  1. It’s Wee Birdy’s 5th birthday! Win a picnic set by Anorak!

    To celebrate Wee Birdy’s 5th birthday, I’m giving away FIVE fabulous prizes over FIVE days. Each prize is something I truly love and hand-picked especially for you, my dearest and most lovely readers. Today is the last day of my week of giveaways and the prize is a picnic set of four melamine plates and and matching four melamine beakers in the gorgeous binoculars print from British homewares brand Anorak, with a total prize value of £40. I distinctly remember stumbling upon Anorak years ago, when I first spied the genius rabbit-print picnic blanket. I was living in London and up until then, the only water-resistant picnic blankets I could find were fairly dismal in design. So when the beautifully graphic rabbit print arrived on the scene, I was instantly a fan. It's now one of Anorak's best-selling products, and British textiles designer Laurie Robertson, a graduate of the Royal College of Arts, has expanded her design-led indoor-outdoor products to include a range of bedding, sleeping bags and storage trunks. The cushion collection demonstrates the breadth of fabulous designs that Anorak has launched since 2008, which all feature the bold graphic prints that have since become Anorak's signature. It's hard to choose a favourite, but I'm really rather taken by the seagulls print. I also love the fabulously retro-sounding 'Kissing Rabbits tuck box', which is evocative of midnight feasts in Enid Blyton novels, as well as the rather glorious 'Kissing Stags steamer trunk', which represents a stylish alternative to boring old plastic storage boxes. The bedding collection is equally covetable, and offers beautiful retro-inspired  graphic prints to make your bedroom pop, with pillowcases starting at £14.
