ANNOUNCEMENT: The Impulsive Buy’s 2025 Season of Giving

It’s here! The Impulsive Buy’s 2025 Season of Giving…

…Away Things That Companies Send With Their Products.

Starting tomorrow (December 10th), for many days (yes, even weekends), we will be giving away something that some company has sent us throughout the year and some other stuff I happened to have come across while decluttering. They will mostly be from General Mills. Last year, we did mystery boxes, but this year I’m going to show you what the prizes are.

Rules and deadlines for the individual prize drawings will be in their respective posts. The title of those posts will begin with “TIB’S SEASON OF GIVING 2025.”

So keep an eye out for them!

Good luck!
