    I like this item because I am in dire need of an umbrella when it rains. happy holidays!

    I like the iPhone case because I’m currently unemployed and I need something to protect my iPhone so that I won’t have to purchase a new one in the event that I should drop it. It’s tough times right now…a wool felt iPhone case with leather snap closure would really cheer my unemployed-ass up. I used to work as an at-risk youth counselor for the city. Helping underprivileged youth doesn’t pay all that much, but I think it’s a great card to pull when you’re competing for gift giveaways.

    the umbrella fo sho, especially commuting an hour every day to work, when it rains, it can get gruesome. also, for the obvious golf reasons, instead of lugging those huge golf umbrellas around when it may not rain, and also not being surprised with a sudden storm while playing golf, this can easily be kept everywhere you go and can sustain the winds to continually keep the club grips dry. looks + functionality are hard to come by. that’s what she said.

    It’s getting cold… Slippers would be nice to keep my feet toasty…

    Too bad they don’t have usb powered foot warmers embedded in them like the ones i saw from China…

    Still, Lithuanian Linen, a half decent alliteration and nice looking to boot… or slipper

  5. Richard December 1, 2009 at 1:19 am #

    Umbrella is a must need in Taiwan

  6. Mike December 1, 2009 at 7:23 am #

    The shirt because I need more style

  7. Pat December 1, 2009 at 8:02 am #

    an in case combo charger so that I can always keep my phone up and running when I’m on the go! actually…i thought it was a charger used to jump your car if it ran out of batteries…but I just googled it and it was something totally different…

  8. Kristen December 1, 2009 at 8:14 am #

    I would love the blurb gift card!!! I was thinking a great present for my family would be scanning and adding some personalization to old photos. Plus, blurb is so cool and gives you tons of creative freedom!!

  9. Richard Mutka December 1, 2009 at 8:31 am #

    Marshmallow Blaster for sure…If its raining don’t go outside…stay in and blast marshmallows in your not so stylish friends mouth. It does not require a combo charger, or wool felt carrying case and you don’t need a permit to carry one of these bad boys around. Shaver???? you know that stubble makes marshmallows stick to you face…don’t shave. With all these marshmallows blasting in your mouth, who needs a cook book by a guy who uses the travel shaver anyways? I want this marshmallow blaster to blast the people wearing the Julian Scarf and Fog Linen Slippers…they deserve it. Blurb photo book?…Take pictures of the super fun time I’m having with the marshmallow blaster? No….it was cause great jealousy and envy…i wouldn’t want to do that to my friends. Marshmallow Blaster all the way.

    i voted for the cookbook because i’ve been wanting to learn how to cook but am not motivated enough to go out and buy a book or look up recipes on my own. aite you got me, oliver looks mad sexy on the cover.

  11. chinchilla December 1, 2009 at 9:29 am #

    i voted for the marshmallow shooter as i would like to take aim at all the various solicitors that keep coming by the house

  12. Jen December 1, 2009 at 10:38 am #

    the scarf! gotta keep warm and hide my goodies haha.

  13. normz December 1, 2009 at 10:40 am #

    As the traveling salesman, there is no better friend than a nice durable compact umbrella to last you through the different weathers you encounter. It also helps that the slick design will surely be a conversation starter

  14. angela December 1, 2009 at 11:37 am #

    I’m WAY overdue on making a Blurb book for our wedding photos. This would give me the incentive to actually do it!

  15. rachel December 1, 2009 at 12:21 pm #

    Definitely the Blurb photo book … motivation to finally get the baby photos into an album! :)

  16. Pete December 1, 2009 at 12:41 pm #

    The Proper Cloth shirts are dope. I need more!

  17. KO December 1, 2009 at 2:17 pm #

    Proper Cloth shirt because they’re so easy to customize

  18. caroline December 1, 2009 at 3:57 pm #

    I want Executive Elite Marshmallow Blaster to shoot my brother Richard Mutka in the face for leaving such a gay comment!!!!!

  22. marja December 1, 2009 at 10:44 pm #

    The Marshmallow Blaster – simply bc I’ve never seen one before and I think it would make people laugh lots!

  23. ray December 1, 2009 at 11:29 pm #

    I had given up on umbrellas since watching my last 3 irreversibly explode in my face during less than monsoon-like conditions. The DAVEK umbrella has the potential to both restore my faith in umbrella design and keep me dry and stylish at the same time.

  24. Tim December 2, 2009 at 12:02 am #

    The slippers are sleek, stylish, and comfortable. They are a true essential for any modern day urban dweller.

  25. CJ December 2, 2009 at 6:13 am #

    I would like a Proper Cloth dress shirt, specifically the Daddy Warbucks design.

  26. R bucks December 2, 2009 at 8:15 am #

    Because Proper Cloth is dope!

  27. Brian M. December 2, 2009 at 10:00 am #

    After a day filled with classes and working with children doing dynamic exercises, I would love a pair slippers to walk around with before heading back to campus to do even more studying.

  28. Brenda December 2, 2009 at 12:07 pm #

    The incase charger seemed like the best option because I don’t wear dress shirts, I don’t need new slippers and I don’t particularly enjoy shooting marshmallows at work.

  29. Dex December 2, 2009 at 1:18 pm #

    the portable shaver to stay so fresh and so clean

  30. Annie December 3, 2009 at 11:42 am #

    the portable shaver because my bro needs one :-)

  31. Scott December 3, 2009 at 12:02 pm #

    Windproof Umbrella. Afraid my skinny frame might blow away in a rainstorm without one.

  32. Steve December 3, 2009 at 2:31 pm #

    I would love the scarf. I think it’s a really cool design and would wear it all winter!

  33. Chaz December 4, 2009 at 11:32 am #

    Marshmallow gun! The look on someones face after you sneak up on them and make them eat your white snowball heat: priceless.

  34. mike December 4, 2009 at 11:59 am #

    Custom shirt just screams pimp. The lovely ladies of Virginia Beach need to see me in such a shirt… hook a brotha up.

  36. Gdog December 4, 2009 at 5:06 pm #

    Cool site! I like the shaver and the incase for iPhone. I want it free!!!

    thanks Phill

  37. Eric December 5, 2009 at 8:54 am #

    Who doesn’t like a gun that shoot’s marshmallow?

  38. Konrad December 5, 2009 at 2:08 pm #

    Custom shirt for sure. Proper Cloth is pimp.

  39. FMike December 7, 2009 at 2:47 pm #

    It’s raining in LA? Need an umbrella to keep myself dry. Merry xmas to me.

  40. skim December 8, 2009 at 4:40 pm #

    i want the jamie’s food book because i like to cook and eat food – and if you give it to me, you can cook and eat food with me.

  41. Veronica December 8, 2009 at 8:47 pm #

    Umbrella! Standing in the rain, waiting for the bus to come, a definite must-have on any commuter’s wish list!

  42. David H. December 9, 2009 at 8:35 am #

    Panasonic ultra thin shaver! I’ve always wanted an electric shaver, especially one that is convenient for travel purposes.

  43. Michelle C. December 11, 2009 at 5:12 pm #

    I am a poor graduate student with a loving boyfriend who cooks for her whether she is hungry or not. What’s more, is that he loves to cook dishes from his beloved Jamie Oliver’s TV shows and old, tattered cookbook. If my boyfriend liked men, he would make a dash for Jamie (assuming Jamie liked men as well). Unfortunately, compromises must be made and he is settling for me. My boyfriend’s 29th birthday (yikes) is next Wednesday, so I’d like to present him with this meaningful present. Since he is all about helping me save money and helping himself at that as well, he would be thrilled to receive this gift. Plus, I’ve heard quite a few great things about freshestgear.com from friends!
