Bratz Doll with Radio Controlled Hoverboard Christmas present Giveaway (age 5+)

I have an extra Bratz Christmas Present giveaway that I wasn't expecting. As well as the InstaPets, Bratz have just released Radio Controlled Bratz Doll Hoverboards! These are brand new and I haven't even seen one in person, but they look pretty cool...


The Hoverboards are available with Cloe and Yasmin dolls, and just like a real hoverboard, the Bratz Hoverboard goes forward, backward, and does a full 360° turn, while the adjustable doll stand enables your doll to stand on the hoverboard while it's in motion.

Bratz InstaPets Doll And Pet Christmas Present Giveaway (age 3+)

Bratz Dolls were a regular feature in our house up until a few years ago. One of our girls had several, and a house, and played with them for hours. They actually look a lot more like real humans now, but they're just as sassy and modern, and just as popular. The latest range are the Bratz InstaPets, and I have one to give away to one of my readers...


The Bratz take their style inspiration from anywhere, and that includes their kawaii cute spirit animals. There are 5 different dolls, each with their own pet and matching accessories.

Lumie Starter 30 Bodyclock Christmas 2016

Lumie understand that we can't always just wake up instantly, they appreciate how hard it can be on our poor tired souls. Especially in winter, to have time to wake up slowly and naturally is often impossible. The Lumie Starter 30 Bodyclock wakes you by increasing the light gradually over 30 minutes. Recreating a natural dawn helps to keep your sleep cycle on track, boosting mood, energy and productivity levels all day.


At the other end of the day, your Lumie Bodyclock light also recreates dusk, to relax you and settle you for a better night's sleep...

BAEBOX Monthly Subscription Box For Tweens And Teens Giveaway

BAEBOX is a new monthly subscription box created with growing-up girls in mind. There are two different boxes, the Tween Box aimed at age 8-12 and the Teen Box for 13-15. BAEBOX have kindly offered one of their Subscription Boxes (and it'll be the Christmas box!) for one of my readers in my Christmas Present Giveaways.


My daughter is 16, so just over the target age range, but we've both been excited about BAEBOX sending us a selection of items you'll find in the Teen Boxes.... The box was adult shoebox sized, however it's amazing what you can fit into it...

Sheaffer VFM Pen and Notebook Christmas Present Giveaway

Sheaffer are incredibly well known for producing excellent quality writing equipment since 1912. One of the most reliable names in refillable ink pens and ballpoints, they have offered to give one of my readers a gorgeous VFM Ballpoint Pen and Notebook in my Christmas Present Giveaways.


I've been sent the Sheaffer VMF Ballpoint Pen in Ultra Mint, and it's beautiful. A classic yet modern colour, with incredibly bright and shiny nickel plated metal trim, you know this is a special pen - and not only because it arrives in a very smart box. It writes really nicely, as you'd expect, and is refillable using Sheaffer Cartridges, and the case feels like silk to your fingertips.

Derwent Unwind In The Wilds Colouring Book And Coloursoft Pencils Giveaway

Adult drawing and colouring is really becoming popular, as more and more people rediscover the benefits of sitting without a screen and letting your creativity flow. Derwent have been making pencils and other drawing materials in Cumbria since 1832, and they are giving one of my readers the Christmas gift of relaxation...


The Unwind In The Wilds Colouring Book is printed on artist quality acid-free 150gsm paper. A few of the almost 90 pages have added activities, and there are hidden collections for you to find through the book.

LEGO City Fire Utility Truck Set 60111 Christmas Present Giveaway

It wouldn't be Christmas without LEGO, and they have very kindly offered one of my readers a LEGO City Fire Utility Truck Set as a prize in my Christmas Present Giveaways. This is a great set which has a lot to offer to a wide age range of builders and fans...


LEGO City is a lovely range and the Fire Utility Truck makes a complete playset when built. There are 3 minifigures, a Technician and 2 Firefighters, as well as the Fire Utility Truck itself - which has a fire hose and a trailer with an extending cherry picker. There is also an object to catch fire, in this case a TV satellite tower with a satellite dish and a utility box.

Okido Children's Magazine Christmas Giveaway age 3-8 (2 Winners)

I like to support the underdogs, and Okido deserves support. An arts and science magazine aimed at children aged 3-8, we've had a few copies now, and my boys have always enjoyed reading it and working through the activities, even though they've never actually seen the accompanying CBeebies show 'Messy Goes To Okido'.


There are 6 issues of Okido Magazine each year, and an annual subscription costs only £19.99 by Direct Debit, or you can buy the magazines individually at £4 each. That price is very reasonable for a nice thick magazine which is crammed full. On the front of each issue it tells you what's inside "Stories, Activities, Games, Doodles, Recipe and a Poem".

Today is #HugABearDay With Hallmark Cards And Gifts

Today 7th November is Hug A Bear Day! My boys might like their rough and tumble, but who doesn't love a hug? All mammals hug and snuggle, and humans are particularly good at it. Each hug can lengthen your potential lifespan, lower your blood pressure and relieve stress. It's also a great way to show someone you care.


Other people aren't always around, and teddy bears as we know them have been an important part everyone's life since the early 1900's, although there's plenty of evidence to suggest soft cuddly toys have been protecting children while they sleep for the last 2000 years or more.

Cley Designs £50 Jewellery Voucher Giveaway

We recently reviewed a gorgeous handmade necklace from Cley Designs, which is personalised and will be given to my daughter on her birthday. They make gorgeous bespoke jewellery, and not only add letters and numbers, but also your own footprints, handprints and even fingerprints, to create a really precious gift with a lot of meaning.


Cley Designs make every item in the UK by hand, and personalisation is to order, but our necklace arrived less than a week after ordering. You can read my full Cley Designs Jewellery Review here...
