Royal Wedding Anniversary KIDS Giveaway

Last year, I wasn't able to make it to London for the Royal Wedding. Good thing Will and Kate did not invite me so I did not have to send them my regrets. Hahaha. Feelingera much.


Anyway, I was shopping at the Petticoat Lane Market last Sunday (it's a Sunday morning market) and with the crowds and Sofia in the stroller, the only stall I was able to buy from was the £1 souvenir stall.


When I saw the Will and Kate mug,  I knew I had to have it.
I bought three of them and a Queen Elizabeth Diamond Jubilee magnet.
I loved this magnet, but not enough to buy it.
It made me crave for a full British Breakfast though.

Sofia's favorite stall was the one selling soft toys.

She bought a Royal Guard teddy bear for £3 (SG$6 or Php 210).
Then on our way out I left her buy the little Beef-eater and the other Guard and a pink beanie bear.
Sofia also bought a London School Set which she was excited to use.
Sofia also bought presents with her own money for Lukey, Taima, Auntie Chi and all her yayas.

I just recently found out that my youngest blog reader is 4 years old!!!
I want to do a blog giveaway for all the kids who read (look at the pictures on my blog).


CONTEST MECHANICS

Just ask your mom, dad (or any adult) to help you leave a comment on this post (if you're too young to do it yourself) about the favorite thing that you've read on my blog (past posts included), leave your name and age (and parent's email address if I don't personally know you).

Instead of putting an age limit, I will open the contest to all the young and the young at heart! Just remember to put your age...and be ready to withstand the embarrassment of competing against my 4 year old readers.

Sofia will be picking her favorite answer. You can leave as many comments as you want for more chances to win.

The contest ends on 29th April 2012 (at 11amUK time - the time Will and Kate got married one year ago).

The winner will get this London School Kit and the adult that helps  you join the contest will get a Will and Kate mug.
So Join Now and  Good Luck!
The good thing about this contest is that it will end while we are still in London, so if we have a hard time deciding who the winner is, we can always go back to Petticoat Lane to get more prizes... 

It's not as good as I remembered but I was still able to find something to buy.
There are still a lot of clothes stalls selling high street brands at lower prices,
but with Primark so accessible and affordable - it's no longer as attractive.
There used to be a lot of food stalls, including one selling mussels and fries.
Now there's only this fried seafood stall. It still smelled good, but Sofia wanted McDonald's.

Petticoat Lane Market is only open on Sunday mornings. You can get there by tube or bus. It starts from one of the side streets across Liverpool Street Station.
