I\u2019ve decided to mix things up a little bit this month when it comes to our monthly prize. In the spirit of the holidays, instead of featuring one watermelon-related gift and giving it away to one comment chosen at random, I\u2019m going to feature six <\/em>cool prizes (three today and three more on Wednesday) and let the winner pick which one they\u2019d like to receive.<\/p>\n

The other reason I\u2019m featuring six watermelon prizes is to help everyone with their holiday shopping by giving you ideas for things to get the watermelon lover in your life. I know I could use some inspiration now and then. Every year I tell myself that I\u2019m going to have my shopping wrapped up long before <\/em>Christmas, and every year I find myself scrambling the day before to get it all done. Does anyone else find themselves in a similar predicament?<\/p>\n

If all my friends and family members were watermelon lovers, I wouldn\u2019t have that problem, because they\u2019d be getting one of these gifts and they\u2019d love it:<\/p>\n

\"\"A WATERMELON GROWING KIT ($9.06 on Amazon.com<\/a>) \u2013 I\u2019ve always wanted to grow my own watermelon, but I never know how to start the process. That\u2019s where the Sprout \u2018n Grow Greenhouse comes in. This kit is actually an all-in-one product that allows you to grow your very own Sugar Baby watermelons. It includes watermelon seeds, a windowsill greenhouse, planting mixture, instructions and an information sheet. The best part? When the recipient harvests his or watermelon later in the year, they might invite you over to their house to help eat it!<\/p>\n

A FAKE SLICE OF WATERMELON ($11.50 on DisplayFakeFoods.com<\/a>) \u2013 I\u2019m not sure if this delicious-looking gift is thoughtful or just kind of mean, but I\u2019m leaning toward thoughtful. Just look how real this slice of watermelon is! Who wouldn\u2019t love to have a slice of watermelon sitting on their desk all year long, even if it\u2019s a fake one? I know I\u2019d like it; plus, it would inspire me to eat more watermelon \u2013 and that\u2019s always a good thing.<\/p>\n

\"\"A WATERMELON-SCENTED CANDLE ($9.99 on Amazon.com<\/a>) \u2013 This gift is sort of like the fake slice of watermelon because it\u2019ll probably make you really hungry for watermelon. But here\u2019s the thing: If you\u2019re a watermelon lover, you\u2019re always <\/em>hungry for watermelon, so it\u2019s okay. This 16-ounce candle offers approximately 90 hours of sweet watermelon-scented burn time. The only question is, do you save it for the spring and summer, or do you fire this thing up on December 25 two minutes after you open it?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
