How to redeem it
1. Visit your local Michaels store on Black Friday, November 27, or shortly after. 2. Make a purchase or proceed to checkout (no minimum purchase required). 3. Ask for a free Countdown to Craftsmas advent calendar at checkout. Note: Only 500 calendars are available per store, so arrive early. 4. Open one door each day from December 1-25 to reveal crafts, tips, offers, and in-store events. Some calendars contain prize doors: one per store holds a $100 Michaels gift card, and one customer will win a $10,000 grand prize.

What FreebieAgent noticed
This is a legitimate instant-win promotion from Michaels, a major US craft retailer, paired with their Black Friday event. The catch is real: only 500 calendars per store means availability is tight on opening day. The calendar itself is genuinely useful (25 screen-free holiday projects with QR code tutorials), so even if you don't win the gift card, you get a functional product. The $10,000 grand prize is a true sweepstakes element, so odds of winning that are long, but the $100 gift card instant-win per store means someone will definitely score. Michaels is reputable and this press release confirms the offer is live.
