Christmas decorations are on sale, Christmas fairs and events are starting and before long the advent calendars will be opening. The festive season has definitely started!

Tesco recognise that are budgets are tight these days, and that everybody feels it even more at Christmas. A recent survey by a high street bank found that across the UK people will spend on average £378 on gifts alone for their immediate family. And that’s not including what we’ll spend on going out, eating and drinking over the festive season.

To celebrate the launch of their Christmas ezine Gift Guide, the lovelies from Tesco Magazine online would like to help with the load by offering one of my readers a 1 x £100 Tesco gift voucher.

For the first time, this year Tesco has created their Christmas Gift Guide exclusively online. This easy to navigate and quite frankly blooming gorgeous interactive ezine is packed with shopping inspiration, fashion and party glamour and sparkling ideas for festive entertainment. Be warned, it is not for anyone with scrooge-like tendencies as it is the ultimate festive feeling guide.

For gift ideas, gift wrapping, fashion inspiration for around the festive season and much more it really is a must read!

The competition!

Visit the Ezine here and leave me a comment telling my what your favourite page is. For example my entry (if I were allowed) would be:

“I love the Get The Look section, I never know what to wear on Xmas day that is comfortable but looks great in the photos!“.

It really is as simple as that. Do make sure that you are following Tesco Magazine on Twitter for more chances to win gift vouchers and goodies for Christmas! Good luck all!

Mia Tui Bags

Nicki CawoodNovember 12, 2011April 14, 20123 Comments

I’ve never really been known as a bag tart, a boot lover yes but bags are just for lugging stuff about. Or so I thought until the lovely Charlotte introduced me to the world of Mia Tui. Mum of two Charlotte found herself looking for the perfect bag for her and her family when on her travels in Vietnam. How difficult could it be to find a bag that was practical and looked good? Impossible it would seem so Charlotte designed her own, then another, then another….

Before long Mia Tui bags was born and has since gone from strength to strength. The range has three main signature bags. The Amelie which is the largest, the Ava (which I have in purple croc and am constantly being asked where it comes from!) and the Grace which is the smallest and can be used as a traditional handbag or messenger bag (I have this in tan canvas!).

The best thing about the range is the price, with the most expensive bag being £59.99 and the lowest priced at £29.99. Nowadays people don’t want to spend hundreds on a bag, particularly if you have a family but still want a quality item.

As I said, I have the Ava in Purple croc. There are only a few of these left but plenty of of other colours available. My Ava has been a lifesaver!

bagfull — Today is library day and our mooch about town. I can fit all of this, and more in easily. The well thought out pockets, bottle holder, phone pocket and key clip means no rooting about looking for things

The Ava comes with this handy machine clutch/tote bag. Perfect for those bits and pieces that usually rattle about in the bottom of your bag

retains shape — Possibly the best feature, despite being packed to the gills the Ava retains it's shape, not looking bulky and is easy to carry. It really is a bit of a tardis!

It’s safe to say that I love my Ava (and my Grace!). My sister has asked for one for Christmas, though needs to actually decide which colour/style she wants (spoilt for choice). With prices from just £29.99 and other accessories such as the iPhone purse and baby changing mat (Just £1.99) available it’s well worth a visit for either your Xmas shopping or for yourself.

As well as the main site you can find Mia Tui on Facebook and the lovely Charlotte on Twitter, who is always willing to answer your questions.

Happy shopping!

* I received an Ava bag in exchange for a review. Mia Tui has had no input in the content of this post, it is based purely on the fact that I blinking adore my bag.
