Givedaddys Giveaway Blog

Some of you know I write a marketing blog called The Marketing Eggspert on Sparkplugging.com. This week I reviewed and am giving away Allison Maslan’s amazing book called Blast Off! The Surefire Success Plan to Launch Your Dreams into Reality.

I highly, highly recommend the book if there is any area of your life you want to see change for the better.

Go to my site now and enter to win a copy of this book. Contest ends Friday January 29.

GiveDaddySaur weighs in on his favorite products.

We’ve worked with some great companies in the past few months. And reviewing body wash, lotion, toys, clothes and food is our favorite thing to do!

Here are a few of our favorite products we’ve given away. It’s not all of them, but these we’d definitely buy, and you should too.

1. True Lemon. We love natural products and True Lemon is 100% natural and 100% tasty! They’ve got a new lemonade product out that’s killer.

2. Tree Hut. Their lotions are earth and people friendly and smell good enough to eat. But they’re not. Trust us. Please.

3. Chef’s Requested Steaks. We dinos love steak and these steaks are tender and tasty.

4. Karma Organic Spa Nail Polish. The human reviewer, Susan, loves this nail polish because it doesn’t have formaldehyde and it lasts and lasts.

5. Smarty Crafts. Both Junior and Max the Human love Smarty Crafts, and all parents love their kids being occupied with something crafty.

6. Eyes Lips Face. The human, Susan, enjoyed putting this face paint on. She said the products are vibrant and long lasting, and she loves trying different color combinations. Dinosaurs don’t wear makeup, so I don’t get it.

We’ve got tons of other favorites, and some new favorites to come in the next few months. Stay tuned to see what we’ll be reviewing and giving away next!

GiveDaddy. RAWRR!

So you’ve seen the little dinosaur lurking about GiveDaddy, but you’re not really sure who’s behind the site. Well, we’d like you to get to know us, so we wrote this post.

I am DaddySaur. I founded this site. I love getting free stuff myself, but find my claws often tear through the packaging and I destroy whatever it is. So I founded GiveDaddy so you could get free stuff (just trim your nails).

A little about me

I’m a T-Rex. But I’m a converted killer. I once rampaged my neighborhood, tearing heads off my neighbors, until the cops came. My wife didn’t like that, so I’ve learned to eat (slightly) cooked meat from the store. It’s a daily struggle, but I find keeping the peace more important.

I’m well educated. I have 14 degrees from various online universities. I find that attending courses in person tends to cause a ruckus. I prefer to study in my bunny slippers.

What else? I enjoy the occasional pipe smoke. In my youth I was quite popular with the ladies, but am now a devoted family man. I love to watch ice skating, and I cry in any movie with Kate Hudson in it.

MommySaur

My wife is the sweetest, gentlest dino you’ll ever meet. It’s no surprise she’s a brontosaurus. She’s a vegetarian, which makes dinnertime a challenge, but I’d cook anything for her. Even tofu (yech!). She was a rocket scientist (yes, that’s a real profession) but it became difficult for her to use her front legs for long periods of time, since she normally stands on them, so she quit to start her own pet snack business from home.

MommySaur is a feminist and regularly speaks out about female issues (she prefers the word “female” to “woman” since woman denotes human. She believes female issues are universal, no matter what the species.)

Junior

When Junior was born, I was hoping to have another T-Rex in the family. As you can see, he doesn’t look much like me. Heh! What he lacks in terror skills he makes up in enthusiasm. I’m working with him on his roar. My roar is known throughout the land. RAAWWWWR! Back to Junior.

Junior loves nature. I often find him frolicking with the butterflies when he’s supposed to be attacking them. He doesn’t like red meat (yet) but I know he’ll come around. After all, he’s a GiveDaddy Dinosaur!

Ptery

What family would be complete without the house pet? We chose a pterydactyl because they can fly. Except…Ptery’s scared of heights.  I tried to ship him back to the online pet store but Mother would let me.

He’s a loyal pet. He loves Mother’s pet snacks…and hamsters. Don’t leave yours alone with him. He and Junior are best friends. In fact, he’s Junior’s only friend. Hmm…

Anyway, that’s a bit about us. I am so glad you visit our site and enter our giveaways. We’ve got great prizes coming up, so come back often and bring friends. As for me, I’m wondering if I can sneak this steak out of the fridge and eat it raw before Mother comes home…

Sorry to disappoint! This isn’t a giveaway, but an announcement. True Lemon, one of our giveaway sponsors, will be sponsoring Susan to attend the Type A Mom Con this weekend. Here’s more. And don’t miss your chance to win a big prize from True Lemon on Saturday!
