This is a pretty cool contest and I like the way it's designed. I had to get creative on this one, and that's pretty hard for me as I'm not much of the creative type.
Anyway I was thinking, since my husband loves doing Kendo, I might as well try to win this contest and get him some kendo gear. He needs a bokken for practice, but the ones we found near home weren't of any good quality. We've been searching for an oak one but haven't been successful. Therefore, if I win, I would love, love, LOVE to surprise him with a white oak bokken. (Click on the link to see an example).Here's a picture I drew of him doing kendo. I was inspired when I followed him to his grading. So that's what he'll be doing if I win this! :)
Oh, and if there's any leftover money, if I could get a nice kimono to surprise him in, that'd be great (but I don't have a visual of that). But if that's out of the budget, I would like a nice Japanese charm for my charm bracelet. If that's too hard to find, then I guess I'd like some nice Pocky, or Japanese snacks or candy - anything of a peachy flavor or something you can't get out of Japan.
If that's all too hard to send, you can just send the change. I like foreign money -- could use it sometime when (if) I get to visit Japan! :)

Thanks for your entry! Results .
The 1st place winner decided to split up the prizes between the 2nd and 3rd places, so you'll get about half as much spent on you, but at least you get something still :p
Anyway, a bokken would cost me too much ship, so that's out of the question. Kimonos cost well over hundreds of dollars, but I could do something similar and get you a yukata instead (kinda a summer kimono that's a lot cheaper. Any requests?
Please respond to this on AIM at LikeableRodent, and also throw your address in there.
Thanks!
Ahh!
That wasn't supposed to link the whole comment.
Drat.
