Every Thursday, we pick out one of the cool things from the Kim & Jason Lemonade Stand and give it away. Yep, for free.

This week’s prize is a My Cube Is My Castle Mug. It may only be 3 square feet of workspace, but it’s your 3 square feet of workspace!
Let your co-workers know that your cube is your castle with this mug. Just because you work in tight quarters, doesn’t mean you can’t feel free and relaxed. And if others don’t get it, they’ve never felt the luxury of working in a cube.

Here’s how to enter:

  1. Just leave a comment on this post, answering this week’s question: “When you were a kid, where did you think the coolest place to work would be?”
  2. Deadline for entries is 11:59 pm CST on the day of the post. We’ll pick a winner from the list of comments on the following Friday.
  3. We’ll contact the winner by e-mail to find out where to send the prize.

Good luck! And don’t miss any of the other cool stuff for the young at heart at The Kim & Jason Lemonade Stand!

**UPDATE: This week’s winner was Rita A.:

The cookie factory. We had a factory close by to our home and you could smell the baking all the time. I always thought it would be great to watch the cookies be made and help put the sandwich creams together. Not to mention being an official product tester.

Even though this week’s contest is over, you can still buy your very own My Cube Is My Castle Mug at the Kim & Jason Lemonade Stand. And stay tuned next week for the next chance to win!

    **UPDATE: This week’s winner was Cubby:

    I might have felt the desire to build a large spaceship.  Of course, finding a way to irradiate the lego reactor core to propel the ship in space would have proven difficult.  They are still melting way before enough power is generated.  Becoming more like superman everyday, however, is diminishing the necessity for a spaceship.  Maybe I would have built a large city so I could leap buildings in a single bound.  Maybe a large bullet that I could run faster than (pretty easy if it is not fired out of a gun).  The possibilities are endless!

    Even though this week’s contest is over, you can still buy your very own Snack & Stack at the Kim & Jason Lemonade Stand. And stay tuned next week for the next chance to win!

More than 50 classics range from the tried-and-true Yankee Doodle Dandy Baked Macaroni and Cheese and quick to prepare specialties such as the yodel-worthy Alpine Macaroni with Appenzeller and Creme Fraiche to international specialties like Giuvetchi, a Greek dish of orzo in a cinnamon tomato sauce with lamb and kasseri, myzithra, and feta cheeses. There are even a few dessert versions like Falooda, a traditional Indian treat, this one using ricotta and sweet vermicelli, with cherries and a touch of cardamom. Recipes for side salads and soups help round out a balanced meal. Mac & cheese — it’ll always please.

    **UPDATE: This week’s winner was Judy:

    It’s got to be spaghetti!  You almost HAVE to play with it to eat it: the fork swirl, the full-length slurp, or cutting it in tiny little pieces.  And for the gross-of-heart, it can even resemble worms.

    This week’s prize is Quelf. Quite simply, Quelf is insanity in a box, and it is multi-award winning to boot. With this hilariously silly party game, you will have outrageous fun with your family and friends. Quelf will inspire you to use your creativity, wit and sense of humor in ways you’ve never imagined.

    As you move around the game board, as one of eight quirky characters, crazy things start to happen. Your friends start talking strangely. Your mom’s face is wrapped in toilet paper. Your dad is acting like Dracula. And you are reciting a poem about your armpits.

    Each game of Quelf is a new journey into wackiness. When the dust settles and someone crawls away the winner, you realize…you’ve never had this much fun playing a board game in your life!

    Quelf is for ages 12 & Up, 3-8 players, requires 60 minutes to play, and is perfect for family get-togethers, rainy day entertainment, teen parties, and youth groups.

    **UPDATE: This week’s winner was Becky Mochaface:

    I agree with another commenter. Best Thursday giveaway ever!

    I LOVE games. My boyfriend and I are always playing some sort of game. Honeymoon Spades, Scrabble, Five Crowns (kind of similar to gin rummy only way more fun). We also bring games with us to whatever get together we’re going to. Balderdash, Monopoly, Dominoes for Bones or 42, Catch Phrase, Clue, Apples to Apples.

    Growing up my favorite game was Clue. Probably because you had to use a little bit of logic to figure out the puzzle. Nowadays my favorite game is Apples to Apples, because it is ridiculously easy and is always SO MUCH FUN. When we get together with friends we know really well, we’re always on the floor laughing so hard.

    Even though this week’s contest is over, you can still buy your very own Quelf at the Kim & Jason Lemonade Stand. And stay tuned next week for the next chance to win!

    **UPDATE: This week’s winner was Eric:

    Baseball cards were our currency. You hung onto the good ones, traded the dupes, used them to build relationships, and to expand your knowledge of the universe. They were valuable enough to keep for the long term and yet cheap enough to put in the spokes of your bike.

    Even though this week’s contest is over, you can still buy your very own Gumball Bank at the Kim & Jason Lemonade Stand. And stay tuned next week for the next chance to win!

    I don’t have as much of a chance to play games as I’d like *sigh* - but I love playing Yahtzee - and you HAVE to yell “Yahtzee” at the top of your lungs when you get the Yahtzee! I’ve always just loved getting the numbers in the various slots and adding them up. (Yep, I work in the financial business now, too!) My sibs and I had to come up with 3 or 4 letter nicknames for each other since we all have the same initials. I’m “Min”, my sister is “Ace”, other sis is “Marv”, brother is “Bro”. (We weren’t always that creative!)

This piping hot slice of toast is pretty hard to miss on your desktop, so you’ll always be able to put your fingers on a buttery little self-stick note when you need one.

Toasted Notes comes with 5 handy pads in a nifty clamshell package.

    I would have to say it is a toss up between my “Easy” button or my magic 8 ball. My easy button is fun, but when it comes to hard decisions I consult the magic 8 ball. It has never steered me wrong!

    I don’t know if it’s exactly a gadget, but the sprayer on the kitchen sink lends itself to some awesome water fights. Also, if you tape the handle down with transparent tape after everyone else has gone to bed whoever uses the water first in the morning gets soaked.
