Mine's today, but I suspect that's not the one you're looking for.

Great Haul. Thanks, Thanks, Thanks.

-Green Bag
-Knight Flight Batman (RC Copter) (++++ Cool)
-Ultraviolet Toothbrush Holder
-DS Petz Dogz Backpack
-7 Bags of Texas Air
-Absolutely the Most Awesome, Patriotic, Sweat Bands (#484)

(Kids playing "marathon" 30 seconds after discovering sweat bands = priceless)

One of my best carps so far, typical of the bunch:
-recycled bag
-fact or crap or dare game
-sweatbands (numbered in the 1000s, don't have them at work)
-UV toothbrush sanitizer
-texas air

On a side note, is anyone willing to part with their sanitizers (or know where I can get more)? Feel free to keep the brush. Random, I know.

Allow me to explain: I'm working on a small hobby project involving fluorescent minerals that glow under short-wave UV light. I've been looking for a compact solution, and searched for LEDs to no avail. There are plenty of "black" light (long-wave, UVB spectrum) LEDs out there, but they don't work for my purposes.

I took my brush case apart, and the little bulb and transformer assembly is perfect. I'd love to get my hands on a bunch of these if possible! I may be the first person in history hoping that the letter in my Bundle of Crops was for a pallet of toothbrush sanitizers...

You might can haz mine... Would the parts you need fit in a standard envelope and only take 1 stamp to send? (I'm cheap like that) I don't suppose you have parts for the Batman helicopter you could send me in return?

EDIT: you can PM me with intimate details

w00ters in love. Awww!!!!

Finally opened mine - had to wait until EVERYONE was in the office (it's a thing)

Standard fare:
WOOT headband #1632
Toofbrush and sanitizer
Fact or Crap Dare game
Bag of holding very very little to be honest

About what I expected.. no wristbands for this gal though. It's okay, I'm off to look for either legwarmers or tubesocks to complete the ensemble.

Not my first Bundle of Crops, hopefully not the last... always fun!

@dontwantaname - What headband number did you get? I have a theory that Baskets Of Cuddleecyoots having a double-digit headband were a podge of estate-sale-esque items.

(Though, what is an unexpired box of Walgreens Woman's Laxative doing at an estate sale?)

Thanks to @hessem and @adamant6298 for identifying Loretta Swit. The signature looks like the name and the picture looks like adamant's link, http://www.celebsinfo.com/gallery/loretta_swit/pictures/next7.html

My headband did make me feel like the Bar Mitzvah boy again. Double Chai - for Life!

Still waiting for my bag o carp. It has been stuck on electronic info received for a while. I am worried last time this happened my package went missing and got refunded. Will be very upset if it happens again.

Standard issue crappage here:

1 x Zero UV Light Toothbrush Sanitizer
1 x Eco Canteen water bottle
1 x Set of woot! wristbands and headband (#2789)
1 x Gwen's Nest shopping bag

Thanks woot!

TPW informed me that my last item shipped yesterday. I'll keep you all updated!

MUCH Woot karma to you! I'll be sending over a postage-paid envelope. Any other Wooters who don't mind parting with their sanitizers to help a feller out, I'd be eternally grateful!

Just so you know I'm not a crazy stalker, I wrote about the whole situation in my tech column for our local entertainment weekly:

You're the only one to post here saying you got a letter. I wonder if they only sent out one letter this time or if the other folks just never posted here.

We're all waiting with great interest to see what arrives on your doorstep.

Didn't TPW say picture?

"Everyone here is looking forward to seeing pictures of people rocking the limited edition set! I have that crappy pocket watch (mentioned earlier) to send to someone that posts a picture that catches my eye."

I think stuntdriver is implying that if the dancing guy had a chance of winning, they would have to open a second contest for gifs. Haha still, a great dancer. :D

Exactly what I was implying.

As funny as it was/is it is not a picture.

Well, I got mine in the mail while I was out of town, so I'm late to the posting party. Here's what was in the box:

1 Recycled Tote Bag
1 Zero Germ UV Toothbrush Sanitizer
1 Woot! Headband/Armband set #1959
1 Emerson jumbo universal remote (open, return, as yet untested)
1 Midland 2-Way Radios 2pk (open, as yet untested)
1 Random Car Charger - says Garmin on it, and has three different connectors - no box/label/explanation
Lots of air - mostly deflated

Oddly, the box it came in is WAY bigger than the amount of stuff that was inside.

Sadly, the box was open upon delivery (my roommie picked it up from our apt complex office where it was delivered and it was open when she got it), leaving me wondering if something had been taken from it since the box was so much bigger than the contents.

Unfortunately, I will probably never know if there was anything else in it when it was shipped or if this was it.

However, for my first Bundle of Crops, I'm fairly happy. Randomness, for sure, but if the walkies work, I def have a use for them, and if the remote works I have a great conversation starter. Now what I'm going to use this random Garmin car charger for... Meh.

Well threepiecewoot never said jpgs only but if you hate dancy gif guy for being so unique, maybe this will make you happy!

My "last item" is a 25 pounder coming my way, no dimensions yet. Should be here Tuesday.

I think the best .gif would have been you pulling the fire alarm and running for it. True Woot! Courage.

Edit: Speaking of the contest, wasn't the winner supposed to be decided Tuesday?

how about the gif of you getting punched?

I just got my Bundle of Crops!! I was out of town so I wasn't home when my box arrived on July 2nd.

I got a WONDERFUL box (6.8LBS) of happiness. Everything was new and perfect and it was a nice assortment of goodies.

Contents:

26 bags of Texas air
One green and black shopping bag
Six maple and cedar baking planks with WOOT! etched into the planks
Zero Germ toothbrush sanitizer
Bucky Balls - special green edition
Laptop swivel Spin Dock
Pressio W Terraillon wrist blood pressure monitor
Last but certainly not least WOOT! Sweatband #2982 and the matching wrist bands.

Thank you WOOT! I can't believe I got my first Bundle of Crops and it was so much fun. I LOVED my goodies!

bdh008 wrote:Speaking of the contest, wasn't the winner supposed to be decided Tuesday?

Oh yes, it has been decided young bdh008. However, in true Woot.com prize tradition, the prize won't be shipped out for another week or two. I only wish the prize was actually valuable, as there were so many great submissions.

This community is great, thanks so much for rocking the headbands.

34" x 22.5" x 7.2"

I just thought to check in on this forum since I didn't get in this time (sad face).

I'm very jealous of everyone and their numbered sweatbands! This is the kind of product that makes the BOCs awesome!

Woot rocks!

I would have loved to see something similar with our Charter Member numbers!

Congrats to everyone who got in, and especially to adamant628 awaiting the fulfillment of his LETTER!

Is it bad luck to guess?

My money's on a TV... or a 25 pound box of car wax and texas air.

I was thinking TV, since it is fairly flat. But which one?

Are 'letter' items usually things that woot has had for sale recently?

Yes, No, and Maybe. Based on what I've seen it's a crap shoot. You can't really base it off recent Woot sales, with any level of certainty. The dimensions do suggest a TV-ish item though.

Grats on your extra special crap!

If it were longer, I'd think maybe you were getting the 2nd of these.

You know I thought the same way as you Mikeb, but it's a seven foot tall monkey. Where would you put it? That thing could cause a heart attack during a late night walk to the bathroom.

BTW the Bindle of Carrots threads keep getting better and better. I encourage everyone to keep posting, there is a silent majority snickering in thier cubicles during an internet break.
