So here’s what you need to do have a chance to win each one of these packages:

1. Visit the shops of our participants, and write down here in the comments which product you like from their shop (include the links if you’d like); and/or
2. Sign up for our mailing list.
   (Those who have already signed up for our mailing list will already be in the running, no worries!)

You can do both — you’ll have more chances of getting one of the packages! The closing date for this is on Wednesday 9 July, 8 p.m. PST/PDT. I’ll pick one random winner from each (comments + mailing list) then!

You can see more about the participants here, and remember to read up on our participants in our PikaPackage zine too — you can download one here.
