thanks for the givaway chance.

1/15/2009 5:49 PM

chris p said ...
The Rhino is my favorite-these are all fantastic! Any would make a great addition in the studio!
1/15/2009 6:58 PM

Zoe said ...
Definitely the Rhinoceros!

1/15/2009 7:13 PM

Nicole said ...
They are all oddly cool, but for unknown reasons, I would choose the moose!
1/15/2009 7:22 PM

Shellie Seering said ...
Love the Deer! I was looking at giving this to my father-in-law (a true hunter) for Christmas!
1/15/2009 7:31 PM

As an 11 year summer camp participant, the moose is definitely my favorite. It's like our own Mangey, but less patchy, and more awesome.
1/15/2009 9:38 PM

rayna said ...
Wow!!! What a great giveaway! They are all so cute, but I think the deer is my favorite.
1/15/2009 10:17 PM

Rebekah said ...
The trophy options are very cool, I would love to get my mits on these paper puzzles to see how they all come together. BUT, I went on the company website and I fell in LOVE with the alpine tree and the leaf pattern wreath!! The wreath has such great detail and the tree looks like you could dress it up...so many options! You could make paper ornaments and garland to dress it up, or leave it plain as it has it's own delicate charm. Way cool. I love the cool product reviews, please keep them coming.
1/15/2009 10:59 PM

april said ...
oh, how I love that deer.
1/15/2009 11:18 PM

joyce said ...
I think my favorite is the buck. No, the wreath....no the buck .....no the wreath. No, the buck. Definitely the buck.

I love Mr. Rhino. I can see that big horn being used as a hook of some kind... maybe.. perhaps...
1/16/2009 3:45 AM

Laure said ...
Those are great. The holiday items on the website are gorgeous. Out of these three awesome trophy heads, I'm in love with the moose.
1/16/2009 7:33 AM

Claire said ...
Oooh - the rhino most definitely.
1/16/2009 1:12 PM

laura said ...
It really is so hard to decide but there is something a bit special about the deer that's tugging me towards it over the others. Lovely!
1/16/2009 1:33 PM

Jennifer said ...
They are all amazing, but that rhino?? How marvelous! Wow.
1/16/2009 2:28 PM

Sarah said ...
Hi! Love your blog, especially your crochet projects! The rhino is my favorite, but all their pieces are beautiful.

I love the deer! We live in a log home in Wisconsin, but I have so far not aquired any antler decor-cardboard, I could surely live with!!

I totally dig the moose!!
1/16/2009 6:47 PM

Rakel said ...
I am partial to the skull because I love Dia de los muertos art work and that skull would go great with my collection, but the fact that the deer would look so cool on the wall with those awesome antlers, it's like tofurkey for my politically correct living room wall! :)

the deer is amazing !

Shazam! Moooooooooose!! Unless they want to just give away the laser cutter...

I really love the deer, my husband would too. Recently I saw a carved wood deer head by Roost but the price tag scared me off!
1/16/2009 8:39 PM

pam said ...
I love the Bison or is it a buffalo? But where is a GOAT?
1/16/2009 9:15 PM

Kelly Ann T. said ...
The deer is so cool. This would keep the boys busy for hours and afterwords it would look great above our fireplace mantle.
1/16/2009 11:59 PM

Jennifer said ...
My first choice is the white deer!! Folllowed by the moose!! Thanks for the giveaway.
1/17/2009 12:35 AM

So very cool! I'm partial to either the deer or the moose! The wreath on their site? LOVE.

that moose is amazing!!! and the bf and i would get such a kick out of putting it together now that were stuck inside with the snow & cold

Lauren said ...
I've been admiring these for a while now! I guess I like the deer best but they are all fun.
1/17/2009 2:32 PM

Meredith said ...
Oh, the moose totally rocks! I think I hear a bare spot in our living room, above my husband's chair, calling to that moose! It would make him so happy, since we live in Maine and moose are like a national symbol up here.
1/17/2009 4:55 PM

Bon said ...
Seeing as how we have the "real thing" for the moose and deer/elk in Montana, I'd have to choose the "exotic" rhino.
1/18/2009 12:26 AM

Carolyn said ...
I love the skull - in college, some friends of mine had to make chairs you could sit in out of cardboard to show how strong it was if you engineered it correctly and to me the idea of making a skull (something that needs to take a lot impact to protect it's cargo) from cardboard is similarly cool! I would dress mine up with earrings.

How awesome would that rhino be in the playroom! Pick me!
