You know, it’s not easy choosing a prize to give away here on the blog each month. Actually, that’s not entirely true. There are plenty of watermelon-related gifts to choose from; it’s just that I’m a little picky when it comes to finding the “perfect” one.
I’m the same way with birthday gifts, Christmas gifts, anniversary gifts … you name it. I shouldn’t be – it’s the thought that counts, right? – but I always end up spending way too much time agonizing over my options and getting stressed out about something that, frankly, shouldn’t be that stressful.
With that in mind, I’ve begun combing through watermelon gifts that I’ve given away in the past to see which prizes deserve a return to the spotlight. This month’s prize was originally posted back in 2009, but it’s one of the cooler things we’ve featured on the blog, so I’ve decided to give it another look.
It’s a set of three ceramic watermelon canisters (above). The canisters stand about eight inches tall and are available on Amazon.com. The site even mentions that they’re great for storing “cookies, crackers, noodles, flour, sugar, candy… whatever you want!”
If the canisters were mine, I’d probably fill them with breakfast cereal (I’m an addict) and coffee (also an addict). If you win the canisters, what would you fill them with?
Leave a comment below with your answer. I’ll choose one comment at random from all the comments left on the blog this month to win the canisters. Good luck!

I am baking a lot so probably flour or sugar and or bread flour and perhaps some chocolate chips because we use those a lot in the baking.
Cool canisters and you would want to display them in the kitchen so I think i would go with oatmeal, some dried fruit and raisins, and either coffee or tea. Perfect for the cold weather we have been having.
If i have that set,i will most definitely will change my old swt ( almost 15 year old) and use it for my coffee,sugar and flour :-)
I would use my canister set to store Relay for Life donations thru out the year, all that change collected will go towards a good cause for our family team and look very pretty sitting on the cabinet in my kitchen
If a canis was mine I’d probably fill them with the best watermelon juice ever for my family and I too look and feel good.
What can watermelon be good for.
