1. NV Candle Giveaway worth £25 : Perfect gift for Mothers Day

   Posted on 7:50pm Thursday 5th Mar 2015

   Every once in a while we find a brand that we not only love but one that evokes our senses. Today that brand is NV Candles.

   We love that all the candles in their collections are individually hand made in the UK and contain only two ingredients: eco-soy wax sourced from sustainable supplies which is environmentally friendly with no additives, and the finest quality essential or fragrance oils from the UK’s leading perfumers, nothing else. We all know that candles help to set the mood in your home with this wonderful collection of scented candles and diffusers by NV. Passionate about creating uplifting scents, NV use a fusion of aromas to create beautiful fragrances that completely transform a room. Individually handmade in the UK, each candle is made to be environmentally friendly and uses only the finest quality fragrance oils from the UK’s leading perfumers. Their collection features scents from tropical fruits to oriental woods.

   We have candles on every evening at home but we frequently find that the scent seems to reduce as the candle burns but the clever folk at NV Candles tell us that if you always keep the wick trimmed to 6mm, it reduces smoking and helps the candle burn slower so increasing the life of your candle. It apparently also makes it easier to light.

   

   The NV gift sets contain a full size Symphony candle in a tin and the matching Infusions reed diffuser. They come presented in a sturdy box with magnetic closure. The gift boxes are wrapped in their signature stylish leaf print tissue and finished off with a silver foil label.

   Candles always make the perfect gift, so with Mothers Day on the horizon, the generous NV Candles team are giving you the opportunity to win one of their gorgeous Mothers Day gift sets. All you need to do is enter via the Rafflecopter widget below.

2. Konfidence Baby Swimming Bundle - RRP £50.00

   Posted on 9:37am Wednesday 11th Feb 2015

   We may have mentioned our love of baby swimming once or twice and one of the things we love about our swimming lessons, is that Water Babies always choose pools that are a minimum of 30 degrees or more as little ones can feel the cold when swimming and a shivering baby is usually not a happy one.

   So we have always been a huge fan of the Konfidence range of products for baby swimming and beyond and we love that this remains a family business based in the UK. We are therefore thrilled to be able to offer a Baby Bundle worth £50 to our readers. The prize includes:

   

   • Konfidence’s best-selling Babywarma Wetsuit
   • Konfidence’s one size fits all reusable  AquaNappy
   • Konfidence’s swim school approved Neo Nappy
   • Konfidence’s award winning Roll & Go Changing Mat

    

   The Konfidence Roll & Go Changing Mat is perfect for the poolside and changing room.  It is made from 3mm thick chlorine-resistant neoprene cushioned foam, with an embossed treaded underside, which provides grip so that it won’t slip or slide on wet surfaces.

   

   You have a choice of picking from one of the three colours and all you need to do is enter below:

3. The nightmare before Christmas #Carpetstain

   Posted on 2:25pm Tuesday 16th Dec 2014

   Christmas has to be perfect doesn't it?

    

   Everything has to be cleaned to within an inch of it's life, only to be covered in wrapping paper and those little bits of plastic that companies insist on wrapping around the legs of toys just a few hours later. (My vacuum particularly likes those little plastic things).

    

   But the cleaning seems to happen on a daily basis in our house due to the toddlers creations (otherwise known as exuding glitter wherever she goes) and the tweens ability to drop crumbs everywhere, not to mention the cat and her muddy little paws, it is a good job we have a decent vacuum cleaner. No matter what happens the floor is always where the nightmares happen!

    

   I am not supposed to remind my husband of the time he was rushing to iron something and decided to do it 

    

   on the floor,

   on a towel,

   on the landing (I am deadly serious)

   and he set the iron down.

    

   We were left with a very hard, iron shaped, piece of carpet as a result. Well the result for me was a new carpet but I am sure it still gives him nightmares.

    

   Or my Dad, strolling onto the new carpet in his freshly polished black shoes ........ I don't need to say anymore do I?

    

   Or the girls kicking over a glass of wine in the evening. The loss of my evening tipple, coupled by the stain on the carpet could have been a complete nightmare but I am thankful for stain removers!

    

   

    

   Carpet nightmares are certainly not a thing of the (Christmas) past for us but what about you? Do you have a story to tell?

    

   Carpetright are currently running a #CarpetStain campaign because at this time of year, when the festivities are in full swing, it’s almost guaranteed there will be small accidents here and there. One of the main ones being #CarpetStains.

    

   Carpetright are running a competition for people to be given the chance to win a prize of having a large room within their house re-carpeted for the new year. They can enter by submitting a #CarpetStain nightmare story, telling Carpetright all about a time when a spillage has occurred, the more dramatic, the better!

    

   The campaign is in collaboration with Dr. Beckmann and one lucky runner up will win a year’s supply of carpet stain remover product. As well as any person submitting a story getting 20% off Dr. Beckmann products online.

    

   So what are you waiting for? Your#carpetstain nightmare may just turn out to be a dream winning story! 

    

   PLEASE FEEL FREE TO SHARE YOUR STORIES HERE BUT THE ENTRY WILL NOT BE COUNTED UNLESS YOU SUBMIT DIRECT TO CARPETRIGHT.

    

   CLOSING DATE for entries is 05/01/2015 at 11:59am
