What’s a celebration without a pinata? In keeping up with the weekend theme – I am putting up this giveaway that will go through the rest of the weekend and I will announce the winner on Monday evening during my Bloggiesta wrap up post.
So – wonder what is inside?

Thanks for hosting this! My mom used to make us a homemade pinata for our bday parties – and we would hit it with a broomstick!

Oh I forgot about Bloggiesta. Sounds fun. What I used? I think a bat, I don’t remember its been so long ago.
Great giveaway, thanks!

I used to hit birthday party pinatas with my brother’s wooden baseball bat.
I gave it a big whack with a baseball bat!

Can I hit it with my laptop!? Everytime I complete one task for bloggiesta two more pop up I need to work on!
LOL – yes Lydia – you can hit it with whatever you like 🙂 The originality cracks me up. I think I would hit it with a steely stare 🙂
A sawed off broomhandle. That is also a very good prop for physical therapy exercises!
In our house we use lightsabers to attack pinatas!
I’d hit the pinata with the end of my Swiffer.
Fun giveaway! Thanks for the chance.
we use to use a broom stick to hit ours with needless to say it caused a lot ot scattering : )

A baseball bat! Though I think my purse would probably be the most effective!
a majorette’s baton!
thanks for the giveaway 🙂
I threw the vacuum cleaner wand at it!
Thanks.

We used a broom held upside down, or a stick from the old broom.

We used to try to break it open with a broomstick when that didn’t work we would try and tear it open….Now that I think of it and write it out we almost sound like a bunch of crazies but we just never seemed to be able to break it open.
I’m using the missing extender piece from the vaccuum cleaner. It must be with the pinata because I can’t find it anywhere else.
I got into big trouble in 5th grade-I was supposed to break the pinata during a school play-it would not break-my meanie teacher held it and I whacked her (not intentionally) with the pointer. My mum was a school teacher so trust me big trouble.
What would I whack it with this time-my wooden stick or rolling pin.
You know I want the chocolate because I am a hoarder of chocolate-I found some Christmas chocolate in the freezer next to the Easter chocolate next to the package I already won from you.
We used to use a golf club – FORE!!!! Come to think of it, I hit the pinata better than I hit the golf ball now. 🙂 I read some reviews on Labor Day, sound like a good one.
How sweet of you to host a bloggiesta giveaway! I would love to enter! We used to use a bat 🙂

Today is my cleaning day so I used my swiffer floor cleaner handle! It only took one shot!
We have used a mop handle. It worked really well although not real creative.
A croquet mallet or tennis racket. We’re not baseball people. I love pinatas!!
I made Pinatas at Christmas for the nieces/nephews and then the grandchildren for many years. Depending on the age we used a broom handle or a hockey stick handle.

We actually buy a ‘pinata stick’ from the party store.

Wonderful and sweet giveaway. We used a plastic bat.
We used the baseball bat that my mother kept under her bed for self-defense. (Once she almost whomped my father with that thing. He got out of bed & went to the other end of the house. She woke up, saw a shadow . . . yowza! Good thing he yelled, “Hey, it’s me!”)
Like the green very much!
BTW, I have a giveaway going on, too! I’m giving away “This One is Mine.” Readers can enter until midnight June 15, 2010!

After a close call, my family decided the broomsticks were a bit too dangerous for pinata hitting. Instead we used plastic bats. It took a little longer to break the pinata open, but when we all felt really accomplished.
Thanks for hosting this giveaway.

You are so cute! What a fun idea! Ummmm…what to use? My son has this big ugly baseball bat that he never uses (he’s too little still), it should definitely get some use.
Thanks again!
i hit the pinata with a sparkly baton
I would choose Samari a sword. Slice it right open!
We used to hit it with a broom handle. Tonight though I will hit it with the next family member who bugs me while I am bloggiesta-ing. LOL
I used a lightning rod to hit the pinata…we’ve had quite a few storms here in the past few days! Thanks for the chance to win…
I would definitely use a sword, so I could pierce it!

a shovel…because then i could scoop up all the stuff on the inside!
a baseball bat 🙂

Oh, shoot! Yeah, I mean I’d shoot that pinata with a .357 Magnum. Um, I’m writing murder mystery now, so have to stay in the genre.
We had one of these last year for my nieces and nephews, they started out with a plastic bat. When it wouldn’t break we gave them a wooden broom handle! tWarner419@aol.com
I USED MY STAR WARS LIGHT SABER TO STRIKE THE PIINATA. iT WAS THE CLOSEST
I would use a baseball bat.
What a fun giveaway! We used to use plastic baseball bats, but when it wouldn’t break, we’d poke it with a yardstick and give the bats back to the kids to whack away!
How about a tire iron?

(I love these shades of green!!!)
We are in the middle of a bathroom renovation. I would use all manner of construction bits to whack it. Top choice would be the hose of the shop vac which is ALWAYS in the way.
I’ve used broomsticks and baseball bats for pinatas in the past. There is something so cathartic about hitting them, isn’t there? LOL!

I’m in trouble. I’ve never hit a Pinata. So, I have to pretend. If I ever had the chance to hit a Pinata, I would use a crepe paper rose. He’s to cute too hurt(smile). A book and a box of chocolates??? You can’t ask for anything more than that. I love, love chocolates.
Your blog looks so happy and cheerful. It’s really pretty. I like being here. Must come more often. Don’t need an invitation. I’ll just shake a leg and come over any old time.
Great post! I would have to use a lightsaber if I could. If we’re being realistic then I’d use a poker. 🙂
Everytime we have done a pinata, we have used a broom handle. I’ve been places where they have used a baseball bat, but that is dangerous. Broomhandles are longer and not as heavy. Great fun for all ages.
The only pinata I ever hit was at some high school event ( I can’t remember the occasion) and we used a meter stick.

Hmm, we need to hit the pinata with something hard, so I wouldn’t use a plastic bat or toy saber. I’ve been said to be hard headed, so I think I’d use my head. Then the book and chocolate would fall into my arms. Perfect!
Back home we had these long sticks with hooks at the end to help pluck drumsticks (a vegetable). I would use that for my pinata 🙂
In the past we used wooden bats, broom handles, and things like that.
This time around I would use my fists. it has been a bad week!! LOL!

Pinatas are such fun! I remember hitting at Pinatas
with a broom stick. Many thanks, Cindi
A baseball bat!!!
Hi there, great contest. I think a baseball bat would do the job nicely 🙂
Thanks for the giveaway. I am so inventive I would use a plastic baseball bat LOL
Love & Hugs,

A broom stick. Thanks for the chance at this great giveaway.
Doesn’t everyone use the Louisville Slugger that their uncle told you was signed by Willie Mays and that you should never take it out of the closet or touch it? Oh that was just me that chose to use the Say Hey Kid’s bat for a pinata. Oops!
I got no candy that day:(
It’s been a lot of years ago, but I believe we used my brother’s baseball bat. Oh, such memories of fun!
Blessings,
Cindy W.
Great contest!
I remember my step mother making homemade pinatas , it was ALWAYS blast, then we would use our old broom sticks to hit them open!
The grandchildren used to use Granddad’s Walking Stick. I believe he enjoyed this better than we did and we had a blast.
Thanks for the unique giveaway!
We always used a bat, but today I’d use my husband’s tire thumper. (He’s a truck driver). Great blog, and always fun to read all the comments. Thanks for the giveaway!

We used an old broom handle for our pinatas.
