Tell ThanksGivit What You're Thankful for and be Entered to Win an iPad Mini! {$50 Visa Gift Card Giveaway}

Even though my children are still young, I already feel as though I missed out on documenting their childhood. How is that possible? I've had a camera or video camera around plenty of times, how is it that I didn't do a better job recording or photographing... not to mention sharing those fun times with our family and friends?

While I never really had an excuse before, I really don't have an excuse now thanks to the easiest way to create personal video highlight reels right on my iPhone due to Givit.

A friendly service that lets you share videos both publicly or privately, Givit is available on the web at Givit.com and as a free app for the iPhone and iPad.

Creating a personal video highlight reel on your phone with Givit couldn't be much easier. Simply tap-to-clip the best of live or recorded video, choose effects and add music, and instantly share the polished video on Facebook, YouTube or via email. Givit is the first app that captures clips live as they are shot, removing the need for later editing and making video simple, fun and highly social.

Right now Givit wants to do much more than simply make it a snap to create, edit and share your videos on your iPhone, they want to celebrate the most thankful time of year... by giving away an iPad Mini!

That's right, the lucky winner of this ThanksGivit Giveaway will receive an iPad Mini just for recording and sharing the great video moments commemorating what they have to be thankful for this Thanksgiving holiday.

To enter, anyone can simply download Givit for free, record a video of anything – kids, dog tricks, your Thanksgiving meal, etc. – and enter using the following steps:

• Create a fun video with the Givit app that shows off what you are most thankful for. Tip: try including multiple Highlighted clips to create the best video possible. Also, check out the new 'Live Highlighting' features!

• Make sure your video is between 15 and 90 seconds long and includes at least one effect (either a Motion Effect, Transition and/or Music)

• Share your Highlighted video masterpiece through the Givit app, via private share email, with Givit at ThanksGivit@givit.com (be sure to keep the 'Allow Private' and 'Allow Public' boxes checked and include your name, email address and either a Facebook or Twitter account for them to contact you if you win).

• Finally, as a last step, either Like the Givit page on Facebook OR follow them on Twitter.

Official rules can be found here and submissions will be judged on creativity and the best use of Givit's Highlighting and effects features. This giveaway ends on December 7th, 2012.

You've got nothing to lose! You can enter the ThanksGivit Giveaway as many times as you like and have fun demonstrating, through video, all the great things there are to be thankful for!
