ideeli partnered with six world-class brands to create a dream gift for "Thanks A Million." Designed to celebrate ideeli surpassing the one million member milestone in November, 2009, the "Thanks a Million" program was created to reward both existing members and welcome new visitors to the ideeli family via a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Nearly 120,000 members entered the contest on the ideeli site, with the grand prize drawing occurring at midnight February 1st 2010. The "Thanks-A-Million" program launched three months ago, with ideeli membership experiencing growth of 75%, to 1.75 million members, over the past three months.

Since its inception in 2007, ideeli has parlayed insider relationships with its fashion, lifestyle and travel brand partners to create exciting member-only events.

"We are thrilled to reward this amazing prize to Ms. Turner.  Our members find ideeli to be an exciting, engaging place to shop, and this is a fun and rewarding experience we can give them to say thank you for their loyalty and support," states CEO Paul Hurley. "It also gives our brand partners a chance to reach our members directly, which is very valuable."

"I LOVE to shop on ideeli! I love experiencing new brands and finding new designers," exclaimed winner, Kimberly. "I used to live in New York and would get such a rush from sample sales.  Now that I am in Chicago, there was nothing like it, until ideeli. Right now I am a little overwhelmed.  These are all such great prizes individually, and to win them all as one package is so exciting.  Miami is my favorite place to visit in the U.S. so I am thrilled to get a chance to go there again soon (and on a private jet nonetheless!)"

In addition to the grand prize, each individual brand also participated in a surprise weekly giveaway.
