Wally the Wonderbug Giveaway!

By in contests, cool stuff, giveaway

Ok, so Parenting had a contest where if you retweeted a link you were entered to win Kolkraft’s newest baby play saucer, Wally the Wonderbug.  I retweeted it thinking that you, my dear readers, would be interested in the contest.  Lo and behold, I won.  I never win anything, so of course the thing I would win would be something that I can’t use. Every single baby in my life is just a little too big to enjoy it (the weight limit is 30 pounds), It’s a shame too, because Wally the Wonderbug is pretty awesome.

From the Kolkraft website:

The Kolcraft WonderBug Activity Center opens up a world of discovery and development for baby in the form of a cute, lovable bug. Eight development toys help entertain baby and develop basic motor skills. A bouncy seat pad and a seat that spins around make the Kolcraft WonderBug Activity Center a great solution for growing babies. For games, contests & more check out our Wonderbug website www.kolcraft.com/wonderbug

So….I’m giving it away!  One lucky Parenting Geekly reader in the Seattle area will win the brand new, in the box, Wally the Wonderbug.  To enter leave a comment here telling us what makes you a Geeky Parent.  I’ll randomly pick a winner from all the entries on May 13.  For an extra entry, you can tweet a link to this page mentioning @ParentingGeekly and post a comment here saying you’ve done so.

This contest is limited to those in the Seattle who will be able to pick Wally up.  If you are outside of the Seattle area and win, you will need to pay shipping (probably about $20, though the Wonderbug’s MSRP is $69 so it’s still a deal!).

Apple to Give $10,000 to 10 Billionth Downloader

Apple’s App Store is about to reach it’s ten billionth download.  Be the lucky downloader and you can win a $10,000 iTunes gift card. 

Apple did a similar promotion when iTunes hit it’s ten billionth download, which took eight years. The App Store has been open for three.

As of this morning the counter is just under 9.8 billion. I don’t personally own any Apple products (I’m a fan of Android phones and other Open Source platforms) so I’m out of the running, are you going to give it a shot?
