THE RULES ARE SIMPLE

No coal allowed.

01 / GIVE

Put 4 gifts in the pile

Add four useful gifts:
a free month of your product, free credits, an ebook, a template, or your expertise.
Include a personal note.

02 / WAIT

Look forward to December

Once you’ve given four, you’re in.
Gifts are randomly matched so each maker receives four from others.

03 / UNWRAP

Open one each week

Four wrapped presents appear in December.
Each week reveals a surprise and a message from its maker. Delightful!

Gift submission ends on November 25th 00:00 UTC.

GIVE SOMETHING YOU'D WANT

Good gifts make good connections.

A free month, a license, credits, a game, a podcast invite. Anything that holds real value. No discount codes dressed up as “presents” allowed.
