Giveaway #8: Holly Berry Christmas Tree

London Christmas Tree Rental Company

Planning to buy a Christmas Tree for the holiday season? Please DON’T! Over 7 million trees end up in the landfill each year. What an enormous waste! Much better to rent your tree from London Christmas Tree Rental. It’s easy and eco-friendly. Your child will love looking after it and you can then return it so as to have it back the following year. What a brilliant initiative!

That’s how we got to discover Holly Berry and we fell in love with her. We’d love you to meet Holly too. This Miniature Christmas Tree is about 50 cm high and comes complete with decorations, tinsel, fairy lights, reindeer poop (compost) and a beautifully illustrated story map of life in the North Pole. Holly is being kindly donated to one of our lucky followers in support of our #celebrate2donate Christmas campaign.

What we really love about Holly is that she’s such a thoughtful, heartwarming and super kind gift, not just for children but for grannies too. Sitting on a bedside or coffee table, she can brighten any room and bring lots of festive light and cheer.

Our Holly Berry prize is going live for entries on 30th November 2020 and could be yours on 2nd December. In case that’s not your lucky day, you can still get your own Holly Berry here and show them some love!

Giveaway #9: Pure Bundle Capsule Wardrobe

We want to share with you our love for eco-friendly brands, especially those that promote sustainable fashion for children. We all know children grow at lightning speed and hardly get to wear any particular items more than a few times before they become too small. That’s why we like the team at Pure Bundle who make those clothes last just a little bit longer in the hands of another family.   

A free baby clothes capsule wardrobe of your choice (0 to 3 yrs; boy or girl) is kindly donated by the team at Pure Bundle to one lucky winner. Head over to their site to check out what they do and how they help you save time and money in a way that’s kind to the planet and the local community. We think you’ll enjoy their capsule wardrobes of preloved clothes in pristine condition curated for you from the best designer, premium and high street brands.
