Givedaddys Giveaway Blog

Congratulations to Kats9, winner of the Eco House Pack giveaway!

This week Givedaddy has a prize pack for that special little girl in your life! Thrill her with great prizes from our Girl’s Fun Prize Pack including:

• Friends 4 Ever Bracelet Kit
• Mad Gabs Lip Balm Kit
• Hoohobbers Gift Certificate
• Headband bows from Little Bow Peep Bowtique

Friends 4 Ever Bracelet Kit

The Alex Toys Friends 4 Ever Bracelet Kit from Growing Tree Toys allows kids to show the world that they are so important to each other that they share and wear their imaginative bracelet masterpieces everywhere they go! A super-stocked craft kit for best friends. Plus, this fabulous kit is the friendship kit that features a convenient, take-me-anywhere storage suitcase with handle for on-the-go fun that friends will love.

Kit Includes:

• 4 Color-coded looms
• 22 colors of floss
• Funky beads
• Beading needle

This kit is an 8-10 year old girl’s dream! I love that it’s all built into one kit so we don’t have to buy more parts. Your girl will need to be fairly dexterous (not one of those a 6 year old could master easily) to make the bracelets with the wheels. You can customize the bracelets with beads and different colors, and I was surprised at how much floss was included.

Mad Gabs Zoo Lip Balm and Lip Shimmers

Mad Gab’s is a group of fun, hardworking folks that have been making natural body care since 1991. From Maine to Japan, people have been enjoying Mad Gab’s lip balms for years.  Your mouth is guaranteed to reach its high point in happiness.

One lucky winner will receive the Zoo Lip Balm 4pk and 3 Bear Shimmers!

Mad Gab’s is my (Susan’s) new favorite product. I have somehow lost all my lip balm and hadn’t gotten around to buying more. Glad I waited. While each of the balms are a flavor, they don’t have a strong taste; more of the smell, like Citrus or Blueberry. I love love love the lip shimmers. You know how you sometimes need lip balm but are going out and want a little color? You can get it both with the shimmers. They have just enough color as well as moisture to achieve both goals.

I also love that Mad Gab’s is committed to using natural ingredients, minimal packaging and no animal testing. Right in line with what we love at GiveDaddy!

Follow Mad Gab’s on Facebook!

Hoohobbers Gift Certificate

Commited to designing and manufacturing award-winning products in America, Hoohobbers is known for making the only compact, portable line of children’s products that children themselves can carry and use…anywhere. Their products consists of hard goods, such as furniture items, and soft goods including fabric items such as pillows, lamp shades, etc.

Courtney reviewed the Munch Box soft lunch box.

“The Munch box is a versatile soft lunch box that can be used to hold a variety of things. The insulated interior makes it perfect for holding bottles of milk or refrigerated juice to bring with her for daycare instead of having it in a plastic bag or getting other items in her diaper bag wet from sweating. It’s a neat little tote for when she’s older to take her lunch to pre-school and can hold standard sized cans. (I have used it myself for cold drinks) What I really love is that it’s machine washable, so when it gets dirty I just toss it in the wash. The soft goods, such as the lunch boxes, pillows, etc can be embroidered for personalizing – another great feature for taking to school.”

The winner will receive a $30 gift certificate to Hoohobbers.

Little Bow Peep Bowtique

Our Givedaddy review editor, Courtney has an Etsy shop Little Bow Peep Bowtique, with girls’  headband bows and other accessories for infants and toddlers.  She makes all bows by hand and creates cute headband bows to dress up that little princess in your life.

The winner will receive two bows in their choice of color.

Fun kid’s prizes are just waiting to be won in this week’s giveaway!

Prizes like Scholastic Books are great for kids during the summer. Scholastic has wonderful books that kids love to read and what better way to occupy the kids during summer rather than tv and video games.

Your little ones can discover the exciting adventures of Max Spaniel in Funny Lunch or join Edward and Judy in Firehouse as they learn how to become firefighters! Show your kids how fun reading can be with these two great books from Scholastic.

This week’s giveaways ends June 27, so hurry on over and enter for a chance to win the books and other fun kid’s prizes in the Kid’s Fun Play Pack!

The kids are out of school for summer! You’re probably thinking of ideas to keep them busy instead of sitting in front of the tv all day. Givedaddy is giving you the chance to win some great kids prizes this week.

Encourage your child to love nature with a Tickle Me Plant!

The Tickle Me Plant is the plant that moves when you touch its branches. How neat is that! At Givedaddy we love being green and now your child can too. Tickle Me Plants give kids a positive experience growing plants and a fun adventure to watch their seeds as they grow.

Their products are also biodegradable and made of recycled materials which can be used over and over again.

Tickle Me Plant is fun for all ages so you’ll enjoy it too. It was chosen as the National Gardening Association’s Favorite Product.

Enter the Kid’s Fun Pack giveaway on Givedaddy for a chance to win along with other great prizes.

Congratulations to elsaodette, winner of the Family Vitamin Pack giveaway!

It’s summer time and that means the kids are out of school. Looking for ways to keep them entertained? Givedaddy has a few prizes in this week’s Kid’s Fun Prize Pack that they’ll love!

You could win these neat kid’s prizes:

• Tickle Me Plant
• Scholastic books
• Ant-O-Sphere

Tickle Me Plant

Have you ever seen a plant move its branches and leaves, when you tickle it? Grow your very own Tickle Me Plant and experience the joy of having a plant that moves when you touch it. Tickle Me Plants give children a positive experience growing plants and they grow beautiful pink flowers after several months.

 The winner will receive a 4 pack of Tickle Me Plant Seeds. We grew these and had a blast tickling them. They’d even close if you picked up the cup and moved it. Very sensitive! It’s so fun to do sciencey things with Max at his age (5). These are great for party favors or classroom activities.

Scholastic Books

Max Spaniel: Funny Lunch

David Catrow’s loveable spaniel is back! Readers will dine with delight as Chef Max serves up one hysterical meal after another at his very own diner. New readers will laugh-out-load as Max’s pizza pie special creates one wacky lunchtime.

Firehouse

Join Edward and his cousin Judy as they spend a hilarious day learning how to become firefighters. From a fire drill that leads to a slippery slide down a fire pole, to a hysterical battle with an out-of-control fire hose, Edward is in for an action-packed adventure. And when faced with a real emergency, can Edward save the day?

Max (my Max) is an avid reader these days (and reading all by himself, thank you very much). These books were engaging and fun to read together. I’ve long been a fan of Scholastic, so I’m glad they reached out to GiveDaddy so you can share them with your kids!

Ant- O – Sphere Starter Pod

A space-age ant colony, your child can observe his ants creating a colony in this cool habitat. Connectable, collectible sets let them build as big as their imagination will allow! The Ant-O-Sphere makes a great starter set or addition to the 8-pod set or Mayan Ant Invasion by International Playthings!

I totally handed this project over to my husband, lover of all things science related. I send him and Max off to find ants, and came back to find my antique record player covered with dirt! They collected a few ants, but no queen, so the experiment was a flop. Fortunately there are plenty of ants in our neighborhood, so they will try again. The kit is cool because you start with this pod and can add on to it, much like you would a hamster cage. One pod of ants is plenty for my household, thank you very much.

Prizes include:

• Ola Loa Drinkable Vitamins
• Yummi Bears
• VitaFusion Multi Vites

Ola Loa Drinkable Vitamins

Drink to your health with Ola Loa Drinkable Vitamins! Ola Loa is giving one lucky winner their variety pack.

I hate swallowing vitamins. So I rarely take them. Lately I’ve been into drinkable vitamins. Ola Loa’s drinkable vitamins taste like sweet tarts! I’m sold. I mix mine with water, but the company says people mix it with juice, V8, carbonated drinks and even alcohol (good way to justify drinking! “I’m getting my vitamins!”). Here are some other interesting tips:

• Ola Loa has 1/6th as much sugar as Emergen-C, and 20 more nutrients.
• You can take it on the go for easy access to your vitamins.
• I like to take mine when I feel like I’m getting sick. Then I don’t!

Yummi Bears

It’s not a surprise that kids resist most nutritious foods. Great News! Yummi Bears are the perfect solution because kids love the tasty fun and moms and dads appreciate the wholesome nutrition. And Yummi Bears are gluten, allergen and casein free!

Now Yummi Bears have the first and only organic vitamins! Yummi Bears Organics provides a nutritional solution for parents wanting gummy vitamins that are pure and made from organic ingredients that are GMO-Free!

Max has been taking these diligently every morning. He remembers better than me that he needs to take his vitamins! They’re fun and tasty, and they give him all the nutrition he needs.

The winner will receive Yummi Bears Multivitamins, Vitamin C, Vitamin D and from their new organic line Yummi Bears Organics Multivitamin and Organics Brain Boost!

VitaFusion Multi Vites

Enjoy your vitamins with the perfect blend of  taste and nutrition with VitaFusion. I (Susan) HATE remembering to swallow vitamins. They choke me. They taste bad. So I am all over adult gummy vitamins. They taste good (not too sweet and “kid”dy) and have all the vitamins and nutrients I need.

The winner will receive their MultiVites. These yummy gummy adult vitamins come in natural colors and flavors of Berry, Peach, and Orange. Each gummy is packed with an excellent source of antioxidant vitamins A & C. Get your essential nutrients in one tasty, gummy multivitamin to maintain good health.

Become a Facebook fan of Vitafusion.

Congratulations to Shannon717717, winner of our fun Kid’s Prize Pack giveaway!

In this week’s giveaway, we have a bundle of really great products to keep your baby healthy and happy in our Healthy Baby Prize Pack.

Prizes include:

• Episencial Gift Set: Sunscreen, Soothing Cream and Protective Face Balm
• A copy of Caring for Your Newborn
• Your choice of Ouchies Olivia or Trucktown Bandages
• HAPPYFAMILY line of organic baby food products

Episencial Skincare

My son has sensitive skin. If you look at it wrong, it’ll flare up. So when I (Susan) got to review Episencial’s skincare for babies and kids, I had my skeptical hat on. Nothing seems to work for him! But Episencial soothed his eczema and didn’t make him break out. Nice.

The Sunscreen goes on easily and doesn’t smell like the beach. I like that they have a separate Protective Face Balm that also has sunscreen, as I’m always leery of putting sunscreen on his face. After Max’s bath, I like to use the Soothing Cream, especially when his eczema is acting up. There’s no smell and it goes on smooth.

All Episencial products are made with organics and fruit extracts, and don’t have parabens or fragrances.  They’re good for your kids and the Earth! Plus they have Eric Carle’s Hungry Little Caterpillar on the bottles. Who can resist him?

Box of Ouchies

We love Ouchies at GiveDaddy! Even we dino parents wear them (see below)! They’ve got two new designs: Olivia and Trucktown. Make sure to tell us which one you want if you win!

Kids love them. I know Max is always looking for the teeniest boo boo so he can put a truck bandage on it.

Caring For Your Newborn

Whether it’s your first or your fourth baby, life with a newborn is an exciting yet challenging experience. Dr. Huff and Nicole Rawson-Huff have joined with a team of leading pediatric specialists to provide everything you’ll need to prepare and support you and your family as you make the huge leap from pregnancy to parenting in their new book Caring For Your Newborn.

Courtney reviewed the book:

This is a great book for any new parent. I really loved the chapter on Activities for Nurturing Your Baby’s Learning.  I’m always looking for productive ways to play and interact with my baby. The book provides the basics on questions and concerns among new parents. I also like that this book contains real parent stories, unlike other parenting books I have. It provides advice from parents from their first-hand experiences. There’s even a chapter just for dads!

HappyBaby Organic Baby Food

HAPPYBABY is committed to providing families with the healthiest, most optimal nutrition possible. Besides using the best organic ingredients, they also incorporate the best nature has to offer when it comes to added nutrition, like their sustainable source of DHA, pre and probiotics, and supergrains like Salba and Quinoa.

I trust my baby is getting a proper nutrition with organic baby food. I really liked the fresh frozen organic meals because it’s an easy way to offer my baby fresh organic food.  She liked the greens, which surprised me since she didn’t take too well to green beans when I first introduced them to her. I especially like the organic brown rice cereal, because it’s much healthier than other leading rice cereals and contains probiotics.  Overall I was very satisfied with the HappyFamily line of organic baby food and would recommend it to any parent.

The winner will receive:

2 free trial coupons for each of the following:

• HAPPYBABY
• HAPPYBELLIES
• HAPPYBABYPUFFS
• HAPPYMELTS
• HAPPYBITES

• 1 FAQ on Probiotics & DHA
• 1 Infant & Toddler Guide
• 1 HAPPYFAMILY Recipes
• 2 free trial coupons for YoBaby 4-packs

Congrats to brwndot, winner of the Yoga Retreat Prize Pack!

This week  we’re giving away some great products that your kids are sure to love. Keep your tiny tots entertained with these neat kid-friendly items.

The winner will receive:

• Yummy Dough
• Sprig Toys Garden Keeper Set
• $30 Toys-R-Us Gift Card

Yummy Dough Edible Play Dough

Yummy Dough is a multi-purpose toy! It’s a baking mix that cleverly combines two favorite childhood activities: creating designs with play dough and baking with mom. Mixed with water, the Yummy Dough powder turns into smooth, kneadable, easily shapeable dough which can be baked afterwards. Let your kids’ imaginations run wild molding the dough into creative figures as you bond together.

Max got to test it out and loved it. It starts as powder and you add water to moisten it (and it turns the powder a color). Play with it like any other dough…except you can eat it! I probably had more fun than he did making fun shapes. Bake it and it’s ready to eat.

Garden Keeper Set

The Garden Keeper set features flower pots, a seeded paper flower and a garden friend.  Support your local planet and grow wildflowers without worrying about chemicals that might leach from paint or plastics.  Sprig Toys are always safe for the environment and the little ones that occupy it.

$30 Toys-R-Us Gift Card

With this gift card you can get your little one exactly what he or she wants! Spend it in the store or online. Use it for a birthday present! Heck, we won’t tell if you use it for yourself to buy that Lego kit you’ve been eyeing!

If you’re on Twitter, share your Twitter ID with us. If you win, we’ll tweet it out and embarrass you! (c’mon you know you love the attention).
