Spreadshirt *Review and Giveaway*

Spreadshirt is an online store where you can purchase a wide variety of clothing and personalised products - you can even create your own designs, open a shop, and sell your creations! They have everything from novelty and quirky adult hooded tops, big sister t-shirts for when you have a new arrival on the way to adorable baby bibs and babygros.

They have something to suit everyone.



We received a voucher to order some items of our choice and with Spring approaching I thought a couple of t-shirts would be ideal for the Mini Mes for the warmer weather. I did initially have my eye on some funny (yet a bit rude) ones for the Mr but they aren't really appropriate with kids in the house!

Smiggle - Where a Smile Meets a Giggle

I'm slightly obsessed with pretty stationery and I have quite a collection of notebooks, pens and pencils hidden away at home. Anything that makes writing letters and work related tasks that little bit more exciting is certainly a bonus in my eyes! Plus who doesn't want brightly coloured goodies in their pencil case or school bag?!



Smiggle, an Australian based company, sent the Mini Mes a lovely variety of fun and funky stationery supplies to unleash their creative potential. Although the products are primarily aimed at children I was thrilled to un-box such a wonderful collection of items (and possibly a little green with envy) knowing that the kids were keen for me to get artistic with them! I obviously jumped at the chance and they helped to unpack the beautiful supplies in lightening speed.


What we received

Bubble Hardtop Spot Pencil Case
12 Scented Twin Tip Markers
12 Double Sided Pencils
2 Whammy Sharpeners
Giant Twisted Eraser
2 Maze Pens
Animal Pencil
Treats Rainbow Pen
Book Lite
Scratch Book
Sketch Book
Stencil Book 


Minxy was keen to take everything to school that day to show her friends as she was that impressed by the unique and quirky pieces. I have to admit I was really pleased with the quality and I loved the fact that the attractiveness of the stationery was encouraging the children to draw and colour! 

After school we placed all of the items onto the table, grabbed some coloured paper and got stuck in...










We all had a great time being creative and talking about some of our favourite movies and games (can you guess what the kids drew?).

The pens with their own case was ideal for storage but being double sided, similar to the pencils, meant they didn't take up much space in the pencil case anyway, especially with its different internal sections.

I'm hoping the Mr treats me to some stationery of my own from Smiggle as they have some great value things that I love... especially the strawberry gift set below! Well, it is nearly my birthday after all.




 OPENING IN THE UK

The first of the Smiggle stores to open in the UK is at Westfield, Stratford on 20th February 2014 followed by launches in Reading, Brighton and Kingston.
