I say go for the chopper or the tote. Seriously, just think about all the recipes you can make up with a chopper!!!
Handblender.
Go for the chopper if you don't have one - I love mine and use it a lot.
We buy ourselves kitchen appliances all the time without thinking, but we rarely give a second thought the sleeping bag. That'd be my choice.
I vote for the sleeping bag.
I'd go for the chopper as well. If you need a free coffee pot I'm pretty sure I have one, although not one with a timer. Fancy!
handblender. definitely the handblender.
Donate the prize bact to the AA. Not a sermon, just a thought! ;-)
Oooh, the chopper! Get the chopper!
(Would it be useless to point out that nobody will be suggesting the belly dancing class this time?)
Kiddo, I say sleeping bag. You never know when your power may go out and you'll be cold.
What prize did you pick? My choice would definitely be the sleeping bag. I have a fleece bag from LL Bean and I live in it all winter in my house and use it in the summer for camping.
Wow. I considered defaulting to the hooded sweatshirt, but not ONE vote. It's a good thing I polled, huh?
That said, the votes are as follows:
Handblender |||||
Tote |
Sleeping Bag ||||
For Jim - I can't donate it back. Most of these companies donated these gifts as incentives. You can take them or you not, but you can't redirect the donation into cash, so that's out.
So my decision? The sleeping bag. The reason is that I have a whisk, and then I remembered that I also have a Pampered Chef chopper. Goodness knows I don't use that one... so I'll try my hand with something that I don't have this time. Minimally, it will be a nice trunk blanket... you know, in case I get caught in a snowstorm in the mountains of PA on Friday. Toasty.
