As promised in the other thread, today is the Epic reveal of the prizes for the Hardship Fund Winter Raffles (a little alpaca humour for you there).
I will be revealing the prizes one by one here today and tomorrow entries will be opened, details of how to buy tickets will be in another new thread.
You’ll notice everything has a prize code number, this is because to make the actual raffle draw day go smoothly I will be sending a form to those who buy tickets to fill out their prize preferences and these numbers will be used for that. A full list of prizes in spreadsheet form will be made available to make filling out your preferences easier than scrolling through this thread.
Before I start the reveal I would like to say a massive thank you to everyone who has donated prizes. The time, thought, creativity, money, effort, etc that have gone into them all has totally blown me away and we wouldn’t have this raffle without the generosity of everyone who has come up with something to give
Also a quick reminder that prizes can still be donated until noon today if anyone has a late addition

Prize Code : 4 Donated by : @anon26275971 Prize: some owd books - either selected by me or you can have a nosey through some photos and choose. https://m.imgur.com/a/zlj9Y8D Quantity : 4 Description : look, I realise this isn’t going to be anyone’s first choice, but just think of it as the prize version of vegetables. not everything can be exciting - eat your damn books. Restrictions: none!
Quantity : 1 Description : A handwritten notebook-length tale chock full of festive mayhem, brazen stupidity, and a surprisingly persistent air of melancholy. Probably. There’ll be all kinds of time-space shenanigans and a foreword by Ernest Hemingway. Dig! Restrictions : none!
Prize Code : 6 Donated by : @xylo Prize : A very Xylo night out and/or An antique map https://community.drownedinsound.com/uploads/short-url/f0cJgybs5Xi9dRLhfJewIhVDazV.jpeg Quantity : 1 Description : If you win A Very Xylo Night Out, xylo will be taking you out! Hooray! You’ll be plied with food and drinks (he will get in touch beforehand to understand dietary and booze/non-booze requirements), at no cost to you! He will make sure you make it, swaying wildly, to your public transport of choice!
Also up for grabs is An Antique Map! Xylo has access to many of these, so he’ll try his best to pick one that in some way relates to who you are, where you’re from or what you enjoy.
If you are really far away, it might mean that you get the map immediately, but the very xylo night out might be a little while in the planning. He will do his best to make it happen though, unless it threatens to bankrupt him taking flights to where you are. You still get the map!
If you JUST want the map, that’s cool too. You will just irreparably damage Xylo’s feelings brutally.
Restrictions : UK only for the night out (which might mean planning ahead by a month or two to make the visit viable/affordable), anywhere in the world for the map! I can confirm xylo contains meat and nuts.
Prize Code : 9 Donated by : @he_2 Prize : A free female haircut https://m.imgur.com/a/enZg5hQ Quantity : 3 Description : @plasticniki’s mobile hairstylist in chief is delighted to offer a free home haircut (or if not convenient, at another suitable location) for females - happy for it to go to a DiSer, or friends / family / colleagues thereof. Relaxed, convenient, no pressure - and you get to pick the soundtrack (Kraftwerk to beat!) Restrictions : happy to travel at my own expense anywhere in the UK & Ireland.
Prize Code : 10 Donated by : @colossalhorse Prize : A bespoke hot sauce Quantity : 2 Description : The winner of this prize will get a hot sauce cooked and bottled especially for them by me. We’ll have a chat and they can choose a flavour profile and heat level for their chosen sauce in discussion with me. Fruit based? BBQ sauce? Or - one for the beer wankers - perhaps a caramelized onion & stout ketchup? The possibilities are endless! Well, maybe not endless. But pretty broad. Restrictions : As it’s food I’m not sure if I can ship it overseas. It’ll only keep for so long. If it’s an overseas winner I’ll have to see what I can do. As it’s bespoke I’ll check the winners’ requirements/restrictions with them before making the sauce.
