Day 14 of 12 Days of Carlee's Christmas

Thanks so much for stopping by CarleeMcDot.com today. Whether you've been following along on my journey since I started this blog TEN YEARS AGO or you stopped by for the first time today - WELCOME!

And no matter how long you've been visiting, you picked an AMAZING time to pop in because we're celebrating my #12DaysOfCarleesChristmas {read my post announcing this series HERE if you don't know what I'm talking about}.


Today is Day 14 of my #12DaysOfCarleesChristmas! And the prize today is pretty FAN-FREAKIN'-TASTIC! Although, to be honest, all of the prizes are AMAZEBALLS! If I could enter my own giveaways I'm pretty sure I would enter each and every one of them in this series because they are just that awesome.

Up for grabs today are: 14 NATHAN MagStrobe Lights.


For today, DAY FOURTEEN, fourteen winners will be selected, each winning a NATHAN MagStrobe light.

I have a ton of NATHAN products - from a hydration vest to handhelds to travel water bottles and more. They are helping athletes run stronger and longer (and I know they're an asset that I'm thankful for on a daily basis in my life)!


Although NATHAN tends to be known for their hydration gear, I love that they have been releasing some AMAZING lights and reflective gear (especially since the sun seems to set at about 3pm nowadays). I have a few of their lights already (the StrobeLight LED Clip that I got after my first Ragnar because it works perfect for a light on your back and the Lightbender RX Lighted Armband that has become a staple in morning and evening activities to make sure others see me) and from everything I've seen thus far, I know they only offer quality products.


So when NATHAN wanted to join in on a BONUS day and offered up FOURTEEN Mag Strobe LED Clip Lights I knew you all would be over the moon! These things may appear small, but, man, they are mighty! This super-lightweight clip-on combines LED strobes with hi-viz reflective materials for added safety when you’re out at night. It is a featherweight reflective clip-on with a built-in strobe light. The magnetic flap clips on anywhere. It is battery powered, with 45+ hours of burn time {Steady on – 35+ hours, Fast Strobe – 40+ hours, Slow Strobe – 45+ hours}.

Seven winners will receive the Safety Yellow/ Black and seven winners will receive the Cockatoo/ Bluestone

Entering this giveaway (along with the other #12DaysOfCarleesChristmas giveaways) is easy-peasy! Simply use the Rafflecopter widget listed below on the giveaway blog post and cross your fingers. Some entries are available daily so I'd HIGHLY recommend entering early and often. (Shoot, I would even go as far as suggesting you set an alarm to remind you to come back to this page every 24 hours so you can take advantage of as many entries as possible!)

Now, the nitty gritty details... All entries are verified, so please make sure to do whatever the required action for the entry is or it will be disqualified. I would hate for you to miss out on winning due to a technicality, so if you are going to click the option, make sure you do whatever it asks or a new, random winner will be selected in your place.

Also, this giveaway will last seven days, with the winners being picked (and notified) on the eighth day. The winners will have 24 hours to reply to the congratulations email from me to claim their prize. That means, for this giveaway, it will end on December 20th at 11:59pm PST and the FOURTEEN winners will be chosen on December 21st. 
[PS I will be traveling for the holidays when these winners are selected, and will not be packing all the goodies in my carry-on, so the prizes will be shipped once I return home at the end of the month. Hope that's okay with the winners!]

And, finally, the winners must have a US mailing address. International shipping seems to cost an arm and a leg these days, and customs is a major headache, so to make it easier (and cheaper) on the brands who have offered up their products, the winners must live in United States of America (or at least have an address we can ship to within the US).

With that said, BEST OF LUCK TO EVERYONE WHO ENTERS! And don't forget to stop back tomorrow to see what is up next in my #12DaysOfCarleesChristmas (I promise you do NOT want to miss out on any of these giveaways!)!

  5. I have a flashlight that has a strap that wraps around my hand. I'm generally not a fan of carrying things, but the strap makes it so I don't necessarily have to hold on to the light. In addition to lighting the path in front of me, it also has a blinking red light on the back. I also have a light that clips on to the brim of my hat and a reflective vest. I'm not messing around with running in the dark :)

    ReplyDelete
  44. I love running outside during the winter, but it's so dark in the Midwest. I wear clips if it's dark (but I lost one last year) or my brightest clothes during the days. With everything so grey and brown I want drivers to see me.
