This year (2022) I'm doing my 2nd annual giveaway for clients who have purchased or sold real estate with me in the past who are still located in SE VA on Dec 31. Below I'll be going over locations, times & presents available. It's important to RSVP including the location where you'll be joining and your present selection by December 29th so that I can acquire any items that still need to be purchased (i.e. freshly baked items) on the 30th.

Random Giveaway
There will be 6 randomly selected surprise giveaways. Because I am more secretive about them to those who have never participated, including not publishing about them here, it increases the odds of all who decide to participate by lowering the participation rates vs. if I shared about them here.
Presents Selection
The below items are where my former closed clients located in SE VA are able to select an option. The presents below do not include extra smaller items including but not limited to a bottle of sparkling cider for each family participating.
Items below are one pack/unit unless stated otherwise. Some items are already purchased and in limited quantities. If some are already claimed, they will be updated on this page, but not immediately. Because of that and the possibility that some unpurchased items may be sold out, it's best to provide an alternate selection in the event that your item requested is no longer available.
Sweets:
(1 of 3) Bag of Ghirardelli Premium Chocolate Assortments (23.8 oz - 2 claimed so far)
(1 of 2) Box Lindt Signature Collections of Assorted Chocolates (13.4 oz - 1 claimed so far)
(1 of 2) Box of Godiva Prestige Biscuits Collection: Dark Chocolate (10.5 oz - 1 claimed so far)
(1 of 2) Popcornopolis Zebra Popcorn with Chocolate (24 oz)
Assorted Alternatives:
Canned Meats: Wild Albacore Tuna (30 oz) or Wild Boneless & Skinless Salmon (36 oz)
Dried Fruits: Apricots (40 oz) or Organic Pitted Dates (40 oz)
(1 of 1) La Dolce Vita Classic Almond Biscotti (40 oz)
(1 of 1 already claimed) Starbucks French Roast Whole Bean: Dark (40 oz)
Tea Can (240 English Breakfast Tea Bags) (1 of 2) 64 oz Pomegranate Juice (1 claimed so far)
Freshly Made Items: 58 oz Pumpkin Pie if still available on Dec 30
44 ct Assorted Holiday Cookies
72 oz Cheesecake
64 oz Cinnamon Butter Swirl Streusel Cake
Details for Participation
For the randomly selected giveaways, those who win won't know until their participation (in person or over Zoom, whichever applies to them) on the giveaway date. If someone RSVPs, but doesn't actually participate in person or over Zoom on the day of the giveaway, if they were one of the winners, their prize will be given to someone else randomly selected who participated who didn't receive a prize. For those who had planned to come in person, the base present that they chose and the smaller items will still be available for them to pick up in Newport News at the GRP office, Williamsburg office, Norfolk office, or by separate arrangement when Adam is closer to them if they are >45 minutes from any of those.
In some cases, extenuating circumstances can limit someone from participating on the day of that can be excused at times. For instance, in 2022 one participant was in the hospital recently and celebrated Christmas for the first time with their family shortly following quarantine on the day of the giveaway. They of course were excused from day of participation.
There are specific guidelines for the top tiers of the randomized giveaways that are provided to those who have won.
I hope that you all have a very merry Christmas if you celebrate and a happy New Year!
