Hydration for the holidays
Today in Aly-land, I am a bit parched. This may or may not have something to do with having a bit too much champagne last night - but thank god it happened at a time when I have multiple cases of of my favorite artesian water around - FIJI - which I am making great use of.
I actually first discovered how much I love this water when I was on a South Beach press trip and there was baskets of it in my hotel room. I’m not sure how legal this is, but I ended up throwing many such bottles in my baggage to take home. And then my basket was refilled! So I took more. It was immoral, but brilliant and delicious. (And it’s not like I stole those little bottles of vodka or anything! THAT would have been really wrong. At least water is a naturally occurring substance…it’s sort of like stealing air.) Plus, it made my bag REALLY heavy, which when lugging, had to help me burn extra calories. Thus, the water helped improve my health in several ways. Our love was sealed.
Now, when I’m actively on the hunt for the best holiday gift ideas to blog about, FIJI water and I have been reunited, this time through their home-delivery service. During the holiday season this year November-December FIJI Water home delivery is offering 30 percent off home delivery subscriptions ($23.25/month, $279/year). And, exclusively for SheKnows readers, you can get this discount for a whole year. (Be sure to use Promo Code: FIJISHE www.fijiwater.com)
Think about it: You give a loved one FIJI Water home delivery as a holiday gift, and not only can you rest easy, knowing they will not say, dehydrate, but they ALSO are likely to think of you with every single sip. That’s love.
Some other reasons this rocks as a holiday gift:
Weight Management
Naturally calorie-free, water can contribute to weight management. Water helps control the appetite by creating a sense of fullness. Many times when people feel hungry, their body is telling them they need to consume more water. At least eight glasses of water is recommended each day.
Healthy Skin
Another great benefit of water is that it contributes to healthy skin. Water flushes out impurities in the skin, leaving a clear, glowing complexion which makes skin look younger. Also, water helps plump up the skin cells. Moisture evaporates readily through the skin, so drinking water can prevent the skin from looking dehydrated and may be a better choice for maintaining a radiant complexion.
So, not only will your dearest think of you and not die of being perilously parched - but they will stay fit and gorgeous! It is perfect.
So perfect that we’re going to give the gift of FIJI home delivery to one of you - for an entire YEAR!
To have your chance at the prize, share the story of something you’ve EVILLY STOLEN and how it’s made your world a better place. (It’s ok if you did this when you were like five, Freud said we’re not entirely done developing our inhibitions before then. It’s not your fault. In my case, it was like, two months ago - apparently I still haven’t found mine.) Do you drink enough water? Here’s your chance to be guilted into it! Deadline October 12.
Fun fact! Aly Walansky wrote this story just for you on September 16th, 2008 |

Caesars AC has the most delicious smelling shower gel and shampoo and I must admit, as embarrassing as it is, my husband stood guard while I pilfered the maids wagon.I as sooooo ashamed, but I smell really nice.
September 16th, 2008 at 4:35 pm
Any time I go to a hotel, no matter HOW long I am staying, I take ALL of the free toiletries that they have — knowing that they will be replenished the next day — so that I can take those too!
The sad thing is — I use the ones I have pilfered to take on my next trip. If I like the ones at the new hotel, I will take and use those! But even if I DON’T like the new ones as well as the ones I brought — I STILL take them (in case I don’t like the ones at the NEXT hotel). What a vicious cycle it is!!
Thank you for a GREAT giveaway!!
September 16th, 2008 at 4:52 pm
FIJI ME, PLEASE!
September 16th, 2008 at 5:50 pm
I like that Fiji Me Please!
I love Fiji water!!
September 16th, 2008 at 6:28 pm
This is a wonderful giveaway! Thanks for the opportunity to win!
September 16th, 2008 at 7:38 pm
I have evilly stolen my husbands heart- oh and crackers and extra sauce packets and napkins and straws- but not really stealing huh?
September 16th, 2008 at 7:43 pm
I stole a candy bar from the corner store when I was about 5. My parents marched me downstairs to tell the owners and apologize. I still remember my shame!
September 16th, 2008 at 8:10 pm
I’m also guilty of taking all the shampoos and soaps while in a hotel. Even if we’re staying a number of days and don’t use it all, we put those away, so they’ll leave some more out.
Thanks so much for this giveaway. What a wonderful prize!
September 16th, 2008 at 10:13 pm
I have taken extra napkins at fast food places when I was out at home… silly, huh?
September 16th, 2008 at 10:25 pm
I take the shampoos and soaps from the hotels. I thought I would make spa baskets for the granddaughters at Christmas. Turns out they are all tom boys so I brought to a local womens shelter. They were so thrilled to get that huge bag full and it motivated me to donate more things to them.
September 17th, 2008 at 1:18 am
WOW what is it about hotels that inspire the evil thief that lies dormant within us to take over? I too am guilty of hotel extras! Those travel size shampoos are perfect for days the beach or pool!
September 17th, 2008 at 1:28 am
My friends thought it was funny to load my purse up for me one night when we were out. I didn’t notice until I was at home looking for my keys that I had taken home the salt, pepper, several napkins, a menu, and a FULL BOTTLE OF KETCHUP!
September 17th, 2008 at 5:34 am
I can’t remember stealing anything, but I want the free water! Thanks!
September 17th, 2008 at 7:42 am
I have yet to steal anything but when and if I do,I know who to share the story (and the goods) with (psst..thats you Aly)!
September 17th, 2008 at 7:53 am
I can’t think of anything I “EVILLY STOLEN”. I am guilty of taking all of the complimentary shampoos and such from hotels but they expect you to take them. If I think of something, I’ll be back. Oh and I don’t drink enough water.
September 17th, 2008 at 8:09 am
When I was in high school a good friend of mine was very wealthy and had tons of clothes. There was a pair of panties that I found her VERY attractive in and they were beautiful. One day when I was at her house and she was in the shower I looked through her drawer and saw them, I know it was wrong but I snatched them up and put them in my pocket. I probably wore them dozens of times and every time I did I thought of her. I think this is what started my lingerie fetish and made my world a better place. I do not drink enough water, sometimes 2 bottles a day but need to lay off the soda.
September 17th, 2008 at 8:41 am
As a kid, I stole gum. I got home and felt so guilty that I threw it away.
September 17th, 2008 at 8:50 am
when i was 4 we lived in a VW beetle. my mom uncle and 2 sisters. we were destitute. well we would stop at gas stations to use the toilet, and i would get extra paper for the car, just in case, and i came running out of the bathroom yelling “I got it!” waiving it over my head…hehe i got scolded for having a big mouth. ah the good old days!
September 17th, 2008 at 10:29 am
I never stole anything…only picked up money off the ground if given permission…as for the Fiji Water giveaway…it rocks!
September 17th, 2008 at 12:26 pm
Great contest I want to win
September 17th, 2008 at 1:49 pm

September 17th, 2008 at 2:36 pm
Thank you for having this contest. I really appreciate it.
September 17th, 2008 at 7:14 pm
Here in Louisiana I buy a lot of bottle water and I love FIJI water
September 17th, 2008 at 7:29 pm
When I was 5 instead of being the thief I talked my friend into stuffing her arm up the vending machine to try to grab the candy. Her arm got stuck and it was a HUGE brouhaha to get it out (angry Mom’s, police, firemen, onlookers, etc…) It taught me at an early age that the life of crime was not for me (and also not to talk my friends into doing something I wouldn’t do)
September 17th, 2008 at 8:20 pm
We had FIJI at a film festival I worked at and after it was over I got to take home 4 cases, great water
September 18th, 2008 at 9:46 am
I stole my husband from another woman
September 18th, 2008 at 12:19 pm
The only time I’ve ever stolen something was when I was 6 and my grandma and mom talked me into it. They told me to take this toy ring from Revco. I still feel guilty about this. lol Thank you!!
September 18th, 2008 at 6:48 pm
I had my heart stollen when I had my first child.
September 18th, 2008 at 8:01 pm
When I was pregnant with my first child, my husband (who was a student) and I had absolutely no money. The public library that was close enough to walk to, thank god, kept toilet paper, cleaning supplies, etc in a utility closet in the women’s bathroom.I went to the library ALOT and we always had toilet paper! And I love Fiji water!
September 18th, 2008 at 11:11 pm
I took the toiletries when I went on business trips - they put us up at such great places and the places used high end soaps, shampoos, etc. Thanks for the giveaway!
September 19th, 2008 at 4:07 am
Many years ago my husband (then boyfriend) and I went to a Dude Ranch with some friends. The housekeeper would not give us more than 1 towel each and since it was mid August and we were doing many outdoors things we really needed them. We discovered that the linen closet’s hinges were on the outside of the door, so we took them off and took all the towels they had. It worked out great since no one we knew had to purchase towels for years
September 19th, 2008 at 12:56 pm
Ok, I admit that I’ve taken a few more taco sauce packets than I’ve needed from a certain taco restaurant so that I would have some at home when I make my own. I would buy it from the store, mind you, but they don’t sell that particular heat strength.
September 19th, 2008 at 2:04 pm
Thank you for having this. I have to admit I love McDonald’s straws. They are large and I cant find them at stores. So when I make milkshakes at home their straws are the best to use! So unfortunately every time I go to McDonald’s in the summer months I pick up 1 or 2 extra straws. Yes, I am guilty but dang those milkshakes are delicious!
I currently dont drink enough water but am trying to do better. Thank you!

I just went on a cruise and every day I took all the toiletries and packed them. I saved them all to give to my girls when I got home. They love that.
September 19th, 2008 at 11:03 pm
Once, my best friend Melissa and I were out for pizza. They gave us our pizza with, of course, the little triangle-shaped pizza server to dish out the yummy slices. Well, Melissa and I thought it would be a grand idea to throw that in the box with the extra pizza. She felt so guilty the next day, I literally had to talk her out of taking it back. That was years ago and she still talks about it. But it did, however, brighten up life for my mother because it is in her possession and she LOVES it. She always thanks Melissa and I for being little thieves. Now how is that for parents teaching morals? Hahaha.
Oh, and yes…I am still alive.
I MISS YOU! I will e-mail soon. <3
September 21st, 2008 at 11:14 am
whenever I go to a hotel, I take the free toiletries that they have —every day
September 21st, 2008 at 11:41 am
When we were really young my neighbor babysat us and my brother’s friend wanted to get a pack of Kool-Aid and they couldn’t get it so shoved me through a window or something??? don’t remember at this point- to take 11 cents out of the change jar.
The neighbor saw us and told mom and she sent me to bed while it was still light out to think about the evils of my ways and I never have been slightly tempted to steal anything again.
September 21st, 2008 at 4:36 pm
I do not drink enough water. I may drink a glass or two a week. Bad girl I know. Thank you!
September 23rd, 2008 at 10:54 am
I did take a candy bar from the store when I was young and my mother made me go back in and return it.

September 26th, 2008 at 10:34 pm
OK this is awful, but my fiance now was out on a first date with my roommate. She brought him home and right off the bat we clicked!! That night I totally stole home from her and really didn’t mean to, we have been together for 5 years and are getting married in November
September 26th, 2008 at 10:49 pm

My husband and I loved the hotel towels so much during our honeymoon that we accidently took one home! Yes, I feel guilty, but when we recently did a purge before we moved I donated it along with some old sheets to our local animal shelter.

I never tell this to anyone, but I used to steal MAD books (by artists who drew for MAD magazine) from my local bodega. Apparently I was pretty good at it, but thankfully I stopped well before my teens.
September 27th, 2008 at 12:44 pm
I don’t have money for clean water. I’ve been drinking tap water, and I’m worried about its effects on my kidneys.
September 27th, 2008 at 1:06 pm
I seem to have an affinity for pens — I usually have about 3 or 5 in my person at any one time, and for the life of me, have no idea how most of them got there….thanks for the chance FIJI ME PLEASE!! Because my dehydrated body knows it doesn’t get enough water.
September 27th, 2008 at 1:06 pm
When I was about three or four, while in the store, I took a couple of balloons from a bag that already had a hole in it. My mother caught me, smacked my hand, made me put them back, and I never took something that didn’t belong to me again.

September 27th, 2008 at 2:29 pm
I have stolen jelly from restaurants. You know those little packs and some places give you a basket full? I have put some in mu purse to give to my kids. They love it. Please don’t turn me in to Dennys!
September 27th, 2008 at 2:58 pm

September 27th, 2008 at 3:46 pm
I think I haven’t stolen anything. I’d like to win this water. Thanks.
September 27th, 2008 at 3:47 pm
There was a time when I was so broke, that I would take extra salt, pepper, napkins, etc. from restaurants so I could use it at home. Thankfully, I don’t need to do that anymore!
September 27th, 2008 at 4:05 pm
Hopefully nothing!
September 27th, 2008 at 4:06 pm

September 27th, 2008 at 8:28 pm
I hydrate like crazy and can honestly say I’m addicted to water! Fiji is my very fave water of all time, but I gave it up about a year ago to (1)stop throwing out plastic bottles and (2) to save money. I have since moved to a bigger city that has recycling so if I win this great prize there will be no guilt. guiltonlyonly piure

We took a vacation and thought all the fiji in the fridge came with the room along with the other complimentary sodas that were not complimentary at all!
Fiji rocks.
September 27th, 2008 at 10:50 pm
I always, at least whenever possible, steal my husband’s change. I usually end up giving it to kids anyway. And I don’t drink enough water, this giveaway would help.

September 28th, 2008 at 6:06 pm
I worked for a company that was placed in to a court ordered liquidation. I’m not sure if it was considered ’stealing’, but when the company closed and the liquidators were cleaning out our office, my associates and I grabbed what ever we could fit in our cars. =) Hey, it was going to the trash anyway. We got everything from trash cans (and bags…lol), pens, staplers, shelving, filing supplies, and a ton of binders (do you know how much those cost today?). We considered it our way of recycling…though retirement would have been better…
September 28th, 2008 at 7:15 pm
My sister had this recipe for potaotes , she was pretty good at making and she wouldn’t give me the recipe, so one day when she wasn’t home, I went over to her house and stole the recipe and I made a copy, I now make the recipe and it is better than hers. And it made the world better because People now ask me to make the potaotes for family gatherings because they like mine better. instead of her.
September 28th, 2008 at 9:13 pm

I don’t recall ever stealing anything. Sorry I don’t have a creative story.
October 4th, 2008 at 9:56 pm
When I was ten or eleven, I stole several Nancy Drew books from the equivalent of a Wal-Mart. I was jealous because other classmates had them, but we were relatively poor and I never had money, toys, or books. Then my classmate had a birthday, and I would have been empty handed and embarrassed, but I wrapped up several of the latest ones and at least didn’t feel bad going to her birthday party. I haven’t thought about that in years.
October 4th, 2008 at 9:58 pm

When I was 8 I could not stand the idea of throwing away your Christmas tree. So just after dark I snuck out with 2 friends and a wagon. We “stole” about 25 “thrown out” Christmas trees and built a forest of Christmas trees hidden away from adults prying eyes. They stayed silently swaying in the wind for several weeks, dropping their needles, until they were discovered and we were punished for causing a fire hazard!
October 9th, 2008 at 2:23 pm
Pick me!
October 9th, 2008 at 3:51 pm

October 11th, 2008 at 9:30 pm
About four years ago while dinning out I saw the cutest salt&pepper shakers I had ever seen. Now I see them everyday.
October 11th, 2008 at 11:08 pm
love water!
October 11th, 2008 at 11:27 pm
Anything for free!
October 12th, 2008 at 10:11 am
I would love to win, I have always wanted to purchase the Fiji Water, but it’s a little costly for our budget.
October 12th, 2008 at 11:12 am
I love my FIGI Water!!!!! Can;t live without it.
October 12th, 2008 at 12:29 pm
give me enough to swim in
October 12th, 2008 at 2:26 pm
Well, besides the usual toiletries… I have also taken the chocolates that they put on the pillow at night from one posh place I stayed. Yumm-O! They shouldn’t have left the cart unattended…
October 12th, 2008 at 3:40 pm
This would be a great prize…would love to have it to quench my thirst at work! Thanks for the chance to win!
October 12th, 2008 at 4:33 pm
Last name withheld to hide the guilty…When I was about 8 I stole a pair of the most gaudy dangly earrings from Kmart or some such store…I’ve never been able to forget the lump of fear and excitement in my gut. But I’ve kept an iron fist closed on my sticky fingers since that time! The Fiji water would be great to quench the thirst I may get for any future five finger discounts!
October 12th, 2008 at 5:55 pm
Fiji water….would I love to have this in my world history classroom with 7th graders!
October 12th, 2008 at 8:56 pm
When I was 5 1/2 I took my brother’s catcher’s mitt and hid it and he got into trouble for it being missing.
I am a constant water drinker and would love to win the Fiji!
October 12th, 2008 at 10:12 pm
Gotta Love Fiji !!!!!!
October 12th, 2008 at 10:55 pm
I like to take coffee creamer from gas stations, restaurants basically when I find a place that serves my kind of creamer not the half and half stuff.
October 13th, 2008 at 4:39 am
I drink water everyday and I would love to win Fiji water for a year. Thank you for offering this sweepstakes.
October 13th, 2008 at 6:21 am
I AM ALWAYS THIRSTY. HELP!!!!!!!!!
October 13th, 2008 at 8:21 am
I drink a lot of smoothies, and can’t seem to find straws that I like to take them on the go. When I eat at Subways I get a few “extra” for later!!
October 13th, 2008 at 10:30 am
When I was little I once stole a candy bar on a bet, but was so guilty about it I told my mom and had to bring it back! hehehe I do take home the shower things at hotels, but I figure they know you are going to!
Love FIJI it is THE best!
October 13th, 2008 at 11:40 am
Whenever I purchase a sandwich or corn dog at a gas station convenience store, I always take a few extra condiment packets. I use these with my Lunchables. I don’t know why they don’t include them (they should). Thanks for the contest. I have nasty tasting well water. Yuck! I spend a fortune on water at the stores. This would be a really great win for me.
October 13th, 2008 at 11:42 am
wow
October 13th, 2008 at 1:26 pm
I never stole anything, not that I was too good, just too scared to do it.
I love Fiji water and would love to win!
October 13th, 2008 at 2:06 pm
I love mango salsa at baja fresh and take a couple of little containers home to eat later.
Fiji is awsome!
October 13th, 2008 at 6:16 pm
I’ve never stolen anything, but would love to win!
October 13th, 2008 at 6:30 pm
My ex-roommate bought a hiddious shirt and planned on wearing it out on my birthday. While she was sleeping I took the shirt and trashed it. Trust me, the world was better off not seeing her in it.
I love fiji water!!! This would save me soo much money!
October 13th, 2008 at 8:32 pm
I truly believe we were meant to take the hotel ‘freebies’ - this is advertising - but I have a not-so-secret pleasure when I take the hotel pens - I’ll even stop at the front desk and ask for more!
If I have learned anything about nutrition - it is that water is the healthiest freebie you could want.
October 13th, 2008 at 10:09 pm
I’m expecting and am drinking water like crazy so this would be a godsend to win!
October 13th, 2008 at 10:24 pm
Anything that wasn’t nailed down!
October 13th, 2008 at 10:27 pm
Can’t think of anything I’ve stolen, it was never really my things. I, like others, have taken the free bath goodies at hotels I stay at, but they factor that into the price anyways. But I do love Fiji water. Thanks!
October 13th, 2008 at 11:32 pm
Would love to have this water.
October 14th, 2008 at 1:08 am
For cheap thrills, I stole lipstick & hair gel in my teens. I have stolen toilet paper from public restrooms when we were very poor. I don’t drink enough water- but I LOVE bottled water. It makes me feel fancy!
October 14th, 2008 at 2:31 am
I stole a lot of things in my teens sadly. But I evilly my cousin’s clothes & make-up and totally denied it when I got called out on it!
October 14th, 2008 at 2:33 am
Oh yeah, I also steal Splenda packets every where I go that has them! I meant to put that in my other post. & I LOVE Figi water, but I just can’t afford it.
October 14th, 2008 at 5:58 am
I remember stealing a Hershey bar when I was in elementary school. Can’t remember how old I was but I remember I took it because I wasn’t allowed to eat chocolate because of my allergies. Wow did I get in trouble when my parents found out as I lay there in the emergency room telling the doctor what I had done…that candy bar cost me a day in the hospital and the loss of my parent’s trust for a very long time.
October 14th, 2008 at 9:29 am
FIJI is listed as one of the best waters to consume according to the weight loss cure. This would be a great prize for me to win as I overcome my disease.
October 14th, 2008 at 10:13 am
Our hotel carries Fiji,for guests only,I love it!!!
October 14th, 2008 at 10:29 am
fiji is a premium water
October 14th, 2008 at 10:30 am
I saw my favorite singer drinking this water and I thought, what the heck if it’s good enough for him, I think I should try it too. It’s great. By the way, my favorite singer is Josh Groban.
October 14th, 2008 at 11:43 am
When I was about 12 I was babysitting and took some of the woman’s makeup.
October 14th, 2008 at 12:30 pm
Super! I was in Fiji 3 weeks ago, the water is awesome. I hope to win this prize.
October 14th, 2008 at 1:04 pm
My daughter the thumb-sucker
always had her blanket with her. Shopping one day, we left home without it. I grabbed one off the shelf just to keep her content & only planned to use it while in the store. Later loading her in the car, I realized I still had it. Oh well, she was a least quiet & happy on the drive home.
October 14th, 2008 at 1:13 pm
When I was 10 or 11, I would go to the grocery store with my girlfriend who would always take a grape and pop it in her mouth. I thought that was a terrible thing to do at the time, but after a few store visits with her, I looked around to make sure no one was watching and quickly grabbed a grape, popped it in my mouth and felt terrible for weeks.
October 14th, 2008 at 2:25 pm
I stole a skirt and some shoes from my sister once…and it got me a date! I don’t feel bad at all, although I will still deny it to this day!
October 14th, 2008 at 2:57 pm
I stole a quarter machine toy that was in a clothing bin at discount store when I was 4. It was probably worth a dime, if that! My mother actually took me back to the store to return it. I never forgot and never took anything again.
October 14th, 2008 at 4:03 pm
I steal coffee from my office to help me get through my day =)
October 14th, 2008 at 4:53 pm
I really don’t think that I ever stole anything before.
oh,once before when I was at school,my mother gave me money to give to someone (charity).and …ok I spent it . but I swear that I pay it back to the same person
October 14th, 2008 at 6:25 pm
I love water. thank you. angel_2417@yahoo.com
October 14th, 2008 at 6:55 pm
wow
October 14th, 2008 at 7:58 pm
Thanks for the chance to win! I drink nothing but water so this would be great!
October 14th, 2008 at 8:01 pm
When I was 9 months pregnant, I went to grocery store hungry. I couldn’t help taking a plum and eating it. I felt terrible.
October 14th, 2008 at 8:34 pm
thanks!
October 14th, 2008 at 8:37 pm
I was guilty of stealing my neighbors tin cans he would use on the porch as a astray. He was a old man and i always felt bad that he didn’t have a real astray so I would make him nice ones out of clay and put them on his porch. But he would come knocking at my door just a yelling that he didn’t want my clay astrays and leave his cans alone.
Yes I love to drink water everyday. I haven’t really drank bottle water to much.
October 14th, 2008 at 8:44 pm
I love Fiji water!!
October 14th, 2008 at 9:09 pm
I too, always took all of the toiletries at the hotel. I have stopped since I recently read that unless you actually used the item that correct etiquette dictates to leave them there.
October 14th, 2008 at 9:32 pm
My whole family loves Fiji water, but unfortuntely it is too expensive for me to drink everyday. This will be a great x-mas gift, something that we are actually going to use!!
October 14th, 2008 at 9:46 pm
Water is life and we love to live! Count us in for Fuji for life.
October 14th, 2008 at 9:59 pm
I have evilly stolen Cadbury eggs when I was a kid. I loved them so much but my mom wouldn’t buy them for me- and they were only in the stores around Easter. Hey a girl’s gotta have her chocolate!
October 14th, 2008 at 10:30 pm
I love bottled water; it makes me feel healthier.
October 14th, 2008 at 11:10 pm
Love me a little Fiji!
October 14th, 2008 at 11:40 pm
Thanks for the contest
October 14th, 2008 at 11:44 pm
We actually got a filter for our sink, and it saves us money. We used to go through so many packages of bottled water a month, that it’s cheaper for us to do it this way.
October 15th, 2008 at 12:10 am
luv fiji water
October 15th, 2008 at 12:20 am
I did steal a peach from a store when I was around 12 years old. I was really hungry and had a headache. I felt better after I ate the peach, but I felt bad about stealing.
I do not drink enough water and would love to have this.
October 15th, 2008 at 12:27 am
I stole my boyfriend’s heart - does that count?
October 15th, 2008 at 1:15 am
I went to Catholic school and when I was in first grade, we were allowed to get a prize out of the ‘treasure chest’ when we were good. There were trinkets like pencils, cool erasers, fake jewelry, etc. I saw two Holy Cards in there and couldn’t decide which one to choose, so I took both of them. I thought for sure I was going straight to hell (Catholic guilt) and still feel badly about it 20+ years later that I never put one of them back.
October 15th, 2008 at 1:45 am
I always take the hotel shampoo and whatever else is there. It’s great for camping!
October 15th, 2008 at 1:50 am
I’ve been stealing cheap condoms. The sad thing is, I just recently realized that I’ve been wearing them backwards! Ouch!
October 15th, 2008 at 2:11 am
anything that says take one
October 15th, 2008 at 3:04 am
I brought home refuge from Padre Island Texas that washed up after Hurricane Ike - it’s other people’s belongings from the Galveston area, so technically not mine. But - the only way to clean the beach of all the debris is so pick it up and take it home or at least take it to a proper dumpster.
October 15th, 2008 at 3:05 am
I’ve taken a book before.
October 15th, 2008 at 3:57 am
Sweet
October 15th, 2008 at 5:07 am
Thanks for the contest! I use the toiletries from one trip for subsequent trips, especially now that TSA is so picky. I would love to win this, having convinced my husband that water is better than soda…..
October 15th, 2008 at 5:22 am
Well this technically isn’t stealing, but I know you really aren’t supposed to do it. But, when I go to buffets I always bring ziplock bags with me so I can take tons of food home. This makes my world a better place, because then I have plenty of free delicious food for dinner!
October 15th, 2008 at 6:43 am
I stole a spring from a display coffee-maker for mine that was brand new.
October 15th, 2008 at 7:17 am

October 15th, 2008 at 8:28 am
When I was 6 I stole the cutest little teddy bear and named it GG. When my mom found out I had it she made me take it back.
October 15th, 2008 at 9:43 am
Not sure I have stolen anything.
How about the steel of a deal I got on an LG LCD TV for $600.
October 15th, 2008 at 9:49 am
I stole a penny candy one time when I was 5 years old. My Mom saw me sucking on it when we were walking out of the store. She made me march back in, give them the candy back and apologize. I NEVER stole another thing again.
Great Giveaway, I love Fiji Water.
October 15th, 2008 at 9:52 am

I had no money and a baby, stole bologna and bread from a grocery store. Still feel guilty years later
October 15th, 2008 at 10:04 am
Great giveaway-
October 15th, 2008 at 10:07 am
I guess the closest I come to stealing is taking extra napkins to keep in the glove box of the car. Evil, I know! It makes my world a better place because I always have a napkin when I need it! I don’t know why I just don’t take them from home. Thanks for the great giveaway!
October 15th, 2008 at 10:20 am
This water would be great, since we live in a rural area and the water does not taste so great.
October 15th, 2008 at 10:27 am
Hey, count me in too…I like water!
October 15th, 2008 at 11:34 am

Always love the water!
October 15th, 2008 at 12:18 pm
I used to eat grapes out of a grape bunch in the grocery store. My Aunt said it was OK because we where paying for them.
Years later I realized we paid by weight. so the ones i used to eat never got paid for as they didn’t get weighed.
October 15th, 2008 at 12:21 pm
If you end up with the extra toiletries from a hotel, donate to charity for homeless. Could use a supply of Fiji. Nice and generous giveaway.
October 15th, 2008 at 12:28 pm
What a way to help save money
and get something you use daily
October 15th, 2008 at 1:18 pm
Would love this. Thanks.
October 15th, 2008 at 1:23 pm

October 15th, 2008 at 2:28 pm
I don’t use ketchup on a regular basis so I don’t like to buy it. But I have taken all the individual packets I can get my hands on so it will be there when I need it.
October 15th, 2008 at 3:02 pm
thanks for the opportunity to win a great practical prize
October 15th, 2008 at 3:10 pm
I can get into this prize.
October 15th, 2008 at 3:26 pm
when I was about 9 I stole a quarter out or my mothers purse. Boy did I get it when she found out she said it didnt matter if it was a quarter or a hundred dollars doing something wrong was still wrong not matter what the loss. To this day I have never taken anything that doesnt belong to me.
October 15th, 2008 at 3:37 pm
This is my all time favorite water. It is amazing!! I would love to win!!!
October 15th, 2008 at 4:03 pm

October 15th, 2008 at 6:27 pm
Would love to win this. Our well water is all but undrinkable and this would be a pleasant change.
October 15th, 2008 at 6:28 pm
This would certainly save a bundle by not having to buy water for a while. Thanks for the chance.
October 15th, 2008 at 6:30 pm
I HATE my well water–it’s gross and leaves red stains in my toilet bowl. Anything that leaves stains in your toilet bowl can’t be good for you. This is why a year of FIJI water would be WONDERFUL!
October 15th, 2008 at 6:37 pm
At age 6 I accompanied my mom on a grocery shopping trip, and sneaked away on a little adventure of my own while she shopped for veggies. I noticed a can of bandaids, the cute ones with colors and cute prints on them, had fallen from the shelf and many of the bandaids were spilled on the floor. Knowing they couldn’t sell the wrapped bandaids that were on the floor, I put them in my pocket. Then I used them on my boo-boos and my little brother’s boo-boos until they were all used up. Can’t remember what I told my mom about how I got them. I just remember they felt special.
Love Fiji Water. It is my FAVORITE.
October 15th, 2008 at 6:50 pm
nicked a gorgeous murano glass ashtray from an apartment lobby.

October 15th, 2008 at 7:13 pm

I once stole my mom’s cigarettes once when I was little and pretended to smoke with them.
October 15th, 2008 at 7:39 pm
I stole a wine glass from outside a hotel in Austin TX when I was on vacation. Someone from a bridal party left it on the sidewalk when they got into their limo.
Was it stealing or was it recycling? I don’t know, but I love my wine glass!
October 15th, 2008 at 8:51 pm
I took a set of Corona Salt and Pepper shakers from a rest. in Ca when I visited there in the 80.s and Corona was not even available on the east coast. I would love to win this water as it is my favorite. Thanks for the contest.

October 15th, 2008 at 10:55 pm
When I was 5, I stole a Barbie hat that was out of the box. I didn’t really know it was stealing until my mom marched me back into the store and I had to apologize–how embarrassing and traumatic for a kid. It bettered my life by learning I never wanted to have live through that embarrassment again.
October 15th, 2008 at 11:00 pm
I know when I was younger, I would walk down the street to the convenience store and steal (and sometimes buy) comic books. I remember this, because I sure do remember my mom’s reaction when she found them. Whoops.
October 15th, 2008 at 11:03 pm
When I go to hotels, I end up leaving with towels, mugs, etc. I feel that they should be complimentary because not only the fact of germs but, also the high price for the room and taxes. I pay taxes! Come on!
October 15th, 2008 at 11:24 pm
I have evilly stolen my 2nd grade classmate’s pickle pin. I was soooo mean! I now believe in Karma because when I went to college, guess who was my roommate??!! She didn’t ask for her pin back, though. Oh, the guilt!
October 15th, 2008 at 11:45 pm
I must confess that I stole my best friend’s boyfriend who is now my husband. I now have an amazing life. I need to drink more water.
October 16th, 2008 at 9:00 am
I took an Entertainment book from a former employer and enjoyed using the restaurant coupons.
