Giveaway - Win a pair of tickets to Country Living Christmas Fair in Glasgow!

It's that time of year again where everyone panics as Christmas fast approaches and you realise you have a list of people to buy presents for, but no idea what to get them (or is that just me?!).

Fear not, as again the Country Living Christmas Fair is making its way to Glasgow.
It's an ideal place for buying lots of unusual gifts, getting decorations to adorn your tree and getting your hands on loads of yummy indulgent treats from local producers.

This year's fair runs from 21st-24th November at SECC, Glasgow.

From workshops with expert demonstrators to the hundreds of exhibitors, it's a great day out to get you into the festive mood.
I went along with a friend last year and we literally spent the whole day there - loads to catch your eye and empty your purse :)

With tickets at only £12 on the door (or £10 in advance) and under 5s going free, it's a fab idea for a family day out.

As a treat to my readers, I have a discount code offering tickets for only £9 quoting COUNTRYWIDE when buying tickets online (tickets must be purchased no later than 1pm the day before you'd like to visit)

This year I also have a pair of tickets to giveaway to one lucky reader.

To enter, all you have to do is tell me by leaving a comment below...What's at the top of your wish list this year from Santa?


Entries can also be made on Twinkly Mummy Loves... page on Facebook here


This competition is open to all UK residents over the age of 18. Tickets will be posted to the winner before the fair, or can be collected if local.  The winner must respond within 48hrs of the winner being announced or the giveaway may be redrawn.

Closing date for this giveaway is Friday 15th November at 7pm.

This competition has now closed.

The winner is Annee McBride! 

*Please note the original winner was MyTurquoiseQueen however she was lucky enough to have been given another pair!

Well done Annee...The tickets will be winging their way to you shortly. Hope you enjoy x

Spotlight On: Gillian Kyle - Retro Scottish Gifts

Tunnocks Tea Cakes. Irn Bru. A Scottish Pride Plain loaf. These are all iconic parts of Scottish Culture. And what better way to showcase them, than on some funky products!

And that's exactly what the designer Gillian Kyle has done.  From mugs to greeting cards, aprons to tea towels, Gill has captured these iconic images beautifully.

My favourite is her Tunnocks Teacake Foil Bag which retails at £17.50. Perfect for shopping, taking lunch to work or chucking loads of bits and bobs in when out and about!

The website also offers a range for babies and toddlers. There are bibs, short and long sleeved tshirts- all made from the best in organic cotton, printed in Glasgow and made with water based inks.  Perfect for your own little teacakes!  Sizes range from 6mths-24mths and prices start at £8.50. There are also tshirts available for older kids.

Gill's values are simple - to design great, functional products with lasting appeal. The products are mostly produced end to end in the UK and are made from organic cotton and inks which minimise environmental pollution.  An even better reason to buy and support a local venture!

You can also find news about Gillian Kyle's products on Twitter by clicking here.

Would you like a chance to win one of these fab products?

Gillian Kyle has very kindly offered to give away one of her short sleeved baby tshirts, in either the Tunnocks Teacake or Scottish Plain Bread design to one lucky winner. These come in sizes 6mth, 12mth, 18mth and 24mth.

All you have to do to win, is leave a comment below, telling me what Scottish iconic item best describes you and why (it can be anything!)  If you could also follow my blog, that would be great.

Entries will close at midday on Wednesday 19th January and entrants must reside in the UK. Any entries received after this date will not be counted. The winning entry will be chosen and notified by myself. Gillian Kyle will then send out the chosen design in the correct size to the winner.

Good luck!
