It's Sunday again, that came fast! That mean it's time for another giveaway post. This will be the 60th week of this fun, weekly event. I have seen a lot of growth over the last year every Sunday after Sunday. As a result I've added in extra prized to increase the odds that everyone who participates will win something every now and again. This week we only had 34 participants, down from the 40+ a couple weeks back, which makes last week's participants odds of winning a little higher!
This week I will add a one time only prize to the fourth place spin (not the fourth bonus one though.) Today the lucky winner will get the usual 100 BBH and one UNICOIN from my personal stack. This is a new project by @cryptounicorn420 that is still in testing stages but should be live soon. Delegating HP allows you to tip others and receive one in return. Once you collect a full UNICOIN it will be tradeable for an HSBI unit. For more info check out @uni-coin !
And as always I will give out some of my DUO coins, some of my BBH coins which is a project by @bradleyarrow , and some of my CCD coins which is a project run by @powerpaul and his @cryptocompany !
Last week question was about your favorite morning beverage, so lets go over some of those results before posting the next entry question.
Coffee
hemargaritaqueen.blogspot.com
Not surprisingly the winner by a long shot. It's my favorite as well, especially a nice dark roast without cream or sugar. I love the complex taste of good coffee! We did have a few categories in preferences, those who like coffee black included: @monsterbuster , @beelzael , @gatet and @geneeverett
Black coffee with sugar: @ekavieka
Americano: @dewabrata
Coffee with milk: @borniet and @bitandi
Hot latte: @silvertop
And unspecified preferences of coffee: @henruc , @ladyaryastark , @ladymisa , @geneeverett , @sylmarill , @tengolotodo , @okarun and @longganisan .
Water
iaspaper.net
Believe it or not the second in line was simple H2O, water. This was the pick of @olaf.gui , @angeluxx , @mytechtrail and @gwajnberg . Less caffeine and easier on the stomach!
Tea
wisegeek.com
Ok, honestly probably more picked than water, but there were so many varieties I miscounted. @melinda010100 enjoys strong black tea which I like too! English Breakfast was the favorite of @ronnie10 , which always has a nice bright flavor to it. We also had green tea picked by @middle-earthling . Peach tea by @neblomax . Black or green tea with fruit flavor by @flummi97 . @jmis101 has a special preparation for her "tea", but in the form of dry full cream milk, chocolate, and ginger flour.
Also chamomile tea with honey was the favorite @ckjcn22 , not exactly tea but close enough I'll include it here to finish off!
Orange Juice
insanelygoodrecipes.com
Orange juice was popular with two participants. It's good for you and has lots of vitamin C. I love fresh squeezed orange juice, nothing quite like! Thanks to @florakese and @tortangkahoy for this recommendation!
Milk
medicalnewstoday.com
A nice healthy glass of mild was picked by two participants. Both regular and chocolate. Than to @hatdogsensei and @lumpiadobo . Great choice!
Mate
spaanstaligewereld.nl
Yerba Mate are leaves that are rich in caffeine and a very popular beverage across southern South America. It is really good, although it is a little expensive to buy here in the US. Normally it is prepared in hot water and you use a metal filtering straw to drink it. If you haven't tried it, it's good stuff if you ever get the chance! Thanks to @bigorna1 for this recommendation!
Fruit Kefir
cuisine.journaldesfemmes.fr
This one I have to admit is new to me. It's the favorite of @servelle and even provides us a recipe in a post. It's a fermented fruit drink that is said to be good for the immune system. I want to give a try here at some point, but will need to buy the right bottles first! Check out the post if you're interested:

Thanks @servelle !
Now moving onto the question for this week's entry.
What is your favorite kind of flower?
The Giveaway
I will be giving out one prize of five (5) HSBI. Second and Third prizes will be 2 DUO tokens, the token I recently launched with @bulliontools and @bitcoinman . It offers those who stake sufficient tokens daily curation on quality posts, dividends, and a tipping bot. It also helps to onboard and retain new Hive members. At the end of the post there is a link to the white paper and where to purchase the tokens. Fourth prize is 100 BBH tokens. Fifth prize will be 250 CCD tokens. To participate you need a reputation level of at least 25 and bots cannot win. And please one entry per person to make it fair to everyone.
If you would like to be placed on a weekly reminder list just let me know and I'll make sure you get tagged each week.

How to Enter
Every week this will change. I'm looking for engagement rather than just saying "I am in". There is no need to upvote or re-blog, although if you choose to do so I would appreciate it. This week's question is: What is your favorite kind of flower?
HSBI

Choosing the Winners
All valid entries will be placed on the Wheel of Names and I will spin it four times. The first prize will be 5 HSBI units. The second and third prize will be two DUO tokens. Fourth prize will be 100 BBH tokens. Fifth prize will be 250 CCD tokens. And since I am spinning the same wheel four times in a row it is theoretically possible for the same person to win all four prizes! Although I have yet to see it happen, maybe this week?
Deadline
One week from today which will be Sunday May 11, 2025 at 8 A.M. California Pacific Time.
