Kiwi the Plushie

This is the story of Kiwi.  So there was a Zespri promotion going on at the supermart.  You get a keychain if you take a picture with the mascot and post it on FB.  So here is the pic...  

Pic with mascot, check

Then you get to spin the wheel if you buy two boxes of kiwifruit.  We did and SE got a recycle bag from the spin.  Check.  The promoter kept the receipt.

Then there was an Instagram contest for a creative picture with kiwifruit.  SE put in this entry...

Cute kiwis for u, now give me prize

And won!  The prize is only a plushie, not a big deal, but it's still a prize.  Only issue is, a receipt was needed as proof of purchase in order to claim the prize.  And our receipt was already taken by the promoter.  Lots of anxious moments while we messaged Zespri and waited for their reply.  They didn't respond on Insta so tried FB and... well it took some time.

But finally.... the plushie landed.  It has been named 'Kiwi'. 

Kiwi says Hello!

One happy ending and one happy kiddo.  Check.

  2. The promoter shouldn't take your hardcopy receipt. Usually they will take a photo of your receipt as proof of purchase. Good that finally they still send you the gift 👍😊

    1. Haha kan? What if we need to return an item and need the receipt, or security wants to check whether we have already paid haha.
