    (the richer your story, the better birthday present you’ll receive)

    3. Then ta-dah, after two or three weeks after sharing your story, you’ll find out which gift you’ll be unwrapping!

    I've tried to submit an entry but it seems to go back to "What was meaningful about this trip" - I think my story must've been boring ;)
