It's been a pretty busy and insane year for us as we've started doing more exchanges than ever (48 in 2013!!) and are in the middle of our BIGGEST Secret Santa ever (WOOOO!!!). Almost exactly a year ago we started the reddit marketplace, and that has grown hugely and we've crossed some pretty huge milestones with that recently. And we've grown, too! At the beginning of this year, redditgifts totaled 3 employees--now we are 8 plus 2 part time people here for the holidays to help out!

In short, it's been an awesome (exhausting, but awesome) year for us. And we want to celebrate by giving back to you--the people who have supported us through it all and made any of this possible. We couldn't do it without you, and we seriously appreciate your love and patience with us as we continue on this steep learning curve.

We have a lot of giveaways in store for you in the coming days from some of our awesome merchants who do a lot to support our community and also want to thank you by giving back. Make sure you don't miss out!

Win any product from the marketplace or a redditgifts gift card!

Here's what you need to do to qualify:

Follow us on Pinterest. Create a Pinterest board around any theme you choose: how you want to decorate your dorm room, all the best Pokemon gear, your dream day, gifts for your in-laws, the outfit you'll wear for your magazine cover shoot when you're famous, etc. The more creative, the better. Pin at least five items from our marketplace to that board, and use the hashtag #redditgifts on any product you pin from our marketplace. You're welcome to also pin other images to your board. Email the link to your Pinterest board to marketplace@redditgifts.com with "Pinterest Giveaway" in the subject line.

Boards will be judged on creativity, and 5 winners will get to pick one thing from their Pinterest board that they would like to receive for free, up to a $50 value. Five runners up will receive a $25 gift card to the redditgifts marketplace. We will announce the winners on the 20th.

And here are all the other awesome giveaways that will be happening, thanks to some of our awesome merchants. Make sure you're checking back every day to be able to take advantage of them!

Each of these giveaways (Pinterest contest excepted) will start at noon ET/9 am PT on the day listed and last for 24 hours. Details will be announced in /r/secretsanta for each of these giveaways on that day, so keep checking back!
