Gelt, $34 for 2.2 pounds
Yeah, it’s a lot of gelt, but this stuff is good, and if you’re throwing a party, you’ll want a lot on hand.  You can buy it in smaller packages, too, just keep in mind that no one likes the dark chocolate as much.  Voice of experience here.

Oh Nuts! has been providing Rob and me with our gelt for the past few years, and I’ve teamed up with the company before to bring the Amber Show readers fun giveaways.  Here is another one: leave a comment on this post saying which Hanukkah gift from Oh Nuts! is your fave, and I’ll select a winner from the comments to receive a $25 gift certificate to the store.  You do NOT need to be Jewish to enter – Hanukkah treats are tasty to everyone (I won’t even tell if you repackage the stuff for Christmas).

There’s a second prize to be won, too, being run by the company. You have two choices to enter that one, and doing both increases your odds:

1. go to the Oh Nuts! Facebook page and post your pick, along with the url, on their wall. Include the phrase, “I am here via TheAmberShow.net”

2. Follow @ohnuts on Twitter and tweet the following: “I want to win a gift certificate from Oh Nuts! Follow @ohnuts & Retweet to enter. http://bit.ly/6nIsCi”

Good luck!

**Closed!** Thanks for participating!

Giveaway!  This one is a gift basket filled with apples, pomegranates, honey, and one of those cool honey drizzler thingys.   It comes from Oh Nuts, and is designed for Rosh Hashana, the holiday that Jews eat sweet things to represent a sweet new year.  (It’s going to be 5770!  My how time does fly.)

I promise you can win this if you aren’t a member of the tribe, though; just leave a comment below to enter.  You have until Thursday, September 10.  Good luck!

(Bonus points if you leave me a comment saying what you think my new blog logo should look like.  It needs help.)

P.S. Spreading the word via Twitter etc. is very appreciated!

March 2, 2009, 12:01 pm EST – CLOSED! Thank you to everyone who participated in making this my biggest blog post to date! I am so excited. The winner will be announced at 5:00 pm EST today.

The folks over at Oh! Nuts have offered to sponsor a giveaway that will give one my readers a Purim basket!

For the unfamiliar: Purim is a Jewish holiday that celebrates the story of Esther’s bravery, and will be celebrated this year on March 10. It’s a little like Halloween in that it’s considered primarily a childrens’ holiday and there’s a lot of goofy fun stuff that goes along with it. I think Purim baskets (like giving gifts at Hanukkah) are the Jewish answer to the Easter basket so that in the spring you don’t have to leave out the little Jewish kids… and the big ones, too; Rob’s mom gave us basket last year, and we were pretty excited to paw through it.

The best part of this giveaway is that you can pick whichever basket you want (up to a $30 value). Tell me which Purim basket you would like in the comments, and if you win, that will be the one that you get. I’m drawing the winner March 2.

This is the link for all of their Purim baskets $30 and under on their website. Good luck! Oh, and Twitter this around, too! I’d appreciate it.
