The two winners of the Contigo Trekker cups are:

#8, lorib and #11, Melissa. Congratulations, ladies! You will receive an e-mail from Contigo soon!

My daughter is 3.

Three is hard. Just in case no one has ever told you that.

Libbie wants to use a regular cup, most of the time. (Unless she’s trying to steal her baby brother’s sippies.) But about half the time, this ends with milk on the carpet or water down her front. And for Libbie, one drop of water on her shirt equals a wardrobe change.

Enter Contigo cups. These brilliant bottles are for preschoolers like Libbie, who like to feel independent but still lack complete coordination.

The Contigo Trekker cups are spill-proof and leak-proof, with auto-sealing. Kids must press the button to open the hole to drink, and it reseals as soon as they release the button. The tight-fitting lid is one piece, so no loose parts to lose, either! The textured bottle makes gripping easy for little ones.

Libbie loves these cups (which we purchased ourselves a few months ago). She loves that her little brother can’t use them; they are hers alone. They look a lot like Mommy’s water bottles. And they don’t spill water on her beloved princess get-ups.

Contigo has graciously offered us two Trekker cups to give away during March.

To enter the giveaway, just answer the following in the comments: what do you hate about sippy cups? [Or just tell us why you need a Contigo cup!]

I hate leaks and finding nasty milk curdled in hidden cups!

Winners will be selected May 1, 2012. LifeWay employees are not eligible to win. One entry per person, please. USA only.

The winner of the Rover Weather Radio is commenter #3, Angelia R., who said:

An item like the Rover would have been great to have during Katrina. Living in South Mississippi at the time we were without power for over two weeks. ( moved to New Orleans after Katrina to attended NOBTS). Not having the ability to charge cell phone was frustrating. You could get text out to check on friends and family or tell of needs but with no power it was hard to keep it charged.

We certainly hope you’ll never have to go through anything like Katrina ever again, Angelia, but in case of any emergency, you’ll now be well-prepared!

Rovers are available for purchase on Amazon (current price is about $45).

In light of the recent tornadoes sweeping through the South and Midwest, this month’s giveaway seems especially appropriate. We found ourselves in the basement hallways of the school where we live several times on Friday – and often wishing we had more information!

The Rover from the American Red Cross and Eton is a flashlight, weather radio, and device-charger all in one! It has a battery that can be charged with a mini-USB port when you have power or by hand when you don’t.

One minute of hand cranking can provide 15 minutes or light or radio usage. The Rover has a USB port where you can charge your cell phone, smart phone, or laptop for a few minutes of usage during an outage. Sounds to me like a great way to use up excess child energy during a storm.

I wish we had had a Rover when we lost our power for 5 1/2 days last April!

Eton has provided us with one Rover to give away to our readers. To enter, just answer this question in the comments:

When could you have used a Rover?

Winner will be selected at random March 31, 2012. USA only. LifeWay employees are not eligible to win.

I (William) just finished working on a great product to use with kids at church — Theo Church Edition: Foundations of the Christian Life. We take the great Theo videos that the folks at Whitestone Media produce and create a teaching plan for use at small groups and churches everywhere who are looking for a great way to teach theology to kids.

Theo offers a rare combination—packaging rich theological content with high entertainment value. Make the biblical content come alive through fun, age-appropriate Bible curriculum that revolves around the Bible stories embedded in each episode of Theo.

Volume 3: Foundations of the Christian Life includes “A Day in Prayer,” “Abiding in Christ,” “Light Unto My Path,” and “What Is the Church?” plus the “Good News” bonus session. Retails for $39.99.

Want to win a copy for your church? Comment on any post in February and get a one entry. Comment every day, and you could have up to 20 entries! You can get a hot-off-the-presses copy when it releases in March!

And we’ll give you a few more days to enter to win a copy of the OMC game from CentriKid. If it’s not clear, just leave a comment about any camp experience on that post to get a chance to win.

Congrats to you three and thanks to everyone who entered! Winners, we will be in touch to get your addresses for shipping.

For December, we have TWO great products to give away. Woo hoo! Not to mention we’ll be announcing the winners of the If Recordable Storybook today!

Penny Love is the story of a grandmother who uses a penny on the ground as an object lesson for her granddaughter. She tells the girl that everytime she finds a penny, she can remember her grandmother loves her. One Amazon reviewer predicts it could be the next "Love You Forever" — a timeless book that treasures relationships.

We have five copies of Penny Love to give away to our readers!

In our December issue, we recommended the YakPak Deluxe DJ bag. Unfortunately, that bag is out of stock right now; but we’re glad to offer another wonderful YakPak bag, the Student Backpack, instead.

Is your kid’s backpack already beat up from one semester of use? The traditional backpack gets the job done while keeping you looking good. One winner will receive a YakPack Student Backpack in their choice of available pattern. They have everything from camo to leopard print to music notes!

To enter both giveaways, just leave a comment telling us what your Christmas plans are this year. Will you travel? Celebrate in January? Bake cookies while tap-dancing to Jingle Bells? We want to know! 

Winners will be selected by random December 30, 2011. USA only. LifeWay employees are not eligible to win.

The two winners of Reshaping It All by Candace Cameron Bure are Kristin and Dianne. Congrats, ladies! We’ll be in touch.
