Friendsgiving Giveaway Rules 2026
NO PURCHASE NECESSARY. A PURCHASE WILL NOT INCREASE YOUR CHANCES OF WINNING.
One winning entry. Two possum beanies: one for the entrant and one for the friend tagged in that entry.
1. Sponsor
Purnell, LLC, 101 E. Victoria Street, Suite A, Santa Barbara, CA 93101, United States. Questions: customerservice@purnellgear.com.
2. Eligibility
Open to legal residents of the 50 United States and District of Columbia who are at least 18 years old at entry. The tagged friend receiving the companion prize must meet the same eligibility requirements. Employees of Sponsor and its promotion agencies, and their immediate family and household members, are not eligible. Void where prohibited.
3. Entry period
Entries open when the original Friendsgiving Giveaway post is published on @purnellgear on November 14, 2026, and close November 20, 2026 at 11:59 p.m. Pacific Time. Sponsor's Instagram records determine the entry time. Entries outside this period are not eligible.
4. How to enter
Using your own Instagram account, follow @purnellgear, like the original Friendsgiving Giveaway post, and comment on that post tagging one friend. Each different friend tagged in a separate comment is one entry. There is no limit on the number of different friends you may tag. Repeating the same friend, tagging yourself, tagging non-person/business/spam accounts, automated entries, or entering through multiple accounts does not create additional valid entries. One person may use only one Instagram account to enter. No purchase, story share or email signup is required. The tagged friend need not follow, like or enter to receive the companion prize. Do not tag people in photographs in which they do not appear.
5. Prize
One prize bundle will be awarded: two Purnell New Zealand possum beanies, one for the selected entrant and one for the friend named in the selected comment. Each recipient may choose a possum beanie style and color available at fulfillment. The pictured colors are examples and are not reserved. Approximate retail value is $90 based on the pictured $45-per-beanie style; actual value may vary with the styles selected. Standard shipping to each recipient's eligible US address is included. No cash alternative or transfer is permitted. If a selected style becomes unavailable, the recipient may select another available possum beanie. Sponsor may substitute a prize of equal or greater value if necessary. Recipients are responsible for any applicable taxes.
6. Drawing, notification and announcement
On November 21, 2026, Sponsor will randomly select one comment from all eligible entries. Odds depend on the number of eligible entries. Each valid comment has an equal chance of selection. The selected entrant and the friend named in that comment each receive one beanie, subject to verification.
Sponsor will contact the selected entrant by Instagram direct message from @purnellgear only. The entrant must respond within 48 hours, and both recipients must confirm eligibility and provide fulfillment details. If the entry or either recipient is ineligible, cannot be verified, declines the prize, or does not respond within the required time, Sponsor may select an alternate entry. Sponsor plans to announce the selection on November 21; a final winner announcement may follow eligibility verification. No payment or credit-card information is required to claim a prize.
Sponsor will aim to ship promptly after both recipients confirm their selections and addresses. Delivery before Thanksgiving is not guaranteed.
7. Fair administration
Sponsor may disqualify fraudulent, automated, incomplete or otherwise ineligible entries. If circumstances outside Sponsor's reasonable control compromise the fairness or security of the promotion, Sponsor may suspend or cancel it and, where appropriate, draw from valid entries received before the interruption. Sponsor will not add retroactive entry requirements. Sponsor is not responsible for Instagram outages, missing comments or failed direct messages beyond its control. Sponsor's decisions concerning eligibility and administration are final, subject to applicable law.
8. Instagram acknowledgment and release
This promotion is not sponsored, endorsed or administered by, or associated with, Instagram. By entering, each entrant agrees to these rules and completely releases Instagram from responsibility and liability arising from this promotion, to the extent permitted by law. Information provided to administer the promotion is provided to Sponsor, not Instagram.
9. Privacy and winner information
Public entry comments and account handles will be used to administer the drawing. Contact and shipping information will be requested privately from verified recipients and used for verification and fulfillment. Entry does not subscribe anyone to marketing emails. See our Privacy Policy. Sponsor may announce the winning Instagram handles after verification; it will not publish mailing addresses or other private fulfillment information. Winner information or a copy of these rules may be requested from customerservice@purnellgear.com by December 21, 2026.
