TIB’S SEASON OF GIVING 2024: Day 2

Marvo Announcement, Prize Drawing

This mystery box is shaped differently than the others. That’s because it contains a ba…Oh, I almost gave it away. I can tell you what’s in this box is all swag from the same company. I think. I sealed it up already so I might’ve snuck something else in it to make room in another mystery box. I mean, you know how it goes when trying to stuff as much as you can in USPS Flat Rate Priority Boxes. It’s like trying to put clowns in a clown car or potato chip crumbs into your mouth.

RULES:

To enter this prize drawing for this Mystery Box of accumulated swag, leave a comment with THIS post, and that comment MUST include the word “kumquat.”

Remember to fill out the email field because we’ll be emailing the randomly selected winner for their mailing addresses.

We will stop accepting entries on Friday, December 27, 2024, at 6:00 p.m. Hawaii Standard Time. Only one comment is allowed per person, and it’s only open to U.S. residents.

JUST A FEW OF NOTES:

If you post a comment and it doesn’t show up, it ended up in our comment spam or trash folder for some strange reason. There’s no need to attempt to post another comment because I’ll be pulling those out of the comment spam vortex regularly.

Also, do not leave your comment using the blue REPLY button at the bottom of other comments. Scroll all the way down to the bottom of the page and leave your comment in the section above the blue POST COMMENT button. I know. Lots of scrolling. But it’ll totally be worth it if you win this.

Good luck!
