Giveaway: Seventh Generation Back to School kit!

September 24, 2010 by Melissa

I work in an elementary school, I have a first grader, and I have a son in daycare, so once we’re all “back to school” I’m in a constant battle to keep everyone healthy and to keep everything “germ free.”

Seventh Generation via My Blog Spark has given me an awesome “Back to School” kit and has also given one for me to give away to one lucky reader. The kit includes a Seventh Generation backpack, two canisters of Seventh Generation disinfecting wipes (keep one and donate one to your child’s classroom!), disinfecting multi-surface spray cleaner, facial tissue, and paper towels!

The disinfecting wipes are so handy and easy to use plus they kill 99.9% of germs naturally using the natural ingredient thyme, a component of thyme oil which is derived from the herb thyme (I use thyme for cooking all the time, but who knew it could kill germs, too??)

The giveaway starts today, September 24th, and will end on Sunday, September 26th at 11:59 p.m. CT. I will announce the winner on Monday, September 27th. The winner will be chosen randomly using random.org.

This giveaway has an extremely short turn around time. You MUST provide me with a way to contact you (e-mail, etc.) in your entry and I must have a response by midnight on the 27th.

Here’s how you can enter to win:

1. Visit Seventh Generation on Facebook and “like” them or on Twitter and “follow” them. Create a post to let me know that you did and share one of your tips for keeping your kids healthy and germ free.

2. Subscribe to my blog (You must activate your subscription to validate your entry). Please post a comment letting me know that you subscribe.

3. Follow my blog through Blogger or become a fan on Facebook. Leave an entry letting me know that you’re following!

4. Blog about the giveaway on your blog. Be sure to come back and post a link to your post!

Please create a separate post for each of your entries. If you win, you need to provide me with some way to contact you. (Remember, if you post a comment as “anonymous” you need to include some sort of identifying information or your entry will not be valid). If you’re accessing this through a live feed somewhere else, you will need to actually come here to enter the giveaway.

Thanks again to Seventh Generation and My Blog Spark for this giveaway opportunity! (Please note that even though I did receive a Seventh Generation Back to School pack, they did not influence my comments in any way. Please refer to my disclosure policy for more information.)
