*****the competition has now closed and the winner notified*****
Edward was asked if he would like to try some clothes from Ellos, a new retailer in the UK. They’re a Scandinavian brand who are as big as Very.co.uk and Asos in Scandinavia.
He was sent some lovely new tshirts and a 2 piece outfit featuring Snoopy. He has worn the dinosaur tshirts a couple of times and they fit really well and, more importantly, wash well. He’s also worn the Snoopy outfit as pyjamas as they are lovely and warm and he has a habit of throwing his duvet off in the middle of the night!
The website was really easy to use although you will need to get your head round the European sizing (there’s a handy guide to sizing on the website too). The only issue I had was that the items on our original order sold quickly so if you see clothes you like order them straight away!
Giveaway
Ellos have given me a fab all-in-one suit to giveaway to one reader of the gingerbread house. The all-in-one is a snug little velour winter outfit, fully zipped at the front down to the bottom of the leg and perfect for a 6-12 month old baby. The feet have a non-slip print and there are mittens at the cuffs. Most importantly it is washable at 40°. Please note I have a CREAM outfit to give away (not the colour in the picture). I would love to keep this for my own winter baby but sadly I can’t enter my own competition!
To enter:
1) Simply tell me your must-have clothing purchase for the winter!
2) Share the competition with your friends by Retweeting the competition using the button below and leave me a comment.
The giveaway consists of one all-in-one cream suit, size 6-12 months. It will end on the 6th October at midnight. The winner will be chosen randomly and contacted using the email address or twitter name provided. If the winner does not reply within 3 days the competition will be redrawn. UK only.
Many thanks to Best British Bloggers and Ellos.

Cosy hats & gloves. Sometimes we pick the cutest hats but they don’t feel right for the kids and they yank them off so lots of hats are needed.
Have tweeted @01592_katie
We are all having new wellies, I think I am going to look for the type the children can decorate themselves.
