Every year Premier Guitar magazine offers up their "Mystery Stocking"; for ~$39 you get a box. One has a guitar, a number have stompboxes, and all have at least $39 worth of stuff.
Every year I buy it, every I don't get a guitar or a stompbox.
This year's had a strap (going on the my son, as all of mine have straps, and he has 3 guitars & 2 straps), a couple sets of strings (one of them also going on to him, as I dislike coated strings), a selection of flatpicks (I fingerpick naked at least 99% of the time), some fret polish, a can of "STRINGTone", etc. - but this year, the usual collection of stickers included an Alembic 50th Anniversary sticker! So I got that going for me.
