Well, since I was the proud winner of a gift from Stewgad, I am required by blogging good karma law to make the same offer to you all…
I hereby promise to send some sort of tangible, physical gift before the end of this calendar year to the first 5 commenters on this post. In light of my desire to not consume too rabidly, I promise it will be a mindful gift — what does that mean? I don’t know, but I’ll figure it out — maybe something that reuses in a creative way or something bought to support charity or something politically progressive or something from my sock drawer that I was going to throw out anyway Whatever it is, I will make sure it is respectful (and really really fun). SQUEEE!!! A present I want to give!
However, the catch is, if I promise to gift you, you must offer the same on your blog (if you have one) and must also make your gifts mindful!
C’mon — are there any takers out there? If no one wants my presents, I’ll cry (and keep them).

Hey - No gift required, I’m getting one elsewhere, but I love your idea of sustainability/mindfulness. I’ll totally adopt it for my gifts. (of which there is still one outstanding. What’s wrong with people? Don’t they want stuff?)

I want a gift! I don’t have a blog yet, but I will next week and I’ll pass on your offer there! Promise! But, I live in Korea. . . Is that okay? You could send my mom in the United States a gift instead if you want.

Sure Anon, I’ll be an international gifter! IF, and only if, you get your blog going (bwah - ha - ha - ha!)… I’m like Hannibal Lecter - “quid pro quo Clarice…”

OK this sounds too sweet to pass up.. although already I am fearing the work of finding a suitable gift to pass on when it is my turn.

I’m game! I’m excited just to see what qualifies as “mindful,” then totally copy the idea and pay it forward. Yay, a surprise…there aren’t enough of those in my life…at least not the good kind.
