Getaway & Giveaway


I'm getting away, but before I do I am hosting a giveaway courtesy of Find Me A Gift.

We are heading off to Cyprus to visit Graham's parents for a couple of weeks. I am, as we speak in the middle of packing hell. Trying to fit everything for the three of us into 2 smallish cases is not easy.

The last time we were in Cyprus, Cooper was only a baby and the flight was a breeze. He drank and slept a lot and was perfectly content. I just can't see that happening this time. I really can't see him being content sitting on our knees for five and a half hours five minutes. Eek! To get myself in the mood for our holiday and remember why the five and a half hours will really be worth it and can be got through, I am going to share some photos with you from last year and then we will get on to the giveaway.













Black & Blum Box Appetit Lunch Box Giveaway

I was in Lakeland recently and looking at lunch boxes. I seriously considered buying this lunch box, but I thought it was a bit pricey. Roll on a few days and Find Me A Gift, get in touch and ask if I would like one to review. How psychic are they? Spooky! The good news is that they sell the same lunchbox £4 cheaper (they have great prices and deliver next day) and the great news is that I have one to give to one lucky reader.






To win a Box Appetit Lunch Box from Buy Me A Gift just leave me a comment.

1. Follow my blog and leave a separate comment to say you have done so.
2. Follow me on twitter (@tinnedtoms) and leave a separate comment to say you have done so.
3. Tweet the competition using @tinnedtoms in the tweet and leave a separate comment to say you have done so.

Remember to leave separate comments as each comment is a separate entry.

The giveaway is open to UK residents only and runs until Tuesday 4th October 2011.

Good luck everyone.

  8. What a nifty lunchbox, just what Lovely Hubby needs to stop his salad getting soggy, a seperate little compartment for his dressing....brilliant.

    Looking at those photos it will be worth over 5 hours of toddler entertaining hell for a holiday heaven!!

  28. The lunchbox looks excellent. I'm going back to school (well Uni actually) and could really do with a new lunchbox!

    ReplyDelete

  29. I am your stalker too hehe! This lunch box would be ideal for roast carrot hummus dip and pitta bread kept separate with a little greek salad. It would be very holidayish (if that's a word). Bon voyage xx

  30. I don't need a lunchbox, but wanted to say bon voyage - meant to have myself together before now and meet up somewhere for a meal, but am still running behind with deadlines and work stuff -- bleh! We'll see you when you get back.

    Meanwhile, when I traveled with my niece when she was wee, we capitalized on something she liked to do - open gifts - and had a new one for her to "discover" every few hours on a journey. Some of the things wrapped were toys and books she already owned, but was just surprised to rediscover someplace different... it helped keep her occupied and us sane. I hope your plane has those little videos and children's shows. Good luck!!!

I always love reading comments, so thank you for taking the time to leave one. Unfortunately, I've been bombarded with spam recently, so I've had to turn on comment moderation. I'll publish your comments as soon as I can and respond to them. Jac x
