#SwagsGiving is Here


I’ve been looking around the house and have decided that it is time for me to give away a lot of the things that I have gotten over the years at conferences. These are new things, but things that I have never used. These are also things that I have upgraded in my life and no longer need the earlier versions. Basically SwagsGiving is my way to give back to you my readers in a very real and material way. This year I have been unbelievably fortunate to find sponsorship from some amazing brands and because of that I have all sorts of cool prizes to giveaway.

SwagsGiving is going to happen each day from November 1 to November 30th. Each day I’ll put up a SwagsGiving post explaining how to participate. The post will also have an announcement of the previous days winner plus what the person won. Here’s the twist. You won’t know what you are winning until it is announced. I have prizes from Seagate, Kodak and Toy State as well as books, and various other prizes. So, here are the rules.

Today is your first chance to enter to win a prize from my SwagsGiving event. Remember to come back each day to see if you won and to enter for the next day’s SwagsGiving Prize.

1 Entry – Mandatory to Enter – To enter the contest leave a comment on each day’s SwagsGiving post with your guess about what might be in my SwagsGiving Swag bag. Leave this as your FIRST comment.

I will not respond to any comments so that I can run the Random.org numbers correctly. The winner will be notified via e-mail and will have 48 hours to reply with a U.S. Mailing address so that we can send the winner their prize. Contest is open to U.S. Only. Prizes will be mailed out at the end of the month. You may win more than once. Please enter every day on the SwagsGiving post for that day.

Swag that I received from IZEAFest 2009

My box of IZEAFest swag.. I...

At every conference I have ever attended I’ve been loaded down with Swag. I have to pack separate bags just to take it home and sometimes I even have to ship it home. It takes me a while to go through all of it and make follow ups with all the great people that gave me things so I apologize for this post being rather late. However, the swag I’m talking about is not what you think.
