Givedaddys Giveaway Blog

Congratulations to HollyGreen, winner of the myJones Soda giveaway! 

Today, in honor of Women’s History Month, the fine folks at Boiron are giving away their homeopathic medicine specifically for women.

Here are the prizes one lucky woman will receive:

Cyclease^® Cramp

Menstrual Cramps

Most women experience the aches and pains that go along with menstrual periods. Cramps can be uncomfortable nuisances or they can be sharp, dull, aching pains. Whatever your degree of pain from menstrual cramps, Cyclease Cramp can help. Free of caffeine, aspirin and ibuprofen, Cyclease Cramp safely relieves your menstrual cramp discomfort without drowsiness or jitters. Cyclease Cramp works best at the onset of symptoms, so keep it stocked in your medicine cabinet so you’re ready to relieve cramps before they start! 

Cyclease^® PMS

PMS Symptoms

One minute you’re as happy as can be. The next you’re crying at a made-for-TV movie. Then, before you know it, you’re angry at your husband for not taking out the trash. It’s no secret that PMS makes women irritable. But what can be done to get you through that rough week? Cyclease PMS helps relieve the discomfort, aches, bloating and irritability that come with PMS. Best of all, Cyclease PMS is all-natural and doesn’t interact with other medications. 

Yeastaway^®

Vaginal Yeast Infections

Nearly three out of four women contract vaginal yeast infections in their lifetime. Although these infections are uncomfortable, treatment is fairly easy. Yeastaway suppositories offer a complete formula to relieve the itching and burning associated with yeast infections, as well as to help heal irritations. Yeastaway works naturally to soothe and won’t cause additional discomfort during application.

Congratulations to spitfyr323, winner of the Karma Organic Spa giveaway!

I have long loved Jones Soda. Their flavors are interesting and they don’t use high fructose corn syrup (which GiveDaddy is allergic to). A few years ago at the BlogWorld Expo, I saw bottles of their soda with different speakers’ faces on them. What I didn’t know is that they sell custom soda under their line myJones Soda.

How cool is it to get your photo, your kid’s photo or your favorite dinosaur’s photo on your bottle? They make great gifts and keepsakes. Here’s a few ideas the site gives for how to use them:

• At weddings for special conversation starters
• Valentine’s Day gifts
• Birthdays
• Graduations
• Promotions, like for bands or brands
• Fundraisers
• Corporate events

We got to test drive the custom sodas, and made our own GiveDaddy Soda and we even got to customize a sentence on the back label. We got Strawberry Lime, which was really tasty. Check out what they looked like:

Personalize and Customize Jones Soda with your own Photos and Quotes!

Our winner will receive a 12 pack of customizable myJones Soda. We’ll put you in touch with the company so you can customize your own soda bottles! You can even order your custom bottles through an iPhone app! How cool is that?? Become a fan of Jones Soda on Facebook for the latest cool news.

Congratulations to lagean, winner of the Spread Heads giveaway!

Since I first tried out Karma Organic Spa’s organic nail polish and polish remover, I’ve fallen in love. The nail polish colors are bold and stay on (a big problem for me).

I love the remover because it smells good and doesn’t strip my nails of nutrients.

Their products don’t have formaldehyde or toxins, they’re better for the environment and they make your nails look and feel great! I’m sold.

So today we are giving away 2 bottles of nail polish (winner’s choice) and a bottle of nail remover (pick Lavender, Tea Tree, or Unscented). In your comment please tell us which two colors you would pick and which scent of remover. Good luck!

Congratulations to ecoofficegals, winner of the Seventh Generation giveaway! Clean with green!

Ya know how sometimes you’re not sure if something is “your color?” Well, Jill Kirsch, makeup guru extraordinaire, can tell you your colors just by looking at your hair color. She’s got a unique system of makeup and clothing matching based on haircolor. She’s helped celebrities look great and now she can help you! Today she’s giving away her On-the-Go Mini Makeup kit to one lucky winner.

Being a brunette, I got a chance to try out the Deep Brunettes kit. I was a bit surprised. In the past, I’ve gone with peachy and brown shades,  but this kit had bright pink blush and eyeshadow and gray and cool sparkly black eyeshadow. It instantly made me look rosy and young(er). See for yourself (a bit hard to see the eyeshadow).

(I was totally trying to take a horrible “before” photo. I don’t always look that bad).

I don’t like it to be obvious that I’m wearing makeup but it was easy to make a subtle blush of pink on my cheeks. The gray and black eyeshadow I’d wear at night. Easy to apply and the colors made my skin brighter.

Jill also has color swatches you can take shopping with you so you buy the colors that will make you look your best.

All of Jill’s eye shadow, blush, lipstick, lip shine and pencils are mineral based, fragrance free and not tested on animals. Each shade is selected to pull together your total look – starting with your hair color and extending into your wardrobe and make up – what you’re wearing brings out your face, brings out your hair. This sleek, hard case for your pocket or purse contains:

• 2 Powder Blushes
• 4 Powder Eye Shadows
• 2 Sided Applicator
• 1 Mini Blush Brush Complete with Mirror

Value: $49.50

So it’s your turn! In your comment tell us your haircolor so we can get the winner the right kit.

Congratulations to tammyjnim, winner of the Ola Loa giveaway! Drink to your health.

In the GiveDaddy family, we’re all about eco friendly solutions. We’ve long been fans of Seventh Generation, so it was exciting to review their Living Home Starter Kit.

This kit’s got everything you need to keep your kitchen, bathrooms and living area clean while being good for the environment. What we love is that Seventh Generation uses plant based cleaning agents rather than harsh ones that can be harmful to your kids and pets.

But how do they measure up, you ask. Yea, we were skeptical too the first time. But we have become trained to think that if something smells like bleach it does a better job of cleaning. Not so. The Natural Shower Cleaner did a great job of cutting through the dino scales in the shower, and the Kitchen Cleaner doesn’t require heavy scrubbing to get dried food off the counter. The citrus smell is light and not overwhelming at all.

You Can Be Green Too

Ok so you’re here to win a Living Home Starter Kit, which includes:

• Glass Cleaner – Grapefruit
• All-Purpose Cleaner – Green Mandarin
• Toilet Bowl Cleaner – Emerald
• Shower Cleaner – Green Mandarin
• Tub & Tile Cleaner
• Kitchen Cleaner
• (2) Natural Paper Towels – 120 Count
• Reusable Tote

Here’s what you need to do. First, visit Seventh Generation’s website and join the Seventh Generation Nation (in the middle of the page) by entering your email. Once you’re logged in, get your profile URL (mine is http://www.seventhgeneration/moonstar43) and put it in your comment so we can connect there.

Now that you’re a member, you can do cool things like check in on forums, ask Science Man a question, or get coupons. Pretty neat.

And don’t forget to give Seventh Generation love on Facebook and Twitter!

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).

How to enter:

1.  Register (if you haven’t already)

2.  Login (if you aren’t already logged in)

3.  Leave a comment with your Seventh Generation Nation profile.  Leaving multiple comments doesn’t increase your chances of winning, but we like you anyway.

Congrats to intrigue1, winner of the Smarty Crafts giveaway!

A big congrats to one4earth, our True Lemon Sweetheart Pack Giveaway Winner!

I hate swallowing vitamins. So I rarely take them. Lately I’ve been into drinkable vitamins. I’d tried several, but always found the taste at the end of the cup to be bitter. Then Ola Loa contacted us and invited us to try their drinkable multivitamins.

They taste like Sweet Tarts. I’m sold.

Ola Loa sent a variety pack for us to try, including;

I think the energy one gave me so much energy it kept me up one night! Each tastes great, and delivers all my vitamins in a cup. No swallowing horsepills! These are vitamins I enjoy taking.

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!

Ola Loa is giving away a box of their products to one lucky winner. But if you don’t win, visit their site and sign up for a free sample. You can also become a fan of their Facebook Page here.

Congratulations to MAY, winner of the Sesame Street Bath Products giveaway!

We love Tatutina for its customizable, lead-free painted items like menu boxes, bookends and recipe boxes. This month we’re reviewing the recipe boxes.

I’ve never owned a recipe box until now. I always tore out pages from a magazine or wrote a recipe on a piece of paper. NOW I feel organized! The Coffee Cup Recipe Box is bright and appealing. You can organize your recipes by meal, which is kind of different. I saw you can customize the boxes with a name, which would make a great gift.

Now for you! Visit the recipe box page and tell us which set you want to win. Tatutina has other adorable prizes that we’ll be giving away in future months so check out their site. And follow Tatutina on Facebook and Twitter!

Congratulations to ccomrie23, winner of the Ouchies giveaway!

Have you entered to win our True Lemon Sweetheart Pack for February? There are 10 chances to win.

You know that on GiveDaddy, we love all the products by The Village Company. Max especially loves all the kids products. This month, we review the new Baby Elmo line of bath products.

Okay, so Max isn’t a baby, but still. He loves Elmo and I love their products. So you can use them on 5 year olds too.

We got to test out the:

• Sesame Street Baby Elmo Shampoo
• Sesame Street Baby Elmo Wash & Shampoo 2-in-1
• Sesame Street Baby Elmo Bath
• Sesame Street Baby Elmo Lotion

The smell was really light but refreshing. Max has eczema, so sometimes heavily scented lotions make his skin break out, but this line didn’t. I keep the lotion handy and use it on my own hands and face because it’s not greasy.

When we’re in the mood for bubbles, we use the Bath product. Max is old enough to wash his own hair now so he can use either the Shampoo or 2-in-1 to wash. He gets squeaky clean and I never have to worry about him getting soap in his eyes and disturbing me from reading housekeeping.

You are entering to win one of each of the items above. Here’s more:

Sesame Street Baby Elmo Shampoo: Developed especially for baby, Sesame Street® offers gentle cleansing and peace of mind with this dermatologist tested, tear free, and hypo-allergenic Baby Shampoo. Moisturizing ingredients ensure this Shampoo is non-drying and gentle enough for newborns. The rich lather and light pear fragrance will leave baby’s hair healthy, silky, and smelling sweet. In addition, this formula is soap-free, dye-free, and paraben-free.

Sesame Street Baby Elmo Wash & Shampoo 2-in-1: Keep your baby’s skin and hair healthy with Sesame Street® Baby Wash & Shampoo. For added peace of mind, this formula is dermatologist tested, tear free, and hypo-allergenic. Use this 2-in-1 formula with a light pear fragrance to gently cleanse baby from top to bottom and leave both skin and hair smooth and smelling sweet. The rich, moisturizing lather is non-drying and gentle enough for newborns. In addition, this formula is soap-free, dye-free, and paraben-free.

Sesame Street Baby Elmo Bath: Create piles of soft bubbles with Sesame Street® Baby Bath. For added peace of mind, this mild formula is dermatologist tested, tear free, and hypo-allergenic. The formula gentle enough for newborns ensures this bubble bath will leave your baby’s skin healthy and the light pear fragrance will leave it smelling sweet. In addition, this formula is soap-free, dye-free, and paraben-free.

Sesame Street Baby Elmo Lotion: Sesame Street® Baby Lotion contains Shea Butter and Sunflower Oil for extra skin nourishing benefits. For added peace of mind, this formula is dermatologist tested and hypo-allergenic. Naturally moisturizing ingredients ensure this Baby Lotion is non-greasy and gentle enough for newborns and every day use. The rich, creamy formula and light pear fragrance will leave the entire body smooth and smelling sweet. In addition, this formula is both dye-free and paraben-free.
