Christmas giveaways! Two iPods and more!

by Bob on December 24, 2008

It’s that wonderful time of year again – Christmas! This year we have over $350 worth of goodies to give away! But, these giveaways are going to be a little bit different than the weekly giveaways. Let me explain…

To enter to win any of the items…

  1. Mention these Christmas giveaways on your website
  2. Come back to this post and leave a comment with the URL of where you mentioned it

That’s it!

If you don’t have a website you can…

So, my hope is that these giveaways can be win-win! By you mentioning the giveaway, I am hoping that it will draw some new readers to CPF and by posting your link in the comments of this post hopefully it will send some visitors to your site as well! Oh, and of course the biggest win is that you will have a good chance of winning something.

A few more details about the giveaways

  • Make sure you you make mention of it and comment on this post with the link by Monday December 29th at 11:59pm CST.
  • I will pick the winners using Random.org.
  • Check back on Tuesday December 30th. I will announce the winners on that day!

The goodies up for grabs

C.S. Lewis’ The Great Divorce Audiobook

The Great Divorce CS Lewis.jpgFrom the Amazon page: “The Great Divorce is C.S. Lewis’s Divine Comedy: the narrator bears strong resemblance to Lewis (by way of Dante); his Virgil is the fantasy writer George MacDonald; and upon boarding a bus in a nondescript neighborhood, the narrator is taken to Heaven and Hell. The book’s primary message is presented with almost oblique tidiness–”There are only two kinds of people in the end: those who say to God, ‘Thy will be done,’ and those to whom God says, in the end, ‘Thy will be done.’” However, the narrator’s descriptions of sin and temptation will hit quite close to home for many readers. Lewis has a genius for describing the intricacies of vanity and self-deception, and this book is tremendously persistent in forcing its reader to consider the ultimate consequences of everyday pettiness.”

The Little Book of Bull Moves in Bear Markets by Peter Schiff

littlebook bull moves bear market.jpg

From the Amazon Page: “Written by seasoned Wall Street prognosticator Peter Schiff–author of the bestselling book Crash Proof: How to Profit from the Coming Economic Collapse–The Little Book of Bull Moves in Bear Markets reveals how you should protect your assets and invest your money when the American economy is experiencing perilous economic downturns and wealth building is happening elsewhere. Filled with insightful commentary, inventive metaphors, and prescriptive advice, this book shows you how to make money under adverse market conditions by using a conservative, nontraditional investment strategy.”

Overworked, Overwhelmed & Underpaid by Louis Barajas

Overworked, overwhelmed underpaid.jpgFrom the Amazon page:

Overworked, Overwhelmed, and Underpaid is about creating a human experience through the coaching tools Louis Barajas uses with his clients. Perfect for people who are frustrated and struggling to express their full potential and live their highest purpose, this book takes readers through a four-step process to develop the self-confidence to not only build wealth but also live the life of their dreams.

Hey Bob, I have my trackback up there, great idea you are doing here! I love it. let me know if we can enter more than once if we have a squidoo page, too.

And does myspace and hubpages work? If so, I can have my wife mention it there for you…I’ll probably have her do it anyways. She gets some decent traffic to her myspace blog, too.

Excellent giveaway!
It was great coming across your blog. You’ve got quite a few good posts set on finances. I think I can apply some of your budgeting tips to my life..
Wouldn’t mind one of the music players, as I’m a runner and it’s much easier to do distance when the the mind focuses on something other than the pain.

Thanks for the opportunity!
