We have gone a little bit upmarket this half-term - at least one of us has - after Boden very kindly gave us a £60 voucher to try out their children's spring range. I also have an additional £60 voucher to giveaway - details at the end of this post.
Never one to turn down free clothes IJ browsed through their catalogue, selected half of it, argued with me a little then finally settled for the three pieces above - the stripy boat neck t-shirt which she refuses to take off, the fabulous star canvas pull-ons which have the added bonus of no laces, and the towelling zip-through which is generous enough to wear as a little jacket.
We haven't bought anything from Mini Boden before. The clothes are expensive compared to many brands but we were impressed by the ones we received. The quality is excellent, they are very stylish and they really do look good. We opted for size 7/8 years and had no problems with the fit.
You don't get a lot for £60 and I'm not sure about my seven-year-old daughter having a more up-t0-date wardrobe than me, but I digress...
I have a £60 Boden voucher to giveaway. You can spend it on whatever you like in the catalogue. As well as the girls clothes, there is a range of boys clothes that we haven't browsed through including boys jeans, and a brand new maternity wear section.
Or you could go straight to the women's clothing section and treat yourself to a new bag.

Posted by: Jo | February 25, 2011 at 04:44 PM
I have fallen in love with Boden, but haven't gotten much, due to the cost. Well, that and living in the U.S. where I've never actually seen a physical Boden shop and preferring to buy in person.
Posted by: Jodi | February 25, 2011 at 05:38 PM
Great giveaway :) Decisions, decisions though, would I spend it on me or baby :) I'll tweet too (@_lab_)

Love love love mini Boden... much to my bank account's detriment! Baby M's green and grey striped hoodie was my favourite piece of mini attire. Squeezed him into it for as long as possible but had to zip lock the beauty (the jumper, not the baby!) last week.
Great giveaway :-)

Oooh, please enter me too - K's birthday next day so she'd love an extra pressie and a bit of retail therapy! We've had just a couple of bits from Boden when K was younger (hand downs from her cousin), and K said they felt lovely to wear but would be nice to buy her own.
Email been down for a while, hoping to have it fixed at last by tomorrow, yippee :-)
Posted by: Avril | February 26, 2011 at 06:49 PM
What a lovely generous giveaway, thanks so much to you and Boden.
Posted by: Jo Bryan | February 26, 2011 at 06:55 PM
Like Boden, but it's a bit too prizey for me, especially for buying kids' clothes that don't last that long. Love the starry canvas shoes in your photo! Ciao. A.

Contrary to popular belief my boys have no Boden. They would however look v. cool in some of their stuff. I have just thrown the catalogue out without even opening it as I know we don't have the money for it at the moment. So count me in to the comp!
