Well...this post officially starts the 12 Days of Christmas and I couldn't be more ready for it. Let's start off big.
Please note that the email to use for the 12 Days of Christmas giveaways is tfmcontests@gmail.com.
COSTA SUNGLASSES
A few years ago it wouldn't have made sense to drop big money on a pair of polarized sunglasses. I had a few pairs of low end on the counter at the fly shop shades that worked fine. It wasn't until I tried a pair of Costa 580G lenses did it all come into complete focus and I realized how much better you can see on the water with these glasses. I'll still say $150-300 is a lot to spend on a pair of sunglasses but you won't catch me out of the house, especially on the water, without a pair of Costa's.
Lately I've been wearing a pair of the Corbina's with the new 580P Sunrise lens and I am beyond impressed. These are a great low light and gray day lens where high contrast helps see things that you likely wouldn't at the start or end of the day on the water.
Two tips in figuring out which Costa sunglasses are best for you is to first find out which frame size fits your face best. Once know that you can use the Costa website to filter search results just for that frame size. Second, take some time and use the Perform page to help figure which lens color will work for the type of water you are on most or to be ready for an upcoming trip.
YETI COOLERS
Over the past couple years the YETI Coolers Roadie 20 has become a near constant companion on fly fishing trips, river trips in the kayaks, tailgating, week long road trips, the drive-in movie, picnics, and even "bootlegging" frozen pies from Michigan to South Carolina on a sixteen hour drive straight through trip this past summer.
In short these coolers do exactly as their ad slogan says..."Keep Ice Longer!".
YETI Coolers are no doubt an investment but in the end they will save you on ice, are built to last, and with fourteen different models available there is one (or two...or three) offered in just the size you need.
THE GIVEAWAY:
In play for today is a promo card from Costa for a free pair of sunglasses of your choice and a YETI Coolers Roadie 20 (white or tan) with the T.F.M. logo inked on top.
Two winners will be drawn tomorrow morning.

RFMcD...it is kind of unreal to see the response. A lot of credit goes to the social media machines of both Costa and YETI Coolers for getting the word out.
So do we enter every day? The website says winners notified tonight...are there winners every day? Thanks for the opportunity.
Robert...check the rules which are listed in each of the 12 Days of Christmas posts.
You must email every day to play.
Winners are listed the next day at the bottom of the post. So the Costa/YETI giveaway occurred on Monday and then winners were announced Tuesday and their names were listed at the bottom of the post. Winners are also contacted by email to notify them that they have won. They are also announced on the TFM Facebook and Twitter pages.
There are new winners for every day of the 12 Days of Christmas gear giveaways.
