Season of Swag

Goody bags are getting foisted upon the undeserving in staggering numbers these days. They reward sports fans, conventioneers, talk-show guests, and five-year-old birthday-party attendees. Celebrities, of course, gather oodles of loot throughout the winter awards season, from the Golden Globes and Grammys on up to the Oscars. We decided it’s time that our readers joined the fray, so we’re giving away a sampling of the swag that comes flowing into Rake World Headquarters every day. A Gift Consultant from our new RakeRewards™ program has cherry-picked goodies from every cubicle throughout the office, all of which will go to one lucky Rake reader. To get in the running, send us an anagram composed from one of the headlines in this issue of the magazine.* We’ll reward the author of the most inspired, creative, and/or insulting anagram with a delightful swag basket, containing:
