TIB’S SEASON OF GIVING 2025: Day 14

Here we are at the last day of this year’s Season of Giving, and what we’ve got here is the most recent non-food item I received from General Mills: A Peanuts mug set. It came with a bunch of Chex cereal and a few baking mixes.

Despite my perceived lack of drinking glasses because almost all of my beverage photos feature Pyrex measuring cups, I do not need this mug set. And you probably also don’t need this mug set because chance are that you have enough mugs in your kitchen. But if you NEED mugs, you should enter this prize drawing for four of them.

RULES:

To enter this prize drawing for this , leave a comment with THIS post, and that comment MUST include the word “vichyssoise.”

Remember to fill out the email field because we’ll be emailing the randomly selected winner for their mailing addresses.

We will stop accepting entries on Wednesday, December 31, 2025, at 6:00 p.m. Hawaii Standard Time. Only one comment is allowed per person, and it’s only open to U.S. residents.

JUST A FEW OF NOTES:

If you post a comment and it doesn’t show up, it ended up in our comment spam or trash folder for some strange reason. There’s no need to attempt to post another comment because I’ll be pulling those out of the comment spam vortex regularly.

Also, do not leave your comment using the blue REPLY button at the bottom of other comments. Scroll all the way down to the bottom of the page and leave your comment in the section above the blue POST COMMENT button. I know. Lots of scrolling. But it’ll totally be worth it if you win this.

Good luck!

FINE PRINT:

The Impulsive Buy won’t use your email address to send you emails with the subject line in a weird font or use your mailing address to send you an AARP in Cincinnati t-shirt. Bribes will not be accepted. The Impulsive Buy will not be responsible for lost mail, damaged mail, or not being able to find a place to put these mugs because you already have too many mugs.
