Product of the Year 2016 GIVEAWAY!
Disclaimer: I was not compensated for this post.
Product of the Year USA is the largest consumer-voted award for product innovation. The winning products are selected through the votes of over 40,000 consumers in a national representative survey each year. The categories range from pet food to car care.
These products have been chosen as the best in their category and I’m sure many of us already have some of them in our own homes and use them on a regular basis. This year’s winners were announced at an entertaining dinner and awards ceremony hosted by Rachel Dratch and Scott Adsit at the Edison Ballroom. The night was filled with laughter, high-fives, applause, great music and a golden confetti shower.the bloggers in attendance even got the opportunity to pose for a picture with Cat Greenleaf (host of Talk Stoop).
