If I were Oprah...
There are tons of reasons (literally like millions and millions) to want to be Oprah, but I think that being able to give away free stuff is probably one of the most fun things about being Oprah. Today, I was thinking about what would I put on "Angie's Favorite Things" show, because I'm very brand loyal. I imagine that I'm a marketers dream. If I like your product, I will stick with it until it dies or I do.
Just for fun, I decided to come up with a list of stuff I would give away.
My first 2 product shout outs are a tie to Russel Athletic brand Nublend t-shirts and Cottonelle toilet paper. Russell t-shirts must have the optimal blend of fabrics that allow for the perfect amount of stretch, resulting in maximum comfort. I mean, I seriously love these t-shirts, I always have, but they really proved their worth while my belly keeps growing!
I also love Cottonelle toilet paper as much as anyone could love a one-time use item. Just ask Sean what happened when he came home from Costco with Charmin...not cool. I won't go into all the details why I believe that Cottonelle is clearly superior to all other brands, but I refuse to purchase anything else. Me and my bum are very particular.
The second thing that I'm probably most obsessed with is Law and Order. I was really devastated when TNT changed their TV schedule a few months ago and limited the number of Law and Order episodes they play to only like 2 per day!
Here's the rest of the list:
1. Colgate 2 in 1 Mouthwash + Toothpaste Icy Blast toothpaste
I haven't used anything else in about 6 years. Well, they discontinued my original flavor, but Icy Blast has been my mouth's friend for a few years.
2. Erba organics Mommy-to-be massage oil: the first bottle of oil that I bought was called stretch mark oil, but this sounds nicer. I'm 35 weeks pregnant and it's proved itself so far.
3. I really love the hot dogs that they serve at the Royals game at the stands where they sell Boulevard beer. I will not vouch for the hot dogs at the regular concession stand, because they're pretty gross, but the first ones are actually amazing. It's a treat that I only get a few times a year (not yet in 2009), but I recommend checking them out if you're at Kauffman Stadium.
4. Amy's brand frozen Macaroni and Cheese: I once at this 5 times in one week (I'm a pretty lazy cook).
5. Bandolino heels
6. Perry Ellis makes really comfortable boxers that I try to steal from Sean (ok, that's kind of cheating b/c Sean is brand loyal to those).
7. Garmin Nuvi GPS: without it, I'd be driving and crying in KC a lot more often.
So, that's the list off the top of my head of things that I adore that I could give away. I'm grateful for these things. I'd definitely try to bring some of them along if I were trapped on a deserted island (no use for heels or microwaveable foods there). It's fun to think about what you would give away if you could. I guess people would be pretty disappointed with my list versus the $10,000 worth of product you'd get from Oprah. But, I bet the toilet paper would come in a lot more handy than a roomba on an deserted island.
