Uhhhh… free gift cards? For free? And I don’t have to first join a cookie-of –the-month club or buy an elephant? I will be signing up for that NOW, please.

So this is what it is: Tickle is giving out $25 gift cards to 5,000 people. Starting today, go to Tickle and put a gift card in your shopping basket. Check out. It will cost zero dollars. Get it in the mail. Give it to your friend. Cross her name off your list. Boom, done.

You can give the card as a gift or use it to pick up something more personal, like flavored body powder or strip chocolate. Get one for yourself. Then send everyone you know the Tickle link. Everybody gets a free gift card. High fives all around.

Useful but not totally exciting things to know: Your free gift card expires one year from the day you “bought” it. You have until December 25, 2009 to get in on this, unless the 5,000 free gift cards run out before then. No purchase necessary. Here’s the part where I’m supposed to say “void where prohibited.” Sorry, where is getting free stuff prohibited? So I’m not saying that.

!UPDATE! Due to the overwhelming interest in free stuff, we’re gonna have to charge you $5 for processing and shipping. Sorry. But I mean still, you give us $5 and we give you $20. Still a gift card win in my book.

!UPDATE #2! OMG it’s Free Friday! Quick, go get a gift card today (December 4th) and it won’t cost $5! Because we love Fridays, and we love to pass our love onto you.

Love,

Tickle
