2013 Product of the Year Giveaway (SodaStream + more!)

Win prize package containing ALL 27

Product of the Year is a prestigious consumer product award created to support highly innovative consumer packaged goods and give shoppers a shortcut to the very best new products on the market.

Here’s what makes the Product of the Year award completely unique:

  • 100% Consumer-Voted. There are no experts or lab coats involved. Products are voted on entirely by a nationally representative sample of U.S. consumers.
  • 100% Independent. The competing products have no other interest in being included other than to put their product to the test of consumers. There are no advertising discounts or packaged deals that often come with magazine awards.
  • 100% Transparent. Brands can participate only if they enter and once a brand wins, the award is theirs to use. Product of the Year does not “nominate” brands or ask for a percentage of their sales if they win.
  • Nation’s Largest Study. With over 40,000 Americans voting on products, Product of the Year conducts the nation’s largest consumer survey on innovation. The study is conducted with a representative sample of the U.S. population — therefore reflecting the opinions of the nation rather than a group of subscribers to one magazine or volunteers.

    I would love to have the SodaStream Revolution Home Soda Maker and of these products, I believe it should win for product of the year.

  2. Lauren

    I want to try the Soda Stream!! I love to enjoy a soda every now and then, but I hate having it just setting when I’m not craving one…

  3. Nancy L.

    I think I’d like to try the Dial Body Wash. We have very dry winter air here and something moisturizing would be fantastic!! And of course I’d love to try the Nestle Crunch Girl Scout Candy Bars!! Anything chocolate sounds wonderful.

  4. Toni Mathews

    I would love to try the sodastream! It would be a fun thing to do and to figure out different flavors that taste good. Also it would save money on buying name brand pop.

  5. Amy S

    I really would like to try the Soda Stream. It looks marvelous but I just don’t have it in my tiny budget for such an extravagant toy… though I would love one!

  6. Trisha

    Hard to choose just one thing but my top choice would be the bed mats. I am currently trying to potty train my son and these would be nice.

  7. Suzanne

    Definitely the Soda Stream. Our kids don’t drink a lot of soda, but when they do, it’s a real treat. What a great Christmas present! :)

  8. Jen Kelly

    I would love to try something so simple as the Good Nites Bed Mats. Potty training 2 young ones is tiring as is having to change the sheets every night. This is a great concept.

  9. Katie Raska

    I would love to try the soda stream and the pickles. My favorite product is Tide with Febreeze. I absolutely love the smell of my clothes. The scent lasts a long time

  10. Tanda

    I keep walking past that soda stream at the stores and would love to have one! I have given up soda but sometimes something with a little bubble in it would be nice!

  11. Kaylee Nelson

    I would love to try the M & M’s. I don’t think it would be a good idea to buy a bag because I would eat the whole thing in one sitting :/ The soda stream looks very fun too!

  12. Kara B

    I have wanted to try the soda stream product for a while. We don’t drink soda in our house because it’s so bad for you, but I like the idea of making your own.

  13. Sara G

    I’m fascinated by the Sodastream, save money while still being able to have my favorite drinks, yes please! Thank you for the opportunity!

  14. brandy norris

    I would love to try the Soda Stream! We drink so much soda in our house…I think it would not only get used, but be less expensive!

  15. Lorraine R.

    Would love to see the Frozen Vegetables — Green Giant Seasoned Steamers win… Nothing better than an easy, fast healthy side dish!

  16. Aimee M

    I’ve wanted a sodastream for a couple years and I finally tried one out at my cousin’s house today. It’s awesome and now I want it even more!

  17. Beth Goblirsch

    With my dry and itchy skin, I would love to try Dial Triple Moisture Body Wash this winter! Use Dixie brand plates ALL of the time, it definitely is a favorite!

  18. CCT

    I would definitely use the stain remover the most. With pets in the house and people coming in and out any kind of help with stain removal is always a help!

  19. JayVDK

    I would love to win the soda stream. It’s on my sister and her fiance’s wish list for xmas so if I won it would become their present.

  20. Alyssa

    I want to try all of them!! I live on a very small budget and usually have to buy store brands of almost everything so this would be pretty awesome.

  21. Claire Hearn

    Pickles look yummy! Justin’s Maple Almond Butter is the best thing I’ve ever tasted and should definitely win an award!!!

  22. Tracey Brock

    I would love to try the All mighty packs. I have some nasty infant laundry with baby poop, spit up, drool and puke all over them that could really benefit!

  23. April S

    Would love to try the SodaStream, but in all practical sense I would like to try out the MidNite Menopause :) Several of those products are already favorites in our household. especially the All pacs.

  24. Anne

    I’d try the Soda Stream. A product I’d like to recommend are individual fresh fruit snack packs (apple slices, blueberries, etc.).

  25. Shaunah

    I’d like to try the soda stream as well! I love sparkling water so I’m wondering If i can just make some sparkling water as well!

  26. Kristie

    I would love to try the Surf detergent, and I would give the award to Pantene BB cream – leavesmy hair soft, shiny and smelling great!

  27. jenny z.

    i’d love to try the Dial® Triple Moisture Body Wash! all about keeping clean and i’m always looking for new skin/bath products :)

  28. Lisa

    The soda stream! Although I don’t drink soda, my husband and grandkids do and I think it would be fun for them to create their own!

  29. Kristin S

    Tums Freshers are AMAZING! A friend turned me on to them when she was pregnant and miserable. I keep them everywhere and take two after super acidic meals. Perfection.

  30. Aryn

    I want a SodayStream like you wouldn’t believe…we loooovvvve fizzy drinks at our house! I’m glad I don’t have to pick the winners for the year, so many good products out there!

  31. Tracy

    I love the Quaker Real Medleys line. Those cups are delicious. But the pickles look good, too. I’m obsessed with Rosemary & Olive Oil Triscuits right now. Not new, but award-worthy in my book.

  32. Robyn

    I would love the Soda Stream. I hear from friends it is great and I would like to reduce the amount of garbage I have from the seltzer bottles that I buy.

  33. Candy

    I use many of the products listed….love Brawny paper towels. I would like to try the DOLE® Frozen Fruit Single-serve Cups. Thanks for the chance to win…..Merry Christmas!!

  34. Becky

    Since I’m a big soda drinker I would love to win the soda stream. One product I can’t do without is my sensodyne toothpaste for it helps with the sensitivity of my teeth so I can eat without tooth pain. Can’t live without it.

  35. Sheryl Harlow

    I’d love the Soda Stream. What a great way to save money. My product suggestion for the Best Product award is Talenti Sea Salt Caramel Gelato. Decadent!

  36. Kelly

    I’ve always wanted to try the Soda Stream… And those Thin Mint Girls Scout Crunch Bars are PHENOMENAL! They are definitely the best flavor of the three :-)

  37. Emily Wheeler

    Those Crunch bars looks DELICIOUS! I am really loving fruit and nut bars by Nature Valley. Those are definitely on my own list of favorite 2013 products (or at least one I found this year!).

  38. AnaBel

    We already use some of these products (I love the Aquafresh Extreme Clean toothpaste!), I’d love to give the SodaStream a try, and the frozen veggies/entrees are always a quick fix for meals. Thanks Amanda!

  39. Christy

    I’d like to try the SodaStream. I get bored with water avoid juice and soda, so this might be perfect for me, with a twist of citrus! I assume the Keurig has already won its award, though I hate the amount of waste there is with it.

  40. Amy @ The Nifty Foodie

    Oooo…I’ve been eyeing the Healthy Choice baked entrees, but never purchased them. I’m going to have to try those now!

  41. Greg T

    I’ve tried some of the products on the list in the past. But I’ve never tried the Soda Stream and would like to try it. It looks fun.

  42. BamaCarol

    I probably need to try the Menopause sleep tablets but I think I would prefer to try the oatmeal. I love oatmeal for breakfast, year round!

  43. Joscelyn Rivers

    I would love to try the Soda Stream!! The product I would love to see on there is the Tide Pods, they are so amazing! :) thanks for the opportunity! :)

  44. Tania S.

    I would love to try the Nestle Crunch Girl Scout Candy Bars. I’ve seen them advertised, but could never find them in our local stores.

  45. Cheryl Newton

    The Green Giant Seasoned Steamers. I’m not a vegetable eater myself, so my collection of veggie side dish recipes is woefully lacking. But a product like this makes it so convenient and easy to include a yummy veggie with dinner.

  46. Allie

    This would totally save me a trip to the grocery store! Didn’t even know that Nestle Crunch Girl Scout Candy Bars existed so I would love to try those!

  47. Ashley C

    I’ve really been wanting to try those Farmer’s Garden Vlasic pickles! I’m definitely going to get a jar next time I’m out grocery shopping

    demureprincess7(at)gmail(dot)com

  48. Melinda Shapro

    I would love to try the Soda Stream. I spend so much money on Pellegrino when I entertain and it would be great to make my own sparkling water!

  49. Nikki

    I really want to try the soda stream, I drink A LOT of diet coke and sparkling water so something like that would be awesome.

    As far as what I think should get product of the year, Mrs. Renfro’s salsa is seriously the best!

  50. Kylea Johnson

    I would love to try the soda stream, and who wouldn’t want to try M&M’s. Also the All laundry Packs to see if they compare to the Tide Pods.

  51. Janie Hyde

    I think the soda stream would be so fun to try and I’m crazy for sweet/salty combos so the M&M mix would be high on my list of things to try!

  52. Pam C

    I have tried a lot of those products this year. (FYI, those pickles are great) I keep checking out the soda machines and have set to take the plunge I will go with that one.

  53. Rachel G.

    I am beyond obsessed with flavored sparkling water — it would keep me in my habit that much more often if I had a Soda Stream! I’ve been wanting to try one for ages!

  54. Lauri

    Trying out the OFF! Bug Control Backyard Pretreat would be awesome — I love the outdoors but I HATE mosquitoes and gnats! And I think the Soda Stream would be a cool thing to use as well — the kids love soda and I’d like a different option for them. Thanks for the opportunity to win. :)

  55. Jenn K.

    I have been wanting to try the Dole single serving frozen fruit cups. We love the Finish Quantum with New Power Gel tabs, so I’m happy to see they won. They deserve it!

  56. Michelle Harden

    I’ve heard great things about the Soda Stream. I’d love to try one. AND Stain Removers are a MUST in a house full of kids, so the Resolve would be awesome! Even if I don’t win there are lots of products worth trying, since the voting was done by consumers!

  57. Julie Reynolds

    Would love to try the oatmeal or the resolve stain remover. I think that Tastefully Simple products should win an award because they make entertaining simple whether for a small get together or a large bunch!

  58. Megan Hobbs

    While I’ve been curious about the Soda Stream, I must admit to being a paper towel snob and those Brawny towels are the bomb.

  59. Suzanne

    The M&M’s Sweet & Salty snack mix! I love sweet and salty snacks and have never tried this one!….plus I love the little M&M dudes!

  60. Marsha

    Ooh, the picture of the Farmers Garden pickles immediately sent a tart sensation to my mouth. Love pickles, and I’m not even pregnant.

  61. Erin

    I would love to try the soda stream!! A friend of mine has one and they talk about how much they use and love it :) Thanks for the giveaway!

  62. Julie Lombardi

    Who wouldn’t want a chance to win such wonderful products! The Soda Stream would be something I could share with others and the Triple Moisture Dial shower gel is something to keep just for me!

  63. Susan

    I have wanted a soda stream for year now, almost got one for the hubby but he requested power tools maybe I can win one. I also am intrigued by teh girlscout cookie candy bars but haven’t ever seen them in the store.

  64. Sheila Torres

    I’ve been wanting to try the Soda Stream. Don’t drink soda but love, love, love carbination and I think this could be the real deal!

  65. Lakenya Jacobs

    I would love to try the soda stream and the oatmeal sounds good. Also I love things that are salty and sweet so i would love the M&M’s.

  66. Heather

    I would like to try the bed mats. My 3 year old is not catching on to the night time potty training as good as the older kids did.

  67. Laura H

    I’ve actually tried those Girl Scout Crunch bars, and they’re pretty delicious. My mom got my dad a Sodastream for Christmas and I can’t wait to try it out.

  68. Jamee

    As a mama who has just barely survived potty training but still deals will occasional issues at night, the Good Nights bed mats are wonderful!!!

    I would love to try out the Soda Stream! I have heard awesome things!

  69. Wombatish

    The pickles, or the TP, as silly as that is! I always hear it talked up, and while I like my current selection I’m open to change c:

  70. Brittany Davidson

    The product I would love to try best would be the soda stream. My husbandand I do not drink soda-but would love to make carbonated water (I would put a lime in) or make agave soda by adding some agave syrup and natural flavors—yum!

  71. Danielle Breedlove

    I would be most excited to try the Abreva Conceal! I generally get really terrible cold sores and I have been interested to see if those conceal patches would help!

  72. Rachel Gray

    I’m most excited to try to Oatmeal cups. And one of my favorite products are Magic Erasers – those things are just amazing!

  73. Kim McCallie

    I would like to try the SodaStream. In the past, I would have said I wasn’t interested in it since I didn’t want to buy the refills. However, there is a new cookbook coming out that features recipes to use in a soda maker. I love the idea of homemade soda.

  74. Nicholya C

    I would really love to try the soda stream. My husband drinks a lot of soda and it would be nice to be able to make some for him!

  75. Mollie

    The Goodnights Disposable Bed Mats are intriguing- would be great for lots of little cousin sleepovers during the holidays!

    What about Reynolds non-stick foil? Can’t live without it.

  76. Sonia

    While the soda stream is the biggest value item it’s not really new – I had one years ago. I’m a big fan of the new Aqua Fresh toothpaste – tried it in a hotel and now that’s all I use.

  77. Talia Rosales

    OMG the GoodNites disposable bed mats for sure! I have a 1 yr old baby girl who’d benefit from this during her night time sleep.

  78. JNE

    I’d love to try the soda stream! Totally agree with the sweet & salty M&Ms pick – love that stuff! Another thing I love that isn’t on here is whipped Jif peanut butter – fan-stinkin-tastic!

  79. wendy

    I would love to try the Resolve Stain Remover. There are always stains in the house and I love to try new ways to banish them.

    My favorite product ever is the OpenX Dual Blade Universal Package Opener. Cannot live without it! It opens all those horrible blister packed/hermetically sealed packages that you absolutely hate to open. This cutter works wonders to quickly zip through. A must have for everyone!

  80. Robin in NC

    I’m curious about the SodaStream & would like to try it. Resolve All-Stains is my favorite!! It definitely deserves 2013 Product of the Year!!!

  81. Mandy D.

    I think the Soda Stream maker is FABULOUS. Just knowing you can make delicious, aspartame-free soda without heavy chemicals makes me so happy.

    I’ve always wanted to try it and I hope I can win it! Thank you! :)

  82. Maureen

    Choose just one product?! Oh wow, there are so many we would use…often! I’d love the chance to try the Quaker breakfast oatmeal medley.

  83. Kathy D.

    Dole Fruit Smoothie Shakes! I love smoothies and hate using my blender half of the time, I’d love to try them to see how they work and how they taste!

  84. missy r

    hands down item to try would be the soda stream – my daughter has been asking for this and i just can’t see how great it must be to want to pay the price without experiencing it first.

  85. Lori East

    I would like to try the Aquafresh toothpaste. I have been using the same toothpaste since I was a little girl. A product that I love and can’t live without is my Swiffer. I can’t image using a real mom & bucket! ;)

  86. Narissa T

    Wow! All of the products look fabulous. It is difficult to pick one above the others. I would love to try the breakfast oatmeal. I love quick, easy and delicious breakfast foods. Thank you for your blog. I enjoy everything you post. :)

  87. LUCY

    My family loves Oatmeal! We have had the Oatmeal Medleys a few times and love them!
    My favorite item that I tried and now love for 2013 is Gain dish washing liquid! It cleans great and the smell is amazing! It would be my nomination for sure!

  88. Kimberly

    So So da… ;0) would love to try the Soda Stream! Our new favorite product this year is Resolve Stain remover Pre Treat.. It works on grease! Thank you bunches for all the great info.
