Win big with Overstock.com

Don’t you just hate it when you find the perfect Christmas gift for someone but it’s out of your reach? I usually spend more than I’ve budgeted, but I’d certainly spend a lot more if I had it. I love making grand gestures with my gifts, but, like pretty much everyone else, I’m constrained by financial limitations. Wouldn’t it be wonderful, just once, to be able to give whatever gifts you want?

That could happen with the All I want for Christmas Giveaway at Overstock.com! The contest runs for five days. Each day someone will win $1000 to spend on whatever they want from Overstock.com. If that’s not enough, at the end of the contest one lucky winner will win $5000! Have you seen the stuff that Overstock.com carries? You could give your favorite football fan a wide-screen plasma TV, or that special someone some diamond jewelry or some imported designer touches for their home. Almost anything you could possibly want to give is available so go ahead - dream!

My son is the one I was thinking of when I mentioned the TV above. He watches football every chance he gets, so I’d love to give him a wide-screen TV to watch with all of his friends. Would’t it be fun to have the money to buy for online friends, too, though? Maybe I’d give Cass a new oven to make it easier to feed her brood, and I’m sure Lisa would love a room full of toys for her two beautiful babies. Ann works hard and deserves something luxurious - maybe a home spa? My new pal The 13th Apostol will be moving back into her refurbished house soon. She needs some nice decorator items to make it feel more homey. Chuck Foxtrot aspires to be a better cook. I think I’d like to give him some new cookbooks and some gourmet cooking utensils. It’s fun to dream about what you’d do if had some extra wiggle room in your budget, isn’t it? Overstock.com could make that possible, but you can’t win if you don’t enter. You can enter once a day starting today, so get yourself over there, then come back and tell me what your dream prizes will be! Hmmm! Now that my friends know what I’d like to give them, maybe they’ll all register too, so they can win something for me. Not that it’s all about me, you understand, but as long as we’re dreaming …
