It’s that time of year again. Time for shopping and wrapping, returning and re-gifting. What better way to show your fellow wooters how you feel than by giving them something special this holiday season? Your task:

Make a holiday “gift” for another wooter.

It can be whatever you think the recipient would like: A new sig, a handy-dandy new gadget or gizmo you’ve photoshopped just for him/her, fancy forum graphics, a special smiley, you get the idea. Be creative! Maybe daj59 needs a new smacking device. Perhaps dontwantaname gets a cattle prod for handling those forum rule-breakers. I’m sure KtCallista and Orcrist42 would love a magic blankey to help their little ones sleep through the night.

If it's not obvious, don't forget to tell us who your gift is for!

Here’s a sample to get you started. For our esteemed Contest Judges, personalized gavels, plus a little (ahem) something extra….






Post your entry here by 11:59 pm Woot time Wednesday night. Voting will take place on Thursday until 11:59 pm Woot time. Winner gets a virtual trophy made by me, and the honor of hosting the next contest!

Love it, JoeDeeDee! I expect you will see a lot of entries this week. The sig exchange we did last year? had a nice turnout.

And the sig I made for someone is still in use, believe it or not.

I resurrected my Secret Santa sig from faithcoaching for use this year...see below.

I also still have the sigs that were made for me during that dodgeball...they were great!

OK, click on the topic, Dodgeball #57. Copy the url at the top of the page in Firefox or Internet Explorer. You know, the thing that starts with 'http://www.woot.com/...'

Paste it after the url= in the next line.
[ url=]Dodgeball #57[/url ]

delete the space after the initial '[' above and before the final ']' above.
copy that entire line and use that as your link.

Since brianw1957 just turned 50, I thought I'd give him a gift card for his birthday and for the upcoming holidays. Nothing like a combo gift! I sure hope he finds some way to spend it on something he dearly wants.

I figure with great deals, free entertainment and a great community, occasional excitement and sleepless nights, wacky writing and Wootcasts, and more, I'd make this just for Woot.com itself!

It took a little convincing...those treasury guys are REALLY reluctant to modifying their mint plates. But, this special Ohio Quarter is for NO1 and Josephus.

I found these mushrooms growing in the back yard, yesterday.
I grabbed my camera and immortalized them. They are about 4 inches across.

I'm not sure who to give them to, since I don't know who is a 'smoker'.

Let's just say they are for FENSTAR. So many folks have voted for him in the past.

Since GIMP is free, Santa thought websorcerer could use some upgraded tools.

Thank you very much!!

I have Photoshop Elements (which was bundled with my Wacom tablet), and like it. I am a fan of Bert Monroy and religiously watch his PixelPerfect video series.

Bert Monroy's stuff looks cool, hadn't seen his tut3s yet, guess I'll have to check them out. Which tablet do you have, I have the Intuos3 6x8, need to start bringing it to work...
Good luck dodging the ball this round.

I like Plinths sig, but he looks a little chilly for the Winter season. So, for Christmas he is getting this fabulous Collection of Scarf designs by Fiere de le Pain'shope.

They are:
Amazon Leopard
Traffic Dodging Pink
Washed with Christmas
Checkerboard Flair
Early Spring
and Dr. Who
