**We're giving away a Prime Day grab bag loaded with over $800 of free tech 🎁**
Okay, so here is something genuinely awesome that just dropped — The Verge has launched this incredible sweepstakes where they're giving one lucky winner an absolutely massive Nomatic Travel Pack stuffed to the brim with well over **$800 worth of gear**. And I love what's clever about it: Cameron Faulkner (the Commerce Editor who covers deals and gaming hardware for them) explains that The Verge is basically perpetually testing new products in their New York City office, which means they've got an overflow closet full of cool stuff sitting around. Instead of just letting it collect dust or donate it off the top of my head without knowing what's actually inside), they're restoring order to that inventory by literally giving some away — and this isn't your typical sweepstakes with a couple earbuds slapped into a random box, it feels like we could be talking about real premium gear.
The timeline is also pretty well thought out for those of us who love getting ahead of the shopping madness: entries open at 10am ET on **June 4th** and run through exactly 10:00am ET on **June 30th**, so you've got plenty of time. What's even better is that it kicks off just before Amazon Prime Day, which starts Tuesday June 23rd (and lasts through the 26th), meaning this gives us a little preview event to build excitement ahead of what'll probably be another epic sale season in **Prime Day 2026**. You enter by simply filling out the fields — no purchase necessary — and once you're in, you automatically become subscribed to The Verge Shopping newsletter, which seems genuinely useful for keeping up with deals going forward. They'll randomly select a winner on June 30th and notify them via email. Open only to U.S. residents (including DC) of legal age with internet access — standard stuff but worth noting if you're abroad!
