It’s Wee Birdy’s 5th birthday! Win a tray & mug set from Howkapow
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's prize is a gorgeous birchwood Flowerpop tray in pebble, above (valued at £28.50) and two of Flowerpop mugs, above (valued at £11.95 each) in both pebble and mint, from one of my very favourite online shops, Howkapow (total prize value £52.40).
Have you visited Howkapow yet? Run, don't walk - I like to think it's how Wee Birdy would look if it was ever a shop - filled with all sorts of glorious design-led products that make present-buying a cinch. In fact, I really had to restrain myself in my final edit of last year's Christmas gift guides because they were becoming very Howkapow-heavy. So I was super-pleased when Howkapow's owners, husband and wife team Rog and Cat How agreed to participate in Wee Birdy's birthday week of giveaways.
The delightful Flowerpop range is really special as it was designed by Rog and Cat in collaboration with American illustrator, Linda Ketelhut. The tray is made in Sweden from sustainably sourced Scandinavian birchwood and the mugs are made in Stoke-on-Trent from fine bone china. The contemporary design has a retro Scandi look, and the pattern is very Wee Birdy, don't you think?
Here are some of my other favourite things from Howkapow right now:
Anouk Jansen ceramic espresso mug in blue £7; yellow jug £14.50; green sugar pot £14.50; and grey teapot £42.50, all from Howkapow.
Clockwise from top left; blue fixie bike brooch; yellow ladies bike brooch;
red penny farthing bike brooch, and orange BMX brooch, all £25 from Howkapow.
Victorian Lemonade tea-towel, £10.95 and apron, £17.95 from Howkapow.
Save Our Bees Tea Towel £10.95 and Bonjour Print £30 from Howkapow.
