Number 1: This Instagram post from … well … me

Each year I get a few wooden promo boxes that, while they look very nice, are of limited use to me once the beer is removed. But the lid from a Crown Golden Ale promo kit really saved us this week. See, we’re babysitting a friend’s rabbits and we’re using an old hutch we had at home. After just four days the panels at the back rotted free. With the help of that Golden Ale lid and some nails, I was able to fix the thing. So cheers to you, CUB.
