Last year I started keeping track of the prizes I won. You can read that post here 2024 Contest Prize Wins. It is a great post to have for memories so I’m going to start a new post for 2025.
I won a limited edition veg’n bake box from Wholly Veggie. This is a very interesting prize because there are only 100 of these limited edition boxes made so I’m excited to be one of the rare people that received one. These are coating blends but they don’t have wierd chemicals ingredients in them. They are made with vegetables, seasonings, and a few other normal ingredients. There are three flavours and the clover one smelled so good I had to try it.
These shakers can be used on anything just wet the ingredients shake it up in a container with a lid and bake. I was thinking when I was vegetarian I used to make shake&bake tofu often and since I have been vegan I haven’t made it. I like these seasonings because I try and avoid chemicals in my food and using a container to shake instead of a plastic bag seems better. I didn’t make tofu yet but I had cut up a potato to make airfryer fries and decided to use it on some of them. They turned out pretty good potatoes got nice and crispy and the seasonings didn’t burn in the airfryer.
This was a fun prize I don’t know the value since it’s such a rare item. I will guess $30 which is likely very conservative.

I won a $200 Purdy’s giftcard from @foodaholic_ayesha on Instagram. I love this account name for those that don’t know my name is also Ayesha and I think everyone knows I’m a veganfoodaholic. It’s not me even though I think the account name would suit me. It took awhile to get this gift card I did have to follow up a few times and search my email for the card that hadn’t been sent. I almost gave up but luckily I finally got it so lesson learned don’t give up on following up on your prizes. I have many posts of my vegan Purdy’s finds on my @vegancanadianfinds account. I actually used the gift card I won from St Laurent to buy my last Purdy’s haul
Vegan Purdy’s haul on Instagram. I look forward to using this gift card to buy gifts in the future.

I received the first prize of 2025. It took a little to get it because my friend picked it up for me. This was a prize pack from Ottawabloggers and Tiffinit. I thought the prize was just going to be spices as that is all the contest indicated. I got a basket with spices, some cookies that are likely not vegan, 2 toques and some other knickknacks that will be given to my non vegan friend. The spices smell really good and they are vegan. I don’t know what the value of this basket is so I’m going to estimate $50.
