Are your kids super secret agents? Mine are. They accumulate gadgets and assure me that they have the perfect gizmo for whatever secret mission may come their way, and frankly, I’m happy for anything that gets them out and running around, rather than sitting in front of the computer or the television.
With that in mind, I present to you this week’s contest: Because the only thing cooler for a kid than a pair of binoculars is… binoculars that are also six other things. Seriously, how cool is this little gadget from Coghlan’s? It folds up small but works as binoculars, a compass, a signal mirror, a magnifying glass, and more. (Okay, I had to look up what a linen counter was. Because I didn’t realize counting linen was a thing. Maybe that function isn’t going to be quite so useful, but whatever.)
I have two of these 7-function binoculars for kids to give away this week. Want to win one? Of course you do! Please go review the contest rules and regulations, then come on back here and leave a comment on this post by 8:00 a.m. Eastern (that’s 5:00 a.m. Pacific) on Thursday, September 23rd, 2010 to be entered. Winners to be determined by random number generation and how much linen counting they need to do. Heh.
Ready? Go!
Pssst! Have you read about Save Up ’10 and voted for Want Not so that I can learn even more ways to save you money? Every click helps!
Me!!! I have a young boy who would love this!!!!
okay i had to look up linen counting, too. LOL. Count me IN!
My 7 year old’s favorite book right now is *Harriet the Spy,* so this would be wonderful. Now, I need to look up linen counting.
I don’t know anything about linen counting, but I do know that my son would LOVE these.
My 4yo Son would love i!
I hope I win…!
Perfect for my nephew!
Oh! I have four secret agents that would LOVE those! 🙂
Awesome! Thank you for the chance!
My kids would love to fight over this!
Linen counting…who knew?
ooooo … i have kiddos who love to go on african adventures in our backyard. i think these binoculars would make sighting zebras a lot easier! 😉
My six year old would think this was the coolest!
Would love to have these for my grandsons for line counting, etc.
Pretty please?
cool giveaway.
My eleven year old son is autistic and doesn’t like to do anything that requires physical effort, but is FASCINATED with anything having to do with nature and the natural world. These seven-in-one binoculars would be PERFECT for getting him out and about exploring his world!
My 8 year old spy daughter would LOVE this! Thanks, Mir!
Sounds great!!
Ooh! Can’t I win both?! Both my boys would LOVE this! Guess if I win they’ll have to learn to share 🙂
Sweet! My kids would LOVE this!

He’d be even more of a superhero with these.
We are campers and this would be an excellent addition to the camping box. Awesome!

Looks like a great addition to my boys’ “good behavior” grab bag!
how cool! thanks for offering!
This sounds cool.
very cool!
Sounds like loads of fun for my 8 year old!
This sounds like so much fun!!
My 3 year old could retire his dad’s golf scope that he currently uses as binoculars!

I want, I want! I mean, yes, please.
Wow! These are really cool. I would love to win one for my son. Thanks for the giveaway.

I have two boys who would absolutely love this!
What a great gadget!
I might need three of these – scratch that, four. One for me, too!
Very cool. Thanks!
We have lots of linen counting to do. This would be perfect.
This would be awesome for my daughter…although she may have to pry it out of her dad’s hands!
A GREAT gift for my nephews! 🙂
Oh, do I have a five year old girl that NEEDS this! And better throw one in for her daddy as well.
Sounds great.
This looks very cool!
I’d prefer if it was a linen folder but a counter will work I suppose.
This looks like so much fun.
I’d love to win a set of these. The only hard part is then deciding which child gets them.
What? Kids are supposed to get off the couch. This is certainly going to shake things up at my house. Binoculars would sure help. You’re so pretty!
Me please !
I have a four year-old who would really dig this!

My sons (11 and 8) would love these binoculars. Both of my boys have an interest in astronomy and science and would love to have a set of these binoculars.

Lots of little boys ’round here who would love this. Though probably not for linen counting…

Oh, my kids would love this so much! Thank you!

We just went to the Spy Museum in DC and we didn’t see anything like this…
My 7 year old daughter would love them!

Not sure how useful the linen counting would be, but the kid I have in mind would love everything else.
Sounds like some nice outdoor fun!

Perhaps my nephew can hone his linen counting skills if I win.
Sounds fun.
Counting linen is totally a respectable hobby. THanks, Mir!
Those are totally cool. Thanks!
My son would love these!

My super sleuth daughter would love these!
I’m not going to lie….my husband would like these as much as the 5 y/o. Great when they go geo-caching

Is a linen counter something you use to see if you need to buy new sheets?
Either way, my kids would love some cool binoculars!
These sound fun! Thanks.

Totally awesome – my girl would LOVE these!
My kids would love this. Thanks, Mir!

My sons would be really excited if I win.
My daughter has a ton of spy gear and she would LUV this!
Perfect for my 6-year-old Tiger Cub little boy!
My boys would go crazy for this. And they are 11 & 8. Best imaginary play kids ever. This could help in creating their next scenario. Thanks Mir!
Maybe I could get my compass back… or maybe I’d just keep this one for myself – kid doesn’t care about the thread count of the sheets, but I do 🙂
This would be great for my son who is in cub scouts!
ooh sounds awesome!! My kids love to explore!!
We are all about the super sneaky spying and general shenanigans at my house…until the girls figure out that they can use those powers *against me* of course. 🙂
Thanks for such a cool contest!
I think my little Aspie would totally dig this. 🙂
Cool, thanks Mir!
My son will be turning 5 the 26th and he woould love to have these. He is fasinated with gadgets.
Am I allowed to say that I want one of these? No? I promise to share it with my 7 year old…
I need these to spy on my kids. 🙂
My oldest would LOVE this!
Oooooohhh.. my kids would probably fight my husband over it. So worth it. That is one cool gadget!
Oooh, I can spy on the neighbors, oops, I mean my son can watch birds!
My grandson would love to have these. Would it be okay to use them first?
I have the perfect nine year old nephew in mind for these!
This would make a young boy VERY happy!
YES!
I have two kids who would love those. Thanks!
While driving today, I watched a huge crane fly overhead… and POOP. How much cooler would it have been to watch that crane take an inflight crap through binoculars?
my daughter would LOVE this!
My twins would love this!
Fun stuff! Thanks! Jessica
Yes please!
Me, me, me! (Kinda says it all, right?)
I have several grandchildren that would love to play with this “gaget”.
how fun!!
Two of my boys would love these! And while I do not have a “pitiful stoned-doggie picture” to sway your mind my way, I will tell you that I have had very little sleep over the past weeks because i have been super busy working, and caring for my three boys (did I mention i have 3 (!) boys (!!)), and a dog (who has all of her teeth – sorry! – but who has arthritis and makes a really sad puppy face when my youngest son “mistakes” her for a stuffed animal), and two of the boys have had colds after only two days of school, and…oh, and my next door neighbor had rats in his front yard who kept running in front of our house (and did I mention I have a rodent phobia?)…so well, if none of these things (which are all actually true!) make me the winner, maybe I could still get the cool “binoculars that are also six other things” because…well, I read all (well, most…or at least 2) of your blogs! 🙂
Would love it!
Would love to win this.
awesome!
This would be a great Christmas present for my son.
A 4 yr olds idea of heaven
Looks fun
My kids would love this! Thanks for the chance!!
