Agoraphobics call it, “The Season of Avoiding Shopping Malls and the Post Office.”<\/p>\n

Retail workers who don’t work on commission call it, “The Worst Time to Work in Retail.” <\/p>\n

But for many, they call this time of year, “The Season of Giving.”<\/p>\n

Right now, I’m in the mood to give and if I could give you all a gift, I would. But with several thousand regular readers, it would be extremely pricey to do so. If I had a stolen credit card with a large credit limit, I might be able to pull it off, but I don’t and I’m afraid of going to prison for identity theft and becoming a white-collar bitch.<\/p>\n

Instead, I’m going to have a prize drawing. I have three prizes to give away — one I reviewed recently, another I reviewed a long time ago and another I didn’t review at all, but you might be able to get some DNA off of it and clone me. Here are the three prizes:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/center><\/p>\n

1. Twin Lotus Herbal Toothpaste<\/a><\/u> – The poop-looking toothpaste I reviewed last year. I recently received a new tube.<\/p>\n

2. Terracycle M&M’s Candy Wrapper Speakers<\/a><\/u> – Portable speakers made out of candy wrappers and other recycled materials.<\/p>\n

3. Bunny Ears Cap from San’s Little Frog<\/a><\/u> – The same bunny ears cap I wore in Episode #8 of The Impulsive Buy Podcast. It’s a handmade fleece hat that I wore for less than an hour while shooting the episode. It’s a large size, made for heads that are 25 inches or larger around).<\/p>\n
