Santa Claus is coming to town… again :)

Did Santa let you down?  If your request—that Santa bring you a new Vitamix 5200—fell upon deaf ears, the Vita-mix Company is here to save the day (for one of you, anyway).

* Side note: Remember the Pitch Me Contest I mentioned earlier? 

Go here to see all the videos people sent in and vote for your favorites.*

At the risk of sounding redundant, here’s a recap of the amazing machine known as the Vitamix 5200:

The Vita-mix is not your average blender.  This extremely powerful machine can turn fruit into ice cream, produce steaming hot soup without a microwave, grind nuts into velvety butter… all in a matter of minutes (or seconds!).  In short, this one machine can do the job of ten other kitchen appliances—with no added attachments.

I have been wanting one for over 5 yrs. I just can’t afford it, but need it so badly. I go through so many blenders that I could have bought one by now :(
I’m trying to lose weight and the Vitamix would make soooo easy :)
Thanks for the chance to win such an amazing machine.

KATIE YOU ARE MY HERO FOR HAVING THIS GIVEAWAY! YOU ROCK! I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE A VITAMIX SO BADLY!!!

I am new to the blogging world so I took a gander at your Fudge Baby recipes. I would make a batch of the Raw Ginger Babies first in the Vita-Mix. They sound and look delicious!!!! My husband’s jaw dropped when he saw the pricetag of the Vita-Mix at Costco yesterday. Winning this would go a long way to us and our check book happy!

Hi everyone, I’m new to this forum! I got my Vitamix 5200 last year from Costco and I am blown away by how incredible it is. I use it just about every day now. I can’t believe I can make my own ice cream and almond milk! The vegetable cocktails are amazing. I’m developing a product that has to do with Vitamix. Send me any question you have related to the Vitamix blender via this link: http://vitamix5200.org/question
and I’ll send you a free copy of the product when it is finished. I want to make sure I answer everyone’s questions! Really excited to hear your responses.
