marking blogging landmarks

Hokay, so. As of 3 pm Sunday, I am 10 people away from 100 subscribers (via the follow button, not via Google Reader), and I want to do something HEROIC and HUGE and CELEBRATE. Something monumental and life changing.  Something that will make your life GO CRAZY.  Something like a giveaway.  (Same same, yes?)

This almost-to-100 subscribers thing super excites me. In just seven short months, I feel like I've created a happy little space of the internet and I want to share with more and more people! I'm amazed that even 90 people want to hear more about my oh-so-average married life with Topher, and get giggles in my tummy when I think about hitting 100. And yes, I fully recognize that 100 followers is ever so unexciting to many fellow bloggers who have hit quadruple digit and more followers, but for me, it's like PIZZAZ WOW FOURTH OF JULY FIREWORKS COMING OUT MY BOOBS LIKE I'M KATY PERRY awesome.

Slight problem that worries me and causes me to pause. I have nothing to giveaway. I would happily fork over 30 bucks for one of you whom I secretly-adore-from-afar-via-the-webs, but I have no clue what would be most desired.

So, I've come to you. What should I giveaway to mark this fantastic blogging landmark? An Amazon gift card? Visa gift card? Or I could even bake up three of the chosen one's goodies from a list of ten or so and mail it off to you.

What say you? Dumb? Boob fireworks worthy? Thoughts on what you'd want to win?

ETA: 104, just 24 hours later! You all rock. Get excited for giveaway coming Wednesday!

    Make that 91 ;) But only because of your hilarious and totally awesome Katy Perry boob fireworks.

    I think something that you personally have and like or that you made would be the most fun. I've only won one giveaway before, a Veggie Chopper from Jenna/ThatWife/Avocado. But I think of her whenver I use it because it was something she chose to give away because she used it herself and liked it so much. Just my two cents.

    Dude, I wasn't subscribed for some reason! Now you're one person closer! :) and I had to laugh at Katy Perry's firework-shooting-boobs (I thought that was hysterical the first time I saw it). <3

    you're a few more closer now! i always forget to follow publicly, since i read through google reader at work (shhhh....)

    i think you should giveaway something that YOU love, those are always my favorite giveaways, because it means something to the blogger. and, i'd love to win any sort of baked good! :)

    I'm sure readers would love anything you'd like to giveaway. How about giving away one of your "favorite things" so you can share your love of it?

    part of the fun of the giveaways for me is to see giveaways of the bloggers favorite things. I think you should pick something you love (to eat, use, do)
    and ps. you have over 350 subscribers in google reader!

    It's definitely boob firework-worthy!

    Some of the more popular giveaways are Starbucks cards and Etsy creations but your followers will love whatever you choose. Promise! :)

    Hi Kate! I'm another one who's been following you on google reader for a while (actually found you on weddingbee) and I just added you with the follow button. Maybe you'll make 100 followers tonight!
