Congratulations to Jared L. of West Fargo, North Dakota, for winning an Onanoff Sound Cover iPad case last week and to Richard R. of Midland, Pennsylvania, for winning a pack of MiPow Playbulb flameless candles the week before that.

Tend to lose things? Good thing you found this week's giveaway. We've got a pack of eight little Tile Bluetooth trackers that you can attach to everyday items you tend to misplace (hello phone and keys).

To find lost items within a 100-foot range by sound, you can ring them from the free corresponding Tile app. The app for iOS and Android also automatically records the last time and place it saw your goods. Oh, and if you can't access the app on your phone because it's your phone you lost, you can press any of your battery-operated Tiles to make your missing phone ring, even if it's on silent.

So how do you go about winning an eight-pack of Tile Bluetooth trackers worth $130? There are a few rules, so please don't lose sight of them.
