Important Family Survey

For many years we have used Joc's term to describe a gift being given for no special reason. It is a word that has become famous not only in our family, but to our friends and coworkers. I believe it is high time that we decide, once and for all, how to spell it.
So every single member of the family should vote, with the majority winning: which spelling is correct to you? (It may help you to remember that Janna asked for a surprise, and then Joc asked for two prises. She was young and beet-faced back then...)
A. Twoprise
B. Too-prize
C. Two-prize
If you believe there is yet another spelling, let me know and it will be entered into the survey. Winners get nothing except the satisfaction of finally settling this family mystery!

Well, I guess my vote would be for twoprize, but I reserve the right to sometimes hyphenate it and sometimes not. :)

Hmm. but tooprize also looks nice. I just don't know!!!!!

Some debates are left unanswered. We need some mystery in our lives.

All right everybody clear the board .. this is mother and i think it should also be left in the mind of the person giving or receiving it. We could go as twoprize, meaning there are two gifts, or too, meaning can i have one too, the choice is up to you, but i am so glad the traditon of giving spontaneously has turned out so well.
all right all right i wimped out, but when i write out i go as too-prize, there, i blurted it out.
