Xmas Giveaway Extravaganza worth $420

fairy door

I love books! My daughter loves books! Books are part of  our bed time ritual, literally for all of us. And so, it goes without saying, I am so excited to have so many wonderful products to giveaway. With the lead up to Christmas… these prizes are just great for gifts… young and old!

So here it goes… ready???

1 x The Yoga Ogre book by Peter Bently valued at $19.99

the yoga ogre

Ogden the Ogre was worried one night.
“My jim-jams have grown far too short and too tight!
How has my tum got so terribly wide?
I only eat twelve meals a day,” Ogden sighed.

This is such a funny story of one Ogre’s journey to find the perfect sport that suits him. Finding the perfect sport for a big, bumbling ogre isn’t quite as simple as it may seem. From yoga, to soccor to running, Ogden is trying his very best with the help of his friends.

I have one book to give away valued at $19.99

4 x Family Passes worth $60 each to the Australian National Maritime Museum (Total Value $240)

Pirates take over the museum in preparation for Pirates! adventure land.

A band of pirate scoundrels have descended on the National Maritime Museum. When visiting Pirates! adventure land kids can don their cutlasses and best eye patch and transform themselves from landlubbers to fearless buccaneers, complete with their own pirate name.

There’s a big Spanish galleon to explore, a cannon to fire and even a spooky encounter with the ghost of pirate leader Blackbeard in the captain’s cabin.

And this is just one experience you and the kids can enjoy at the museum.

You can click here to check out more activities and programs happening at the museum.

1 x The Great Snortle Hunt book by Claire Freedman valued at $19.99

On a hill bumpy-steepy, there’s a house scary-creepy,
And it’s said that a Snortle lives there,
Now nobody’s been, so nobody’s seen,
But Mouse whispers, “Come, if you dare!”

All kids love adventure. Take them on a night-time Snortle hunt with Mouse and his friends. You never know what they may find…

I have one book of The Great Snortle Hunt to giveaway valued at $19.99

 1 x Sangenic Nappy Wrapper by Closer to Nature valued at $75.

Ok, so seriously, there is nothing worse then smelly nappies in a room. Nothing worse! And this little baby saves the day by sealing each nappy and killing %99 of germs on contact. The result… a clean and fresh room! No more smelly room!

And the extra bonus is that it can hold up to a week’s worth of used nappies. Because who wants to go to the bin every day to empty the nappy bucket, while you have a feeding baby, a toddler who constantly needs you, a baby who you are trying to get to sleep…. you get my gist.

Sangenic Nappy Wrapper

This is every new mum’s essential item to have as it just takes the stress out of nappy changing and cleaning the room. Anything to make it just that little bit easier is a bonus in my opinion!

And buying refills is easy as most baby stores will have them. Or you could be like me and go online to shop for them…

You can find out more about this Sangenic Nappy Wrapper and other fabulous products by going to the from Closer to Nature website.

And I have one to give away. Worth $75 each.

1 x Finlee and Me Fairy Door valued at $44.95

Let your child walk into a world filled with imagination and creativity.

fairy door

Attach your special Fairy Door low on a wall, high on a shelf or in another secret place inside your home. Once your Fairy Door is attached, the fairies will know how to use it to come in and out.

But shhh…. fairies only come out at night and will only leave a special surprise for special children. They simply attach on the wall, or on a shelf and once attached, the fairies can come out and play.

This is a great little concept by Finlee and Me as it not only encourages imagination and creativity, but can be used as an alternative way for rewarding good behaviour, port training, or other difficult childhood stages. It really is a wonderful concept.

I have one of these gorgeous little fairy doors to give away, valued at $44.95

Check out the other wonderful products they have and be sure to like them on Facebook too.

 1 x That’s What I’d Do book by Jewel valued at $19.99

That's What I'd Do

Award-winning singer-songwriter Jewel is releasing her first picture book. Be one of the first people to grab one of these fabulous books, which also includes a CD of the lullaby.

Inspired by her song, What I’d Do, the goal of the book was to teach her son, Kase (and other children) about rhyming at an early age. “I’m really excited for moms to get to sit down and read this to their babies because it’s really a devotion for lyrics,” Jewel explained.

I have one of these beautiful books to give away valued at $19.99

    What a wonderful giveaway!

    I would just LOVE to receive the fairy door! For many reasons but the main two being that 1. It was on my list of presents to buy for my Daughter for Christmas but I have already spent my budget and so it was going to have to wait until her birthday and 2. My Daughter is such a girly girl but is surrounded by little boyfriends, I have wanted to get her something that can encourage her inner fairy princess to come out and play a little bit more!

  • Virginia Mason

    The Sangenic Nappy Wrapper would certainly do,
    to cover the smell of my bub’s number one’s and two’s!
    A sleek looking unit that would fit next to my table,
    and would mean easy change and disposal of nappies then back to their cradle!

    My babies love avocado – by itself, dipped with vegetables or spread on their faces.
