What’s your biggest complaint about combination locks?  Remembering the combination of course!  How many have you thrown away?  This issue is even worse if you have children that need to lock up their bikes or gym locker.  I was so excited to hear that there is finally a solution for this problem.

Wordlock locks are the first combination lock that allow you to set your combination with words.  Engineer Todd Basche designed them so that he and millions of others could remember an easy four or five letter word combination.  Wordlocks can be set to several different easy to remember combinations such as pilot, flash, words, loop, bike, fast, laser, party, sport, mouse, water, and so much more.

The Wordlock product line includes luggage locks, padlocks, bike locks, and cable locks, which are available at Target.com and Amazon.com.  The locks also come in a variety of eye catching colors such as blue, black, red, and pink which makes it much easier to spot your locker at the gym.

I love to put cool products into your hands so now on to the giveaway!!! :)  Three winners will receive one padlock and one bike lock.

Over at Keeping the Castle, I have two great giveaways going on.

The first giveaway is a prize package from Gum brand.  There’s a little something for the kids and adults.  For the kids, there is a Crayola Timer Light Toothbrush and Crayola Kids’ Flossers.  The light up toothbrush is pretty cool because it helps kids remember to brush longer.  For the adults we have two Summit toothbrushes, a 90 pack of eez-thru flossers, and soft picks with a travel case.

The next giveaway includes five copies of Mrs. Meyer’s Clean Home.  Mrs. Meyers is two parts common sense and one part inspiration.  Read it and you will learn how to clean like the dickens.

Good luck everyone!

The launch party is still going on each day at Berries & Cream Blog Design.  Revka has prizes lined up each day for the party.  Thrifty Mommy has sponsored one of the prizes.  You can win a Veggie Tales pack which includes Jonah, a VeggieTales movie (VHS tape) and Jonah: Even Fish Slappers Need a Second Chance (book).  The giveaway ends Tuesday, March 3, 2009.  Click here to enter.
