THE COOLEST CHRISTMAS GIFT OF 2016 COMES FROM… FARMER BOERTIE

“Hi Kiki, are you sitting? Is there anything breakable nearby? Keep an eye on your breathing, because I have great news for you…” Trust me, when you see these sentences pop up on your phone, your attention will definitely be caught. A vague press release? That could have happened too, but no. This was an email from a very sweet, attentive reader (hi Manon, here’s your moment of shine on Amayzine!). Manon apparently has the gift of discovering brilliant news. News that I immediately have to share with you.

Long story short: YOU CAN SOON BE THE OWNER OF BERTIE'S HOSTERNOKKE CAP. Look As I announced recently, I am working on The Great I'm-Going-On-Vacation-Plan. The weeks are flying by and on the 21st of November, I will really be in the… for yourself. Yes, seriously. I mean: everyone wants this iconic piece of fashion from 2016 in their closet, right? But of course not. There is only one real Hosternokke cap and it donates be Bertie. to Serious Request and the Red Cross, who are this year working on the silent killer: pneumonia. What a good person she is, huh. She just does it, that Bertie.

‘By the way, would that cap smell after sitting on Bertie's head sweating for 30 days on such an island?’

My favorite farmer is not the only one. Former Rob participant Dio also donates his ‘orange cap’ to the good cause. JayJay makes the flag of his base camp available and presenter Dennis Weening donates the original immunity totem pole from the trials. But anyway, one ear in, the other ear out, this is of course about the coveted Hosternokke cap, HELLO! By the way, would that cap smell after sitting on Bertie's head sweating for 30 days on such an island? It's still something to think about, hmm. Anyway, this is a collector’s item. You get it, I get it.

The price for this experienced Expedition Robinson-package? So far (you can still bid for three more days) the counter is at 100 euros. I suggest you make a good bid, because if I find it mediocre, I might just bid over it. That would be brilliant: unwrapping a package that’s under the tree and suddenly encountering Bertie's blue headgear. I tell you: already the coolest gift of 2016.

P.S.: Serious Request, the invoice for this ultimate promotional stunt will be coming your way soon, you understand that. And of course, you can also send a Christmas surprise to Pilotenstraat 23. Something with a cap or so. Preferably blue.
