Aly says
I bought a few things form you last year including the mosiac tea tray.Sadly my then 3 year screwed up the foam sticky stuff that sits on the tray so you can put the mosiac tiles on top.Do you know if the company sends out spares? My 9 year old had his heart set on making it for his nan.I’ve shared your page and I’ll pop over and have a look at the pictures now.

Awesome giveaway, you guys are brilliant!

Tammy says
How exciting, I have two boys myself (2 and 4 yrs) but the rest of the cousins are all girls. Also all the girls birthdays fall between April and July so this time of the year is as expensive as Christmas ha ha, so would be lovely to win a prize!

Pickle was given a “baby” when visiting my parents in Australia, but he couldn’t fit in the bag home (the doll that is!). A new baby doll would be perfect to develop his nurturing side.
SaraH says
I have boy/girl twins that would love any one of your featured items! I’ve liked a couple of the baby dolls and pop-up toys. I’m sorry to have missed out on one of the fabulous pink monkeys (my daughter to a T!) but the floral owl is oh so cute too!

How fabulous you are! Xx
Debbie says

Sylvanian families being back so many memories, they were treats for me. Now my daughter loves them, would be a lovely treat for her. 🙂
Lovely, generous idea by the way! x

What a great and generous idea. I think the owl is gorgeous and would happily offer him a home. You don’t know me but I’m a friend of Sarah Clarke (tworedboots) and have followed your journey over the last 2 years, through my own experiences of baby loss, and reading your blog has been really meaningful and helpful. We now have our long awaited, much longed for little girl, and she would love this owl.

Lizzie Hughes says
What an awesome clear out you’re having!!! :0) My two little ones would love just about everything you’ve listed!!! 6yr boy and 5yr girly girl!
Maggie says
I “liked” the Sylvanian Family picture because I think my rescue ferret Molly might accept their texture as a toy…she only has one “accepted toy” and we’re going round in circles trying to find something more easily replaceable!! (a bit like having a spare of a baby’s blankie 😉 ) I wish they did Sylvanian ferrets…….*dreams* Maybe I should just get her the “Rabbit Family” *giggle*
merry says
Maggie!!!!!! Bad lady!
Sadia Jibran says
