You are invited to Treasure Hunt House

This month, we’ve got a competition prize that we think the kids will love! Treasure Hunt House is a newly-published, hardback book that will make the perfect Christmas present for inquisitive boys & girls who love to read and explore.

No ordinary children’s book, Treasure Hunt House is lavishly illustrated by Becca Stadtlander and involves solving riddles and finding hidden answers concealed behind over 50 flaps.

Author Kate Davies leads the reader around Great-Aunt Martha’s sprawling old house, room by room, on a journey where they learn about history, geography, science and the arts. Discover facts about fashion and food, literature and transportation.

Like all good mystery stories, there’s a twist in the ending… but we won’t give it away here!

To enter, comment below letting us know if you’ve started any of your Christmas shopping yet and if you have, tell us what you’ve bought! (Please try not to simply answer ‘yes’ or ‘no’).

[Many thanks to Lincoln Children’s Books for the review copy]

Win a canvas laptop messenger bag from Estarer

It’s the start of September and that always means one thing – back to school! How do you fancy winning a brand new messenger bag from Estarer to carry all your new school gear? If your school days are long behind you, you can always use it for work or for travel – it’s such an adaptable carry all.

There’s oodles of space – the messenger bag is roomy with numerous internal & external compartments of different shapes & sizes… ample room to store a 15-inch laptop, phone, wallet/purse, papers, books & binders, pens etc.

It’s made of thick canvas, with metal zips, leather-like trim and Velcro fastening for the reinforced front flap – all good quality materials. It has a thick, canvas, adjustable shoulder strap; slots for pens & pencils and pockets for credit & debit cards. There’s even a little reinforced hole to thread your earbuds through!

Have a look at Estarer’s product page on Amazon for many more of its features and specifications. We’re so impressed by the messenger bag that Justin will be taking it as one of his two dedicated carry-on flight bags on our upcoming foreign holiday.

If you’d like one of these bags yourself, or want to give it to someone who would, simply enter leaving a response in the comments section below. What’s the first thing you make sure you put in your hand luggage when going abroad (in addition to your passport and tickets obvs!)?

These maps are Awesome!

The lovely folks at Awesome Maps have sent us one of their… well, awesome wall maps. Based between Bali and Berlin, they produce high quality illustrated world map posters that they hope are informative as well as beautiful. You too can own one, as this month’s competition gives you the chance to win a paper map of your choice from their range. And even better news, there are three chances to win and our comp is open to everyone around the globe!

Awesome Maps explains:

The kinds of map we create vary from an illustrated surf guide that shows the world’s best spots to catch a wave complete with information on seasons, wave types, and difficulty, to a scratch-off bucket list map, to a black and white line map filled with patterns for you to colour in!

We chose a copper coloured map of the world. It swiftly arrived – in its lovely packing tube – and we had it framed and mounted by a great local company nearby – Abacus of Mytholmroyd. (They’ve framed lots of vintage posters and paintings for us over the years and we highly recommended them).

Regular readers of our blog will know that we love our metallic highlights when it comes to home décor, so this particular map was an obvious choice for us.

They have a huge range to choose from so we’re sure that you’ll find something you like. They do travel maps, activity maps, colouring maps… all kinds of maps. Check out their website and see!

The maps are printed on very good quality paper and have lovely detailing. You can have them framed or suspended from hanging bars and bulldog clips – even pinned to notice boards etc.

We’ve not decided on a final position for our map as yet, but it looks pretty good above our bed… and, as you can see from the photographs, a dark grey wall certainly is the perfect backdrop for this particular map.

Have you got the perfect spot for one? If so, get entering. We love ours, we’re sure you will too! To be in the running to be one of 3 winners, tell us which map you’d choose from their website. And remember, this month’s giveaway is open internationally!
