And so kicks off my month of giveaways. Otherwise known as my Spooktacular Sweepstakes! This month of October will feature tons of products. Some not new, but notable. Some new and noteworthy. And others just plain ol’ fabulous!

First up are two items – the Hamilton Beach Blender and the Cuisinart Panini Maker Press and Grill. What makes these two countertop appliances awesome?

The Hamilton Beach Blender is individually sized so it does not take up much kitchen space. It doesn’t take up much ‘room’, but there is still some powerful ‘vroom‘ to blend a shake or smoothie on the go. The blender container turns into a cup, then attach the sip cover and off you go. Great for a dorm room, busy kids on the way to school, a small office, a condo, or for busy Moms. It retails for about $15-20.

The Cuisinart Panini Press and Grill is one of those items you wonder if you really need. Until you try it and then you know you need to buy it. It gives that ‘muah’ to a tomato and mozzarella sandwich or some lip smacks to a breakfast burrito. Definitely glams up grilled cheese. The surface is non-stick for easy clean, and the top adjusts so the top will fit perfecty on top of your culinary creation, no matter how bulky it might be. It retails for around $65.

So enter to win both of these! Full rules can be found here. Contest ends at 11:59pm ET on October 31, 2014. Come back each day to see a new post and a new prize!
