Vizardz Night Light Review & Giveaway

This Giveaway is done by SaraLee's Deals Steals & Giveaways

Family, children, pets, sports or other special pictures that you just love to show off? 2.5D Night Light is the perfect way to display those pictures in a truly unique way. Using the most advance 3D technology, we transform ordinary photographs into stylish pieces of art that comes alive when lit while looking equally stunning when turned off!

Watch the quick demo below to get a better idea of how it works.

I was so excited over this review as I always try to get a creative way to display a picture of my husband & I every year. I like how I was able to infuse a picture with a night light as I was just telling hubby I wanted a night light in the kitchen so I didn't need a big light on. This is the perfect fit. I am able to have light to see my way around and able to be reminded of the love hubby & I have for each other. Now my son wants one for his room so he might be getting one for Christmas.

I think this turned out great and the night light looks way better in person.

Now for the giveaway: One lucky person will win a Personalized 2.5D Night Light from Vizardz. Giveaway is open to US & Canada only and ends on 7/31 @ 11:59 pm EDT. For you chance to try out this 3-in-1 night light (plus picture frame and wall decor), simply fill out the Rafflecopter form below.

Paper Jamz Pro Series Microphone Review & Giveaway

Do you love to sing? Do you want to sound like a super star? Then you should definitely check out Paper Jamz Pro Series Microphones, a new product line developed by the makers behind popular paper-thin, pro-level play musical instruments known as Paper Jamz Guitars and Drums. Featuring real-time, cutting-edge technology called Perfect Pitch™, the Pro Series Mics enable kids as well as adults to sing with rockstar-quality vocals instantly!

Unlike other Paper Jamz products that let users make music with a touch enabled-print, the Pro Mics are real microphones, which come with a small 4x2 inch box acting as both an amplifier and tuner. Powered by 4 x “AA” batteries, the device uses pitch detection to transform the quality of your voice as you sing, with five different modes:

• Solo/Duet: Sing with the artist or become the artist by turning the original vocal track ON or OFF;
• Auto Harmony: Doubles or triples singer’s voice and shifts pitch to create perfect harmonies;
• Auto Vibrato: Adds perfect intonation and pitch variation;
• Chorus: Multiplies singer’s vocals to add depth; and
• Auto: Recreate original sound of song with real-time effects control.

Each Pro Microphone is pre-loaded with two songs. You can easily add new songs or replace the current ones by connecting the box to your computer with the USB cable included in the kit. The Paper Jamz Pro software allows you to load the box with your favorite music from iTunes. Need ideas for songs most suited for sing-along features? Download one of the "Certified Compatible" songs provided on Paper Jamz website. There are hundreds to choose from!

WowWee has kindly sent me a Pro Microphone Style 1 to try out. Everyone in our family loves to sing. We had tons of fun playing with our new toy. It produced much better sound than our karaoke player. My favorite modes are Chorus and Auto Harmony. My son really enjoys singing along the pre-loaded song "Kung Fu Yu". The box is compact and lightweight. It comes with a belt clip, but I think it easier to just hold it with one hand. The amplifier is more powerful than what I would expect from a toy, so be sure to turn the volume down before you start playing. The Pro Microphone would be helpful to boost the confidence of your young singer, to add joy and laughter to your house party, and to keep you up-to-date with what's hot on the Billboard.

The Pro Microphone is available in 3 colors/styles: pink, neutral, and grey. It can be found at Walmart and Target stores at a retail price of $29.99.

The Giveaway

To encourage you to check out this new product, WowWee has generously offered to give one of my lucky readers a Paper Jamz Pro Series Microphone! A $30 value! I'm sure the winner will love her new entertainment gear.

More on Dolphin Tale:
Dolphin Tale is inspired by the amazing true story of a brave dolphin and the compassionate strangers who banded together to save her life.Swimming free, a young dolphin is caught in a crab trap, severely damaging her tail. She is rescued and transported to the Clearwater Marine Hospital, where she is named Winter. But her fight for survival has just begun. Without a tail, Winter’s prognosis is dire. It will take the expertise of a dedicated marine biologist, the ingenuity of a brilliant prosthetics doctor, and the unwavering devotion of a young boy to bring about a groundbreaking miracle—a miracle that might not only save Winter but could also help scores of people around the world. The real Winter, who plays herself in “Dolphin Tale,” today serves as a symbol of courage, perseverance and hope to millions of people—both able and disabled—who have been touched by her remarkable story of recovery and rehabilitation.

The movie will be in theaters on September 23, 2011. Rated PG.

Disney's New Release Mars Needs Moms Prize Pack Giveaway

~~The giveaway is now CLOSED. Congrats to winner Bret!~~

Disney's new release Mars Needs Moms is coming to theaters everywhere in 3D on Friday, March 11th, 2011 and you could win an exclusive branded prize pack even before the movie premieres! How cool is that? Wondering what the movie is all about? Check out the trailer and synopsis below.






MARS NEEDS MOMS (In Disney Digital 3D™ and IMAX® 3D)
WALT DISNEY PICTURES/IMAGEMOVERS DIGITAL

Genre: Comedy Adventure
Rating: TBD
U.S. Release Date: March 11, 2011

Cast: Seth Green, Dan Fogler, Elisabeth Harnois, Mindy Sterling, Kevin Cahoon and Joan Cusack
Director: Simon Wells
Producers: Robert Zemeckis*, Jack Rapke, Steve Starkey, Steven Boyd
Screenplay by: Simon Wells & Wendy Wells
Based on the book by: Berkeley Breathed**

Produced by the team behind “Disney’s A Christmas Carol” and “The Polar Express,” “Mars Needs Moms” showcases Milo’s quest to save his mom—a wild adventure in Disney Digital 3D™ and IMAX® 3D that involves stowing away on a spaceship, navigating an elaborate, multi-level planet and taking on the alien nation and their leader (Mindy Sterling). With the help of a tech-savvy, underground earthman named Gribble (Dan Fogler) and a rebel Martian girl called Ki (Elisabeth Harnois), Milo just might find his way back to his mom—in more ways than one.

Notes:
*Producer Robert Zemeckis, who wrote, directed and produced “Disney’s A Christmas Carol” and “The Polar Express,” is a pioneer in performance-capture filmmaking. The process digitally captures the performances of the actors with computerized cameras in a full 360 degrees, allowing actors like Jim Carrey and Tom Hanks to play several roles of varying ages in one film, and for 36-year-old Seth Green to portray a 9-year-old.  
**Berkeley Breathed, a Pulitzer-Prize winner for his comic strip “Bloom County,” is the author and illustrator of the book “Mars Needs Moms.” The story was inspired by a particular moment of disagreement that took place between his son Milo and his wife.

From now through the end of March, you may enter to win a Nissan Quest from Disney's Mars Needs Moms Family Quest Sweepstakes! Other prizes include a trip for 4 to attend a Disney movie Premiere, and 10 Disney gift packs. Remember to enter once per day to increase your chances of winning. Best of luck!
