Food Mad!

You may have noticed that in the last couple of months we have been somewhat obsessed by food – mostly chocolate we must confess! 

We are an office full of foodies and home bakers and we just love to watch MasterChef, the Great British Menu and most of all the Great British Bake Off.

So imagine how thrilled we were to find our Sequoia Tote featured in a magazine that is full of some divine recipes and stunning kitchenalia. It also has interviews with some amazing chefs including the Queen of Baking herself – Mary Berry!  What more could we ask for?

We are definitely feeling like Scrummy Mummies today!

Who says you can’t have your cake and eat it? This Mother’s Day we have all the ingredients for the perfect treat for one lucky mummy!

First we’ve added a generous splash of elegance and are giving away a luxury 1/ - Sequoia tote bag (worth £140) which has classic silhouette to bring a touch of old school glamour to every day, not to mention the perfect partner for any special occasion such as a wedding or weekend away.

Then there’s a great big dollop of indulgence with a selection of goodies 2/ - Vanilla, Mocha and Chocolate Macroons, 3/ - Mini cup cake choclates on a stand 4/ - The Cocoabean Shot glass of Chocolates 5/ - More chocolate cupcakes on stand 6/ - Cocoabean chocolate ice cream cones and 7/ Chocolate Sundae in a glass.  All you have to do is keep your new best friend the Sequoia close to hand, flick on the kettle on, dust down your tablecloth and enjoy a tea-time treat with the family, girlfriends or maybe on your own? Sssshhh…. our lips are sealed ladies!

When we get chatting to our customers (and we do love a good chinwag!) we always like to ask them how they first came to hear of our changing bags.

And with more and more customers telling us they looked us up after seeing a great review on a parenting blog, we think it’s high time we gave these fabulous bloggers the praise they deserve!

When it comes to parenting blogs there is nowhere for us to hide; bloggers always offer the most honest reviews of the products they test-drive (leading us to feel a teeny bit nervous every time we come across a new PacaPod review!). Luckily for us the reviews so far have been positive, articulate and more often than not highly entertaining!

We’d like to say a big thank you to all the hard-working bloggers who have taken time to review a PacaPod bag. Here’s our pick of the best reviews in recent months:

Lucy at It’s A Mummy Look included the Sequoia in her top holiday essentials after a long car journey with the family to France this summer. Read Lucy’s review here.

Sarah at Simply Woman Magazine chooses the new Oban in glossy red as her Bag of the Day last month! Read Sarah’s review here.

Laura at The Life and Times of the Working Mum reviewed the Almora bag in Gunmetal, the latest colour for Autumn/Winter. Read Laura’s review here.

It’s been a busy time for PacaPod in the press this month, with four fab magazines showcasing our top styles!

The Napier Duck Egg (the new favourite this Spring) leads the way in both Gurgle magazine and Prima Baby & Pregnancy, closely followed by the Mink Sequoia in Pregnancy & Birth and the Napier Mocha Melody in Bump 2 Baby magazine. 

We're looking forward to seeing what April holds for us!

It has been a great year so far for celebrity mums and daughters; we've had Amanda Holden and baby Hollie, The Saturday's Una Healy and baby Aoife, and of course Beyonce and her daughter Blue Ivy.  We can only imagine all the gorgeous gifts these glam parents must be showering on their bundles of joy, but let's not forget that all new mums deserve a bit of pampering too!

Inspired by the queen of pop, Hellomagazine.com has compiled a Beyonce-themed Mother's Day wishlist full of stylish gift ideas for any busy mum.  Nestled amongst the pretty accessories and indulgent beauty products is our very own Sequoia changing bag in Black.  We reckon Hello has captured Beyonce's style perfectly - we can certainly picture her out and about with the glamorous Sequoia in tow!

Yes you read that right - do you fancy being the envy of all your mates, while basking in smugness knowing that you didn't have to pay a thing for your beautiful new bag? We've teamed up with popular parenting website iMama.tv to offer all our PacaPod fans the chance to win a brand new Sequoia baby changing bag, RRP £130.00. It's free and simple to enter - just click here. Good luck!

We're getting rather excited about the launch of our brand new Sequoia changing bag next week - we think it's going to be an absolute knockout and it looks like Pregnancy & Birth magazine agree, they've included it as one of their must have buys for summer!
