May The Best/Worst Suitcase Win! Let The Voting Begin!
Thanks to everyone who sent in pictures of their suitcase for the Briggs & Riley Torq giveaway. There were a ton of great entries and it was very hard to choose the finalists. Here’s a quick breakdown on how I’m going to give away the suitcase (and don’t forget, your vote can also win you a $50 Amazon gift card):
- The pictures of the finalist’s suitcases will be listed below with a brief description and a number.
- The suitcase entry that gets the most votes between now and 11:59 pm EDT on Saturday, June 1st wins the Torq suitcase!
- One vote per person, but you can encourage as many friends, family, random strangers to vote for your entry to put you over the top.
Now, for the $50 Amazon gift card.
All you have to do is cast a vote, then leave a comment in this thread about which one you voted for. I’ll select one winner at random and award them $50 in Amazon cash. Let the voting begin:
Entry #1: Harlan’s slightly sad carry-on.
Entry #2: Alice’s wheels just ran out of go power.
Entry #3: Ryan’s well-traveled, well-stickered suitcase. Gotta admit, the Milepoint tags gave him a bit of an edge here!
Entry #4: Nancy’s dog claiming rights to her suitcase. FWIW, pets on suitcases was by far the biggest theme of the entries. Tons of cute cats and dogs. Too many to choose from, I had to have Mrs. Pizza select the finalist.
Entry #5: Mike’s wife hiding in his suitcase. I couldn’t resist making this a finalist.
Entry #6: Graham’s old leather suitcase. Couldn’t resist throwing in one oldie in the bunch.
Entry #7: Snoopy’s too cute not to be included.
So, there you have it. 7 finalists. Cast your vote to help your favorite win the Briggs & Riley Torq suitcase. And, don’t forget to leave a comment on this post (not in the poll) for your chance to win a $50 Amazon gift card.
Good luck, everyone!
I voted for Mike’s wife/stowaway
Is Mike’s wife that bad to travel next-to?
I voted for the old leather suitcase, it has been awhile since I saw one of these.
Somebody needs to tell Graham that its not 1930 anymore. He gets my vote.
I voted for the old leather suitcase…I think its older then me
Voted for six only because the Snoopy one should travel with its owner forever because it must get a lot of smiles!!
I voted for Alice’s flat wheels. She must be flying through the airports!
She is!
Alice is always on the go, and her bag just couldn’t keep up with her!
Maddie and Pam, it’s an awesome wheel.
Entry #2 – Alice deserves to have wheels that go, because she clearly goes places!
If I win, I’ll give the luggage to Alice! 🙂
LOL! Thanks! 🙂
Voted for Ryan, purely because of the fact I made that Milepoint KLT sticker! 😉
And a damn good sticker it is, Will.
Is this the same Graham we all know and lo – tolerate? Isn’t it said that people start to resemble their luggage the more time they spend together?
Voted for Ryan’s…..I would love to hear some stories of the adventures it has been through….you know, if suitcases could talk and all……
Just voted for Ryan’s too. It’s all about that sticker!
Number 3 for me!
Alice’s wheels just ran out of go power. I mean, jeez — how often to you hafta fly to actually WEAR DOWN THE WHEELS!!!
Does Graham really need a new suitcase? This one looks serviceable.
You know it’s served you well when the wheels go flat – Alice needs a new carry-on!
I want to hear some of the stories from Graham’s grandfather ‘s suitcase — it’s got my vote
Voted for Ryan. Sucker for Milepoint
Carl, me too. 😛
Looks like its seen better days. You might just need a new one.
Graham needs a new suitcase for his second trip around the world; he’s got my vote.
SNOOPY!!!!!!
Never could resist Snoopy!
Ryan gets my vote. MilePoint power all the way!
I voted for Mike’s wife. That’s so cute! I don’t know of she’s trying to stowe away or is preventing Mike from packing so he can’t leave!
Mark, good question. I hadn’t considered she might be trying to keep him home. Don’t tell my wife. She might resort to this strategy to keep me home.
I voted for Mike’s wife because obviously Mike needs a suitcase – one for his stuff because the other is preoccupied with his wife!
I vote for Mike’s wife. Poor thing, you think he could buy her a ticket!
Lisa, my wife would shove me in the suitcase.
Mike’s wife gets my vote. If she’s going to travel in a suitcase, she needs an upgrade.
Mike’s wife – she deserves to win
Cast a vote for the castaway – Mike’s wife.
Most of these are cute in some way. Did anyone check if Mike’s wife was still breathing? Graham’s bag however was the class of the field. Old, worn, and tired, it still looked ready to do service if called upon. Where to Graham, Budapest?, Prague? That bag is too cool for a trip to Des Moines.
careful – Des Moines is a cool place and one of these finalist likes it a lot!
def voted for the one with all of the stickers!
I had to vote for the adorable dog who looks like he doesn’t want to get left behind.
I vote for Alice – the purple bag was the first of 2 bags that died a valiant death recently. She is always traveling and needs a great bag that can keep up with her.
Some interesting choice in finalists.
Ryan’s suitcase looks like it has more miles on it ;), so I voted for him. Alice’s wheels would get my 2nd vote for the effort it must have taken to drag that around!
Snoopy!
any wife willing to go WITH her husband on a business trip deserves my vote!
I voted for Mike Entry #5 … obviously Amy just can’t bear to be without him!
I voted for Ryan. Good selection of stickers!
Looks like one my grandfather had , too
I vote for Graham – they dont make them like they used to do –
real leather was it ?
My vote goes to Graham’s case – Did you really use this ’til recently?
Great antique ?
Voting for Graham suitcase – Entry #6 Had one myself, and it was a great bag !!
Vote graham
Love the style
Could have many more miles in its
travels ?
Entry #6 Graham s classic case gets my vote
Wow It’s clearly Graham for me — his bag has style guys
Voted for the one with all the stickers.
I am voting for Alice and maybe she can win and be powered up with new wheels for safe, happy, and adventurous travel.
I voted for Graham. That looks like one well traveled bag!
Ryan’s bag has been well traveled and has earned retirement.
Graham’s bag has the best character – I vote for entry # 6 –Go Graham

Elena, Snoopy did tug at my heart, too!

voted for # 6 – graham should retire his case – IMHO he deserves a new one
Daraius, it looks like a suitcase with a lot of history, but I agree. Probably should be retired.
Graham looks as if he always needed a new suitcase
Having walked far too many terminals with a strap cutting into my shoulder, I think Harlan needs wheels.
Graham’s bag has my vote.
The stickers on Ryan’s bag grabbed my attention
Snoopy it is!
rather biased…voted for Ryan
That’s what mom is supposed to do. 🙂
…. Mike’s got my vote ~ great idea to pack his wife rather than buy her a ticket!!!!! LoL
Mike’s wife must be a mail order bride… Is that how they send them nowadays? Must be saving a ton of money on shipping costs.
Love Mike’s with the stowaway!
I voted for Ryan’s well traveled suitcase. It has seen the world and that’s a great reason already!!
I voted for Alice’s wheels.
Graham’s …… but I think they were called a valise in those days.
That is loyalty and dedication for a wife to possibly fly baggage class instead of coach. She gets my vote, too, for best spouse and travel partner
I voted for Ryan’s…that guy REALLY needs a new suitcase….:)
Graham’s for me Number 6 is my lucky number too
Its got to be Graham s valise, bag,case or suitcase Vote for character not labels
voted for graham – should be the winner
IMHO graham s must be the most traveled bag -gave him my vote
