non slip jacket

Recently a very good friend of mine told me about a mishap that involved his 8 year old son, a Wii remote and a large, expensive flat-screen LCD TV. Needless to say he wasn't happy.

Fortunately Nintendo is a great company. They have invented a rubber non-slip jacket for Wii remotes, and they're giving them away free to current owners of Wii systems.

But a friend recently told me of a hidden gem inside the ValPak envelope. A gem that's worth at least $20.

The voucher that's like Wonka's golden ticket.
Inside ValPak envelopes (depending on your zip code) is a voucher from Northwest Airlines. It looks something like the picture below (I apologize for the poor quality, it's the best pic I could find anywhere on the web).

ice cream

Can I say, right here and now, I love free anything. But free ice-cream? Thank you, thank you (although Ben & Jerry's is my personal fav - Cherry Garcia, oh baby).

Anyway, on MAY 15th, from 4pm to 8pm, rush along to your local Haagen-Dazs store and you can try a scoop of one of their two new exciting and delicious flavors. Either Cinnamon Dulce de Leche or Sticky Toffee Pudding (yes please). You don't have to buy anything, just stand in line and wait for you big old scoop of creamy truthiness.
