Giveaway: One more from FinCon13.

by

winnerA couple of weeks ago I had the Plutus Awards giveaway: a backpack full of goodies given to winners of the awards, along with fun stuff picked up in the expo hall at the Financial Blogger Conference. This week I’ve got a prize that’s almost as good as that one.

Crystal, who blogs at Budgeting in the Fun Stuff, donated her backpack o’treats to the giveaway cause. Thanks to her and also to my daughter, who donated some of her expo hall swag, we’ve got what I guess could be described as the Miss Congeniality Awards giveaway: It’s super-nice and super-fun, but not quite as tip-top as the first-place winner.

A nice little backpack with a “State Farm” logo on it has been filled with, among other things:

  • Water bottle: This h2go bfree bottle holds 20 ounces and is BPA-free. Courtesy of the online coupon site Savings.com.
  • Insulated drinking glass: It’s BPA-free, with a tight lid and a straw that cannot fall out, and bears the Ally Bank logo.
  • Wireless mouse: This one’s also from Ally Bank.
  • Emergency mobile device battery: Yet another treat from Ally, this works for most cell phones, game consoles, digital cameras, MP3 players and Bluetooth headsets.
  • Notebooks!: A ledger-sized one with lined sheets from the online investing site Betterment, a medium-sized one with its own pen from State Farm and a small one from Savings.com.
  • Reusable shopping bags: You can never have too many of these things. One is from Chase and the other from EverBank.
  • T-shirts: A navy blue one from Betterment and a white one advertising Savings.com’s new grocery app, Favado.
  • Light-up ball: This clear rubber ball, with an Experian logo, has a map of the world inside and flashes a strobe-like red light when it’s bounced. Way cool! It may drive your cat crazy, though.
  • Stress pig: This cute little reproduction of a piggy bank has a Chase logo. My anthropomorphism instinct kicked in big-time, so there’s no way could I squeeze it. For me, the stress relief would come from looking at its soft pink cuteness and maybe rubbing it between its ears.

A few other small items are included, but I’ll let you be surprised by them.

To enter:

If you do any (or all!) of these things, please leave separate, additional comments to get credit for each entry.

The deadline is 7 p.m. PST Tuesday, Nov. 12. If I don’t hear back from the winners by 7 p.m. PST Wednesday, Nov. 13, I’ll pull another name.

  23. I get your emails and follow you on facebook.
    It’s too bad a certain reader is no longer around. That was a nifty way to keep up also.
    I usually gloss over blog contests, but this one sounds cool.
