Following the tradition of this and this, I decided to do something fun like that again, except this time I made some changes.
Now instead of a postcard, one lucky winner will go home with this super generic black coffee mug.

As seen here: super lame boring coffee mug

But how generic it is exactly? Well, pretty generic if you're gonna use it for cold beverage, however things get far more interesting once you add some coffee to the formula or hot chocolate or just me standing next to it - so pretty much anything that's considered hot.

And now: ultra cool white custom SG logo coffee mug

That's right, you are now a proud owner of one-of-a-kind, custom made, non generic Steamgifts coffee mug. Except you have to win it first.
The rules are simple, just leave any coherent comment in this thread, could be a simple "thanks" or "count me in" or you could tell me a story about that time you met a cute foreign girl on Barcelona beach called Iris and you had a really wonderful time together and she gave you a phone number before leaving but then you went for one last swim and completely forgot about that number in back of your swim shorts and the water washed away the ink so the number was lost for good. It's been 10 years since then, every now and then before bedtime you think about her, asking yourself if she was the one. Maybe, just maybe things would be different if you left that number on a towel or somewhere before heading out to the waters. But now you will never know......so yeah, as I said, a simple "thanks" or anything else should suffice.

Few things to point out though:

  • Do not enter if you are not ok with providing me your REAL LIFE address if you win cause that's the only way I can send you the mug. You are still free to comment just be sure to point out in bold letters somewhere that you are not entering.
  • Obviously, I will pay for the shipping and all expenses, you will only need to pick it up once it arrives at your doorstep. Everyone in the whole world are eligible to enter (yes even you Trinidad & Tobago) so no worries there.
  • Aside from the mug you will also receive a very rare, two-of-a-kind xarabas autograph. I say two of a kind cause there is already one on eBay going for a ridiculously high price, as seen in this completely legit picture here
  • And lastly, aside from the coffee mug and my autograph, you will also receive a random wishlist game from me once the mug arrives. To be eligible for that, yo must not add any item to your wishlist starting today, only the games before July 30 will count. Or you could, but I won't take those in count anyway.

The giveaway will remain open till Sunday next week (August 8) and it is starting riiiiiiiiiiiight about..... NOW!

EDIT 1: Since few people asked me about this, yes it is a thermal mug that changes color with temperature - black/cold > white/hot. These are not two pictures of different mugs (as some actually assumed so).

I've never been to Barcelona and I will not pretend to even know where it is. However, when lived in North Carolina, there was a club that went by the name of 'Barcelona.' I never went to the club as I had heard the all the females were whores.

I would have entered for the generic black (classy) mug but on top of that you say it is a SG thermal mug ? Oh I'm definitly IN !

Short story time, a few months ago I was in Japan and ended up in a maze of temples, following a group of cheerleaders with a marching band and a baton twirling team, led by a huge mascot and some buddhist monks. That was a pretty weird morning.

Thanks but am I worthy of this?

Sorry, my story is not set in Barcelona.. it's not much of a story either :P
But she was (is) spanish! She went to study in the city where I'm studying and lived in the apartment above some of my friends, that's how we met. I was kinda busy those months so we didn't see often and I regret not having asked her to go out with me.
I have a girlfriend now and I'm happy with her but that "what if.." feeling still comes back sometime..

On the other hand, a guy I met on a train the other day gave me his number.. maybe, if he was a sg user, he could have written about this guy who met on a train but never called him =P

That mug sure looks better than my ugly mug. Count me in!

I unfortunately don't have the money to make a minimum bid on your autograph. The resolution and color quality is fantastic though! You should expand on your talents and make an autograph series. Maybe do one letter at a time over the course of several years. And be sure to forget a letter and make people wonder if it is some rare piece and start a treasure hunt for it. It will also help to increase the value of the other pieces. You could be rich in no time.

Ah damn, man. I was with you all the way until you mentioned winning a game from the wishlist. Say, that sounds familiar, where have I heard that before... :-) I will totally enter if you promise to send me the mug and someone else a game if I win, though. And if that's not an option, hey, it's OK...

Great idea in any case. We should totally do more GAs where you can win physical objects. What could possibly go wrong?

Wow, that's one awesome mug. Downside is that everyone at work would know where I am when I stare blankly at the screen and sip coffe from that mug ;)
