Wishnut on Vacation

Votes: 2  Comments: 0

Hi all,We at Wishnut have decided to temporarily suspend our contests (I don't believe we really had any votes last week anyway.  In fact, since the top number of votes was 3, there would have been about 50 potential winners to choose from!).  We do have some good stuff in the works, but it's taking longer than expected.  So in the interest of giving you a better...

$50 Gift Limit

Votes: 1  Comments: 1

Hey hey,I just wanted to remind everyone that our current gift limit is $50 (Do you guys think we should make that more obvious on the page somewhere, not just in the rules/news?  Let me know what you think.)  Not a lot, I know, but we've had to implement this while we're undergoing a LOT of changes...most of which we think you'll really like.  Keep checking back...

NEW WINNER - 11/23/9

Votes: 1  Comments: 0

This week's winner lost her iPod AND her iTunes library!  Harsh.  Unfortunately, since our current gift limit is $50, we can't buy her a new one, but $50 could go a long way toward building those playlists back up (not as far as it once did...$1.29+ per track, Apple?  Really?).  Or maybe Santa will help out with the rest.  Either way, congratulations, A...

NEW WINNER

Votes: 1  Comments: 0

Our winner this week needs help.  It's an ancient story really, one about treasure (an iPod Touch...I love mine!) and rival siblings (one child has one...I'm sure he doesn't gloat) and long journeys (long car ride + 2 kids + 1 awesome toy = X and just try solving for X without using profanity or TURNING THIS CAR AROUND RIGHT NOW!).  So our winner is now one step close...

*NEW RULES and GIFT LIMIT*

Votes: 2  Comments: 0

Rule change time again.  Most of you probably haven't checked out the rules lately (I don't blame you...not my favorite part of the site either), but we're undergoing some pretty big changes.  First and foremost, the limit for the current contest will be $50.  I know this affects some of your gifts that are still running from previous contests, but I hope you'll ...

NEW WINNER

Hi All,We've got a new winner this morning.  He is a father whose kids have commandeered his computer and don't show signs of relinquishing.  Our plucky winner tapped his inner Macguyver and Wishnutted himself a new HD media player for his TV, so he can offload the kids to that.  Here is his winning entry:I Want My Computer BACK!Congratulations, Winner.  I'l...

NEW WINNER

Votes: 3  Comments: 0

Hello everyone in the world,This week's winner is a rare breed - a 2-time winner.  He won long ago with a gift for someone else, and now he's back to win a gift for himself.  In this case it's a gift certificate for outdoor gear, in which he will drown his sorrows related to being jobless for an uncomfortably long time.  Sounds good to me.  Better to battle ...

NEW WINNER

Votes: 6  Comments: 0

I'm happy (sort of) to announce that we have our first recession-themed winner this week.  I'm amazed that it took as long as it did for such a gift to claw it's way to the top of the heap.  It allows Wishnut to do something extra useful this week, which in this case means getting a printer for job-seeker, so she can print out resumes.  I myself have a printer that eats ink ...
