So far, I've declined, because none of them have been things I've thought I'd use. (Because why Why WHY are people not offering to send me pounds of chocolate or fabulous boots to review and offer to readers?)
Anyway!
Powerocks contacted me and asked if I'd be interested in either reviewing or giving away a Powerocks Magicstick - a portable charger for smartphones, Bluetooth headsets, cameras, GPS, e-readers, iPods, etc. Its 2800mAh battery capacity provides up to 2 full charges before needing recharging.
I should mention that they also make other devices that provide more charges or charge larger things, like iPads. Scroll down on this page for a chart.
The one I have is red, but it comes in a rainbow of colors. It comes with a USB cable and a little pouch, as shown above. And a push-button LED shows charge status. Easy, no?
Maybe you are an outdoor adventurer? Whose phone or camera needs a boost?
(I myself am an urban adventurer, and am not above scrounging power in a Starbucks for a quick charge. But I understand there is a paucity of coffee shops out in The Nature.)
I was given the option of either reviewing or giving away...and I was torn.
As I said, who doesn't need more charge? I could use it and write about how fabulous I thought it was and go on my merry way, never worrying that my phone would die. Fa la la la la, la la la charge!
But then I sat myself down and gave myself a talking-to. I said, "Lisa, it's almost Christmas. And look! The Powerocks Magicstick they sent you is red and cute and could make someone else very happy! Or maybe someone they know will wind up with it in their stocking. Happiness!"
I was stern. I had a tone. And thus, it was decided: my first giveaway!
So! If you are a person who needs a back-up charge for your smartphone or music or what-have-you, leave a comment. I'll pick a winner at random and announce on Monday, December 23.
You don't need to have a blog, just an email address so I can contact you.
Giveaway ends at 12:00 noon EST on December 21.
First! And what would you think about reviewing Fabulous chocolate boots?
ReplyDeleteYes, comment on blog. Wasn't thinking! Actually I didn't want to be first. But I do want to be first to win your first giveaway. And how cool is it that you are being contacted to review products? You're famous!
ReplyDeleteOoooh, sign me up! True, not as useful as chocolate/boots, but way more practical.
ReplyDeleteI often have problems finding coffee shops in The Nature to charge up :)
ReplyDeleteMe.
ReplyDeleteI am honestly surprised you have been contacted by some shoe company - that's a missed opportunity on their part. :)
ReplyDeleteDear Ms. Lemon:
ReplyDeletePlease enter my name in your Powerrocks giveaway. I think the product looks nifty.
Sincerely,
Ann AKA Snapdragon Surprise (Crazy? I was crazy once...)
Great time of year for a giveaway!
ReplyDeleteThose things are SO cool. I've been looking into them recently due to my phones battery suddenly discharging at a rapid rate. Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteOooh neat! And it's so cute! And yes, glad someone finally offered to send you something worthwhile, yay! It's only a matter of time before the boot offers come pouring in.
ReplyDeleteThat seems like it would be very useful.
ReplyDeleteYes please! My damn phone is always running out of battery!
ReplyDeleteDamn, I wish I knew about this gadget before Christmas shopping! I know a few hard-to-shop-for folks who would dig this. Would love to try it myself!
ReplyDeletePlease enter my son Ryan in your give away- his itouch runs out of power all the time and it is a tragedy. He has even figured out that planes have plugs and asks whenever we travel where he can plug in. He has been telling me he needs one of these and I won't buy it- if he wins one, so be! Thanks! BTW- can't believe you get asked to try out products... very famous blogger!
ReplyDeleteHow sweet of you to decide to give it away! Maybe Santa will bring you a red one of your own?
ReplyDeleteThat would be a great stocking stuffer for the hubby who goes off into The Nature for days at a time with just a backpack. Thanks for the idea!
ReplyDeleteGIMME, GIMME, GIMME please?
ReplyDeleteWho DOESN'T need this?
ReplyDeleteOh, I live in Asia and travel a lot! This would be great for those looong days on the plane. Thanks for doing a giveaway! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm frankly astounding you haven't been inundated with boot reviewing offers - there are marketing folks out there who are clearly asleep at the switch. But I'll take an entry in your charger doodad give-away still.
ReplyDeleteRED! At Christmas! How perfect! And even ideal for re-gifting! Oh, thank you for deciding to share your lovely new thing!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a thing of great awesomeness! (Although posting it to Tanzania may be more trouble than it's worth!) Good to know such things are out there tho!
ReplyDeleteI love your blog! Yours is the first blog I read every morning when I get in at work. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThis would be perfect for charging my GPS watch on overnight hiking trips. Great giveaway!
ReplyDeleteYou're sweet to give it away! Merry Christmas, enjoy your wine!
ReplyDeleteYou're the best! I love this giveaway!
ReplyDeleteenter me too please, my phone is always dying on me, super frikking annoying!
ReplyDeleteWishing you and your family a very happy holiday!
ReplyDeleteOooh Shiny! Me want!
ReplyDeleteI totally relate with ya- I wish chocolate companies would offer to send me chocolate to review!
