Kind NJ residents are getting a free gift for the holidays by doing this

If potentially saving a life isn't enough incentive, maybe a cool new pair of socks will motivate you to donate blood this holiday season.

While supplies last, the American Red Cross is giving out socks featuring the holiday film "Elf" to folks who donate blood or platelets through the end of November.

The promotion celebrates the 20th anniversary of the film starring Will Ferrell, and aims to get more folks in the door during a time of year when donations tend to decline.

"We're hoping that they make it a favorite holiday tradition, just like the movie," said Diane Concannon, communications director for the New Jersey region of the American Red Cross.

All blood types are needed, Concannon said.

In New Jersey, you must be at least 17 years old (or 16 with parental consent), weigh at least 110 pounds, and be in generally good health.

Below is a list of the American Red Cross blood drives that are scheduled through the end of November, when the promotion ends. Individuals who can't make it to an event may have an easier time making it to one of the organization's blood centers, located in Princeton, Pennsauken, and Fairfield.
