As I mentioned in previous posts, last month I was invited to join the Amazon Vine Program, which I did. At first, I thought it was just books, but discovered, with the first newsletter of available items, that they offer all kinds of other stuff as well. But, until I discovered the Amazon Vine discussion forums, I had no idea just how much and what a wide variety of stuff is offered. There are people who have gotten TVs, computers, treadmills, power tools, vacuum cleaners, cameras, clothes, and almost anything you can think of.
On my most recent "targeted" newsletter, I was offered several books, two kinds of cookies, face wash, a bluetooth something-or-other, a carpet steamer/cleaner thingie, two kinds of laundry detergent, and a souped up weighted exercise hula hoop. I selected a book (a mystery/thriller by Joseph Finder) and the hula hoop (you can only pick two things). I'm a little dubious about the hula hoop, but I will give it a fair trial. I figured that getting it for free and knowing that I have to write a review of it will guilt me into using it regularly for at least several weeks. And who knows, I might love it and become a world champion hula hooper.
