Pay it Forward Contest

I've decided to enter one of bloggerdom's classic fun things. A Pay it Forward Contest. And not just any Pay it Forward Contest, it's a great big group event!

The contest starts today (Monday, June 30) and ends on Friday.

Here's how it works. Leave me a comment here, let's make it easy on all of us. What fun thing would you like to see arrive in your mail box? [make sure I have a way of getting in touch with you if you win, (a link to your blog, e-mail, or check back here to see if you've won)]

Sometime after Friday, I'll randomly pick a winner. I'll notify the winner, and very shortly afterwords, I'll mail out a package of something fun. I'm going to do my best to pick things specifically for the winner, so it might not be a next day thing, I'll have to do my research. (Be specific in those comments and I may get your package out sooner!!!) If you are the winner, you host a contest of your own on your blog, paying it forward. (If you don't have a blog, and you still want to play on my blog you can! If you win, I'll select another random winner from my comments, and you can send them a gift, and the pay it forward will continue. )

Now, the group part, there is a great big list of blogs with contests on Swistle's blog. You can enter one or all of them.

Okay? Enter today, don't forget to tell me what you'd like to find in your mailbox!!!

(Oh, and BTW, that 100th post, well, I'll get it posted sometime before the 200th)

I don't think a maid would fit in my mailbox without being really grumpy...so...

I love Chico bags (www.chicobag.com), and I'm sure I'd love those reusable Target bags that Swistle writes about (though I've never seen them, our closest Target is 40 minuts away), but I'd love them more filled with a few packages of Mounds candy bars! :)

Anything! Very unhelpful, I know, but I just love getting mail.

MzEll said...

I Love BOOKS!! Also, I am in denial about my collection of cat things, but I love them dearly. Anything kitschy/kiddy Halloween in fantastically fantastic!!

Magic stuff to make my two middle kids stop bickering - they are driving me insane!

Hmmm...I get to choose? If I win, I'd love something that you love...like a favourite hair product or a yummy home fragrance or the best dishcloth you've ever used etc... Thanks!

Mary O said...

Something that smells good like a candle or a yummy lotion.

Barb said...

I love office supplies (dorky, I know.) Or a paperback that you've loved and you want to pass along to someone else to enjoy!

swiffer pads? That's the first thing that came to mind, so I assume it's what my heart desires most in life.

"Make me a bicycle clown!" hehehe, jk!
I'm always a sucker for a great movie :)

Heather said...

I'd like to teach the world to sing...

...er, or something else. No biggie.

SP said...

I've been home with my children for 8 days straight now... I'm thinking a bottle of wine would be heaven sent. No really, heaven sent, as in the whole water to wine thingy.

Britni said...

I love gift cards, stuff from Target, shoes, cute jewelry/accessories. Oh the list could go on and on.

Jenny Grace said...

Would a naked man fit?

Drew and Emily said...

homemade crafts, I love homemade stuff.

Something that wasn't a bill!

I like handmade things! Books, movies, candy, stationary, or anything you like is cool, too!

Aimee @ Smiling Mama said...

Oh this is so hard! But I love anything that is "real" mail and not a bill!

jenny said...

who can go wrong with lots and lots of reese peanut butter cups. or post it notes. or pens. or gummy worms. :)

Unknown said...

I like treats. And fun things that I don't feel like I should buy myself, like stickers or nail polish or scrumptious lip gloss.

I would love to find a love letter from my hubby in my mailbox. Heck, a heart drawn on the fog in the bathroom mirror would be fine with me!

Jenny H. said...

Re-usable Target bags work for me, too!

Dr. Blondie said...

Books or clothes!

ya ya's mom said...

Catherine said...

chocolate, aprons, buttons, crafy stuff, great photos

I'd love a new car. Do you think that would fit in my mailbox? And actually I need a new mailbox, too. But I love surprises.

nicole said...

A book (fiction), stationery, recipes, (cheap) jewelry, cool pens. Those are things I wouldn't mind finding.

Safire said...

A list of cool twin things or non-chocolate treats!

Ginny said...

I'm up for anything, but I'd love some new scrapbook products! I haven't been out shopping for supplies in a long time & don't have any of the cool new releases :)

Laura said...

I'd love some of those crafty embellishments that I never buy for myself -- things to put on cards, use in crafts, etc.

CP said...

Hmmmm, lots of good ideas so far: reuseable Target bags, WINE, books - all excellent ideas. Any of those sound great to me!

Thanks for entering our contest over at 3giraffes as well. I love finding all of these new blogs to read.

Michelle said...

Ok, I would like a check to arrive. A really large check. Well not physically large, but numerically large. And one that wouldn't bounce. Sound good? :)

A copy of one of the favorite books of either of your boys.

Something chocolate...something crafty...something homemade...a gift card to Dunkin' Donuts so I can get some freaking iced coffee one of these freaking days...I think I need some right now.

Anonymous said...

Mmmmm, chocolate things.

Blondie said...

Fabric. I love fabric. And Target... and wine... and chocolate. :)

Mommy Daisy said...

I like Hello Kitty (or any Sanrio things), stationery for snail mail, anything homemade, cute kitchen towels, snacks, and chocolate. I think that was pretty random. ;)

Unknown said...

Am I too late? I've done one of these before and it's fun! Thanks!

books. amazon.com gift certificates. just about anything from etsy, because apparently i have been sucked in. or, if you're going for big items, how about a horse? hmmm, a bronzer powder? a cute summer purse? a cute necklace? or, whatever your heart desires!
