The Great UK Bloggers 2021 Summer Giveaway

The Summer weather may have already passed us by, but Summer 2021 is most definitely here and in full swing! Schools are out, UK holidays are as hard to find as a winged horse holding a five-leaf clover and pub gardens are full of people making their tentative steps back to normal life, whilst trying to dodge the drunks and downpours. What a time to be alive!

Seriously though, I’m a big fan of the Summertime and people generally seem that little bit happier when the sun is shining and thoughts of the school run are a distant memory for a few weeks. Warm breeze, short-sleeves and a fruit cider in the back garden is much preferable to dark, cold evenings in my opinion. And what better way to make one of your friends or family (or even yourself) that little bit happier still than by winning a whole load of awesome goodies!? 

The Summer Giveaway

Some of the top UK bloggers have come together to offer one lucky winner an incredible prize bundle! We will be announcing the winner on 19th August so what a wonderful start to the month for our lucky winner! With such a variety of prizes this is also an amazing gift guide to get you through the rest of the summer.

The Prizes

Seaside Charm Necklace from Amanda Coleman

This beautiful necklace is perfect for summer days. The mixture of shells, seahorses and starfish interspersed with moonstones, evokes happy summertime memories of days at the beach.

The necklace is handmade in Amanda Coleman’s UK workshop. It is 43cm in length and comes in silver with 22ct gold vermeil and rose gold vermeil details. Amanda Coleman donates 5% from the sale of each of these necklaces to Plastic Oceans UK.

One lucky winner will receive a Seaside Charm Necklace worth £78.

Lemongrass and Ginger Soy Wax Candle from Ria Candle

These beautiful ‘Lemongrass & Ginger Soy Wax Candles‘ are hand poured with love and intention here in Devon, UK. This is not just a candle, this is a Ria Candle which means there is intention behind the candle. The soothing scent of lemongrass and ginger reminds you that you are enough just as you are and it is safe to let go of everything which does not serve you.

The affirmation on the candle is “My life is full of magic and serendipity.” All those thoughts, those worries and those beliefs which keep you from living your full and glorious life – it is time to let them go. The only thing you need to do is to keep remembering this until it is completely programmed into your thinking and is no longer an issue for you. Mindset truly matters. 

Hapi Bottle (500ml)

100% leak proof, Hapi Bottles are ultra-lightweight and compact, fitting nicely in to most backpacks, gym bags and hand bags.  The tight-fitted flip-open lid not only keeps beverages hot or cold for hours, but combined with the safety lock it also prevents accidental opening and spillages.  

Made from premium 304 (18/8) stainless steel and BPA free plastic. The double walled, vacuum insulated body has a powder coated finish which provides additional grip and durability while eliminating condensation.

We have a 500ml Hapi Bottle in the colour of your choice to giveaway.

Rachel Giddens drops in with ‘Surfer Doggo’, sharing the puppy love in Bondi throughout 2016.
“After filling out half the council application I realised I needed a plan for the work and immediately thought surfing dog! Later a traveller asked why the surfer doggo? I replied ‘because with so much hurt and hate and bad things happening in the world, people could do with a surfing doggo.” And we couldn’t agree more! Our lucky winner will receive one of these fabulous kids bottles.

Handmade ceramic sugar bowl
