Storytellers don't get enough credit. Have you ever watched a movie? Thank a storyteller. Read a book? That's an obvious one. Do you get your life wisdom from fairy tales? (Trick question. Who doesn't?) More than just pop culture though, the entire history of humanity depends on storytellers. The good, the bad, and the illest will all be remembered because somebody takes the time to write dat sheet down. The sheer depth and reach of storytelling is incredible! And the best part about it? Everybody has a story to tell. tl;dr? You're a hero, baby. Also, it's Friday. WHAT YOU'RE WINNING: We have 5 care packages this week featuring the unlimited charm of Ex Libris Anonymous! For the past 15 years, the fine folks at Ex Libris have been making one-of-a-kind journals from vintage books. Handmade in Portland, Oregon, Ex Libris journals are officially an office favorite. In fact, we're already fighting over who called dibs first on the off-chance that one of this week's winners doesn't claim their prize. So, please, for the sanity of all involved - win this and love this. Love this hard. Each winner also gets a Kim Jong Illest Freaker! HOW TO ENTER: They say a picture is worth a gazillion words? Let's prove it. Get on Instagram and show us a photo that definitely tells a story. Use the hashtag #FreakerLibris so we can find you! Winners announced in our Tuesday newsletter!

The age of the strange-bird dictator is arguably over (sorry Mugabe) but some legends will live forever. Today we want to celebrate the mystical life of one of recent history's darkest fairytales - one Supreme Leader to rule them all. Let's recap: -He invented the hamburger, drank $700,000 worth of cognac a year, and could control the weather with his mood. -He was born under a double rainbow and allegedly didn't use toilets. (Not beause he found a better way, but simply because Kim Jong Il allegedly didn't defecate.) -The first (and only) time he ever golfed, he hit 11 hole-in-ones and then immediately retired, breaking all world records by a longshot. -He loved platform shoes and deporting short people from the capital. -Remember that time he kidnapped 2 South Korean filmmakers and forced them to remake Godzilla into a North Korean propaganda monster movie? Aahhh, the good ol' days. Ladies and gentlemen, give a warm welcome to the newest member of the Freaker Family... Kim Jong Illest!

Our little company is headquartered in a quaint town on the coast of North Carolina. This week, we forced the entire office to take a vacation in the mountains on the other side of the state. (Oh, uh, sorry if customer service has been a little slow this week. 100% our bad.) The serenity of the Blue Ridge Mountains has been a good reminder of some easily-forgotten life lessons: Nature is awesome. Friends are important. It's good to shut up sometimes. WHAT YOU'RE WINNING: We have 8 care packages this week featuring cork gem wine stoppers from Bird + Beau! Kristin Austin is a true maker. She creates little emblems filled with charm that will make even the coldest of hearts hear the birds chirping. Even though Bird + Beau is primarily a jewelry company, Kristin makes gifts that add spunk to any situation. We're excited to announce that this week's Freaker Friday is the debut of her newest creation - recycled cork gem nugget wine stoppers! Hand cut and painted, Bird + Beau have out-cuted the cutest of the cutes with this one. Each winner also gets a Clyde Freaker! HOW TO ENTER: Get on Facebook, find this graphic, and let us know in the comment section what always makes you put a cork in it. (Feel free to interpret that whichever way you'd like!)

Let's all take a moment to take a deep breath and reflect on how A+ adorable the team is over at Coffee Sock Co. There is still time to submit your winning photo for this week's Freaker Friday contest featuring their DIY coldbrew coffee kits! Winners announced in tomorrow's newsletter!

  GUYS. It's the first day of spring! Get outside and celebrate! How? Let's count the ways. Some people like camping. Some people like skydiving. Some people like laying in a field and making flower-crowns for a prime-time selfie session. Some people like lying about enjoying hiking to impress potential mates. Some people meditate under trees. Some people chase cheese blocks by hurling themselves down a hill. Whichever way you enjoy the great outdoors, it's probably (definitely) more fun when you're awake. And we're here to help. WHAT YOU'RE WINNING: We have 9 care packages this week featuring cold brew coffee kits from CoffeeSock Co! Family owned and operated, CoffeeSock Co designs and hand-makes their products in Austin, Texas, and fills 2 voids that we have all felt: A.) the devastating early-morning moment when you realize you're out of coffee filters, and B.) the yearning desire for the glory of coldbrewed coffee! Their sustainable and reusable filters are made from organically grown, untreated cotton, for use in a variety of coffee systems. Chemex? Check. Hario? Check. Good ol' drip coffee? Check. Five winners will be getting a DIY ColdBrew Kit which includes a quart sized canning jar, CoffeeSock filter, and a bag of Barrett's Micro-roast ColdBrew Blend coffee - the other four will be getting a ColdBrew filter. Each winner also gets a Straight Outta Campton Freaker! HOW TO ENTER: Get on Instagram and show us how you enjoy the outdoors with the hashtag #FreakerCoffee for your chance to win! Winners announced in our Tuesday newsletter.
