I think it was William Morris who said buy only what you know to be useful and believe to be beautiful; it’s something I’ve stuck to through renovating three houses. I make sure I only ever buy gorgeous, useful things we’ll want to keep.
That’s why I’ve been spending lots of time perusing Palmers. They stock fabulous homewares by household names including Kirstie Allsopp, Jamie Oliver, Cath Kidston and Joseph Joseph.
And I’m very excited to be giving you the opportunity to win £100 to spend in this easy competition.
All you have to do is to take a look at their range of homewares and then come back and tell me some of the things you would like to buy if you’re given £100 to spend, and why.
(NB there is no cash alternative for this prize. Usual The Mum Blog competition rules apply. Closing date is next monday).
I can’t wait to see what you come up with. Good luck!
Thank you to everyone for taking part, I’m glad you enjoyed looking at the site. The winner is Caroline Cummins – will be in touch re your prize x
oh just noticed comp closed. never mind. congrats winner 😉
I would buy a new duvet cover set and pillows because I have had the same ones on my bed since I was 18. (I am now 31) bad i know but they are just so expensive and i’ve never been able to afford a new set.
For me it would be Duvet sets
Thank you to everyone who has entered this competition, I’m glad you enjoyed it. The competition is now closed and the winner will be announced later.
I woulddefinately go for a Kylie Duvet they look so glamorous and as a young grand mother of 3 who is always on the go , I could do with some luxury in my life.
Would have to be the Cath Kidston Mugs, huge fan and would be such a talking pint when the other mums come round for coffee i can tell them where i go them from and about your wonderful website 🙂 xxxx
I love to buy some Joseph and Joseph items because my 5 year old son is addicted to baking and their range is lovely for different colours and sizes of items
I would love some new cake tins, a jam thermonitor and some new glasses
I think I would start collecting the Denby table ware It would be great to have a matching set
Anything by Cath Kidston! I love her range so much! I’ve just moved in with my boyfriend and need to make his house less student like and more pretty! Love the website x

I would spend the voucher on the Kylie Minogue Kiana quilted throw. I had my eye on it before I saw this competition…..would look lovely on my bed :o) xx
The cold snap is making me yearn for something cosy – I would probably spend it on one of the lovely throws, maybe a V&A one.
I’d buy cushions and more cushions to girlyfy my home. I’m surrounded by men so could snuggle in the cushions and ignore the testosterone! x
Ooh beautiful things! Well my kitchen is a disaster and I don’t own many things that aren’t faulty so I started by looking there. I think I’d have to have the Breville Polished Steel Jug Kettle because its nice and shiny! And the wok because as I cooked stir fry tonight the handle was wobbling so much I thought it might end up on the floor! The Denby is beautiful, hard to choose! Thanks for the competition!
If I were fortunate enough to have £100 to spend at Palmers I would spend it on Cath kidston bits and pieces! x
love the miniamo cupcake bake and decorate set – would get one for my daughter and son – they are very reasonably priced! I would probably get the kids a trunki suitcase each too. What a great site with lots of nice stuff
Oooh lovely, I love all the pretty things. I would buy everything lol! id start with cake stand and then as many cushions as I could afford.

A really nice site.
Thank you x
So many nice things but I would like anything that’s pink and 50’s style for my kitchen.
I completely agree with buying beautiful things which will last a while and can be cherished. I only wish I knew this sooner!
We are in the process of moving house and also de-cluttering. I would love to win so we can have somewhat of a clean slate as we will donate a lot of old things we bought which we thought we needed, but didn’t!
I’d love to use the voucher towards investment pieces such as the Breville Polished Steel Jug Kettle, Judge Self Basting Oval Roaster and Meyer Select Advantage Stockpot .. things the family can use for years!
I would have lots of fun spending £100 but may choose some new soft furnishings.
Loving the Le chateau quilt!!!

@emmav6
I would love to buy some new cushions as about to start redecorating and these would be a lovely start to changing things ready for spring.
id buy some new bakeware, and some scented candles i need to decorated the kitchen and in need of some colourful tins etc.
oh would love to get some more dinnerware as myine as got more chips in than an old mans teeth lol
A throw – I can do with showing my girl that I do pay attention when she talks about soft furnishings…
My husband is a double stacker- never mind useful and beautiful it has to stack! he would be ove r the moon with the joseph Joseph mixing bowls ( and so would i! )
some lovely tableware on here … i would love to buy some denby plates, all except 2 of my plates are chipped and in desperate need to get a nice collection of plates and matching and (un-chipped) bowls .. keeping my fingers crossed … for the prize ,,, and that no more plates get broken :O)
Wooo I would enjoy spending £100 on this site! I would go straight for the Fuzzy Nation King Soiu De Soie Pug Wristlet, a Kirsty Allsopp Mallory Cushion, Cath Kidston Teapot (Sprig), a Snuggle Touch Waves Throw and a Gorgeous Shower cap (Pink with White Spots!). Tanks soooo much!
i would buy my boys a new duvet each
Fogarty Signature 10.5 Tog Supremely Soft Duvet
and some new pillows x
i forgot to say why lol
because my boys have had their duvets since they first got beds and they are now 13 and 14 lol
There are so many lovely things to choose from but my bedding has seen better days so would love the Zandra Rhodes Alma Duvert set in Kingsize. I have a lovely Chihuahua so the Fuzzy Nation Plaidberry chihuahua wristlet would be lovely. I have also fallen in love with the Fuzzy Nation Puff Baby Pug bag which means I have overspent by £15, I take it I am allowed to pay the extra?
Ooh what a fab store. For a change would treat our room and buy new duvet set!
This Morning by Prestige Square Cake Tin, i already have 1 but i need another
also the
Miniamo Cupcake Bake & Decorate Set – Pink im sure my girls will love using this to make cupcakes 😉
What a wonderful prize! Palmers have some really gorgeous items on their site, it would be difficult to decide. However our bed linen is old now and looking really tired and tatty, so i think I would choose a set first and foremost. I particularly love Kirstie Allsops collection, and would go for the ‘Camille’ duvet set, it is gorgeous and my partner would like it too i’m sure. I would spend the rest on accessories, we need to replace our lounge cushions as the stuffing has completely flattened and they dont match our current colour scheme, just never got round to buying new ones as never a priority! x
Would love to buy some new baking stuff to widen my baking skills from just fairy cakes :~0
@AimeeSwift1
Stellar Rochester 44 Piece Cutlery Set – £78
Showerdrape Kensington Textile Mat – £20
As a family of 7, we are continually running out of cutlery and we need a bath mat. Thank you.
I would love the
THIS MORNING BY CL PERSIA DUVET COVER SET and the Sanderson Dandelion clocks embroidered towels!
i would love to get some of the cath kidston large spot bedding in Duck egg blue, it would really cheer up our bedroom x
Having just got married there’s lots I need so to start I’d buy some champagne flutes so we could toast ourselves, then the next room on our DIY list is the kitchen so would treat it to some gorgeous accessories from Joseph Joseph, I especially love the circular work top savers and The index chopping board. Then if I’d any money left I’d buy the pig money box to save for more items on the website.
I would buy :
1. Le Chateau Gingham Stripe Duvet Set £55
And
2. Kirsty Allsops Home Sweet Home Cushion £25
Then I suppose id have to let my other half choose something with the £20 left over!
🙂
@hannahmdy
So many beautiful things on website but i think if i am lucky enough to win would deffo have to have some new throws for sofas and cushions
Swan stainless steel slow cooker to save me time with cooking for my tribe and a Breville black and stainless steel kettle as mine holds more limescale than water! lol
We want to change the look in our house and would buy some of the soft furnishings.
I would consider buying the Denby Halo 16 Piece Dinner Set to replace my chipped old set of crockery, but there are so many lovely things that I keep changing my mind!
Spoilt for choice but I simply love the Monsoon Mahalia Throw and the Cath Kidston Large spot pillows – could spend a fortune there!
Oh wow some lovely things on that site! will have to buy some things for the kitchen if I win.
Some pretty duvet covers to make my bedroom look nice for Spring.
I would love some new bedding as I am decorating.
I would buy the Kingsley Palm Springs Duvet set & a pair of V & A Microfibre pillows – make our bedroom cosy for these cold nights!
http://www.palmerstores.com/product/kirstie-allsopp-lily-bed-throw/270/
There are some lovely things on the website. I would buy bathroom items. As I am currently renovating the bathroom. I particularly like this lovely bathmat.
Showerdrape Highgrove Textile Mat
Showerdrape Barca Toilet Brush & Holder
Nothing I’d LATHER have than the duck radio and Showerdrape Dormo Mirror Bathroom Cabinet. Then I’d be SHOWERED in luxury!
I would love some new cake tins and these ones are funky
I would buy some Joseph & Joseph products for my kitchen and a new throw for my bedroom.
I’ll be moving into a new house with my boyfriend in a few months time, and since we are both moving out of our parents houses, we will have to buy literally one of everything possible!
I would buy:
~ 4 of each of the Jamie Oliver Fluted mugs (mix up the cupboard a little),
~ 2 of the Denby Azure 4 piece coaster set, 2 of the Denby Azure tablemat sets,
~ the 12 piece steak knife and fork set (myself and boyfriend, as well as a few friends of ours, often eat steak together. it would be nice to do our own and have the cutlery for it too.)
~ finally the Viners 18 piece Macey cutlery set.
With the rest of the money, i’d contemplate either starting on stuff for another room, or possibly some extra kitchen things 🙂
Wow – so much choice at Palmers, it’s really hard! I think I would start off with the V&A Melrose Duvet Cover set – I’ve just painted my room a light blue and this would look gorgeous in it. I would also choose the Showerdrape Rossi Mirror for my bathroom as our old mirror is a disgusting plastic one.
what a generous prize. i would choose the cupcake bake and decorate set, disney heritage mug in a tin- winnie the pooh, stella muffin tins, it really is a tough choice!!
I would buy some of their bedding & quilt covers & re vamp my bedroom.
If I won £100 to spend at Palmers I would have to by Zandra Rhodes, Alma duvet set. Also I am a huge advocate from cooking everything from scratch due to health problems and would probably treat myself to some new kitchen utensils.
I would have to buy lots of bakeware because mine is on its last legs and could do with some new stuff
I would definitely go for the Kirsty Allsopp luxury lily bed throw as it would be a real treat – something luxurious just for me.
some cath kidston mugs and some bedding would be great
Some beautiful things on here hard to decide but I think I would spend my £100 on some new bedding and it would be a good excuse to redecorate!!
judge 28cm square griddle pan so i can cook my meat healthier
this morning prestiage pan set because once you have good pans you need no more
I would go for anything in the Palmers Kylie Minogue At Home collection – it’s all so beautiful. Great competition!
I would get a whole new tablewear set from the Denby Monsoon Veronica range, love these plates!!
I think I would have the Kath Kidson Crush Mugs, love the great colours, just right for adding a little brightness to my kitchen.
I would aso love some of the Malini Allegra Ruffle Cushions, in OHHH so many colours, to go on the sofa, my daughters bedroom(to make it look cool)she said.
And thera a bargain too at £12.00
Also some of the Stolzle Ultra Wine Glasses, again a bargain price.
Hard to choose, lots of FAB STUFF…
I’d have to invest in some new bed linen, probably Zandra Rhodes Alma, which look pretty but practical (and very good value)…as one of our new kittens keeps piddling on us. I’d also need to buy some new Denby mugs….for the cups of tea required after handwashing super kingsize and double duvets.
I would choose –
1) the Judge Stunning Stockpot – £29.99 because they are so bright and colourful and would make cooking a little more enjoyable, they would also work really well as a serving pot, straight from the cooker to the table!
2) Opulence peacock duvet cover set – £35. This looks really snuggly but also crisp, I love light coloured bedding, I think it makes the room feel brighter and cleaner.
3) The quackers bathing ducks count duckula – £5.99 because my little boy is looking at your website and says its brilliant!
4) Viners plaza 18 piece cutlery set. This looks very stylish and would look great for a dinner party or even christmas day!
There are some gorgeous items on this site. have saved to my bookmarks!
I’d like to buy some cake tins as my grandson is starting to take an interest in cooking and I would like us to make some cakes together.
lovely items and reasonably priced, love bedding collection and my favorite is le chateau charleston quilted bedspread
great prize. I’d be stocking up on the great Malini Lassa cushions at http://www.palmerstores.com/product/malini-lassa-cushion/147/ – striking design and some great splashes of colour
I would choose some bedding because all of mine could do with replacing.
Some new bedding etc.
I’d spend it on more baking equipment, I only have basic stuff at the moment and would love proper tins etc
@littleboo_21
I’d go for some new cake tins and some pots and pans – though it would take me ages to make my final decision
I would be torn between some gorgeous new bedding that I desperately need and some fabulous new items for the kitchen. Love the country/vintage look and I’m trying to introduce more items like this into my home.
1. Dorma 180 Poly Cotton Plain Dye Flat Sheet because I have noticed today that my son’s has a huge tear in it.
2.Cupcake-bake-and-decorate-set because my son loves baking cakes & this would keep him busy and quiet for a while!
3. Stellar Stainless Steel Hanging Rack & Hooks – because I need a hook to hang my teatowel on to make it tidy as it’s just folded up at the moment.
4. Fuzzy Nation King Soiu De Soie Pug Wristlet – for my hairdresser/friend Kirstie as she’s a mad pug lady and even runs Pugs in the park where they all meet up – owners and pug dogs.
5. JML Snuggie Blanket – for me to keep me warmer when I’m on my computer entering great competitions like this one.
6. Snuggle Touch Waves Throw for my husband Steve who always complains of being cold in bed at night even with blankets and jumpers on!
7. Jamie Oliver Cheeky Coaster – Super Mum – for my Mum – says it all really super mum.
8. Showerdrape Ice Collection Tumbler – for me because at the moment I use a china mug from the kitchen!
9. Colony Church Candle – candles always come in handy for special occasions or power cuts!
I’d treat myself to a nice new Duvet set such as the Kingsley Palm Springs set in King Size.I’d also buy some of the Jamie Oliver mini Cheeky mugs for my children and if there’s any money left a nice cushion for me to snuggle up with.
Bearing in mind it is -4 here tonight and my central heating has been broken for weeks I would choose a nice new snuggly 10.5 Fogarty Duvet.
I would also treat my Mum,who does so much for me as I don’t have the best of health, to that beautiful Aynsley Meadow 12 Piece Tea Cup & Saucer Set. There’s nothing she loves more than a good cup of tea and as she relaxes she’ll realise how much her efforts are appreciated.
Fab blob competition <3
I’d love some new cake and cookware.. mine is so ancient 🙂
Oh so much lovely stuff! I would treat myself to the Aynsley Camille Salt and Pepper pots because I’ve just moved house. I have no money left but I have a dining room for the first time! Hooray! A little bit of chic goes a long way 🙂
i would buy a couple of gorgeous Duvet Sets for my bed, we have quite plain walls because i cant decide on a colour theme but love changing the bed linen frequently, and i could always do wth some fitted sheets and pillow colours
gosh, so difficult to choose because everything is fab! I can’t decide between the Judge Stunning Stockpots (I do like to make sopu and these really are stunning!) or possibly the Trunkisaurus Rex, or Rox, but then I do also like the Gruffalo Trunki..or possibly the Kirtstie Allsopp Cordelia Cushions…oh decisions, decisions!
I’d have to kit my kitchen out in all things Jamie Oliver and Cath Kidston!
theres a lovely coffee machine on there. my mum drinks coffee and growing up, our house always smelt of coffee which visiters seemed to love. maybe i could carry on the traditition of the coffee scented house!
We are rally needing mugs, as our are getting broken and i would love some pretty cushions fr the sofa too 🙂
nicks-1983@hotmail.com
I’d restock my kitchen with Joseph Joseph utensils
A Kylie at Home bedset here Ive always wanted lovely bedding with cushions and a throw
The Zandra Rhodes Alma Duvet Cover Set is just so stunning. I love our bedroom, it’s a place we can really relax after a tough day and I can sneak my ittle Ted under these beautiful covers for a snuggle although I’m sure he’d much rather make a den out of them! 🙂
I would put the money towards buying a dream coffee machine. Then I can enjoy a nice sit down with a cup of coffee once the housework is done and the kids are at school x : )))
I love a bit of Palmers in old Yarco.
I would head straight to the bedroom department as ours needs a bit of updating with some new bedding (the kingsly harlem stripey duvet set would add some brightness), and a new duvet and some new pillows wouldnt go amiss either.
I’d buy a new dinner set, there are some gorgeous Denby sets I could buy. I really need a new set as all mine are starting to crack I’ve had them for years!!
To be truthful I would let my daughter choose as she is setting up her first home from scratch so needs so much! A nice saucepan set would be top of her list such as the Judge one and also kitchen utensils x
I love Joseph Joseph so I would definitely be looking to upgrade my 1990’s kitchen gadgets for some funky and modern ones!. I love Alessi too and would love one of their corkscrews.
I just love the Le Chateau Chrysanthemum quilted bedspread! It could keep me warm and snuggley on these cold winter nights. I would also love any bakeware product as I am a keen baker. Maybe I could have a cake while I’m all tucked up!
Oh what a lovely competition!
So pleased to have found this Company!
I would have to buy the Swan full size cup-cake maker, the Prestige spring-form baking tin and the square cake tin with loose base. I am doing a cake decorating course at the moment and love baking so these would all be useful and I might have to have the wire cup-cake stand as well!
Thank you!
i would love pots and pans and disney mugs and little princess mugs for my 3 girls i also love the dog bags and purses. What a lovely website
The lovely Palmers is 10 minutes away from where we live.
Would spend the money on loads of kitchen utensils as they are of great quality, so chuck out all the old and replace with lovely new.
Wow, what a gorgeous website! I’m tempted by everything on it!
I think I would use the voucher to buy some beautiful new cushions to brighten up my very drab living room! There are so many pretty ones but I would probably choose the Monsoon Papillon Multi Sequinned Cushion, the Malini Bianca Cushion and the Kirstie Allsopp Ric Rac Cushion! Then I’d have money left for a sexy Kylie Minogue Kavala Cushion for the bedroom too! 🙂
Thanks for the amazing competition!
Oooh there’s a surprise….I’ve overspent on my budget already!
If I was lucky enough to win £100 to spend on this lovely site I would most definitely want the Kylie Minogue at Home Grace Throw.
After having four children of my own, and now being the very proud grandmother of my gorgeous wee granddaughter my sofa has taken so much icky abuse that I am embarassed by the stained mess of it. Sadly I can’t afford a new one, but if I could cover it with this gorgeous throw it would completely transform my livingroom….:)
There is far too much on this site and I might need more than £100 but I would have to start with snuggle touch wave throw for my bed, and then maybe a cusion and a duvet set, and finall I need a new mug for work, and the arista cats one is so sweet might just have to treat myself… Thanks for this comp its great.
I’d choose the V&A Butterfly Rose Duvet Cover Set as we still currently live like students with our reversible brown/beige Argo cheap bedding! Would love to have a girly ‘boudoir’ more becoming of a 30 year old mum!
I’d spend it on everything from utensils to cushions and curtains. I’ve just bought my first house and I need one of everything!
I would love some Jospeh Jospeh bowls to replace my mismatch of bowls I own !
I would get a Judge cool casserole in purple as we have none and use a pan with tinfoil over it at the moment 🙂 .
A judge stunning stockpot in purple as our stockpot the lid has broken,this one id fab love the colour and would match the casserole colour.
The Judge stainless steel 4 piece saucepan set as we only have a frying pan and one large saucepan,
Fabulous competition would love to win,fingers crossed
Paula
I desperately need some new saucepans and those Judge ones look lovely – like the draining lips.
A lovely prize, making it a difficult choice. I have a fairly new home with a blue bedroom, so a Richard Inglis duvet cover set and a lovely warm Fine Bedding Co. goose and feather down duvet to keep me warm.
I need cake tins as mine leak so I would go mad and get loads and then do some baking
I would like to brighten up my kitchen with a range of Joseph Joseph products
I LOVE the Sandersons dandelion clocks duvet cover as I’m OBSESSED with this print…even had a wallpaper sample of it that I’ve kept to drool over even though we couldn’t afford to buy it! Also it would match my bedroom paintwork.
Failing that anything Kath Kidston floats my boat…oooh I could replace all my tatty mugs with her gorgeousness. :O)
How did I not know about this shop?! Love the miniamo baking stuff, and I’d have a new bed set too.
I’d love the Judge Electric Mini Chopper (a real time saver, and a ‘hassle eliminator’!), the Judge Stockpot in purple (my favourite colour!), the Alisons Animals Countryside 6 piece Coaster Set (so cute!) and the double Zandra Rhodes Keira Duvet Cover Set (because it is very similar to the difficult-to-match flowery wallpaper on one wall in my bedroom) … that was fun, I love compiling wish lists!
well my kettle looks like it might not last that much longer so i’d replace that, and ive always fancied a cupcake maker, not having an oven at home. i could do with some curtains but you cant tell if they are lined or not from the website or how warm they will be.
I think I would treat myself to the Sanderson Dandelion Clocks Duvet Cover if I were lucky enough to win. It would give me an excuse to rejuvenate my currently rather dreary bedroom and give it a cooling and calming feel, I can just imagine myself being whisked away to a cool field whilst blowing dandelions in to the wind looking at this bedding.
Thanks for introducing me to Palmers, some lovely items there.
cath kidson mugs and some bedding , waht a great comp lol
I’d buy some lovely curtains for my bedroom – I meant to get some when we moved house but ran out of money before I got that far! @annieanna24
I’d probably buy something like a luxurious duvet set or something really warm feeling for the bedroom 🙂
Oh wow, I’d probably get the whole miniamo range for Chloe as it’s so cute and try to squeeze in something from the Joseph Joseph range of goodies for me!
@Fluffy_Mummy
oh some lovely bedding
I’d buy the Kirstie Allsopp Camille Duvet cover as it’s so pretty & would look really great in my bedroom. I’d also treat my hubby to the JML snuggie blanket
I would buy some new bath towels, nothing like the feeling of new towels and I would buy some bathtime buddies for my kids.
I would go for some bath linen, there are some lovely mats and towels.
Some Malini Allegra Ruffle cushions for my sofa and a nice warm throw for my bed! x
Awesome give-away.
If I was lucky enough to win I would buy my girls some gorgeous goodies to go in their newly decorated shabby chic style room starting with a couple of gorgeous Ric Rac cushions xx
Hi A lovely competition. I would love a new bed set so one by Kirsty Alsop or this one by Kylie Minogue would be fab!
Great prices too!
i love the kirsty allsopp mallory cushions because they are so cute and colourful and i adore dogs ??
There are so many nice things, but I would like the Janet Reger Alcina Duvet Cover £38, and I would like 3 of the Kirstie Allsopp Lydia Cushions £20 each. Great website!
I’d go nuts in the Make and Bake section! I’d buy a good quality icing set as I’m sick of cheapo icing bags that break and nozzles that get clogged.
And I love the cupcake maker and jam-making supplies. I’m not kidding I could spend ages browsing and coveting all the kitchen goods!!
Sorry, you can contact me @superamazingmum on twitter!
oooh, just spent ages virtually spending!
I would go for the opulence peacock duvet cover set with some V+A cushions and some new Cath Kidston mugs!
Fab prize x
I’d really like some new bedding, I need some pots and pans, and I could do with some new crockery! Why do I deserve to win?? Well, I work hard, I was 49 on Christmas Day and I dip out on at least one set of presents from everyone I know as a result of this…….give me a treat!!!
If I won I would take the opportunity to update our old bathroom towels. I love the look of the Sanderson Dandelion Clocks Printed Towels 🙂
I know that my girlfriend would love the Kirsty Allsop Miranda Throw! If I won I think I would treat her for valentines day to say thank you for being so lovely 🙂
We are about to redecorate our bathroom and I would love to get some new bathroom accessories and a new towel set. I love the Sanderson Dandelion Clocks Printed Towels, so stylish! I would absolutely love to win!!
Difficult choice but I think I would treat myself to a new duvet cover set as the couple I have now are so old
What a fabulous prize, I would be spoiled for choice!
I think I would buy some jam making equipment, as I have always been keen to give that a bash!
I would love a new duvet cover for my bed and the diamante ducks are Fab!
oh wow, it’s so hard to choose…i like loads of stuff from the site. I would have to go for some new bedding firstly,can’t choose what 1 because i luuuurve all of them so any one of them would be great. secondly some new kitchen gadgets. I’ve been slacking lately in the kitchen department but would love to get back into it and my 3 eldest boys love helping out in the kitchen. We had our 4th son 6 weeks ago so i haven’t had as much time with them lately….this would be great to give me that push i need and have the boys helping out while daddy looks after the bubba x
1. Alisons Animals Lap Tray – Last Tree Before Town. This would give me a few chuckles as I had breakfast in bed.
2. Stellar Soft Touch Nut Cracker – it’s cracking!
3. Jamie Oliver Cheeky Coaster – Super Mum – need I say more?
And there are lots more items I think are gorgeous!
I would love to get some baking equipment, I hardly have any. I would like to get some childrens baking equipment so my daughter can help out too.
I would have to get my daughter a Trunki too.
Some wine glasses would be nice, but so would a bathroom cabinet.
I think I would take a week to decide what to buy!
What a great prize, and I honestly think I’d struggle to limit myself… although what I really need right now is some bathroom storage, so might go for one of the mirror cabinets. That wouldn’t really leave me much change, but I’d have to see whether I could squeeze a funky towel out of it too!
I love Joseph Joseph kitchenware fab designs and really colorful so I think I would be investing in some of their range
Stellar Carousel So handy saves space and looks pretty.
I also like the Aynsley Meadow service plates and matching Oval Platter
I’m moving soon! this would make my new place start to feel homely.
I love the layout of the website. Great prices for wonderful branded goods!
Well I weighed myself today for the first time since I had my little boy (18months ago), I thought I’d lost all my baby weight so was really disappointed to find I still have 1/2stone to shift to get to pre-pregnancy weight. So I would treat myself to some lovely new kitchen gadgets to help encourage me to do really get back into good healthy home cooking (lack of sleep since having baby has meant I’ve been slacking slightly in the kitchen department).
Thank you for the competition.
it would have to be bedding – probably a new duvet – we really need one!
Oh blimey, where do I start? Well I’ve been saving my pennies for a new kitchen (well, new to me) and its actually going to happen in a fortnight!! So I’d splash out on some accessories. Number one would be Stellar stainless steel Hanging Rack and Hooks as I couldn’t stretch to all the wall cupboards I want and these would be great for storage. Next would be a Joseph Joseph Icons worktop savers because they fulfil a function and make me smile. And talking about making me smile, I think Alisons Animals Standard Tray ‘Last tree before town” is very apt for a household with three beloved mutts.
I would love to own the Breville Polished Steel Jug Kettle because mine is on the blink and the Sanderson Dandelion Clocks Embroidered Towel simply because I like them.
@00annabellee00
Definately treat myself to some new bed linen ours is ancient and so tatty its the kids of thing I can never afford to buy so this would be luxury!
i would love to spend mine on kirsty alsopp bedding
I would love to have the kirsty allsopp cushions and the V&A kashama throw to brighten up my old but serviceable furniture i deserve them because I’ve been through a lot at the end of last year and this would be a positive start to this year.
I’d like to buy 3 x slow cookers and 3 x Dead Handsome mugs. For my three sons, all post uni and thinking of starting out on their own 😉
Cath Kidston Antique Rose Bouquet Duvet Cover £50
2 Cath Kidston Antique Rose Bouquet Pillowcase £28
Fine Bedding Company 7 Tog Spundown Childs Cot Bed Set £40
I want them all!
I would LOVE one of the snuggle touch wave throws! I really need a new throw, and all this cold weather and snow has made me want one even more!
Wow , such a wonderful choice.!! I think it would have to be a couple of Kirstie Allsop cushions for my new bedroom and more baking goodies.
I would definitely spend the majority of it on the Kirsty Allsopp range, some beautiful furnishings. And also the Kylie duvets are gorgeous too! If I had anything left after Mekong my house all cozy and pretty, then I would stock up on baking goods 😀
this is a great store been there several times. if i won i would have to buy a le chateau patchwork quilt.
have to be some dinnerware – had a clearout and threw everything away – then realised that if we have all the family round for dinner don’t have enough stuff left :O(
What a great competition! I am in the process of slowly doing up our bedroom in silver grey and white so Kylie Minogue’s silver Kiana cushions really caught my eye.
I would cheer up my home with
new bright comfy cushions like This Morning
I would be spoilt for choice over what to buy but I would have fun selecting
It would have to pots and pans and utensils for the kitchen, because the one’s I have really could do with replacing.
I love to buysome Cath Kidston cookware for my kitchen.
there is two many lovely item’s to choose from but i would have to say the Horrockses sophia duvet cover really lovely
Wow! Lovely site, I was surprised what good value it is too, I was expecting it to be really expensive.
I’ve wanted on of these Joseph Joseph chopping board sets for ages… stylish and super practical so I’d definitely go for that. Then replace my value kettle with a stylish one…
…and finally a Dandelion Printed towel for my downstairs loo! Well this is the room most visitors see isn’t it?!
Very difficult as spoilt for choice. I think though
http://www.palmerstores.com/product/horrockses-sophia-duvet-cover/1059/ to replace the oil stained covers that we have now (cat and previous neighbour’s old banger van).
I would most probably buy some new pillows as mine have died,
I could spend far more than £100, but I have my heart set on the Judge Cool Stockpot and Casserole Pot, plus the Aynsley Daisy Chain Tablewear (might have to keep that for best though as my kids have a habit of breaking my plates!)
I must admit I headed *straight* for the Kitchen section as I’m a sucker for new cooking equipment! I’ve been hankering after some Joseph Joseph bits for ages and would choose the Index Chopping Boards, 8 Piece Multicolour Nest and that very patriotic Berry Union Jack Worktop Saver 🙂
wow wow wow – lovely stuff , would start off with a trunki purse and holster for each of my little ones then would put the rest towards some nice new bedding for my bed – @MummyFever
Fine Bedding Company 13.5 tog goose feather and down duvet. Id love this as we need a new duvet. My partner went out and bought us a new one last week he came back all delighted with himself that he bought the new duvet. When i took it out to put it on the bed as the old one is threadbare i found he had bught a 7.5 tog. Now dont get me wrong its a nice clean not ripped duvet but the weather is freezing!! He thought a duvet was a duvet he hadnt and stil doesnt get what im talking about when i said it was only 7.5 tog.
I would order a couple of Le Chateau Gingham Stripe Duvet Sets for the kids beds -bright & fresh for spring!
I would definitely buy the Bedeck Rosetta curtains for my bedroom which is in need of a makeover…and I’d still have £10 left over to put towards the matching bedspread! <3
Wow, what a fabulous competition!
I’d go for the Aynsley Camille Cake Stand, it’s gorgeous and perfect for pretending to be posh! LOL.
I’d also choose a couple of This Morning by CL Home Natural Knit Cushions. Would love these!
@rhodak09
Lovely Competition! With £100 I’d treat my Daughter to some new bedding…duvet cover and new curtains @mamamakes
a jam pan, baking tins, kitchen scales and a pan or 3 please for me….and why you ask….because I love making jam, and I could use some new items for my kitchen
What a great idea for a comp. Great website. With £100 I’d spend it on that lovely bedding. Sheets, covers, throws and cushions. My bedroom needs a revamp urgently.
Oooh I love the Janet Reger Ellie Duvet Cover Set, I’d like to create a haven for Hubby and I to retire to in an evening 😉
Gorgeous site, I think I could happily deck out my whole house from here!
I absolutely love the Kirstie Allsopp Home Sweet Home Cushion and would also buy some new cake tins. It’s one of my New Year’s resolutions to get a bit more creative in the kitchen
@caro_mad x
Crockery for serving desserts, or bedroom quilt covers or mirrors for the bathroom or …I could spend a fortune in there!
What a lovely website! I actually would need more than £100 to spend! But, a few things stood out.
The cabled throw. Although I can knit, I just don’t think I have the patience to take on such a big project even though I’d absolutely love a cabled throw for snuggling under.
This Simplicity 4 piece oval serving set. So much neater and less cluttered than a variety of different dishes that don’t fit together.
I’d also love a variety of baking tins etc, including the Square cake tin as I only have a round one!
Thanks for running such a great competition 🙂
I’d love the Joseph Joseph nesting bowls, I’ve had my eye on those for a while!
I would get bedding, like the Le Chateau Gingham Stripe Duvet Set. I love it.
Love this comp- sheer indulgence!! I would definitely go for the Aynsley Meadow dinner set and the Joseph Joseph Berry Union Jack work top saver!! Love the single egg poacher too…….far too may to chose from 🙂
@muminmeltdown
Ohhhh I love this site! So much I could buy… BUT I think I would add to our Joseph Joseph Kitchen collection because it’s amazing!…. that and maybe a few cushions… they have lovely lovely cushions! Great Comp!!!
I’d definitely buy myself the Jamie Oliver ‘Bossy Boots’ mug, for work. I have a bit of a reputation, not sure why *cough*….
After that, I’d probably indulge my obsession with all things cakey bun, and raid the kitchen section!
🙂
Ooooooooooooooo definitely bedlinen for the whole family.the sort of thing you always mean to buy but never get round too!! That’s not to say that my family sleep in flea infested beds, just that we never treat ourselves to new linen!!! We are clean, promise!!!
Fab site, so many lovely, cool things. But if I am lucky enough to win this prize, I’d spend the money on some new, crisp, clean bedding! And the reason – simple……Since becoming a new mum a year ago, my lovely duvet covers & pillow cases have been puked on, widdled on by my gorgeous girl (why does she always wee when I take her nappy off… Yet I never learn & use the changing mat which is sitting by the bed collecting dust!) & she regularly spills her baby milk on the bedding! I promise to look after any new bedding accordingly & not let it be used as a tissue, wet wipe or dishcloth!
oohh I’d love a new throw for the bed and then maybe a new bathroom mirrow.
This is my kind of competition any excuse to procrastinate by window shopping. I had never heard of this company but they have some loverly things. I must admit that when it comes to kitchen goods I would rather have few better quality items. So my shopping list is not very long but full of expensive items.
I am right handed and currently we only own a left handed potato peeler. Which let me tell you is incredibly irritating not to mention inefficient.
Secondly I would like the jam thermometer I have recently discovered whoopie pies but according to the hummingbird book you must fill them with marshmallow icing made with fluff. But this is not cheap or easy to get hold of. The only alternative is a recipe which includes bring the mixture to a soft boil, hence the pressing desire for a thermometer.
My third and most expensive request would be for a pressure cooker. I am wary of buying a cheap pressure as I worry it could go disasterously wrong. I learned to cook on an Aga which means lots of stews and the like cook for a long time at a slow temperature. But I can’t help feeling that burning gas for three hours defeats the purpose of eating cheap cuts of meat. I have recently read on a number of blogs and watch heston how seems to assure me that the answer to my problem would be a pressure cooker.
Lastly a set of wine glasses the only thing I am a real snob is are glasses, lets face it I can only afford cheap wine but somehow it tastes better out of a nice glass.
With 100 to spend I’d treat my beds to vintage feel duvet sets. I particularly like the Richard Inglis Enchantement and the pretty V&A ranges. I’d buy kingsize as I am using a large quilt. I’m hoping to restore an old iron bed so these would look perfect.
Oh would have to be some new cake tins and if there was anything left some of the scented candles in a jar 🙂
ooh great prize…so many nice things! I would have to buy some new baking pans for the kitchen and some dinnerware….and if there was any money left maybe some new cushions too!
ooh, Definately cushions, I am obsessed with cushions! Anything Cath Kidston for me would be lovely also xx
