The Dirty Shirt’s 2009 Christmas Gift Guide

The time has come for the kick off to my Christmas Gift Guide and I just wanted to tell you all some of the changes in the rules to enter giveaways and a general disclaimer for the entire guide.

First, I am a review and giveaway blogger. I do not review anything on this blog that I do not have in my hands to try out, test and use. With that being said, I have received products from the companies that are participating in the 2009 Christmas Gift Guide to review and some have donated an extra product for a giveaway.

During this seasons gift guide I will also be doing my regular reviews and giveaways. If you see this banner…

then the company is a Christmas participant. If it is not there then they are not a part of the Gift Guide. Along those lines, I have had some repeat brands from last year and some are offering to do more giveaways instead of a review and giveaway. So if you see this…

My Thoughts

then I have actually reviewed the item this year. If you don’t see it then that means I did not review it this year.

As far as the rules, I have changed some of them. I took out Stumble and Technorati and added a banner placement and fan my Facebook Page.

Please, please, please check your emails AND your spam folders for an email from me if you are a winner. Last year I had a few people come to me after the 48 hour deadline, mad at me for not emailing them only to find my email in their spam folder. This is a busy time for me and I will have a lot to keep track of so I won’t be able to keep track of that too.

I hope you enjoy the gifts I bring you this year. On the products that are included but only reviewed I have added how much they cost and the best places to find them at. I hope that helps. Please also take a minute to visit all the participants of this year’s Christmas Gift Guide as I will have a running list of logos with links to their sites on my sidebar.

That’s it I think. Above all have fun, and good luck to everyone.

Kick off is set for tomorrow morning!
