Let me be the first to say that I hate the commercially driven need to begin celebrating every holiday six months early. It seriously drives me insane when I hear "Jingle Bells" on the store speakers while I try to plan for Halloween (in August, of course.)
But me and my fragile mental state are neither here nor there. But what does matter is that while I might tweak out because of seeing a Christmas tree display next to the Halloween costumes, I'm not above doing my part in the spirit of the holidays.
Remember my Primo water bottles review here? In case you're new, the short story is that the bottles are made from plants grown in the United States and are totally renewable.
Genius, I know.
Well, I had a genius moment of my own when I approached Primo reps about offering a berrie kickin' contest for one winner to walk with ten cases (yeah, you read that right...TEN CASES) of Primo water bottles to be used to pass out on Halloween!
Think about it: the childhood obesity epidemic is still a major factor, and every little thing we can do as parents and adults setting healthier examples is something we need to try to embrace. And what could be better than water to quench the thirst of the trick-or-treaters and their parents with eco-friendly bottled water? Just do me a favor if you win and ask that they recycle their Primo bottles, okay?

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 221 of 221Kids get way too much sweet calorie laden candy for Halloween. This is such a cool idea.
Every year my kids overdo it on the sweets and then they don't feel so well. I am going to try to have some sort of contest to see who can make their candy last longer this year.
i love the idea of giving out healthy treats for Halloween, raisins are a great choice!

I think this is a fantastic idea for a healthier Halloween. I was so saddened to hear that my 10 year old nephew had already developed cavities. I have always taken care of my teeth, and have been lucky not to have developed any myself. I have always loved Halloween, but worry that every bit of sugar can lead to those icky cavities. Winning this would give me a guilt free Halloween this year!
A bottle of water is one healthy thing that most kids woulod enjoy getting. And it's big.

I would love to hand this out...our neighborhood still does the whole candy thing, and it would be great to do something healthier, and a good example for the little ones
I've seen what kids are rewarded with around here, from classrooms to scouts - - it seems to be all about candy and sweets. Halloween in just another day, it seems. This would be a great Halloween treat for the kids in the neighborhood.
Great idea!! So much better than candy.healthy snacks are in!
What a great idea for a halloween treat! I would love it if my son got less candy and more things that were healthy.

I'd like to offer a healthier Halloween for the kids in my neighborhood because I want to encourage good eating habits.
This would be great! I always end up with leftover candy, which I do NOT need in the house. (Perpetual dieter)I've tried handing out roasted peanuts and raisins before, but I like this better.
I have not seen a winner posted yet. When will it be posted? http://www.prizey.net/ & http://berriesweetpicks.blogspot.com/
I would love to hand out water instead of the candy this Halloween! I live in the most obese state in the country & that is SAD! I would love to be one of those helping fix that problem instead of adding to it! thanks for the giveaway
