As the summer travel season starts to heat up, we thought it only appropriate to do a travel-inspired Summer Swag Giveaway! We all know traveling with children can be challenging at times, so when we found Madallie: A Children’s Travel Store, we were delighted to see a one-stop shop for children’s travel accessories plus lots of fun goodies and suitcase must-haves!
So today, we’re excited to swag one lucky reader with these 2 fabulous finds courtesy of Madallie!
Oil Cloth Chalk Mat/Blue
This wonderful Oil Cloth Chalk Mat is the perfect travel toy for the wee artist. This durable Oil Cloth Mat measures 17 x 12 and rolls up to tie closed. Perfect for travel.
Wanderlust Travel Journal
Troy M. Litten
Featuring images and icons of foreign travel, this hip gift will inspire both intrepid wanderers and armchair travelers to record and share tales of wanderlust adventure, and discovery. Travel encompasses more than arriving in a new place - it’s about the view through an airplane window, the colors of the phone booths and the unique mementos collected along the way. In this journal, you’ll find evocative travel images plus plenty of room to record your experiences and space to paste in ticket stubs and postcards. The durable vinyl sleeve will withstand time, weather and children. Write on!
Fun stuff, right?! To enter, click over to Madallie.com and check out their fabulous selection of travel goods. Then, leave us a comment telling us where you are traveling to soon and what product at Madallie you would love to take along in your journey!
You have until midnight PST Sunday July 20th to enter. Winner will be announced on Monday July 21st along with our next Summer Swag Giveaway!
Good luck and thank you Madallie!
