When you hit the shops for back to school everything is the same old. It all looks the same as it did last year with minor variances and no kid wants to have the exact same gear as half the kids in their class.

Smiggle have once again changed things up and offered some cool back to school stuff! From books and bags to cutlery and drink bottles, the bright colours and patterns draw the eye and say how cool am I?! The Smiggle school bags are fantastic quality; my 6 year old had one last year and it lasted all year and still looks in near new condition! I was surprised as usually the boys backpacks last 6 months if we are lucky before we need to replace them. The Smiggle ones are definitely worth the money!

Then you of course have accessories, Smiggle pencil cases and holiday fun to look forward to. The latest release of pencil cases and accessories are funky and certain to have your kids start the year with a grin from ear to ear!

Good news for parents that we have got some to give to a lucky parent for their children.  

Prize includes: 1 x Spinning Top Marker $3.50 (pink), 1 x Pocket Smiggle Pencil Case (purple), 1 x Open Wide Media Pouch $15.95 (purple), 1 x Pocket Calculator $12.95 (purple).

Smiggle back to school with these goodies! When I was at school I always loved choosing the stationary for the start of the new school year. I would get my new school bag for Christmas and got to stock it with everything we needed for back to school. We would cover our books in posters and choose a pencil case that suited our style that year. Can you tell I’m a stationary nut? I LOVE IT ALL!!

I don’t remember having Smiggle back to school goodies way back when but they are incredibly fun and colourful. My boys cannot wait to check out our local Smiggle store to see what exciting new stock they have to get them prepared for the commencement of the new term.

ALL ABOUT HEIDI

Prize Contains: 1x Heidi Walks seamless shoe – RRP $45.00 (winners choice of colour & size)

These stunning little shoes are crafted from one piece of soft leather. Seamless shoes provide little feet with absolute comfort when they walk. The beautiful baby and toddler shoes from All About Heidi are simply genius as the flower design on the front not only looks delightful but it can also be adjusted by tightening or loosing the knot to suit your little ones foot as they grow. The velcro allows for easy use; when putting on and taking off. I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of grip these have as the leather is incredibly soft. I was expecting Poppet to slip over on the tiles with them on however she has not fallen once while wearing them. They provide enough grip that she can run and play in them without hesitation. The hardest thing about these shoes is what colour to purchase as they are available in 10 different colours! These absolutely adorable shoes are available from All About Heidi.

JET EMPIRE

This is my absolute favourite bracelet at the moment. It is a gorgeous colour, made from beautiful Swarovski pearls and features the “Tree of Life” charm.

THE LITTLE BOOK OF HARMONY

Prize includes: 1x The Little Book of Harmony. Written by Kerry Spina – RRP $20.00.

I am very fond of this book. It encourages children to take notice of their choices and the effects it could have on others, both positive and negative. It shares with them in a way that is magical and fun, what truly matters and how they can start their journey to self discovery. I love that The Little Book of Harmony is not just focussing on negative behaviour, it promotes important messages such as forgiveness and gratitude. Kerry is a true genius and I really hope this book flies off the shelves because it is amazing. Encouraging children to love themselves, be creative, how to accept things and so much more by inviting them to think about and discuss their feelings and emotions while reading the book. You can purchase this truly wonderful book from Kids in Harmony.

PIN WORTHY PARTIES

The post Smiggle adds red to the crew {Giveaway} appeared first on All Mum Said.

With only a week of school holidays remaining we are now in preparation mode for the boys to return to school. These school holidays have absolutely wizzed by! This year we have both boys at school full time which is very exciting for the kids and of course my husband and I. They are very excited about choosing there new school items like backpacks, lunch boxes, shoes, pencil cases, etc. and as usual our school stock pile looks like we own shares in Smiggle. I completely understand their love for the brand though because I have a ‘slight’ Smiggle addiction myself.

Smiggle has almost everything you need for ‘Back to School’ and the range of options doesn’t disappoint. It is often hard to find backpacks that are made with quality and that won’t break within a few months of being use; the Smiggle school bags have a thick base, padded straps, divider inside, 3 external pockets in varying sizes and 2 drink bottle holders on the side. There is also matching water bottles, diaries, lunch boxes and the list goes on which gets the boys very excited when selecting their school products. Thanks to Smiggle being so bright and fun we got a huge chuck of our Back to School goodies organised without any drama or fuss and at affordable prices.

Are you ready for school to return? Where do you get your school products from? 

The post Back to School with Smiggle appeared first on All Mum Said.

The words stationary, office supplies and back to school get me so excited!! I know I may be slightly jumping the gun with back to school considering school holidays haven’t even started yet but since I will have both my boys at school next year I am a little excited. Those who know me will know that I am an addict – a hard-core stationary addict. I cannot stop buying it which has everything to do with wanting to always be prepared and nothing to with the fact that I have a slight problem with limiting myself. My kids have inherited this love and so when I told them about the awesome range of products that Smiggle have, they were writing their wish list of what they wanted for school next year and the MASSIVE list for Christmas faster than the click of the pen (and that’s pretty damn quick).

 Smiggle have got a fantastic range of products just in time for Christmas and there is something to please pretty much everyone. Until recently I didn’t realise that the range extended beyond stationary and back to school goodies – my eyes have now been opened. They have so much more than just backpacks and pencil cases (they are great though) and very fitting for school kids but my amazement came from the variety that is suitable for Christmas. My 4 year olds favourites are the headphones that are brightly coloured and light weight and the jumping clock because every kid needs a jumping clock! There is so much on my 6 year olds list that I will only mention a few – desk fan (not sure why besides the fact it looks cool as he doesn’t have a desk), scratch books which I personally love and will be adding to their presents, money boxes/mini book safes, the colour changing umbrella (again awesome), scull wallet and of course he MUST have the rocket lamp.

There are a heap of items that would be perfect for stocking stuffers as well like elastics (remember them?), watches, hair clips, unique rubbers and they have not forgotten about the family pet – they have a range of goodies for them as well.

As the title suggests there is a giveaway that’s bound to score you some brownie points with the kids!! I have 2x amazing Smiggle Prize Packs to giveaway to 2x lucky Mad Mummas readers.

Each winner will receive: 1x Smiggle Jumping Clock, 1x Smiggle Play Headphones, 1x Smiggle Rocket Lamp. Each prize pack is valued at $81.85!

 To enter all you have to do is follow the instructions on the rafflecopter below. Winner is decided based on skill and chance plays no part. Australian residents only! Sorry everyone else. **The mandatory instructions MUST be completed or your entry will be void!**
