Crappy PrizesCompetitions, raffles, give-aways... sure the prizes look great, but don't they always turn out a bit crap should you happen to win them?
The last raffle I bought tickets for, they'd just given away the all-expenses paid weekend in New York when my number came up. Rushing up to find out what I'd won, I was a little disappointed to be handed a box of "Biscuits for Cheese". Especially as they were busy serving the cheese course (complete with biscuits) as they drew the raffle.

Genuine GratitudeAged 6, I won (and luckily I didn't get too used to the feeling...) a poetry competition at school. I wrote a lovely poem about Holland, and dutch cheeses being as big as kneeses, etc.
All entrants got a prize of a pen with some or other corporate branding, but for winning, I got to *choose first*. I chose green, and to this day, it was my proudest win :)
