Prizes for all (okay for five people) are my fave

Back in September (sorry, I’ve been busy craigslisting card catalogs and seeing how many cardigans I can stuff in my closet) I won a little pay it forward giveaway from Meghan. So now it’s my time to pay up and choose five people to receive a little prize. But wait just one second eager beaver, before you sign up there’s a little catch. If you’re one of the five chosen, you have to promise in return that you’ll pass along prizes to five other people. Because if you don’t, I will hunt you down and take your prize right back.

Sound like a plan? For your chance to win, leave a comment on this post by Wednesday, November 25th. Oh, and don’t think that the prize has to be a solid gold chocolate bar. A fun postcard or batch of cookies would suffice.

    i love this idea, i started swap-bot recently and yes, it's fun to receive but i must say i get even more out of creating and sending to perfect strangers. what do they call that, unconditional? (ha ha) and couldn't think of a better time of year (and economic disposition) to practice that. great idea, if it's successful, maybe you could create a swap in the same fashion.

  • On November 20, 2009 , Maggie said:

    Oh, yes. I am into this.

    Almost as much as I'm into fake snow in libraries. Love the winter Anthro catalogue.

    Hope I win!
