OK, people. It's time to stir things up a bit here at Benbo headquarters. I'm having a giveaway. That's right, it's been in the works for a few weeks now. One Benbo reader will receive a package in the mail with little goodies, handpicked by Viv and me. Here are the details:
How: Leave a comment, any comment, on this post by Sunday, February 3 at 9:00 PM PST. Winner will be picked at random and announced on Monday morning! Package will be mailed to winner as soon as I get your address.
Who: Anyone can enter. You can be a friend, family member, stranger...it doesn't matter!
Why: As much as I love technology and the ease with which I can communicate because of it, I miss real snail mail. I was looking through some boxes of mail saved from my early years of college and reminisced about writing letters and sending care packages to friends who were scattered at colleges around the country. And I got all nostalgic for the way things used to be. Ahhhh, the good old days.
Also, Vivian and I like to have plans and activities. We've been collecting little goodies on our around town adventures. We look forward to going to our local downtown post office. I'm even going to take myself out for a hot chocolate at the local coffee shop afterwards.
Benbo. Makin' the post office cool again, one package at a time.

You are a terrific mom and still full of great ideas!!! Yes, mail in the mailbox is a great thing, surprises and goody boxes.....fun for the sender and the recipient!!! This just could start a new trend.....
this is fun! sign me up!
What a neat idea. Hope the contents are male friendly :) Thanks for stopping by my blog. I'm a regular on yours!
yay! what fun! :) packages in the mail are the best. i'm now quite inspired to mail something silly to my sister (back home in toronto, sick with the flu, snowed in at her university)... this should be a good weekend project. thanks for the inspiration!
What a great idea! I'm so glad you're keeping this blog updated. It's so sweet to hear about everything that's going on with you and your new addition!
I love this idea & I too love good old fashioned snail mail!! Before kids I loved standing in the card isle selecting special cards to send to friends and family-just because-Unfortunatly I am lucky if I get the time (or remember) to call or e-mail now! Thanks for the reminder-perhaps I will head to the Hallmark Store this weekend!
You inspire me, Hannah...your creativity, warmth and love overflow from you and spill onto those whose lives you touch - including mine! xoxo Susan
You are filled with creative, sweet ideas. I plan to send you snail mail as often as possible and have started with my own daughters. Wishing you laughter, joy and sunshine now and always.
Neopolitan! When I was growing up the biggest treat I could get for dessert was when my mom pulled out the carton of Neopolitan ice cream. And oh, the delicious decision of which flavor to taste first. It would be so wrong to scoop thru all three, so I would agonize and eventually (always) choose strawberry. But chocolate, oh chocolate - how i loved you too! So to you, Hannah, and little Miss Vivi, and your deliciously wonderful ideas - a lifetime of picking your favorite scoops, and many thanks for this sweet indulgence -- Neopolitan!! xx Mari Jo
My dear friend and neighbor Joan had encouraged me to come out of the closet and make myself known! I just want to say that I think you are a fabulous lady and your precious Vivian is darling. I'm a regular Benbo reader and I just love your writing. Thanks for opening up your blog to people like me...a friend of a friend....

Oooh! A giveaway I love it!
I was looking through some old letters and things and was amazed to remember how often friends and I exchanged actual letters before email came around!
I think it is something related to Valentine's yet has Neapolitan colors on it. :-) Because getting a package is like filled with love. (That's my wildest guess)
