Hissyfit – Subscriber giveaway!

February 9th, 2011

Who says fun and sensible don’t mix? In the case of the gorgeous Australian skincare range Hissyfit – loved by make-up artists, beauty insiders and new mum, Dannii Minogue – they certainly do.

More than just a quirky name, Hissyfit formulas provide serious UV protection, all year round – something nonstopmama is passionate about highlighting and which is too easily forgotten (more often than not, busy mums only think seriously about sun protection during summer, when our focus is, rightly, on making sure wriggly kids are well protected!).

Co-founded by a beauty editor and an Olympic Gold medallist (some dynamic duo!), Hissyfit products are great ‘multi-taskers’ – they do the job in question (e.g. body lotion/tinted moisturiser) beautifully, whilst ticking the sun protection box more than sufficiently.

The Saving Face Anti Ageing Foundation (£23) has an SPF 50 + and offers broad spectrum protection against UVA and UVB rays. Meanwhile, the Body Double Anti Ageing Body Moisturizer (£26) has an SPF 30 + (perfect for slapping onto bare legs and arms when the weather warms up and you’re rushing around, doing the school run and basically a blur resembling a person when you stand still).

The sunscreen is “invisible” and the textures lovely – not at all sticky – and the products leave skin with a great, healthy-looking glow (find them at House of Fraser stores nationwide, and online at klmbeauty.co.uk).

Nonstopmama is thrilled to have a set of the Hissyfit Handy Work Anti Ageing Hand Cream and Body Double Anti Ageing Body Moisturizer to give away to 5 email subscribers.

Ollie & Agnes – Giveaway

November 16th, 2010

This giveaway is now closed and the winner has been notified.

How adorable is this new ‘Christmas Pud’ hat by Ollie & Agnes, one of nonstopmama’s favourite (and super-friendly) small labels? Designed to fit two to five year olds, it’s the latest addition to Ollie & Agnes’ Little Vegetable Patch range and is handmade with 100 % acrylic wool (so it’s easily washable). The hats cost £18.50 each and are made to order (email info@ollieandagnes.com and see Ollie & Agnes’ blog).

We’re delighted that Ollie & Agnes has given nonstopmama one ‘Christmas Pud’ hat to give away!

Disney Interactive games – Giveaway

November 11th, 2010

These giveaways have now closed and the winners have been informed.

Two great giveaways today that should go down well with small fans of Nintendo Wii and DS games (and, let’s be honest, the grown-ups, too! When they just happen to be in the room, of course).

First up, Disney Interactive’s new Club Penguin Game Day (Wii) is the latest addition to the popular range of Club Penguin games. Suitably seasonal with its snowy setting, it features 12 sporting events in which the penguin players can compete in teams (there are single and multi-player and tournament modes). The aim is to conquer the various zones on the island. We gave the game to two reviewers, aged 4 and 10 (the recommended age range is, 6-14), the youngest of whom declared it “fun – and the best bit is going down the slide”. Sounds like that would be fun for a mama after a long day, too …

We have one copy of Disney Interactive’s Club Penguin Game Day (Wii) to give away.

Secondly, we’ll leave it the seven year old who was grateful for a distraction mid-chickenpox to give us her review of Disney Interactive’s TinkerBell and The Great Fairy Rescue (DS): “I think this Tinkerbell game is fantastic because you can dress and make your own fairy. Then you can meet other fairies like Fawn, she is the animal fairy and Rosetta is the garden fairy. There are two more I like: Iridessa the light fairy and Silversmith the water fairy. You can grow some flowers and have adventures. Even my dad played it”.

We have one copy of Disney Interactive’s Tinkerbell and The Great Fairy Rescue (DS) to give away.

The Disney Interactive Studios range of games are available from game retailers nationwide.

Treasure Trails – Giveaway

November 3rd, 2010

This giveaway is now closed and the winners have been informed.

We’re thinking lazy weekend walks, wrapping up warm and crunching leaves underfoot with our latest giveaway. Offering a fun way to encourage children (and, um ‘big children’!) to explore their surroundings at home or on holiday, Treasure Trails offer over 400 locally prepared ‘Trails’ in locations throughout the UK. Packed with local knowledge and ‘clues’ to solve along the way, they’re great value at £5 each (for more info, visit treasuretrails.co.uk).

Nonstopmama has four Treasure Trails to give away (each winner can choose their area – those covered are featured on the website).

The Little Big Club Live in Concert – Giveaway

October 16th, 2010

This giveaway closed at midnight on Saturday 23 October and the winner has been informed.

This show is such a winner – it stars a certain famous builder, an imaginative purple dinosaur, a mousey ballerina … OK, enough of that. With Bob, Barney, Angelina plus Fireman Sam, Fifi Forget-me-not and (phew) Pingu, all on one stage, what’s not for a little person to love?

Continuing its UK tour, The Little Big Club Live in Concert - from Hit Entertainment and Premier Stage Productions – is, not surprisingly, proving to be a huge family favourite. Earlier this year, we ran a giveaway to win tickets to the London show. It was so popular that we’re thrilled to be able to run another one, this time to win a family ticket (admitting two adults and two children) to catch the show at the Bournemouth Pavilion Theatre on Sunday 31 October, at 3.30pm. Go, south coast nonstopmamas!!
