I would love these for my family. They'd be perfect for when the kids are outside playing. We have a set of toy walkie talkies, but they are full of static and it's hard to understand what they are saying most of the time. But my husband would probably get the most use out of them, he's a hunter and would be very helpful for him and his hunting buddy to take with him. Thanks for the chance to win!

I would love to win because we live on 100 acres and we don't always have cell phone reception. So, if the hubs is out walking around the property, I usually can't get in touch with him until he decides to come back in. With the Talkabouts we could stay in touch if there is something going on with the kids at the house while he is out! That would be fantastic! Thanks so much for the chance to win!!
