My Secret Circle | Review and Giveaway

My Secret Circle™ is the first-ever secure social networking world designed for girls 8-12 and their internet-cautious parents.
Invisible to the online world, My Secret Circle™ let’s younger girls create perfectly private communities with friends, while avoiding the advertising and strangers present on other social networking sites.
Within the My Secret Circle™ world, your child can create their social circles. The My Secret Circle Access Key give your child access to journal, instant message, play games and photo share. Your child can also have access to unlimited online voice-chat with the My Secret Circle Voice-Chat Headset™.
My daughter has so badly wanted to get online, but I am so wary about that and really had to put my foot down and just say no, as much as I hated to do that because she sees that I am involved in social media and really wants to be like me. I struggled with allowing her to be just part of one social networking site, but just didn’t feel like it was time for her to online just yet. But worry no more, now there’s a fun, safe alternative that keeps both kids and their parents happy.
Global game and toymaker, Senario, has created the first-ever secure social networking world specifically for girls ages 8-12. My Secret Circle is a new plug-‘n-play product that allows girlfriends – not strangers – to hang out online, chat, blog, write journal entries, share pictures, play games and more.
It uses online access keys (USB keys) featuring proprietary technology with embedded browsers and unique ID codes. Only friends can connect by exchanging private codes. Even better, girls never need to upload personal information online, further enhancing the security of the network.
Can be found on Amazon.com and Target for $19.99.
My Thoughts
My daughter has let the whole “have to be online” thing die down since receiving this product, and through our review process we have determined that it is safe for her to be on it. And she has so much fun! Her best friend has one and together they have fun on it sharing pictures and making posts. And the best news? There are no monthly fees to pay. I like that! She really has developed a little of my sense on the whole online thing so she realizes that I just want to keep her safe and My Secret Circle does that for me. I recommend this product to everyone, tween girls would love to get this under the tree this year!
And I am happy to say that I can help give at least one girl a My Secret Circle single set (as shown above) this Christmas with the help of Senario’s donation for my Christmas Gift Guide. Please see rules below to enter today.
