Supply Kit

The AMOE Supply Kit

Every sweepstakes site has to offer a free, mail-in way to enter — no purchase necessary. If you plan to use it, a few inexpensive supplies make the routine fast and painless: legible pens, the right index cards, and envelopes you can seal and send in batches. Setting up a small kit once means you're not scrambling for materials every time you mail an entry. Here's what we keep on hand and actually use.
