Giveaway #744 : Win a Grumbalina bundle - closing 8/1

I have partnered up with children’s author Karina Frederiks, who has recently launched the first in a series of new books: The Tales of Grumbalina and Friends. The six-part series looks at a young fairy growing up and dealing with the delights and stresses of innocence. 

Together we are excited to be able to provide you the opportunity to win one of the very first exclusive copies of the book, alongside a range of exciting and fun merchandise. The bundle includes a jumper of your choice, a children's t-shirt, a fairy tote bag and a copy of the book. There will also be a runner-up prize of just the book.

The series centres around the magical world of Pufftown, where the fairies live. It is a place of spells and magic where anything is possible and yet there are hurdles along the way that they must face: lack of motivation, jealousy and sometimes failure. However, together, the fairies learn valuable life lessons in facing these hurdles and discover the true meaning of friendship, perspective and rooting for the underdog. 

In the first book, Grumbalina and the Day Everything Changed, now available to buy online, readers meet Grumbalina and the other fairies and learn about their world of spells and magic. The school year has just started again after summer and Grumbalina doesn't want to go back. Not only does she struggle with her spells, she doesn't have any friends at school. But everything is about to change very quickly.

 This new series will take your children on a magical adventure and will resonate with readers young and old, with valuable lessons of friendship and growing up.

Giveaway #743 : Win a £49 Trendhim voucher - closing 20/11

So Halloween is behind us and we're finally into November. That usually means that I start looking at ideas for Christmas shopping, rummaging through the festive aisles in the supermarkets and high street shops, going to Christmas markets and grabbing anything that catches my eye as a gift for all the special people in my family. This year will be different, there's no doubt about it. I'm assuming we'll still be in lockdown so I doubt if I'll get to see my parents and sister, so Christmas shopping this year is all about finding things that can be ordered online and delivered relatively cheaply. Finding gifts for girls and women is not that hard - make-up, perfume, bath bombs, chocolate and candles always seem to go down well - but it's always much harder to find presents for men. This year, I've discovered a great place to go - Trendhim !

Trendhim is a Scandinavian company, based in Denmark, and they will happily deliver to the UK, as well as many other countries - one less thing to worry about when Christmas shopping for people who live abroad ! They have all sorts of accessories to appeal to all sorts of men - bags, wallets and watches for the down-to-earth guy who likes travelling, bow ties, tie clips and braces for the chic businessman, beard care, earrings and rings for the young, tattoo-loving hipster. When I went for a browse, I kept seeing things I'd never have thought of that were perfect for those hard-to-buy-for gift receivers. I'll show you a few of my top picks.

This duffel bag is great for travelling as a single man or for sharing with your wife or girlfriend for a special weekend away. It looks timelessly chic.

Who says bobble hats are just for kids?! These ones look very cool and are guaranteed to keep you nice and warm in the winter, whatever the weather throws at us.

Watches are always a great gift for the special man in your life and this one looks great, with or without tattoos !

They have so much more to choose from though, so head over to have a look at trendhim.co.uk. Shipping is free if you spend over £29 (and it's only £4 if you spend less than that).

But ... I have even better news ! How about winning a voucher to go and spend £49 on their lovely website ?! Fill in your entries on the Rafflecopter widget below !

Giveaway #742 : Win a Spooky Tales 3-movie collection - closed - winner Keith Hunt

Halloween is almost here - woohoohoo ! (That was a scary ghost voice, not a big whoop of excitement by the way !) It's going to be a bit of a strange year though, what with coronavirus rules and lockdown and face masks making trick-or-treating a less than appealing option. How about making this year different, buying in your own sweets and maybe baking up some spooky treats then having a movie-fest at home instead ? You could even dress up to watch the movies in the comfort of your own home ! Well, if I've convinced you, I have the perfect viewing option - Universal Pictures Home Entertainment have released some fabulous kids' Halloween collections, including this Spooky Tales 3-movie option.

Start off with everyone's favourite ghost, CASPER. 'Ghost therapist' Dr. James Harvey and his daughter Kat arrive at drafty, old Whipstaff Manor. Its greedy owner, Carrigan Crittendon, has hired Dr. Harvey to exorcise the house's apparitions: a friendly but lonely young ghost named Casper, who's just looking for a friend, and his outrageous uncles Stretch, Stinkie and Fatso (The Ghostly Trio). If the plan works, she and Dibs, her partner-in-slime, can get their hands on the manor's fabled treasure. Meanwhile, Casper has found a kindred spirit in Kat, but The Ghostly Trio will not tolerate 'fleshies' in their house.

But when Dracula and his mischievous bats kidnap Emma, the family are thrown apart and forced to find their inner strengths, reunite and reverse the curse that turned them into a Monster Family.

 If you're having problems with your teeth, you need to go and see a dentist, right? Well, yes, but right now, with COVID restrictions in place and high demand for appointments as people catch up, it can be impossible to get hold of one. Just over a month ago, one of my fillings fell out and I phoned the dentist straight away, only to be told that they were on holiday as from the next day so I'd have to get back to them at the start of September. I really must find a moment to set something up. I was warned that it would probably be quite painful, but luckily (fingers crossed), it's actually been totally pain-free. You may not be so lucky though, so it's always good to have some dentistry DIY products in your bathroom cabinet just in case !

Released this month – just in time for Christmas – Hannah the Spanner and the Polar Bears follows the adventures of Hannah and her friends as they cope with grumpy parents, sick reindeer and some strange goings-on in the back garden. This leads to an emergency visit to the Professor and befriending a lost polar bear in an attempt to help a big chubby man in a red suit save Christmas !

The books were all originally written as bedtime stories for Stuart Simmonds’ eldest daughter Hannah, and Stuart promised one day he’d find a publisher for them. That happened earlier this year and the books have been such a huge success that Stuart has been inundated with bookings from schools asking him to visit to read the books and run workshops encouraging children to read. The next two books in the series are now being published.

The previous books in the series are:

Giveaway #732 : Win a copy of Hedgehog Christmas - closed - winner Sheri Darby

We're into November, which means Christmas is well and truly on the way - eeeek ! Have you started shopping for your Christmas gifts yet? Well, this looks like a lovely festive-themed book that would be perfect for children of both sexes. It follows on from Hedgehog Queen and Hedgehog Magic, if you fancy catching up with more animal adventures or maybe offering all three as a special gift for young bookworms ?

*****************************

Discover the magic of Christmas with Hamish the hedgehog and Alistair

Set in the days before Christmas, young Alistair comes home to find a strange sparkling box on the dining room table, sent by his friend Hamish. In the box is Oscar, a tiny rabbit who is lots of fun. When Christmas Eve finally arrives, snow is falling heavily but Oscar insists that they go out and play. He leads him down a rabbit hole in his back garden that takes them to a giant ice door.

Hamish and his rat friend, Mr. Tilly, greet Alistair and Oscar at the door. Before they know it, they are all off on an amazing Christmas adventure. Not only do they take part in the great hedgehog sledding race and attend the hedgehog Christmas party, but they also have the opportunity to meet the Hedgehog Queen in her sparkly palace!

Before he knows it, Alistair wakes up in bed at home. It’s the early hours of Christmas morning. It couldn’t have been a dream, could it? Heading downstairs, he discovers a magical surprise under the Christmas tree...

David Hills lives in Sittingbourne, Kent. He says : “For many years, I have been lucky enough to have hedgehogs visit my garden. I have spent many an evening observing, feeding and housing them. As we know they are an endangered species, so it is of interest to us all and hopefully this book will bring awareness of hedgehogs to children and adults alike”.
