Wow. That was some trip I went on. In fact, I’m pretty sure I left a ventricle or a valve scattered in every crumbly, rococo, baroque cobblestone portal I ventured through.
Unfortunately, solo travel in Europe doesn’t allow for much outfit photo taking opportunities… or free wifi. So I’ve kept my updates sequestered to lowly 2 minute Facebook posts and the occasional Twitter outbursts. It is coming! No doubt! So in attempt to make up for my absence, its time to give in to the Spirit of Giving.
This part of the post is called:
THE PART WHERE I GIVE AWAY $100 in EBAY GIFT CARDS!

Ebay has been running this hilarious “Love To Give” holiday campaign where Ebay fans send in videos of themselves or loved ones having an “unwrap attack (aka, losing their sh*t)” over The Perfect Gift. Pretty much the most fun part of capitalism in general. My contest, however, is much more suited toward the lazy and greedy among us. I mean, who wouldn’t want a freaking Ebay gift card?? It’s kinda like being granted one wish and just asking for infinity more wishes. Disclosure: In accordance to the FTC Guidelines and WOMMA Code of Ethics, I am disclosing that the gift cards from this giveaway have been provided by eBay. Although I have a material connection to eBay, any publicly stated opinions of eBay remain my own.
To enter, just answer the following question:
What gift would give you an unwrap attack this holiday season?
Answers other than $100 in Ebay gift cards will be considered first, Smartass.
Enter either in the comments of this post, or by Twitter-er-ing your response, using the #unwrapattack hash tag and my handle, @PainfullyHip.
CONTEST ENDS FRIDAY, DECEMBER 17th, 2010 at NOON PST!

Hmmm. A dance game – any new dance game.
I’m ready to get back on my feet!
I think a new ipod would give me an unwrap attack. My old nano’s display is out so that would be awesome. A Buffalo Exchange gift card would also have a similar effect!
Amanda´s last [type] ..Friday Fondue

I have been killing myself over this sleeveless dress with a ruffle front and a high neck. It would make me into the most painfully hip Mrs. Bates/ Angela from the “The Office”/ Adam Ant video extra ever. It would totally Stand and Deliver an unwrap attack.
SHOES!
a My Little Pony-esque hair extensions!
leica brought out a new camera. since i saw pictuers taken by it on this years photokina in cologne i’d die to get it – wrapped or not.
