I did the Hanukah one for my dh. Yeah, we got 3 pairs of socks, ruled a castle for 10 minutes (which was fun), cards and other things. I don't think we got 8 days of presents though. This link has a list of the 8 things. eightsensiblegifts.com/

For their holiday promotion a few years ago they paid their Chinese printing company for the whole week with the stipulation that all the employees got a paid week of vacation (a rarity there). I thought that was pretty cool.

www.cnn.com/2017/11/15/us/cards-against-humanity-land-grab-trnd/index.html?Cards Against Humanity is messing with President Trump. The company says it's bought a piece of land at the U.S.- Mexico border to make the construction of Trump's controversial wall "as time-consuming and expensive as possible." The "Cards Against Humanity Saves America" campaign asked for $15 contributions with the promise of surprise gifts.

I ordered two sets for friends (as a surprise - they didn't know it was coming) and I'm looking forward to their reactions. I had a FB friend post what she received so I can see what items are coming. Glad your DS got a kick out of it!

We received ours yesterday and loved it! I’m framing it for Christmas—hanging it on the wall for my Trump login’ relatives to see! Lol

We got the one I sent to DH yesterday, he had no idea. We were cracking up. I should totally frame it and hang it up for the benefit of one of my own “Trumpsters”. Lisa B.

Dang it! Mine is not here yet! Is it considered spoiler-ish to ask someone to post?
Yes, I shake packages too.

Yea I kinda missed out on this whole thing and would like to see, I guess I can google it.... There was a document from the law firm about fighting the emminent domain, a certificate for the land in Mexico and a letter explaining that they're building a trebuchet. There's a great vintage style map of the border done CAH style, full of hilarity. There was also a pack of bonus cards.

That was fun. My husband enjoyed all of his surprise mail. Unfortunately, the last envelope arrived completely ripped open, with the baseball voucher missing, but oh well. There was a 0% chance that it would be redeemed by us anyway, so I hope whoever took it really does go to see and support the Slammers.

I was too late this year, care to spoil what all the gifts were? Spoilers Mainly, they used the money to achieve particular goals and told us about the results. We received six letters and six sets of cards applicable to what they used the money to achieve, plus stickers, a map, a "blueprint" and thank you letters from kids who took field trips. Let's see, they bought a piece of land along the border with Mexico and secured an eminent domain lawyer to interfere with "the wall", redistributed wealth (100 people received a check for $1000, 10,000 people got their $15 back, the rest of us contributed to the others), started a "good news" podcast, attempted to abolish homework, conducted public opinion polls, and supposedly renamed a minor league baseball stadium in Joliet, Illinois. With the last one, they sent a voucher for a ticket to one of the baseball games, but like I said, ours was ripped open and only that voucher was missing. You can read a summary of everything here: Cards Against Humanity Saves AmericaMy favorite cards were the out of character "happy" ones like "a really good dog" and "two hamsters eating a tiny burrito" and "a baby panda that can't keep its eyes open".

Read the responses to their polls. Some really interesting data there, including questions about Darth Vader and smelly farts.
