Ottawa Giveaway alert: summertime picnic fun from Red Chair Kids
Posted by andrea tomkins in: Fishbowl patrons|Giveaways and product reviews
Happy Friday! This giveaway is brought to you by my newest blog patron, Red Chair Kids, a lovely children’s boutique in West Wellington village right here in Ottawa.
–
If you know me at all you will know that I live and breathe that famous quote from William Morris:
“Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful.”
It’s had an impact on a lot of our home-related purchases, and it is always in the back of my mind when I think about our reno. It makes me happy to have beautiful things! But that is neither here nor there. I only wanted to mention it because I am pretty certain that Monica and Sarah, the owners of Red Chair Kids, think about that William Morris quote a lot too, because so much of their store is overwhelmingly beautiful AND useful.
This giveaway consists of three items to go to one family… all useful and beautiful things for a summertime picnic. Picnics are a summertime MUST DO in my opinion. Not only does food taste better when you’re eating outdoors, but the kids absolutely love picnics. (Sidebar: here are some good Ottawa-area picnic places from SavvyMom!)
Anyway, ON WITH THE GIVEAWAY.
Here’s the what’s what!
Central Park Outdoor Blanket + Cooler Bag ($55.00)
Wherever you roam, the Central Park Outdoor Blanket is ready for the beach, park or playtime at home. Once you reach your destination, it unfolds into a spacious 5′ x 5′ water-resistant blanket, keeping everyone’s picnic clean and dry. (YES!) This versatile blanket features an insulated cooler bag to chill snacks and drinks; there’s even room for mom and dad’s essentials. Detach the cooler bag and it’s a compact messenger for quick trips to the ice cream stand!
Janod Butterfly Net ($19.99)
Every picnic needs one of these.
Plan Toys Caterpillar Telescope
Darn tootin’ cute for grassy adventures and exploration.
The total retail value of this giveaway is $92.00.
Interested?
