*** Contest now expired, winner announced soon ***

This week on Bargainmoose, we’ve got a slightly more techie contest than normal, but I’d like to think that many of the Bargainmoosers might still be interested in participating – as the prize is a 1 year subscription to 1&1.com’s MyWebsite Plus – a package which enables you to set up your own website in minutes!

Perhaps you’ve had an idea in your mind for a website you’d like to set up. Maybe it’s a foodie blog, a site with silly images of kittens, or even just a simple site where you can share family news and piccies of the kids. If you win this package from 1&1, you’d be able to set that up and get it off the ground. The package includes such features as 1 free domain, 40 exclusive website designs to choose from, access to 25,000 stock images that you can use on your site, and many other features too. For someone who might not be overly tech-savvy, it seems a great way to get a site up and running.

The prize: MyWebsite Plus subscription for 1 year, which is a $240 value, from 1&1.com.

What to do:

Have you ever thought about creating your own website? Is there a blog burning inside you that just longs to be written? What is it? Tell us in the comments below.

Fancy a bit of pampering? Do you think you could manage to spend a $150 gift card from Wayspa.com? I know I could… but it will be awarded to one of the lucky Bargainmoosers, I won’t be selfish and keep it for myself! You can put the $150 towards anything you want there, some lovely self-indulgent experiences…

I recently had a facial for the first time in my 32 years on this world. I was actually a bit apprehensive beforehand, because I feel someone rubbing your face is pretty personal and almost considered an invasion of your personal space. But once the beautician got started, I overcame that feeling and ended up really enjoying the relaxation of the facial for an hour. I was so relaxed, I was pretty close to sleep too… even snorting myself awake at one point.

How to enter this contest:

For one contest entry: What would you fancy spending your $150 prize on? Have a browse on Wayspa, find a pampering place near you, and check out their services. What would you do? Would it be a facial? A massage? Or maybe getting your nails done? Let us know in the comment below.

With the rising cost of gas prices, would anyone say no to $150 worth of free gas from Shell Canada? I am sure that none of the Bargainmoosers would turn their noses up at that! Read on to see how to enter this Canadian contest…

Just for your interest, right now, Shell are holding a contest of their own, where you could win 95,000 AIR MILES reward miles just for shopping at Shell (ends 2nd June 2013). To enter, you just need to activate your AIR MILES Cash account, and then present your collector card when you make a minimum $20 purchase at Shell.

I’d love to win the 95k Air Miles! My ideal trip to spend it on would be return flights to South Africa. I’d love to visit Table Mountain and Cape Town, they’re on my travel bucket list. Even if both my partner and I travelled, we’d still have a few leftover miles for more travel treats.

How to enter:

• Leave a comment below on this post on Bargainmoose, stating where you’d imagine travelling if you had 95k Air Miles to spend (1 entry)
• Leave a link to this contest on twitter (make sure to add @bargainmoose to your message) (1 entry)

Having looked at most of these stores, we saw that most will be able to ship this to you in time for Christmas, but just have a look on their site to make sure when you buy.
