Anniversary Bash Finale: Custom Flip MinoHD from CafePress {Giveaway}

{This giveaway is now closed. Thanks to those who entered!}

It's the age old question: if your house was on fire and you could only save one or two (material) things, what would they be?

It's funny to look back and see the ways that my answer has changed over the years. When I was younger, my prize possession was probably the stuffed teddy bear I have had since I was baby. After I was married, I might have named my wedding dress, all packed away in its box (although what I would have done with it after saving it, I'm not sure).

But now? Now it's the irreplaceable items that I would reach for first - the photographs and video from my daughters' first years of life. The pictures bring back so many memories and the video? I can't help but smile watching Big Sister E take her first steps or listen to Little Sister B's baby laughter. And as much as a regular video camera is great, nothing has compared to being able to pull out my handy, portable Flip MinoHD camcorder to catch those special moments.

The image that comes to mind when I say that is probably something like this, isn't it?There is absolutely nothing wrong with having a Flip MinoHD that looks like this. Not a thing. But... what if it could be ultra-thin, pocket-sized, state of the art, have a built-in USB connector, excellent video quality and, while including the numerous great features that Flip digital cameras are known for, look like this instead?

I'm particularly fond of those cute girls there in the middle.
