Back to School Giveaway
This giveaway is going to be a little different from what you are used to here at 5 Minutes for Mom. But, believe me, it’s worth it.

We recently teamed up with Ciao, a multi-million-strong online community that critically reviews and rates millions of products and services for the benefit of its members and users.
Ciao began in Europe, in 1999, and has become Europe’s largest comparison shopping site to date. And in 2008, a beta version of Ciao.com launched in the United States.Ciao Logo

Not only can you browse from millions of consumer reviews and shop online for the best products and prices, but you can also help other shoppers by creating your own reviews on electronics products that you own and use. It’s those accurate and honest reviews from regular people that have made Ciao.com the reliable go-to source.

Ciao is also a great place to connect with other shoppers and get the latest info on the “hot” new technology products (like the latest iPhone, Nintendo DS games and laptops).

And to thank you for your time, Ciao will pay you $1.00 for each qualifying review you contribute. Are you trying to now figure out how many gadgets are in your home that can earn you a buck?

It’s quick and easy to join. Not only does Ciao want to help you earn some cash, shop the best prices, and make the best decision before purchasing a product, but they also want to give one of you a Sony Cybershot Digital Camera.

We also thought that a Sony Cybershot Digital Camera would be a great back to school item. How many of you dress your child in their best outfit, stand them by your front door, and make them pose for a picture on the first day of school? Come on, admit it, you know you do.

Wouldn’t it be wonderful to take that picture with your new Sony Cybershot Digital Camera? Thanks to the Sony Cybershot’s smile shutter feature, you don’t have to worry about having to take five pictures before finally getting one with your child’s adorable smile. With the smile shutter feature on, the camera will automatically take the picture as soon as a smile is detected.

So, here’s what you have to do to win:

First, in three easy steps, sign up for Ciao and submit a review for a product you own and use.

Once you have submitted your review and joined the Ciao community, come back to this post and comment by linking to your Ciao profile or providing your Ciao Username.

It will be quick and easy. And hey, you’ll earn a buck in the process. And you could be our winner in the Sony Cybershot back to school giveaway.

The winner will receive a Sony Cybershot DSC-W120 Digital Camera in their choice of color (black, silver, pink or blue). The contest is open to both U.S. and Canada. With the help of Ciao, we will select a winner at random, from the commentors who provided their Ciao Username or link and submitted a review on Ciao.com.

Good Luck!

  2. Oh my! I really need this! With my two kids, my step-son’s activities and all the swim lessons teach….everyone would get to enjoy the pictures I take!

  3. My husband is deploying soon to Afghanistan and it would be nice to give him our old camera to take and for us to get a nice new one to capture moments while he is gone.

    Great giveaway!

  5. I really need a new camera – with 6 kids, we need to take a lot of pics before the kids grow up too fast.

  8. This is great as my old Sony Camera just died and this is the model I was looking at! My user name is megmunson and I reviewed my Ipod Nano…thanks!

  11. Someone stole our camera from our hotel room during our honeymoon a few weeks ago while we were at dinner. Unfortunately all of our wedding and trip photos were lost, but with this camera we won’t miss out on more memories and moments. We are tapped out right now and cannot buy a new camera, so this would be a perfect thing for us. Thanks for offering this, no matter who the winner is.

  13. I STILL don’t have a digital camera. I’m so behind on the times. I hope that I can win this to capture some great pics of my toddler and newborn. Thanks! 😀

  39. Not having kids yet, we don’t tend to take a lot of pictures. However, we are waiting to be matched for our adoption and we are so excited. I have been thinking that it is time to get a really good camera so we are ready when the time comes. Thanks for the opportunity.

  41. Wow-this would be a great combo with the printer, again nothing is more precious then memories and lots of pictures of your kids and family. Not to mention all the extra curricular activities that your kids my be in. What a great way to keep the memories flowing.

Thanks so much just for having a chance even if I don’t win. Thank You!

  57. What a smart camera – I don’t have my own camera, I buy those $4.99 ones when their own sale for $3.99. Wouldn’t I feel special if I won the Sony Cybershot Digital Camera. I could take some really neat pictures of my seven grandchildren and their school accomplishments.

    My daughter is getting married aug 23, son is having his first child sept 7 and neice is getting married sept 13. So I sure could use this prize as I have no up to date camera, ours is the old sony that uses floppy disc but have no way to use as we no longer have any floppy drives on our pc. Thank you for your time, effort and energy to provide us with these contests to win great prizes.

  71. Don’t have one. Need one. Maybe if I had my own digital camera I would no longer have to ask how to operate one every time someone asked me to take a picture for them. You could save me from being digital camera challenged. How’d you like that?

  73. I would love to have a new camera! Ours is about kaput plus it’s for work anyways – need a good family cam!:)

  77. my username is misaac1 and I reviewed the Sony BRAVIA KDL-40Z4100. Thanks for the great contest!

  80. Would love to have a new Cybershot. Mine is really old and I could use an updated version to take pictures of my new grandchild.

  81. My username is sthatcher and I did a review on Kodak EASYSHARE C633. I could really use a new and improved digital camera the one I use through work is not as high a quality as I need to photography my student’s artwork nor mine personally.

  84. username:aliangel and I reviewed my I-Pod Nano.

    Ahhhh a new camera for school. I am the mom that always has her camera and takes the pics of all the kids. The other moms love to get copies of the pics in thier kids folders at the end of the day! My camera is so old it turns on and off by it’s self!

  85. ok, gotta tell ya, i hopped on over to cia and have registered, but the site must be overwhelmed because their server keeps ‘not responding’ every time i try to activate my account. i really want to be a member there because i’m the kind of gal that when i go to buy a big ticket or electronic item, i research, research, research and i prefer actual consumer opinions. so i will persevere and get activated and post opinions. here’s the kicker: while at the last night of ‘twilight camp’ yesterday, my current point and shoot decided it didn’t want to work. it no longer focuses. all week i kept forgetting it when we went off to camp, (i volunteered there) and when i finally remembered it, it didn’t work. sigh. i need a new camera.

  86. Yes, count me in for wanting one of these! I LOVE to take pictures and digital is the way to go, especially since all my family is in NJ and I am in OH. I e-mail pictures in no time instead of waiting to have them developed.

  90. This would be great for taking pictures of my new grand baby in NH and another one in TN

  91. username is nor_lou

    I like the Ciao.com site a lot. Neat idea to get advice from others like me instead of hearing it from a “tech” person in the store that often recommends features that I don’t use.

    Fun to get paid $1.00 per review, but I won’t quit my day job. 🙂 I’m going to review more stuff tonight.

    Thanks for sharing!

  155. Thanks for sharing this nice site. I like that it’s free, unlike Consumer Reports and you get an honest opinion.

    I reviewed a recently purchased Sunbeam Bread Maker here:

  156. Oh dear. I was about to comment and then I saw that little picture icon of the gator tooth remover. Eek!

    Is that real or a joke?

    Don’t tell me, on second thoughts I really don’t want to know.
    Cheers
