Give-away and Washing

Last week I had a review and give-away on my blog.
The wonderful people at Stuck On You asked me to review some winter pyjamas for the boys.

Alex thought this was perfect as he wanted to switch from wearing summer shorts to long pant pyjamas.
So he happily helped me in the review, he got to wear them for me.
I also wanted to do a review of how they washed, as they have a lovely large motif on the front and I hate clothes with motifs that start coming off after just 1 wash.

Well, apart from the hot chocolate that Alex didn't tell me he had spilt down the front, they washed up really well. No signs of the motif coming apart or cracking after being washed. Wish I could say the same for the chocolate stain already on the front! (Left in the washing basket for 3 days)
So I was impressed with the motif and happy that my washing was not too rough for their products.

Now on to the give-away part of the post.
I have yet to get to grips with the random websites that chooses numbers or posts etc for you.
I instead just went with the old fashion way of choosing a winner by asking my helpful helper to assist me.
So I asked Alex what his favourite number was from 1-5 (how many entries I had into the give-away).
He chose number 4 so the lucky winner is Alexis over at Running away? I'll help you pack!

So well done Alexis, I will be in contact soon

Don't forget to go over to Stuck on You for all your labels and personalised items for the children.

Catch you soon

Wintertime Giveaway is Here

"Must be Winter Pyjama Giveaway time"

Hey, did anyone tell you that autumn is here and winter is just round the corner?
No we weren't informed either but the boys have been telling me that it was coming and why wouldn't I let them wear their winter pyjamas yet?
Finally I gave in and fished them all out of the cupboard. A quick trying on session showed that most of them still fitted and that we didn't need to purchase too many more pairs to get us through the season.
However, guess how well timed it was that I was asked to review a product for Stuck on You? Yea that is right, perfect timing now.

Stuck on You is an online store that does personalised labels and products for school and home for the kids.
And I have been asked to review a pair of winter pyjamas for the boys, told you it was perfectly timed.

1 very excited little boy with new pyjamas

They arrived in the normal post and were well packaged. No chance of any damage happening here folks.

The product itself was even wrapped in plastic, so well protected, and seeing as we are having lots of wet days at present and our postie seems to be good at pushing stuff through the mailbox onto the grass, nice to know Alex's new pyjamas weren't in any danger of getting wet!
The top is white (100% cotton) with a beautiful big logo and name of your choice. There were at least 40 designs to choose from, so something for every little boy or girl.
The trousers (100% cotton jersey) are blue or pink stripped.
The sizes are generous. Alex is just turning 7 so I wasn't sure whether to order a 6 or 8, (They only go up to size 8 by the way.) turns out the 6 is perfect for him and will even do him for next year too. In fact Ben (almost 9) tried them on too and they would have just managed him (apart from the trouser legs were a little short!) and he is now asking when he can have a pair, so going to have to go online and buy some size 8 for him!

I loved this. This is on the shirt inside the neck, so no labels to rub the boys neck and all the reminders I need when doing the washing.

The website is easy to use, I found no troubles at navigating around and completing the order, although I did have a few issues locating the sizing chart, but once found, gave me the exact information I required to make my choice on size.

So why am I telling you all of this..... because the nice people at Stuck on You have given me a 2nd pair to giveaway to you guys.
