I'm really sorry if this is a dupe (I did search and nothing came up), or if someone else normally posts these...

Know what would be awesome? Using all that money you saved up to buy other people holiday presents on yourself instead. Like, for a new ginormous TV for Rock Band 3 or maybe a shiny new laptop.
"But ThinkGeek," you whine, "how could that ever happen?" Brace yourself, cadet, because this contest might launch you straight into the mirror universe where that is a possibility (and you have a sweet goatee--unless you're a lady, of course).

Simply click the "Enter now" button above, type in your contact info, and click to submit by 11:59 ET on November 26, 2010 to win a $1000 ThinkGeek Shopping Spree. We'll announce the random $1,000 winner in our email on November 29, 2010.

We're pretty sure that's enough to cover all the people (and pets!) you care about for the holidays, leaving your previously-saved holiday fund for more selfish pursuits. And a beard trimmer for your fantastic goatee.
Of course, there are much less interesting rules & regulations
