Disclosure: I am participating in the Verizon Boomer Voices program and have been provided with a device and six months of service in exchange for my honest opinions about the product. #VZWVoices #Boomer
It is really hard to believe, but it has been six months since I became a Brand Ambassador for Verizon. Back in June, I traveled to Chicago to learn about some fantastic devices and programs offered by Verizon. I was more than happy to blog and tweet about my new phone, my new FitBit One and other items.
I really fell in love with my Motorola Droid Razr Maxx HD – specifically because of the camera and the ease of use of the phone. Then, about a month ago, I was supplied with a Samsung Galaxy Note 3, and well, let’s say I am head-over-heels in love with this “phablet.” It is a wonderful phone, and a wee bit smaller than a 7″ tablet, so it makes reading on my Kindle app much easier – no reading glasses needed for me! And let’s just say the camera is amazing, and the stylus pen allows me to use the phone as a note pad. I have scrapbooks and notes set up. The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 is an amazing piece of technology.
I am so sad that this Brand Ambassador program is drawing to a close. I have met and worked with so many talented #Boomer bloggers. And the staff at ComBlu and Verizon couldn’t have been more supportive or generous if they tried! Truly, a wonderful group of people.
What has really amazed me is how much I have learned in six months! In addition to really learning how a smart phone can enhance and help a blogger’s life, I found myself becoming more interested in how technology can fit into so many aspects of our lives – especially as “Boomers.” There are devices, like “Sure Response” than can assist in the care of aging parents. There are apps for so many areas of our lives: banking, insurance, grocery, health and fitness, shopping – even apps for the NFL and NHL (Go Wings!). I learned how to use Rafflecopter and see the power social media – all in less than a year.
Which brings me to my blog party…
Part of being a Brand Ambassador for this program was to host a few parties. A fellow blogger and I hosted a digital party in October, and now, I am hosting a blog party on my own! Sorry that I don’t have refreshments to serve, but I do have a few “real” gift bags, courtesy of Verizon, for my virtual guests! And, there are three great prizes for three lucky people, whose names will be drawn at random.
In order to qualify to win a prize, you must be 18 years or older and be a U.S. resident with a street address (no P.O. boxes, please). I also need you leave a comment here on my blog as to why you would like to win one of these prizes, or leave a comment on my Facebook page. Those interested in being in a drawing need to leave a comment no later than 5 p.m. EST on Wednesday, December 11, 2013. Winners will be announced on my blog on Thursday, December 12, 2013.
So, now that the legal mumbo jumbo is out of the way, here are the prizes! Hope you like them!!

How amazing! I would love to win any of those amazing prizes! Thanks!
Good luck, Maggie!
I love Verizon. We had their service for a long time. I know a lot of my family still is under Verizon.
I love Verizon, too. Have had their service for years – no complaints!
I would love to win the tablet or the Mophie powerstation! I have a Mophie charger for my s3 (on Verizon, too) and it works great.
Thanks for giving a shout-out to the Mophie charger, Liz! 🙂
Great prizes being offered by the best provider of wireless communication. I have had Verizon for years and they are the best – even during the “great blackout” when they were the only ones to keep their towers operational in our area. I would love to win any one of the great prizes shown. The Ellipsis is intriguing, the Mophie would help out my when power gets low on my Motorola Droid Maxx and the Mini Jam Box is really cool.
They are great prizes, Bob! Hard to chose!!! 🙂
I think just about everyone in my family is a Verizon user…and a tech nut, so it’s hard to keep up with the latest and greatest technology. But, we sure try!!
Same here!
I’ve been wanting a cell phone but have not made the leap yet. IDK what to buy or what service! This is a really fun giveaway, hope I win!
Heidi, Verizon has several great packages. You may want to start out with a “pay as you go” phone until you can navigate around. I really like Verizon’s service – I think you would be happy with them! 🙂
Very cool prizes. Love that Verizon Ellipsis ™ 7 tablet 🙂
I agree, Jackie! That tab is way cool!
Cool! I need to win the powerstation, it’ll help out in Afghanistan.
Good luck, Bryan! ps – are you military or a contractor?
I would love to win the Mophie or the Tablet –Both would make great Christmas gifts for my husband!!
Good luck, Gwendolyn!
I would be blessed to win any of these wonderful prizes! I had been with a different carrier for over ten years and I ported my cell service to Verizon about a month ago. I am super glad that I did! The Verizon network is far superior to any of the others!
I agree, Sarah! And good luck!
What a wonderful giveaway. I have been a verizon customer for many many years.

I would love the Mophie Juice Pack Powerstation™ so many times I am out somewhere and my phone gets low on battery. Also we use Verizon’s HomeFusion as we live in an area that our only other option is satellite and well that didn’t work for us as I work online. Thank you for the giveaway!

I know Verizon would welcome you back! good luck in drawing.

Good luck 🙂
I’ve been considering switching companies for a while…. Verizon is pretty much the only company that I could switch to that has service where I live.
Verizon has great service and support! good luck in the drawing!
Thanks for the chance to win these. I love Verizon products
You are welcome! Good luck!
I would love to win! I would most likely use them as gifts for my husband and children!
Any one of the items would make a great gift!
CAN U USE IT TO READ BOOKS ON IT i love the goodie and collet stuff
It would be great for reading! Good luck in the drawing!
Great giveaway! I think I’d like to win the tablet the most, because I don’t have one and it’d be something that would really help me out in terms of being able to blog from anywhere. My Nook tablet is nice, but it just doesn’t give me the freedom the Verizon tablet would! The charger is cool too, because I could use my phone longer at things like events, and it would be great for travel (I’d even loan it to hubby when he travels). The Mini Jambox is awesome as well, and I’d give that to my hubby as a gift… he’s been wanting one of those since we heard a friend’s at the beach over the summer!
it’s hard to choose which would be “my favorite” too! I think the tablet would be great as well. You can even check your Verizon messages on it!
This would be so awesome. I have been with Verizon for a long time!
I have been with Verizon for close to ten years! Very happy with them. Good luck in the drawing!

Just got a hot tip from Still Blonde After All these Years.
Hopped over to check out your site and write up on Verizon.
I too have been a dedicated Verizon subscriber for years and have been extremely happy with the service provided. Would love to try out some of the above accessories…to help my Electronic world sparkle! Have really been praying about starting a blog in 2014.
Who knows I may get an extra nudge from above.
Start a blog! I always encourage people to write! Read some of my posts…Many were “nudges from Above.” Tell Still Blonde “thanks” from me. God bless!
This would be my Christmas present.
And what a nice gift! 🙂
I would LOVE to win! Still Blonde After all These Years sent me here! If I won, they would have a new user of their product! Would also have to teach me how to use….lol. Thanks for the chance to win!
LOL – very easy to use! Good luck in the drawing!
What an amazing giveaway. I would be thrilled to win the Ellipses. I have never had a smart phone or a tablet..I have a laptop that is ready to be put out to pasture and a dumb phone that doesn’t do a whole lot…it does take pics…really really crappy ones lol. Thanks for the opportunity. Best of luck everyone. I hope everyone has a safe and happy holiday season and a Merry Christmas.
Best of luck to you, too, and Merry Christmas!
Blog party has ended – winners to be announced on 12-12-13 in a new post! Good luck to all who entered!
