The Blog Turns Two | Giveaway!

Two years ago today I fired up Blogger and wrote my very first post. Little did I know of the amazing journey ahead of me. At the time I had nothing to lose (except sleep!) but what I have gained is beyond anything I could've imagined. Having literally taken on a life of its own, the blog has brought me so much joy and I'm incredibly grateful for all the opportunities that have come my way. I'm also thankful for all of you who stop by, whether it's every day or every now and then, and all of my lovely sponsors. I've met so many amazing people along the way and I'm continually inspired by the talented people who I'm surrounded by on the web and social media.

The past year has been a big one with the completion of our home build and the launch of TDC Style. The blog has just undergone its second facelift, and while its not quite completed, I'm loving the new, understated look. A bit like moving into our new house, I'm happy to live with it for a while as is, before making the finishing touches.

I couldn't have reached this milestone without your support, so to show you my appreciation I've put together a lovely giveaway for you today. In keeping with The Design Chaser's age, there are two gift packs to be won, thanks to two of my wonderful sponsors LET LIV and For Keeps.

Being that my office is my happy place, where most of the magic happens, I thought it fitting to include a few lovely office-inspired items that I love. I've been singing the praises of Le Sac En Papier bag from For Keeps for a while, and for good reason. The most stylish paper bag you will ever own, it has so many uses, not just in the office but any room of the home. Mine has certainly done the rounds. While it was very handy in my son's room for storing toys (shown here) it's currently residing in my office. Marlow is okay with this because he gets to play with all the balloons!
The iconic Design Letters Cups by Arne Jacobsen are from LET LIV. A must-have for fellow coffee-lovers, although certainly not limited to use as a cup, they make a gorgeous vase. You can also use them to store pens, toothbrushes, snacks, or any other little items around the home. The lucky winners will get to choose the letter. Finally, because I love stationery and believe you can never have enough, the gift packs also include an Organised Life Notebook Set from LET LIV. With three individually labelled notebooks in different designs, what better way to add a little order to your office and life?

To enter, simply email me at [email protected] with HAPPY BIRTHDAY TDC in the subject line. Please also let me know your full name. Entries close on Thursday, 17th April at midday (NZ time) and the two winners will be chosen by random.org and contacted via email to arrange shipping. The winners will also be announced on the blog and TDC Facebook page.
Please note that this competition is open to New Zealand and Australian residents, due to the shipping terms of the sponsors. It's really important to me to be able to extend my thanks to all of my international readers, so please look out for a worldwide giveaway on the blog soon!
Thank you for joining me in the celebrations. Best of luck!!
Update: this competition has now closed, and the winners have been announced. Huge thanks to everyone who entered and to LET LIV and For Keeps for their generosity.
