Learn some suggestions for how to get the most from this device below, then post your own creative tips, for a chance to win one.

Benefits of sending Tochie messages from anywhere to anyone

Limitless! That’s how I’d describe the number of ways to use a Tochie. Parents will love it: their kids will too. And of course, it could be a life-saver for seniors on their own. Even with my personal situation, where it’s just my wife and I, the Tochie would be perfect for reminders, contact me when the phone is on mute (which mine almost always is), etc. I know I’d get a lot of use from it … but I want to hear how you would use it. After all, Best Buy contests wouldn’t be very fair if I was eligible to win (given that I will be selecting the winner, haha).

I’ll suggest a scenario from my past life as a parent of young children to illustrate.

Go to bed now … wake up now … turn off your phone now

My children are adults, making the most of any lessons I imparted before they fled the nest. But several years ago, a Tochie in each child’s room would have been so useful. Schedule a message for bedtime (aka, toothbrush time, lights-out time, phones-off time). Schedule a message for mornings too. I have to admit I would have found this the most fun. Each day I’d add another message to play a minute after the previous ones I had recorded. They’d wake up to the same series of messages each morning: some inspirational, some motivational, some absolutely parental, and some just dad-joke comical. They would learn to listen through the repetition until finally they reach the new tasty tidbit of knowledge most recently added to the thread. There is no limit to the number of messages you record so I’d likely adjust the series to begin a little earlier each morning so they would not be late for school. Like I said kids would love it!

  1. It would be helpful when training the birds to talk – they would hear my voice all day long when I am out of the house.

  2. This would be great to have for appt reminders. It would be great to have 2 of them, one for my family and one for my dad.

  3. This would.be important to help me in my day to day tasks. Being a working mom and juggling with my kids, I need reminders to help me balance my work and personal life 🙂

  4. I think it would be helpful for me to have at work to remind me of upcoming meetings. Two would be great for us to have.

  5. I would use it to set reminders for kids dr’s appointments, important school dates, etc. Ideally two would be great one for the main living room and one for the bedroom

  6. 2 would be great
    1 for inspirational positive quotes throughout the day
    1 for my elderly father to remind him of different things throughout the day

  7. The The Tochie Personal Voice Aide would be very helpful to remind us of upcoming appointments. Thank you for the opportunity to win this fantastic giveaway

  8. This would be great if kids get home after school before you. Can let them know what needs to be done until you get home. I would love one for my in-laws as well.

  9. With age our memory is not as sharp as it was in our early years annd it seems in todays world there is so much more to remember. It would be a greatt product to help me remember the things that I sometime forget like appointments, phone calls, garbage days.

  10. I find that with each passing year, my memory gets worse and worse! I can make lists for myself, put reminders on my phone….but I still forget things. With a device such as this, I would leave personal memos and reminders for myself “Take out the chicken to defrost!” being an example. I would love to give one to my mother and my mother-in-law. Thank you!

  11. Good for reminders when you are going out – don’t forget – wallet, mask, sanitizer, keys, etc. I’m so bad at this haha

  12. Seems like a great way to regularily give a shout-out to my Dad rather than always missing his phone calls.

  13. If I won, I would give the Tochie to my father who is suffering with alzheimers. I could leave him reminders for when I am not there. Take out the garbage, dr’s appointment today, etc. these little reminders would be a HUGE help.

  14. I would probably put a reminder to tell me when to get to bed to prevent myself from staying up too late. I would probably need 2, 1 for me and 1 for my parents.

  15. As an artist my hands are often full of paint, glue, stain, glitter, clay… It would be so useful to have something handsfree to keep track of my appointments, alarms, communications, etc
