So, I met my contact in Mexico and picked up the goods!
So, I've been bouncing back and forth across the US/Mexico border a bit lately. I've been both taking care of some business and having some fun. When I was in Mexico yesterday, I had an idea.
MY IDEA
Down in the Mexican border towns, there are plenty of enthusiastic entrepreneurs. They always seem to come up with new and interesting ways to make money. One of the longtime staples of custom wares to sell has been personalized bracelets.
From first names to sports teams, the colors and words are yours to choose. I pondered the novelty of this for a moment and decided to put in a bulk order. I left a deposit with a guy yesterday and got a few samples up front, but had ordered enough that it would take some time to get them all made.
BACK AGAIN
Although I was a little late for out high noon rendezvous, he was waiting and ready. I squared up on the rest of the payment, and he provided me with my order, thirty custom made STEEMIT.COM bracelets in two-tone blue.
I think that they look pretty nice, and that they can be used to promote steemit to others. Seriously, who wears a bracelet advertising a website? Well, when steemit is that website, I think I know plenty of people who would enjoy them.
MY GOAL
not forgotten about you.)My goal is simple. I like sending presents to other steemians. I've sent a lot of things in my time here, and I still have some more T-shirts to make when I get back home to send out. (@fingersik, @len.george, and others - I have
Obviously, custom making T-shirts takes me time to produce the goods too, but these bracelets are already made. If anyone would like one, please comment below and let me know. I do not have enough for every steemian, but I do have a good handful. I'll be picking some of the people who reply to this post and contacting them on steemit.chat or discord to get a valid shipping address. I've already purchased the bracelets and will cover the shipping costs, so if I pick you, it'll be yours for free.
In total, I have about thirty of them ready to go. I'll wait until I get home in the next week or so to ship them out. Please comment below if you want a gift that @papa-pepper picked up in Mexico.
SUPER-CUSTOM
As an added bonus, I'll even pick a few winners to get personalized username bracelets, like this one that I had made for my twin @meesterboom.
So... if you are getting in the contest to try to get a STEEMIT.COM bracelet, why not try to get your own username bracelet too. When you reply, just add in the colors that you would like if I choose you as a custom winner. Please reply with the background color first and then the color for the lettering. As an example, the one for @meesterboom is BLACK/YELLOW, since the background is black and the lettering is yellow.
Yeah, this is kind of random and strange, but if Papa leaves the country on a trip, who wouldn't want him to bring them back something special? Again, what I can do is limited, but at least I will do it and I'll do it for free! So let me know you would like the chance to win one, and perhaps even a custom username bracelet of your color choice too!

Until next time…
Don’t waste your time online, invest it with steemit.com
great idea. they look great too
Thank you. I figured you guys could use some! Glad that you like it!
GREAT with my new Steemit tattoo!
Your tatto is very cool :D
Glad you like it!
Hardcore STEEMER.
Tell me you wrote a post about this tattoo!
I sure did. Don't wanna seem like a spammer on peppers blog, so head to my page if you want to read it.
I'd let it slide, but good call!
OH MAN THAT IS AWESOME!!! I didn't think you would get it done so fast. This is great! Wow that is so cool man! They moded my design so that the fish is in the window. Looks way better that way. So pleased.
It would fit.
I'm already a walking bill board, might as well just add on to it :)
Wow that's dedication :O
I have an idea, let's find a random new minnow and nominate them. Someone one is active and has less than 50 reputation. Any nominations?
Good idea.
It might be me!! I've been on here a little over a week, and I've previously only been posting on Facebook about my foraging and Colorado adventures. I watched 16 advice from papa videos on YouTube before I even joined Steemit!! I teach in a classroom exclusively for children with Autism, which means I have summers off, which means I'm still spending a lot of time in the mountains... What I mean is, I should hurry and get to my introduce yourself, and I have a lot of material and really want to do it well, but also want to maximize my summer because that's when I'm doing the most interesting things. I want to be an esteemed Steemer, but I also want to take my time and do it right. Please let me know if this seems wrong and if you think I should just go ahead and post something to say who I am. Thanks for all the advice either way!!
Or me ??? ^_^ But we need to hurry I will soon break the 50 reputation mark :-D But believe me, I am a miiinnooow hahaha !
I would like to get one if you don't mind. They look really cool thoThank you for sharing again to us @papa-pepper
Wow, these look awesome! - I'd love to get one. However, I do live in Sweden so I'm not sure how much the shipping would cost you. Perhaps it's a bit pricey if you compare the costs to ship it to other Steemians instead.
Anyhow, why I would want one:
First of all, I love reading your posts and I'm a huge fan of yours. Secondly, I work hard and put in tons of effort to help and increase the experience for minnows on Steemit. I've also been doing Steemit merchandise giveaways in the past and now I'm looking forward to a "Steem Cruise" in August. - That "mini vacation" of mine will be incredible and I'll also make sure to make the most out of it, by giving away Steemit T-shirts and business cards/flyers to other people onboard. I'd love to wear one of these bracelets during my time on board the ship. (And obviously after it too!).
Love the Steem cruise idea. Word of mouth is going to be huge in expanding this platform.
I would like one. Cool idea!
good gift indeed. You always come up with great ideas hence why I am glad that you are here at steemint and adding value daiy.
Hooray, see my latest post for a milestone celebration, I mentioned you there. Thanks for all
Cool, thank you all!

A regular one, but If I'm the luckiest then green/yellow! Thanks for all you do for steemit, you are appreciated!
Man that would be rad to get a steemit one. My sister got me a Jamaican one when she got in Jamaican.

I'd love a bracelet! Thanks for all the great content. If you pick me for a special personalized one, how about red/white?
Cheers!

I can ship worldwide... that was my goal.
wow they look awesome,thank you for sharing and upvote and follow like I did.

So cool, I want one! I'd bw happy with a Steemit one, but a black/white custom would be the bees knees!
Good stuff right there
Would love one! :) Of course with Steemit colors!
Okay, you're entered!
Thanks!
Ooo these look awesome! As a STEEM-evangelist, I would love to wear one of these with pride!
If it were a custom username bracelet I would definitely want you to choose the colors because you're the best @papa-pepper.

Lol, thank you! I'll let you know!
I'd like one! :D
PURPLE/BLUE if I win a custom one, too! <3

my choice for bracelete would be- @shankar is GREEN/ORANGE.
I'm your huckleberry
;)
You are awesomesauce. The epitome of the community of Steemit. And no, I'm not just swelling your head for a bracelet, hehe, although I would love one. But your generosity and Steemit loyalty made you one of my first people to follow when I first joined three weeks ago :)
Steem on my friend, and happy travels!
I like the Tombstone reference, that helps.
This looks like a brilliant idea. Pretty nifty looking bracelets. Well done!
I like the colours you used for the steemit bracelet, kinda like the team colours!!
That's a very sweet initiative! I don't wear jewelry, so I'll pass and leave it for others who do. I just wished to express how very thoughtful that is of you.
Thank you for letting me know! Glad that you still like it!
Wow, this is amazing. You are supporting steemit here! You are a true steemit user, and i love that. I do not expect to get a bracelet but i am still leaving a comment to let you know that this stood out in the flood of new blogs being posted and thought you should get credit from all of us!
Thank you @papa-pepper from all of us here at STEEMIT !
Keep us updated if you are going to make more or something similar with different colors.
What a cool idea! @papa-pepper you are so innovative and generous! I would love a Steemit bracelet. For a personalized one? Black/red. Thank you!
I would wear one proudly being blue which is my favorite color is a bonus as fit a personalized one if picked I would like dark and light blue also
Great gift idea.
Purple/pink @ kubbyelizabeth :)
Thanks for always thinking us!
Awesome gift idea!
Would you send one all the way to Ireland?
....that would be awesome.....I see that you will send them all over the world...
I would love one
so Irish colors would be good - Green and White...
Please take this as my entry!
Entered.
:-)
I have hoarder tendencies so I'm not going to ask for one but I think this is a really cool idea 👍
meep
Thanks for that.

I'd like one!

Sweet! Your a kind dude! I'd end up losing mine so save it for someone else :)
Nice honesty!
Nice stuff @papa-pepper can i have one for me?😍😍
I would like to have that :D. Black blue

If I had a bracelet, people are so nosey, and they would definitely ask me who steemit is, and that's my excuse to launch into promotion mode.
If I am lucky enough to receive one of the fab personalised ones, black and red would be my colour of choice.
I am a total steemit nerd/addict and my day wouldn't be complete without spending a few hours here. It's got to the point now that when I go out anywhere I'm always looking for something new to post photo - wise.
The first thing I do when I wake up is check steemit. 😀
Have a great day.Ohhhhhh! That is a totally brilliant idea @papa-pepper! Well I didn't get a super t-shirt, so a super bracelet would be awesome.
Cool, we will see...
This is a really nice idea. I don't use chat but if I did I'd throw my hat in the ring.
I'd love one. Always nice to see @papa-pepper spreading the love!
Well done post thanks for sharing
I would love to give one to my wife.
Oh I'd love to sport one of these awesome bracelets!
And if I were to receive a personalized
@fraenkone, I'd want it to be the exactly the same colors as the steemit.com one...fingers crossed 🤞
Wow! Very generous!!! I don't wear bracelets, so I'm not asking for one, but I wanted to say that's so nice!!!
These are pretty awesome! Cool idea! Where do you like to go in MX? My girlfriend and I were planning to explore a bit down there soon.
I just cross the border and shop quick in Progresso usually, but Acapulco is nice too.
That,s so cool !! I would wear it and never ever take it off!! Black/white
NICE WAY TO GO @papa-pepper.
Lo quiero, por favor. Vivo en Mexico. I want it please. I live in Mexico.
Great idea, I would love to have one!
I'd love one 🤗
