Every Monday, I love to share some of the neat things that I got in my mailbox the previous week and I encourage all of you to tell me about the special things you got too! These special things can be gifts you received, special greeting cards or giveaways you won on the web!
Typically I do these meme posts every Monday, but lately I’ve been doing them every other Monday, so feel free to list your goodies for the past 2 weeks.
Shelly ~ A few weeks ago I participated in a blogger campaign and a little Thank You gift arrived last week. We received the new Peppa Pig DVD and 4 new Peppa Pig notebooks. My little 14 month old grandson just started watching Peppa so he got the DVD and my 7 year old granddaughter got the notebooks. In addition to that package, my husband won 4 coupons for FREE packages of Italian Ice which we already redeemed two of them. Next week when I go grocery shopping, I’ll pick up the other 2 packages since our local store limits the free product coupons to two per visit on the same item. Totally stinks! Also, got a FREE sample pack of Depends which went to my very ill Mother-in-Law, who has since passed on since I originally wrote this post.
What kind of free samples, gifts, giveaway & contest wins, etc. arrived in your mailbox the past two weeks? Now is your time to brag all about them!
PS: I do have a question. How many of you are legally keeping track of all of the items you win from giveaways, contests and sweepstakes and reporting them on your taxes? Just curious.
My condolences n your Mother in Law’s passing…. my MIL was one of my best friends.
My mailbox was quite smelly in a good way- I won one of those fall candles and it iis strong enough I almost dont have to light it!
Do I keep track? Yes. I dont keep track of samples they are small, but larger things yes I do.
I’m so sorry your mother-in-law passed! My condolences to your your family.– As for your question about keeping track of prizes for taxes, I’m disabled/retired, so I doubt I’ll ever win anything costly enough to owe taxes, but I do kind of keep track just in case.
Thanks Tamra, very much appreciated. It’s been a rough 3 weeks here for sure.
The reason I asked about taxes is because I read online that if people win more than $500 worth of goodies (not a single item, but combined) that in MOST states, it has to be reported as income. I know some people who read this blog enter hundreds & hundreds of giveaways a week and win hundreds of them a year. I was curious to see how they were keeping track of these wins, documenting them and how many were being honest & reporting them?
It was a slow 2 weeks for my mailbox. I did get a $10 Amazon GC in my email.
I am sorry your mother-in-law is so ill. I hope she feels better soon.
I received my MAM prize package which will go to my next grandchild and a $25.00 Visa Prepaid card. I also received coupons and samples for Harris teas, Splenda Naturals and LIVrelief.
