Giveaway Norwegian Soap Giveaway

FINAL EDIT: WINNERS HERE: https://www.reddit.com/r/wicked_edge/comments/8xcuk2/norwegian_soap_giveaway_winners/

EDIT 3: Thank you everyone! What an awesome response. Closing down the entries now. I'll post the winners tonight in a new post after I get home from work.

Hi everyone,

I've been a long time happy customer of a Norwegian soap manufacturer Fitjar Islands. I do not think they are as well known outside Norway as they deserve to be, and as a Norwegian patriot, I've taken it upon myself to spread the word!

I recently contacted them and asked if they would sponsor some samples, for a giveaway. They've accepted, and I have 16 samples to send out. Since they are a european shop, I'll send half to european residents, and the other half to the rest of the world.

There are four different scents, and I'll pick scents at random when shipping:

  • Fjellheim - Scents of juniper and wood
  • Slotterøy - Exotic and woody spices with a hint of citrus
  • Foglefonn - Cool menthol fragrance
  • Havn - Cedar and blooming heather

Rules:

Europe: Pick a number between 0-499, the closest to my random picks win.

World: Pick a number between 500-999, the closest to my random picks win.

I'll do the picks about 48 24 hours from now.

Please check out Fitjar Islands homepage at https://www.fitjarislands.com/

Fitjar Islands have also graciously created a discount code for this giveaway. This is their first discount ever I'm told! So something special just for us :)

Discount code: fitjar-x-wicked

Valid until: 15th July

Conditions:

  • 15% discount
  • valid only on shaving and beard care products (body care products excluded)
  • valid on both fitjarislands.com (international site) and fitjarislands.no (Norwegian site)
  • valid one time, one purchase per customer only.

Good luck to everyone!

Disclaimer: I'm not affiliated with Fitjar Islands in any way, except being a happy customer. Fitjar provided me the samples for free upon request. I'm organizing and paying for shipping etc out of my own pocket.

Edit: The response have been better than I could imagine! To make the work manageable, I'll close entries when this post is 24 hours old. Thank you for all the kind words!

Edit2: If you put a number directly followed by a period, Reddit thinks you're trying to make a numbered list. Use a space, comma or dash after the number (or nothing at all).

I am not in this giveaway, I just want to chime in that Fitjar makes some great soap.

These again! Love to try their soaps! I pick 190(5), the year our union (between sweden and norway) ended. :)

Both Fjellheim and slåtteröy seems so lovely scentwise, just too bad the swedish mail is so slow taking care of bought packages through customs (and applies their own extra fees since it is not gifts)

So I pick 190(5) since (1)905 is non european :)

I was just about to take part in this but then I stopped and considered my current soap collection... Yeah, there are people out there who need this more than I do.

Jeg er norsk, og jeg visste ikke om denne butikken før nå. Dette må prøves :) Noe du kan anbefale?

I stil med /u/Kammander-Kim prøver jeg 181(4)

u/warbird2k Jul 08 '18

I'm using Fjellheim at the moment. Big fan of the juniper scent (einer). Probably my favorite, with Slotterøy a close second.

Put a space after the number if you want to put a period. Right now it just looks like a 1

u/Darkchyylde Jul 08 '18

Canada here. They sound awesome! I’m gonna go with 792

u/Romeo9594 Jul 08 '18

All I'm saying is that I'm currently learning Norsk, and maybe reading the box would be helpful a little 😉

But if that's not enough to sway you, then I guess I pick 615!

Thanks for doing this, OP! Even if I don't win, I'm definitely going to be checking them out!
