What is the ONE product or appliance
you can't live without?'

Hello, Savvy Spotters!
I was delighted (and a tad nervous) to be invited along to represent Kidspot and our Savvy Spotter mums at the 2013 Australian Product Of The Year Awards last week – I know, right! Woo hoo! But I'll admit to a moment or two of panic at the thought of jet-setting off to Sydney for it... I mean, I'm a mum working from home in a country town – sporting a messy mum-bun and slippers most days. Honestly, I had nothing to wear to something like that! Something hosted by Lisa Wilkinson, of Channel 9's TODAY Show fame?
 
Cue a quick, panicked phone call to my bestie who let me borrow a lovely black frock and whisked me away to good old Target for a pair of wedges that I could walk in without twisting an ankle. (For the record, I'm just a smidge under six feet tall, so high heels and I are NOT well-acquainted.)
 
So, off I flew to a swanky awards night – imagine! Thankfully (yes, despite the free-flowing champagne, oh boy) I held myself together, and I got to find out all the best products on the Aussie shelves, as voted by us – the Australian consumer.
 
Product of the Year is Australia’s largest consumer survey of new products, with 11,667 household shoppers surveyed to determine the winners. This year winners were chosen from 34 categories that included the most inventive and popular new products to hit the shelves in the past year, with our very own Kidspot CEO Natalie Mactier taking part in the judging panel!
 
So! Here are some of the things I learned about our favourite products:
 

 
Not surprising to us Savvy Spotters at all I'm sure, but this year's most hotly-contested award categories included household cleaning, female grooming, female skin care, health and wellbeing and prepared meals. It's plain to see that women like our Savvy Spotters are among the strongest voices when it comes to deciding the products that are truly winners on Australian shelves.
 
Many of the winning products are aimed at making family life easier, showing how loud the savvy mum's voice is really becoming! From Belvita Breakfast Biscuits (Specialty Biscuits Category) and the Breville Fast Slow Cooker (Small Appliance Category) to the Woolworths Ready-To range of ready-to-cook veggies (Prepared Meals Category) and SPC Fruit Crush-Ups (Kids Snacks Category), it was easy to see that we love products that make our life easier. My theory - so we get more quality time with our families, of course!


We also voted with our dollar, it seems, with some affordable products making the winners' list this year. ALDI Supermarkets even scored twice with two products to make the list, both ALDI Blackstone Tortilla Corn Chips and Berg Ham (4 x 100g value packs) taking out their respective Categories. We do love our ALDI.

Check out the FULL list of 2013 winners here!
 
I say well-voted, Savvy Spotters and Aussie consumers! This awards process is a fabulous way to find out the most popular products out there, and what REAL consumers just like us have voted the best. Look out for the Product of the Year logo on the winning products on your supermarket shelves this month.
