Be Your Own Barista (Tassimo T20 Giveaway!)

This week I'm hosting a giveaway for US readers. Tassimo asked if I wanted to try a Tassimo T20 Brewbot and give one away to a reader. Since I consider myself a coffee junkie I figured why not, I've always wondered how these machines compare to 'normal' coffee makers. Not to imply that Tassimos are 'weird' but the fact that these machines can read bar codes does put it in a different category. We all know that inventions like this bring us one step closer to the robot uprising, don't we? (Tassimo is never going to ask me to review their stuff ever again so enter the giveaway while you can. Details below.)

First of all I need to tell you that the Tassimo T20 is not a robot despite the fact that it is a brewbot and if you go over to the Brewbot site, the first coffee machine you see on the screen goes all Optimus Prime on what I assume would be my coffee cup. I'm not fooled by that smile.

It's A Wrap! And It's Giveaway Time!

Holy blatant exclamation point abuse in that title Batman but I  just love hosting Canadian giveaways so I feel justified in my excitement (sorry America but I do have a giveaway coming your way ASAP so stay tuned.) But back to this giveaway.

So who here has a cat? I have two of those little furry babies who are not so little and they aren't really babies either. Both are almost twelve years old and incredibly crotchety, rarely moving unless food is involved.

BUT they do move for something else, something that is often seen this time of year: WRAPPING PAPER! Those little dudes make wrapping Christmas gifts an exercise is frustration because nothing is more nerve wracking in the realm of wrapping when you must battle to keep a six-pound Chewabacca from stealing supplies. I'm not sure why they love to dive into the crinkly paper and don't get me started about what it's like if ribbon is involved.
