A total of twenty-five entries were submitted for the Starbucks USB contest where a blogger should create a Christmas Wishlist based on the following mechanics.
It was great how the participants shared their personal wants and desires and how some seriously made selfless wishes. It was awesome to discover how creative some of the entries were. There were also unconventional wishes which made me create a list of the Top 6 ‘Kakaibang‘ wish from among the entries.

I didn’t know there’s such a case for bras. We’ll, I think because I’m a guy.
The ‘business opportunities’ came in as a surprise since it was an uncommon one and very serious at that. While the mom who wishes for a birthday party for her son’s first birthday was quite touching. The last two were eccentric as a collection.
There were also heartwarming messages for NomNom like the one from FunHuntress.blogspot.com that says (http://funhuntress.blogspot.com/2009/12/my-grownup-christmas-list.html)
I’m really happy that bloggers come up with these kinds of contests that can change their readers’ lives.
…or somehow affect it at the very least, even if not ‘change.’
There was also an entry where she wished to be linked from NomNomClub.com. She is StalwartsKryptonite. ![]()
So, who won the Starbucks USB flash drive?
There were a number of very good entries so I decided to select the Top 6 first and invite a co-judge who is a professional writer to help me in expertly selecting the grand winner. We’ll add our scores and average them.
Allow me to announce the top winner taking home the Starbucks USB next Sunday January 17, 2010. I would also reveal my co-judge at the same post. And because of that, I would add more prizes. The 2nd and 3rd place winners will not go empty handed. They would win a Starbucks gift certificate each.
Here are the Top 6 Finalists (in no particular order):
- My Christmas Wishlist 2009
- My Grown Up Christmas List
- Pangarap Kong Jackpot
- My Christmas 2009 Wishlist
- My Shrubbish Nomnomlicious Wishlist
- If I ever meet Santa…
Whew! These are all good in their own different ways. I just hope my co-judge would not be as torn as I am
It was a good 2009 and cheers to 2010!

Thanks to NomNom Club for this “Enjoyable” Contest
Hi Lawrence,
I actually thought about doing so, and even to the 4th-6th-placers-to-be. However, my financial budget does not permit me to be able to ship more prizes.
If only I have a nearby office where it can be picked up; I have a number of give-away shirts here at home.
Cheers,
NomNom
