In The Bag

Mother’s Day soon and to celebrate I’ve got some prizes I’m hoping might appeal to anyone who’s either knackered, a mother or both. First up, sleep. Sadly not a week’s uninterrupted sleep in a kingsize bed but I do have a box of Spacemasks (thank you, Harriet) and they’re basically the next best thing. Next, wine. Obviously. One of my favourite wine retailers, M&S, has kindly donated a case of their Coteaux Varois en Provence Rosé (gorgeous!) worth £54 to the cause. And finally, a new handbag because as we all know happiness is a new handbag. This one’s a three-in-one with a smaller cross-body bag inside the big tote and a small zip purse inside that. You can pick whichever colour you prefer – pink, silver or yellow, see above – and my friend Sam from Pineapple Barn (check out her site for plenty more inspired gifts) will send it to you. For a chance to win all three prizes, leave a comment on the KMWC blog and a winner will be picked next week. Full T&Cs below. Good luck!

T&Cs: UK residents only. Must be over 18 years old to enter. Competition closes on 25th March 2019 at 11.59pm. The winner will be notified by email and prizes will be posted to the winner after that date.
