a contest!

Okay, so I recently entered the Moo cards Egg Hunt contest [multiple times] and got one of the prizes, but I just can't use it. So I'm throwing it up here for you guys!

It's a 20% discount on anything at the Timbuk2 shop, and the code is good till May 30 this year.

How can you win? Simple. Leave a comment with the name of the thing you'd buy if you got the discount code. I'll use a random number generator and pick a winner! Make sure you're contactable in your blogger link or with an e-mail address so I can get the code to you if you win!

Comments entered before midnight Pacific time today are eligible. Go to it!

That's such a cool prize.
I had a design your own bag made maybe 4 or 5 years ago. I'd love to get another one done up again. So, hope I win so I can get it :)
Cheers!

In the shades of pinks and browns.

Crossing fingers and toes!!

I'd go for one of their laptop bags. I can't seem to find one I like, but theirs have major potential.

And I may have to get it regardless! :D

I am coveting the customizable laptop messenger bag in a red/crimson/orange combo! That would make the commute bareable, and have room for my projects!

Oh, I would so do a custom large market tote! Thanks for linking to the site, I had never heard of them before!

I've always liked those bags but they were out of my price range. A discount would be awesome. I'd go for a laptop messenger so I could get myself, and my computer, and my books to the library on my bike.

I've heard great things about their bags but don't have one yet. I think I'd make my own messenger in blue and brown. Thanks for sharing :)

Oh, I'd get a Hemp Metro for my boyfriend! If it was for me, I think I'd go with a Market Tote, but first I want to replace his bag - the bag that was stolen when the guy who broke into our house right before Christmas decided he needed something to carry my laptop in... I'd be delighted to be able to replace it by a Timbuk2 bag!

Oooooh. I've been configuring a HEMP/PET COMMUTE bag since it showed up on the site, trying to decide if I want to spend the money on the bag or on some hemp yarn instead!! (anabella AT blkbx DOT com)

I'd love a hemp blogger bag--way cool! And I'd be the envy of all the under thirties crowd....

Oh that's easy -- a blue whimsy EULA bag. Love it!

Before I found Tom Bihn (love my Swift Bag!) I was a Timbuk2 girl all the way. I think I'd look into a custom Ex-Small Eula bag for the summer (and in the sample they even have needles & yarn).

I'd get a custom messenger for my commute- it can hold knitting, lunch, and work files!

I would get the Blogger vertical laptop bag to haul my laptop around in safety :) Plus plenty of room for my knitting and other stuff.

oooh, bags, YUMMY! I would go for a medium size Market Bag in browns and tan with a bright orange lining and the floral pattern up the front.

I already have (and lurv) my Timbuk2 messenger bag (in oranges) and my metro bag (in orange and green). If permitted to go shopping at Timbuk2's website, I would get the Hemp Cargo Tote... you know, for summer excursions and such.

I would get a laptop bag - I would probably need to consult my 15yr old as to colours, since he would likely use it more than I would. Thank you for your generosity

I will be in the market for a laptop soon, and the hemp laptop bag, or one of the laptop carrying backpacks would be my pick.

What awesome bags! I'd love a small messenger in slate/peach. That would hold all my "mommy" things and a small crafty project. Thanks for the link!

The wool market tote in black and charcoal. Oh, or maybe charcoal and black. Hmm, or maybe just charcoal... :)

Thanks for sharing with us!

I'd use the discount towards buying my friend Shelley a bag in a box. She's wanted one forever and this way she'd stop borrowing mine! :)

I bought one of these bags for my mom a couple years ago. She doesn't go anywhere without it. I'd use the discount for one of the hemp bags. :)

Ooh the Metro in the Moss Citron color way.

Either the Metro or design my own messenger laptop bag.

I would use it to create a custom laptop messenger for my significantly taller other. He rides a bike to work all year 'round, and had a lovely sling pack, but now he also has to tote a laptop and carries two bags.

Thanks for the generous offer of sharing your bounty!

Ta,
Lynne

I think I'd build my own bag. Either a market tote or a laptop bag, depending on how much my tax refund is, although I might build my own bag and then get an upright laptop bag... Yea, I think that. Two bags for me please! :)

Have wanted a commute bag forever. I'm just waiting for them to have some rad colors again.

I would want a small "design your own" messenger in green, orange and red. Being a city dweller, a large functional bag is a must!

I'd love a hemp/PET Hacker - it's even eco-friendly!

ooh... it'd be the "Wire Orange Tote" for me - anything that combines coffee and the color orange is SO my thing.
Thanks for the opportunity!

I seriously need a new laptop bag. I would make a custom Messanger bag for my tiny laptop with green and blue on the outside and an orange liner. I could get that for myself for my birthday in May!

I've carried Timbuk2 bags for years! Love 'em!

Ooooh...I've always wanted a Blue Whimsy Eula or a Wool Messenger!! But the Steve Sleeve or a Laptop Bag would be lovely too!

Thanks for sharing the coupon! I'd use the discount on a new laptop bag for the hubby.

Love the spring Knitty, it's just gorgeous!

I would totally design me a laptop messenger bag in some blue/light blue/white fabrics. These things are totally out of my price range, but with the discount, I could actually afford it :)

I would buy my husband a messenger bag that he has been craving for his new bike, because he has been selflessly taking care of me, doing laundry, cooking, and driving me to work and everywhere else for over a month since my foot surgery.

What a great offer! A medium tote in gray, red, and black would be my choice -- books, knitting, it would all fit! Luise

Thanks so much for offering this! I'd definitely get a small customizable messenger bag. I've been drooling over them for ages, and just when I was getting ready to order one, the prices went way up!

I think I might be buying the Hemp/PET Hacker in all black, code or no code.

I'd never heard of this site before, but I love the bags.

Sounds like an easy enough contest!

I would probably buy one of the daypacks, or one of the cute metro packs since my current purse is starting to show signs of its heavy use. I figure that if I get another bag into rotation with it, my purse will last longer and I will not cry so much when it dies.

I'm not sure if it's midnight Pacific time yet, I might be ineligible... I'd be buying a BYOB Lex Pack in birght green and purple. Such cool bags! Almost as cool as knitty...

I am a PhD student - what do I do to relax... knit socks .. for everyone I know (including my pedicurist!)
