Image submissions. Photos, artwork, screenshots. Other things?
Remember Tom Hanks in “Castaway”? Remember Wilson the volleyball? Well, we’re all going through something similar now. We’re alone and WE ARE LOSING OUR MINDS. We’ve started talking to household objects. We’ve started dressing them up and giving them names. Show us your new quarantine friend.
It’s so frustrating when you misplace things around the house. There’s only one solution: Make a backup! Crochet or knit an EXACT replica of a treasured household item (such as the TV remote, your car keys, a favorite photograph, etc) that you’d rather not lose track of. It may NOT be a fabric item (such as a sock) and you must show us the yarn replica and the original together in a single image.
Children have massive imaginations, so let’s give them the real estate to build a magical realm. Construct a castle out of popsicle sticks, cardboard, cards, or other (preferably recycled) materials and have them pose, dressed as their fantasy character, next to their new land acquisition.
One of the best things about family is the way they accept you as you are (mostly), because of the threads that connect you. Prove it: videoconference with your entire family (extended or chosen family is welcome). Everyone must be wearing the ugliest shirt or sweater they have – the more outrageous the better. Send us your family group photo.
SIDE-BY-SIDE. What’s something you’ve always wished you could do, but never bothered to learn that your grandparent knows how to do? Can your grandfather crochet? Can your grandmother bake bread? Have a facetime call with him or her and have them teach you this skill. Screengrab your conversation and the finished product in two side-by-side images.

Options:
IMAGE. Create & post a MISSING poster for Mrs. Smith’s Cat and hang it prominently in your house.
VIDEO. Despite what Donald Trump would tell you, LAUGHTER, not sunlight, is the best medicine. Tell us your best 15-second, family-friendly joke & post it tagging @RobBenedict & @dicksp8jr & #GISH.
IMAGE. Craft your own talisman for chillaxation.
IMAGE. Figure out what Misha’s REAL first job was… & provide “evidence.”
IMAGE. Draw a gallery-worthy portrait of a bug in the style of the Renaissance masters. (Or at least, a “refrigerator worthy” one.)
VIDEO. Join us at 8 PM to globally scream out our frustrations with our resident #GISH werewolf-therapist. (You should be dressed as a werewolf, but non-lycanthropes are welcome, too.) Then submit a photo or video of your global howl- or if you missed it, send us your best lone wolf howl.”
Create a wreath out of menstrual products still in their wrappings (don’t open them or damage them!) and other necessities and deliver it to a domestic violence or homeless shelter.

Misfit Toys are all the rage, and you’ve got the hottest toy out there this year. Package a loved one in toy packaging complete with a bow and ribbons and place them under the tree or on a store shelf. Your “toy box” or label should indicate what makes that person inside unique and wonderful.

“It’s not such a bad little tree… It just needs a little love.” Find the smallest, saddest little tree in a local forest or park and decorate it with 100% organic, animal-friendly consumable materials to make it a holiday tree worthy of the woodland creatures. Make sure you leave edible packages under the tree for ground-dwelling animals in need of food. But be safe, clever and kind- make sure you’re ONLY using things the animals can safely eat or use and won’t get hurt by or tangled up in!

If you ever stop to listen to the lyrics of Frosty the Snowman, it’s clear he’s a wanted fugitive. The proof: there’s a most-wanted poster of Frosty hanging in your local police department’s office.
Thanks MVPD for being on the lookout for this long-sought-after criminal! #GISHMAS #item8 pic.twitter.com/BEHkd5qMJD
