My Little Geek Alphabet Book // Donovan’s Manuka Honey Boxed Chocolates  // The Collective Vanilla Bean Custard Gourmet Yoghurt // Breastmates Grace Dress //  Smurfs 2 DVD // Allens Snakes

In some ways being invited to a Summer BBQ at the last minute when you have kids is awesome. There is something wonderful about a bunch of kids playing together in a back yard while parents catch up and share food and a few laughs.  In other ways, however, it is a bloody nightmare – suddenly you have to provide food for you and the kids, think about what to provide if the kids get a little bored and make sure you look at least a little presentable.

This pack has it all – a delightful My Little Geek hard-board alphabet book, a box of scrummy Donovan’s Manuka Honey Chocolate, The Collective’s to-die-for Vanilla Bean Custard Gourmet Yoghurt, a stunning Breastmates Grace Dress, the kid-friendly Smurfs 2 DVD and a bag of Allens Snakes lollies.  Sorted.

Endemic World African Animals Print // eeBoo Circus Adventure Textless Book // Monsters University DVD // Wallallure Dinosaur Wall Stickers // Nuzilla ABC Poster

Christmas holidays are a strange thing when it comes to parenting – at first it is great. The kids have been tired, it is the end of the year, everyone needs a rest from the end of year mayhem and you have missed your kids.

Let’s be honest though – fast forward to the 17th January and things have often taken a turn for the worse. You’re often out of ideas, spare cash and annual leave and if it is raining….well you get the picture. It is around this time that extended periods of silence when there are multiple kids in your house become very very suspicious.

This give-away pack is a great assortment of treats to pack away and open around this time. We’ve imagined it as a bedroom extravaganza for the kids – re-decorate with a beautiful ABC Poster from Nuzilla and Dinosaur Wall stickers from Wallallure, imagine a circus adventure with this beautiful textless book from eeBoo, laugh till you cry over the Monster’s University DVD and learn all the names of African animals with this beautiful African animals print from Endemic World.

Bissell Little Green Carpet Deep Cleaner // Earthwise Laundry and Baby Products

Some people think having a clean house is anti-women or anti-real life.  But (like many women we know) we love clean.  Some may call us a little OCD but that is never a bad thing.  Embrace your inner clean freak with this amazing pack of Earthwise Products and vacuum to your hearts content with a beautiful new Bissell Little Green Carpet Deep Cleaner.

We love Earthwise products not just because they do a great job but also because they smell so damn good.  We also love their attitude – do what you can with what you have. They know that Mums can’t always afford to be totally green and they acknowledge that every little bit helps – we love that about them.

Stand proudly with the leagues of other mothers that love a good clean floor, clean sheets on the line and a freshly vacuumed carpet. You know you love it.

Five Little Monkeys Santa Sack // Pumpkin Patch $200 Voucher // Happy Little Poppets Range // Nuzilla ABC Poster

You know the moment I’m talking about. We all do.  It happens on Christmas Mornings, at large family celebrations, at Grandma’s house and always, always in any restaurant that even begins to call itself fancy. It is inevitable – you cannot stop it. It is the curse of all parents everywhere.

What happens is as follows.  You have dressed your child – in a special outfit, perhaps newly purchased.  Your child is undoubtedly cleaner than usual – hands are clean, hair is washed, brushed and all remnants of the mud bath they were in only a short time ago has vanished.  You have made it out the door and you are only 15 minutes late.  Every child within your grasp is under strict instructions to keep their outfit clean upon pain of death.

You breathe out and look around – you are the picture of motherhood perfection.

Then Grandpa gives them that too high, too tall, too slippery glass of raspberry fizzy and in one tip over the tablecloth and onto the carpet, the moment is gone.

Dream big anyway and get your cherubs ready for Christmas Day with this gorgeous pack of Happy Little Poppets bath and hair range. Dress them in the perfect outfits with this amazing $200 Voucher from the wonderful people at Pumpkin Patch. While you get ready, keep them occupied in front of a gorgeous ABC Poster from Nuzilla and waltz through the door at Grandmas with a Five Little Monkeys santa sack under your arm.  The rest is up to you…

Donovan’s Chocolate Bar Range // Palmolive Ayurituel Tranquility Body Wash // Revenge DVD Season 2 // Scandal DVD Season 1 // Donovan’s Dark Chocolate Covered Ginger

You know that moment.  The one where the last story is read, the bath plug has been pulled out and the last plastic toy has floated towards the empty plug hole.  The last request for a drink of water, a tuck in or a cuddle has been uttered and you know once and for all that they are truly and completely asleep.  That moment of silence is truly golden and a moment of luxury that only a parent can understand – it is this moment that today’s giveaway aims to celebrate.

Relax in your suddenly silent home with a hot shower and a Tranquility Palmolive Body Wash. Curl up with two DVDs and become absorbed in the lives of the rich, famous and gorgeous with  Scandal AND Revenge.  Keep your stack of Donovan’s chocolate within arm’s reach – and when we say stack, we mean stack - King Size Bars of Manuka Honey, Chilli & Lime and Kiwifruit as well as a Pouch of Donovan’s scrumptious Chocolate Coated Ginger.

There is only one rule – this moment is not for sharing – make sure you destroy any evidence so the kids have no idea there was any chocolate consumed when they wake up in the morning.

 Suckie Pouches // Toodles Noodles Black Tote With Gold Printed Sheep // Prinstagram Little Book // Neutrogena Deep Clean Mulberry Foam Cleanser // Neutrogena Beach Defence Water & Sun Barrier Lotion // Obiqo Gentle Face Wash // Schwarzkopf Osis Refresh Dust Dry Shampoo // Mustela Protective Cream // Le Tan Tanning Gel

The quintessential New Zealand Summer experience is the beach – we’re famous for it and when it comes to an inexpensive family activity or holiday no one can really beat a bit of sand and surf. We know you remember those days pre-kids when all you needed was a towel and a bikini (go on you vaguely remember bikinis) and $5 for lunch.

The truth is life after kids means taking a little more to the beach than you used to which is why you’ll need a gorgeous Toodles & Noodles tote in which to carry all your lovely summer swag. Start the day with Neutrogena Face Wash and then slather on Neutrogena’s Beach Defence Sun Block before you hit the sand with your tribe.  There is Mustela sunblock and towel for the kids as well as a host of delicious suckie yoghurt pouches from The Collective (which will keep them full until lunchtime at least).

Once you’re back at the bach you can cover your strap marks with Le Tan Tanning Gel and make your self feel whole again with an Obiqo Face Mask and Osis Dry Shampoo. Delicious.  Last but not least, relive your summer moments with a stunning little photo book from Printstagram.

Nivea In Shower Body Lotion // Phillips Shower Radio //  Donovan’s Happiness Chocolate Selection

Before you became a parent you thought going to the toilet by yourself was something everyone did, but since you’ve had kids you’ve come to understand that even the toilet is fair game. As @honesttoddler puts it “Tired of these adults trying to lock bathroom doors behind them.  It’s the toilet not the pentagon.  LET ME IN”.

Only a parent knows the feeling in the pit of their stomach that comes with 4.30pm.  The time when kids must be fed, bathed and put to bed in a flurry of food smeared across faces, soap in their eyes and negotiation on just one more story.

Bring a little bit of sanity to your witching hour with these beautiful Earthwise Baby bubble bath, body wash and soap before you wrap your little person in their gorgeous Babu Bathrobe.  Once they’re in bed spray the room with Earthwise Baby Sleep Spray and let their eyes wander across a bedroom wall covered in butterflies from Wallallure and adorned with their own Nuzilla ABC Poster.

Leave them to drift off to sleep with their textless book of a Circus Adventures while you escape to the lounge and scoff a delicious King Size bar of Donovan’s Feijoa Chocolate.
