This give away is now closed -congratulations to the winners : Vicki, Amelia, Jane, Jennifer B and Del.
It’s officially the first day of spring here! To celebrate I have some cool stuff to give away!!
Papermate InkJoy Pens
I have a bit of a weakness for stationary. Give me a nice pen and a pretty notebook and I’m a happy woman. My girls have inherited this gene too, and often nick off with my nice pens!
Their eyes nearly popped out of their heads when I showed them the collection of coloured Papermate InkJoy pens, and I was declared the ‘best mum ever’ when I said they could choose two each to keep if they promised not to steal any of mine! Though as you can see in the photo above, I do share all the pens, occasionally.
I have two packs of Papermate InkJoy 100 Pens to give away which includes two pens in each colour, one for you, and one to share… or not!
Personal Planner
So I’ve got the pens, now I need something to write in. Custom designed planner anyone? Yes Please!
I’ve already confessed my love of notebooks, but I am choosey, I like the cover to have a funky design and if it’s a diary or planner I want the inside to be exactly how I want it to be.
I just about cried with joy when I got to create my very own Personal Planner. I broke out my long lost digital scrapbooking skills to design the front cover, then I customised the inside to be exactly how I like it. A huge bonus to someone like me who lives by her lists is enough space to scrawl lists on each day as well as heaps of lined paper in the back to scribble on, though I could have chosen heaps of other options too.
I have one digital gift certificate to create your own Personal Planner (to the value of $45) to give away. You can create any size planner, upload your own cover image (or choose one of their cool designs) and customise your insides with lots of options via their online site.
Funky Elephant – A Trunk Full of Fun!
I hid our Funky Elephant package for a few weeks after it arrived. I snaffooed it away and kept it for a special occasion, an occasion when I was losing my mind and my big boy needed some distraction. On just such an occasion I plonked the box down on the table and told Morgan to open it. He went from whinging to grinning in seconds.
Inside there were instructions and everything needed (and I mean EVERYTHING) to make four different circus themed crafty items. Morgan is five and really ready to follow simple directions like these, but the activities were also open ended enough for him create freely and really enjoy it.
He made a clown’s tie and hat (even if Noah did pull off all the decorations about an hour later!), a lion face/mask and painted a paddleball. “And look Mum! There’s even a dot to dot and a sticker!” It was the little things about the Funky Trunk that impressed us both!
Funky Elephant is a Mum run business that delivers a package that includes at least three cool activities and all you need to complete them once a month. I have two, 2 month subscriptions to Funky Elephant to give away, so the lucky winners will get two funky trunks delivered to their door.

I would love the any of the prizes, but a decent planner is what I NEED! Life in the Relish house is a little mad, between both of us working full time, shift work, me studying and and having 2 kids that like to do stuff, lots of stuff – hockey, ice skating, soccer, cubs, football… In fact it is so crazy that we try to have a family planning meeting each weekend to work out who has to be where and when for the following week. The planning meeting even includes meal planning based on the estimated time to prepare dinner each day. We didn’t have time for a planning meeting this weekend so there is a fair chance we will have to drag ’emergency’ meals from the freezer or have beans on toast frequently this week. Sure we do have a diary that we use now but it is really ugly and doesn’t have the right spaces for the info we want to record.
I would like the pens!!!
I am forever hunting for pens especially ones that actually work!!
I would hide them all over the house so when in need, I would actually find one!! :)
I also am a stationary freak-a-holic, Got to have it. Even as a kid I would buy the sands and mcdougall showbag at the adelaide show.
ooh – such cool pens
but I would love a planner I could customise – I would feel so organised
The Funky Elephant prize I’d love to win
my 4 year old would have a great big grin.
Craft is her favourite activity,
this would help with her creativity!!!
The funky elephant. Master four sees a craft activity in every empty box or piece of foam. I’m just not that kind of mum. Unless it’s an obvious kit with an obvious end result I have no imagination. He would absolutely love to decorate an elephant.
Custom designer planner, I would divi up all the house work between the kids and my hubby so I could have the day off!!
I would love the planner for my very disorganised Mum. She helps me out with the kids after school but always forgets anything special that has been planned. A planner would be wonderful (for me to fill in for her :P )
Papermate InkJoy Pens,
they’d make my day bright!
All my notes and doodles,
would look pretty and nice. :)
I would LOVE the pens … I am a stationary’oholic … I never (almost never) go past the isle with all the stationary, one of my favourite shops are a Newsagency. With 2 of eacy color I won’t mind sharing with my darling daughter :)
I would love 100 pens. I would carry a pen with me everyday and for 100 days, I would have a pen, because I have a habit of losing at least one pen a day!
PAPERMATE INKJOY PENS ..WOULD LOVE AS I AM CARER FOR DISABLED GIRL. WE DO CRAFT ‘TOGETHER’. SHE LOVES DRAWING WITH PENS. OH, AND MY NICKNAME FROM MY DEAR DAD DECADES AGO….’PICKLEBUM!!’

Our little fella has discovered pens and colour in a big way so the Papermate InkJoy Pens would be a great benefit to us all as we make all our own cards and these would be perfect
They all look perfect but I’d really love the planner. A great way to marry the “ideal” of being an organised mother/teacher who really should have everything in her life organised but rarely does. At least with a planner I can “feel” a little more organised than I currently am. Thanks. Great blog too. x
I’D LOVE TO WIN THE PAPERMATE INKJOY PENS AND I’D PROBABLY KEEP THEM ALL TO MYSELF. SOUNDS A LITTLE SELFISH I KNOW, BUT, INEVITABLY, LIKE EVERYTHING ELSE IN THIS HOUSEHOLD, SOMEONE WOULD ‘BORROW’ MINE AND END UP NOT RETURNING THEM! DEFINITELY NEED TO HAVE SOME SPARES ON HAND!!
i’d love to win 100 pens with 5 kids in the house i can never find one!
As part of a household that donates some care packages to deployed ADF members, having these pens, rather than purchasing them, will ensure that the cost saving means that we can afford more items for the packages.
I would definitely love the pens! Like you the kids and I have our own separate pens so there is no fighting and my pens are treated nicely and don’t have the tips all squashed down.
