#Win Bowling Club Marbles Game worth £49.99!

December 20, 2013 //  by Uju//  76 Comments

Strike Bowling Club Marbles Game by Les Jouets Libres

NB: THIS COMPETITION IS NOW CLOSED. CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR LUCKY WINNER AYLA AND THANKS TO ALL THOSE WHO ENTERED!

I discovered Gifts for Tweens at the lovely Babyccino Shop-Up Christmas market that showcased the site’s fab mix of indie and luxury kids brands.

I was instantly drawn to the quirky toys and eye-catching activity sets featured by Gifts for Tweens, a unique shop that caters to the ‘tweenie’ market of children ages 6 to 12.

If you’re on the hunt for unusual Christmas gifts and stocking fillers, have a leisurely wander around the Gift for Tweens web site and you’re sure to find something fun. They even have a few picks for Mums.

At their stall, I was instantly drawn to their wooden toys like this Strike Bowling Club Marbles Game by Les Jouets Libres. It comes with mini figures that kids can personalise with the stickers included, along with a track circuit to stop those pesky little balls from disappearing under your sofa for good!

I can imagine having hours of fun with my boys playing this game (it’s called Roule Tabille if you want to be fancy) – and nobody even has to wear bowling shoes. Now that’s what I call winning.
 

Win a Strike Bowling Club Marbles Game worth £49.99

 
It’s Day 8 of our 12 Days of Xmas 2013 giveaways and Gifts for Tweens has offered us this all-natural marble game, sure to keep everyone in the family entertained on rainy days and beyond. Enter the competition via the Rafflecopter form below and you might just strike it lucky. Wink wink. NB: If the Rafflecopter form is not displaying properly, please try refreshing the page!
