Going somewhere for the holidays? This week’s giveaway will go with you.

Giveaway: “Tundra, Nature’s #1 Comic Strip.”
Chad Carpenter being Chad Carpenter, he just had to include a visual pun on the cover:
Look closely. If you don’t see it, you probably don’t deserve to win this week’s giveaway.
A neti pot with horsepower.
Each of us who attended BlogHer 2011 found a “SinuSense” in our conference bags. The best way I can describe it is a turbo neti pot. In a good way.
Made by Waterpik, it provides nasal irrigation quickly and efficiently. You’ll want to stand over a sink when this happens, by the way, and far from relatives with cell-phone cameras and visions of YouTube stardom.
Why would you want to irrigate your nose? Because the Mayo Clinic says it is “a safe, inexpensive and easy way to relieve symptoms of nasal and sinus congestion,” that’s why.
Giveaway: The Financial Blogger Conference package.
I’m not talking a “Greetings from Schaumburg!” ashtray, either.
Giveaway: The cold and flu package.
Anybody else here old enough to remember hot-water vaporizers with Vicks Vapo-Rub dissolved in them? Big glass-bodied things that bubbled and murmured and released a menthol-scented steam that helped us croupy kids breathe.
I rediscovered that aroma at BlogHer 2011 — in a box of tissues.
A funny T-shirt, for free.
I know, I know: You already have too many T-shirts. But do you have one that says, “The Constitution — I read it for the articles“?
Or how about, “250th Annual Zombie Run For The Cure,” which shows silhouettes of runners being chased by the walking dead?
Now you can — and free of charge, if the random number generator likes you best.
Books and bracelets: A second-chance offer.
The random number generator liked Jennifer best this week: She’s the winner of “The Prepper’s Pocket Guide: 101 Easy Things You Can Do to Ready Your Home for a Disaster” plus the paracord bracelet woven by the author, Bernie Carr.
A number of readers seemed to think the bracelet was too très stylin’. Here’s how you can get your own, and/or a personalized copy of last week’s giveaway book.
Want to go to the movies?
I went to “Transformers: Dark of the Moon” today. It was loud. And long. And loud. The final battle scene was interminable. Did I mention the volume?
Surely there’s something a little less grueling to see if you win this week’s giveaway.
Frugal Festival Food 2011: Fun, facts and, oh yeah, food.
Julia Scott, aka the Bargain Babe, believes in showing her gratitude. That’s why she organized the Frugal Festival in the Los Angeles area – to thank her readers.
This year, even non-L.A. readers can attend. Virtually speaking.
Giveaway: A $25 Office Depot gift card.
You know you want some office supplies. Let me hook you up.
