Christmas

The USPS played the role of sponsor on the Ellen DeGeneres Show this 2013 Christmas Season.  Famous for her “Beat the Clock” style of games played with guests and audience members, the USPS jumped right in with Ellen, playing a hilarious game they called… Rain, Sleet or Oh No!  See the audience member in the video below race against time to deliver a package through 5 major US cities…USPS style!

In the Oprah tradition, being an audience member on the Ellen Show can be highly rewarding…if not profitable.  While DeGeneres and her show sponsors give away lots of lavish prizes on almost every shown…just for being there…the 12 Days of Giveaways is a special annual tradition. And being in the audience on any of those 12 Days is a highly sought after spot.  On the first day alone, a bountiful lot of gifts worth $2400 was bestowed on audience members.

Starting off with small gifts with big price tags. With gift cards from Restaurant.com, PS Penny and a $300 gift card from Retail Me Not. The giving didn’t stop there as the audience each got on iPad 2 and a beats Dr Dre headphones, an iHome Ipad digital power set, and a slew of “red products” in honor of World Aids Day on Thursday.

Ellen’s 12 Days of Giveaways shows are some of the most popular episodes of the entire year. Watching to see what are the latest gifts and new gadgets, the show always gifts some great ideas on what could be given to friends and family for the holidays. Seeing people get stuffed with presents…over and over… as they all scream with joy and excitement…makes for a feel good event…just like Christmas morning.
