This week we celebrated Veteran's Day by releasing a Freaker for every state, with the exception of Iowa and Nebraska, who were assigned the same design. And let me tell you: Hell hath no fury like an Iowan sharing a corn husk Freaker with Nebraska. So here is our public service announcement: You win, Iowa. Not only do you have an amazing Iowa Freaker on the way, but rest easy tonight knowing that your Iowan kinfolk are fighting for your Freaker rights like Canada is about to invade. There's no place like home, dingdongs. And also Iowa. WHAT YOU'RE WINNING: We have five care packages this week featuring gift codes for The Home T! Once upon a time, a southerner moved to New York City. The lack of rocking chairs, BBQ, and southern twang left a hole in his heart in the exact shape of North Carolina, and thus The Home T was born. Softer than soft and made proudly in the USA, The Home T has a shirt for all 50 states (yes, even Iowa) because no matter where your home is, there's no place like it. Each winner gets a $30 gift certificate for a Home T and a state Freaker of their choice!! HOW TO ENTER: Get on Instagram, give The Home T a follow, and show us why there's no place like your home state with the hashtag #FreakerHome for your chance to win!

Traveling is one of life’s greatest treats. The quirks of the world never cease to amaze, but it’s not only the destination that makes traveling such a treasure - the journey is often the most eccentric part. We’ve all had some strange adventures (I mean, we lived in a traveling boxtruck for 4 months) and while there are endless perks to a nomadic period, one of the biggest and brightest bonuses is the fanny pack. You know what I'm talking about. The glorious, glorious fanny pack. WHAT YOU'RE WINNING: We have 5 care packages this week featuring handmade fanny packs from Avenue Dee!! Avenue Dee started once upon a time when the dearest Deeana caught the travel bug. She made herself a fannypack for her adventures and soon enough, friends, family, and beyond were wanting one to call their own. Now Avenue Dee supplies adventure seekers and wander lusters and "LOOK MOM, NO HANDS!" enthusiasts with colorful fanny packs for their journeys, big and small. Fun meets function... with a side order of awesome. Bring the fanny pack back? Oh, it's been broughten. Each winner gets a handmade fanny pack, a Baberaham Lincoln and a Mt. Crushmore Freaker! HOW TO ENTER: Get on Facebook, find this graphic, and let us know the most interesting place on your travel bucket-list for a chance to win! Words and / or photos both apply!!!

Before the internet age, it was only politicians that had strange details about them recorded indefinitely. Here are some of the greats from some of the greats: George Washington loved his pets. Some of his favorites included dogs named Drunkard, Tipsy, Vulcan and Sweetlips. SWEETLIPS.  Thomas Jefferson's wine cellar was 17 ½ feet long, 15 feet wide, and 10 feet high. Tommyboy really really really liked wine. Theodore Roosevelt was shot during a speech in Milwaukee. "I don’t know whether you fully understand that I have just been shot," he told the audience. "I give you my word, I do not care a rap about being shot; not a rap." He finished his 90 minute speech with bullet lodged in his chest. Not giving a rap. Like a boss. Abraham Lincoln once gave us this wisdom: "No matter how much cats fight, there always seems to be plenty of kittens." And with that, you have the glory of Mt. Rushmore. Happy Election Day, America! Ladies & Gentlemen, please give a warm welcome to the newest member of the Freaker Family... Mt. Crushmore!
