Not too long ago, a good friend of mine and I were the recipients of a generous Internet giveaway from people that we did not even know. I figured the only way to pay this kindness back would be to pay it forward. I’ve seen various forms of the giveaway below, and figured it would be a good one to use.

Here’s the deal. The first 5 people to leave a comment here will get a homemade gift from me. It doesn’t matter if I don’t know you. If you’re just randomly blog stalking (c’mon, we all do it) and you come across this post and want to be one of the first 5 to leave a comment, go for it! The only catch is that you have to pay the gift forward by reposting this on your blog/Facebook/Myspace. I will check to make sure you’ve done so.

I don’t know what the gift will be, but it will be homemade. I’ll get it to you sometime this year (but probably sooner than later so I don’t have it looming over my head). I don’t promise you’ll love it, but I’m not going to make you something I think you’ll hate, either, because that would be like an un-gift and defeat the entire purpose.
