Room on the Broom Halloween Giveaway

We have a quick giveaway here, open just a week. The US-based winner gets a board book and a plush toy, both perfect for Halloween. Don't miss out if interested, enter now to win this really quick giveaway.

Hosted by: Queen of Savings

Room on the Broom Board Book - This rollicking, rhyming tale from master storyteller Julia Donaldson is the perfect Halloween read-aloud for the youngest listeners. A friendly witch, hungry dragon, and muddy monster learn about friendship, and readers will delight in the surprising (and not too scary) ending.

The Pasta Shoppe Giveaway

We have a giveaway here for some pasta, or at least a gift card to get some. I love the collegiate varieties this place offers with team colors, mascot shapes, and logos. And, that isn't all they offer. Take a chance and enter to win. Good luck.

Hosted by: Queen of Savings

Pasta is made with the highest quality ingredients on the market and with a passion for great tasting pasta.

They use only 100% durum wheat and add "all natural" vegetable powders for pasta color – the exception is their Collegiate Pasta and Angel Hair Pasta Nests. College fans want their team colors, so they add a little bit of food coloring.

Haunted Headphones Giveaway

Who here is bored with their plain white or any other solid colored headphones? Here's a chance to spruce them up with a set that is green and black with skulls. And, you only have to be 16 and older (and from the US) to win this one. Take a chance to win by 12 am on 10/31. Good luck.

The Top DreamWorks Characters to Watch This Halloween 

Available on DVD October 15 

The approach of Halloween means that the weather is getting cooler and it’s the perfect time of year for family movie nights on the couch at home. All of the scary movies being shown on TV aren’t exactly family friendly, so as a parent you may be finding it difficult to come up with things to watch with your little ones. Luckily for you, DreamWorks is releasing three fantastic films on DVD this month! Below, you can find out more about the characters to be watching in these family-friendly titles this Halloween.

Costumes4Less Halloween Costume Review

With Halloween just around the corner, I thought it was time to pick something up to wear before all the good stuff was gone. The folks over at Costumes4Less.com were gracious enough to offer an item to review. I actually need two costumes this year, one for with my son and one a little more adult as work has something going on, too. I could have picked one costume that would work for both, but that wasn't in the cards this year.

After checking out the selection of costumes available, I decided to go with a mask this year. That way, I don't have to wear the costume around the office the whole day and can just switch into it later in the day very easily. I'll have to figure out the rest of the outfit still, and make sure I wear a shirt where the bottom of the mask will be sure to go under. Some kind of a full length overcoat perhaps. How do you think I look here in my Hellboy 2 mask? Only complaint about the mask is the mouth isn't a full opening, so no snacking at the party. There is room for a straw though.

Top Ramen Top This! Giveaway

Here's a chance to win one of three iPad Minis, one of nine Amazon gift cards, or one of six Top Ramen gift baskets. Total prize value is over $2,800. Enter before 11/11/13, 9 am PST. Single entry, US only.

Thomas and Friends: Santa's Little Engine Giveaway and Coloring Sheet

Hop aboard Santa’s Little Engine to spread Christmas cheer with this all-new holiday DVD! We just posted the announcement of the release of Santa's Little Engine. Now it is time to give one away. The giveaway runs until October 30th and is open to US only, 18+.

Before the giveaway, here's a Santa's Little Engine coloring sheet. Just download the PDF for the little one and let them enjoy.

Thomas and Friends: Santa's Little Engine on DVD

My wife thinks I'm nuts letting my son watch the new Thomas & Friends DVDs at his age. She really wants him to move on to something else. I guess I'm just not around when he watches the shows daily on Sprout or whatever network during the day, so I haven't seen them hundreds of times each.

Starting yesterday (October 8th), Thomas & Friends: Santa's Little Engine is available on DVD and is available for digital download and video on demand, from Lionsgate and HIT Entertainment. The Thomas & Friends®: Santa’s Little Engine DVD features five frosty and fun-filled episodes. Join Thomas, Percy, Gordon and all the other steam engines as they learn the true meaning of the holiday season.

Super Pingu on Demand

Starting yesterday (October 8th), Super Pingu is available for digital download and video on demand, from Lionsgate and HIT Entertainment. See what icy antics Pingu and his friends are up to in this hilarious twelve episode collection! 

An award-winning global animation star, Pingu never lacks for fun and adventure, sharing good times, hilarious antics and his own “Penguinese” language with his family and friends, particularly little sister, Pinga and best friend, Robby the Seal. Come enjoy some ice surfing, help out with chores around the igloo or just sit back and take in the snow… er, show!

Fireman Sam: Lights, Sirens, Action! on Demand

I swear, the people of Pontypandy seem like a sad bunch of people. If anything goes wrong, and I mean anything, they call Fireman Sam. Sometimes I wish they could help themselves, but then that wouldn't make for much of a TV show now would it?

Starting yesterday (October 8th), Fireman Sam: Lights, Sirens, Action! is available for digital download and video on demand, from Lionsgate and HIT Entertainment. Your favorite hero Fireman Sam returns in an all-new exclusive digital release of Fireman Sam^®: Lights, Sirens, Action!  Featuring six exciting episodes filled with action and adventure.

Switch & Go Dinos Giveaway

Welcome to our latest giveaway. We have a great, fun toy from VTech here up for grabs. It is one of those switcharoo toys, here changing from a dinosaur to a helicopter. US only entrants with an October 21st ending. Good luck.

Arby's Does Smokehouse Brisket Right

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Arby's for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

I'm a big fan of barbecue and it is rare to find decent fast food barbecue  Arby's might just have done it right with their new Smokehouse Brisket sandwich. Smoked for 13 hours, the sandwich is filled with smoked Gouda cheese, crispy onions, BBQ sauce, mayonnaise, and, of course, the slow-smoked beef brisket, all on a toasted, bakery-style bun.

Cody the Robosapien DVD has a $3 coupon here and some coffee creamer from Baileys at 75¢ off should do well if your store doubles.

Grace Unplugged Prize Pack Giveaway

To help promote the October 4 release of the movie Grace Unplugged, we're giving away a Grace Unplugged Prize Pack, including the book and movie soundtrack. The giveaway runs until October 17th and is open to US and Canadian residents.

Sometimes, chasing your dreams leads you right to where you belong! 

Having just turned 18, Grace Trey aspires to more than just singing at her church where her father, a former pop star, is the worship leader. So, with the help of Mossy, her dad's former manager, Grace records a cover version of her dad's old Top-10 hit, runs off to Los Angeles, and begins to taste the kind of stardom she's always dreamed about. 

Yet with each rung of the ladder she climbs, Grace feels more and more pressure to compromise her values, further straining her relationship with her parents. Will everything she experiences lead her to reject her faith… or rediscover it?
