In the middle of the night….

This morning I received a curious e-mail.  It was from my Fairy Hobmother. Now, don’t go thinking I believe in pixies or fairies – because you KNOW that I can be rather jaded when it comes to these things. It’s like Santa or the Easter Bunny. I just want to grab the big head off of the top of that costume, or pull Santa’s beard off and tell him to go outside and have a smoke. But, when the Fairy Hobmother drops a $75 Amazon Gift Card in my e-mail – I’m a BELIEVER.

Of course, I immediately go in to the “What will I buy?” mode.

  • A great pair of shoes?
  • New appliances for the kitchen?
  • The collection of James Taylor CD’s to keep in my car?
  • A book on, how to save your Amazon gift cards and not shop impulsively?

It’s Amazon, the options are pretty much endless.

Of course, this fairy has an agenda! I knew there had to be a catch. In order to keep the myth of the  Fairy Hobmother alive, you need to do MORE than just wish it. She/He (um, I never actually saw this fairy so I don’t know which it is) is paying visits to people who comment on posts about him/her and spreading more of that FABULOUS Amazon-fairy-dust around.

So, comment below with what you think the Fairy Hobmother LOOKS like and you might just get a visit in the middle of the night like I did.

I received an Amazon gift card. This whole thing is rather bizarre, but for $75 I’m playing along.

  3. The fairy Hobmother is a statuesque woman with broad shoulders , strong arms ( better to carry lots of shopping bags with), gentle hands ( better to feel various fabrics with), keen eyes ( best to find the best bargins with), long legs (best to reach that clearance rack before others), and fast fingers ( better to fly over the keyboard and get the best deals on amazon with!) . All in all she is a very beautiful, giving, generous, thrifty, intelligent woman!

  6. Well, the picture in your post, with the cigarette and the drink in her hand – I think she’s a perfect fairy! LOL! No nonsense fairy with a scratchy smokers’ voice. Wise-cracking, loudmouth, funny as heck.

    (I don’t smoke – that’s just what she would sound like.)

  9. If the Fairy Hobmother is from Amazon, She’s an average lady with the best of everything…at a discounted price. She carries the best names in handbags, wears designer shoes {red bottoms, anyone?}, sports diamond crusted jewelry…and a wand to boot. Her skin is flawless because she has the greatest in skin care, makeup, sunless tan, and a shimmer spray. Finally, while one hand holds a wand, the other is holding a KindleFire…so she can keep up with what people are saying about her and her fabulous, Amazon Fairy Hobmother self. 🙂 No worries. She never pays full price…that’s why she has gift cards to spare.

  10. The Fairy Hobmother i.e. The Duchess of Amazon would change her looks to be whatever each of us needs/wants her to be since she is affiliated with Amazon this makes perfect sense, they have such a wide variety of things! For this gal, she would be wearing the most amazingly beautiful Empire Gown of Regency England, since most of my amazon purchases tend to be Historical romances. She would have her hair in a bun, with wispy curls hanging down, but still be a fairly young woman, kind of bookish but stylish too. She would be tech savy, carrying a Kindle Fire. Most of all she would be smiling and happy, loving her work!

  11. Wow what a great honor to be visited by the Fairy Hobmother. I’m going with very sparkly because of the good deed he/she is spreading and I have to say bright because the smile he/she is giving out to everyone he/she comes across. So bright you can’t even see what they look like up close, which helps with keeping their secret identity from being revealed.

  12. Call me cynical, but I charge $125 for sponsored links – the fairy would have to cough up a bit more money to get me to put a link in my post 🙂

  13. I also charge more than that for a sponsored post. This did not have to be a full post, just a mention. I chose to write a post, and no where did it say that it has to stay up for any particular time period.

  16. Lol I love the photo you chose. I think that’d be the ideal fairy … minus the smoking ha! Have fun with your gift card. I’m trying to save up for the iPod touch I want since mine broke 🙁

  18. The Fairy Hobmother probably wears bifocals, to keep at least one eye on the computer and one eye on the phone. Probably keeps their hair pinned up or cut short, for less hassle. Would have to wear something sparkly….oh, and wings….got to have some functioning wings.

  20. Sometimes you just have to amuse yourself and hope someone reads it. LOL

  23. I’ve got hubby’s and son’s birthdays coming up, so I’m saving for gifts.

  24. My fingers are crossed that you’ll be next. I was shocked & couldn’t even tell you which blog he/she found my comment on….making this whole thing fun.

  27. Fairy Hobmother is probably a dude..laid back kinda guy, has a Harley loves to hit the open road, drink beer and play pool. He loves to give to charities, hence the name he has chosen. Oh and he has long wavy light brown hair, awesome muscles and is 6′ 2′ with a rockin’ bod!

  29. Love the photo you included in this post! Now it’s all I can think of but I think the Fairy Hobmother is a fellow hardworking blogger, pounding away at the keyboard while balancing all of the other things going on in life. I think the Fairy Hobmother looks a little bit like all of us!
