I am absolutely in love with the beautiful Pompom’s. It’s a sparkling party item to use give colour to every room and hip party! In summertime they float in the wind on your gardenparty, and in fall the typical fall colours make the fall atmosphere complete next to your fall tea and candles. In wintertime the white and turqoise look like brilliant snowballs and give christmas a nice atmosphere. And of course, to hang them in the nursery or childrens’ bedroom. You could give them as a babyshower gift or as a birthday gift, together with a birthday card. I could think of lots of ways to use them. So, I might have brought you to an idea. These Pompom’s are available at Het Zijstraatje. And, good to know, these Pompom’s are not made from silk blo tting paperbut a more solid kind of paper, so they last longer. They are 24 centimeters in diameter and are available per one, three or nine pieces. They are send in flat format and with an easy instruction you can fold them into those beautiful balls that will last for a long time.

And on behalf of Het Zijstraatje I can give away 1 set of 3 Pompom’s in a colour of your choice! We would like to know who is making these Pompom’s. Fill out your answer on this form, and you could win those beautiful and hip atmosphere makers for your home! This competition lasts until Oktober 8th of 2011.

I’m not completely sure if it’s smart to write about Jijwel.nl today, because there is a big chance that all the nice winter coats will snatched away before I can get them. I haven’t decided which one I would like to buy for my daughter Sterre, I saw so many different nice ones. They have super coloured ones, red with white dots, but also cute with flowers or cool. So they basically have something for every one. Cool, hip or cute, Jijwel.nl has it all. Some of those cool winter coats are even on sale right now! They might be last years collection, but who cares, if they are cool, they are cool. I also saw a really nice one for Yuren, but unfortunately not in his size. So I will have to keep on looking for his new wintercoat…

Oh no, I am not talking about the songfestival song that didn’t made it to the finals, SHINE are those beauties of moodlights that Jurianne Matter makes. I already was a fan of the last edition but these are even nicer. It’s great because you can make them yourself, you can fold the ready-punched parts in or outside. Besides that, the moodlight is also reversible, so you can choose your favorite side. Easy made and a beautiful moodlight to put outside on warm summernights. It’s even more fun to put some on a row, gives a great effect!

They aren’t expensive at all, for €7,95 only you can have your own. The moodlights SHINE fit around almost every glass or marmelade jar and once lit they have something magical, probably because the inside shines through. Perfect for warm summernights to put outside, but also for inside when it’s christmas! You can get them at PSikhouvanjou.

That doesn’t just sound good, it actually is! Besides doing good, the clothes from Hopsan are truely hip. Bright colors, nice cuts. I received this really cute bright blue bodysuit for Yuren, and it looks great on him. On the Hopsan webpage I found so much more, like the sweetest dresses and skirts, cool looking pants, beautiful sweaters and shirts and fresh bodysuits. Perfect for this summer. And I tested it, it’s great for summers! 
On behalf of Hopsan I can give away 3 x 20 euro shoppingmoney. What I would like to know is what’s in the pocket of every piece of clothing. Fill out your answer on this form. This competition lasts until June 15th, 2011.

There is a lot to tell about these special candles from the USA. First of all because I was pleasantly surprised when I discovered that a beautiful charm was hidden under the lid. A gift within a gift, so to say. Wonderful! Second of all the candles burn for 70 to 120 hours and are produced in an ecological friendly way. They are not tested on animals and the paper that they used is colored with a natural pigment and are full of seads of wild flowers. The package has been chosen with care. The glasses are beautiful and can be recycled. The entire package can be reused or can be composted. You can even grow beautiful flowers with it! This is how it works: put the paper in some water for a night. Cover it with a thin layer of potting soil and keep it humid until the sprouts appear. After 1 to 2 weeks the flowers wil start to grow. You can also put them in your garden or a flower pot. Just make sure the soil wil stay humid until the sprouts appear. And last of all: they smell great! And I tested them… Admit it, it’s the best gift for your grandma, mother, friend or someone else! So many gifts in 1 candle!

We have one signature glass to give away. Of course you have to do something for a beautiful gift like this. We would like to know: from what part of the USA do the Hip & Hippie sisters come from? Please give us the answer by filling out this form and who knows you might be our happy winner.

I am seriously trying to get rid of the pregnancy weight (and it’s even working!) and I now am looking forward to a reward I am going to give myself. I am going to buy myself some hip dresses for this spring. So that’s why I am extremely interested in webshops that sell cute dresses. I had the luck that Boetiek-Online contacted me to put an ad in our Hip & Hot iPhone app and that’s how I discovered they sell cute dresses for reasonable prices. I should keep this one to myself, but the good thing of sharing this is that they will buy more cute dresses to sell so I can choose from more. So, if you are ready for summer and in the mood for cute dresses, like I am? Check Boetiek-Online. If you are not ready: I received a beautiful warm shawl, that I love wearing going outside, especially when I just had the flu.

With this kind of cold weather I always have such cold feet. And legs. Don’t like it. The solution is within reach, because Koopjekadozo send me a pair of really warm sox made by Avoca. They look good, with nice bright colors! Besides, they are really warm. I wear them under my pants against the cold when it snows, but also wear them at home a lot. And put my slippers on as well. Ok, I am just a chilly person, nothing to do about that! Are you a chilly person too and want to wear hip sox? You can get your Avoca sox the easy way by going to Koopjekadozo.nl.

On behalf of Koopjekadozo I can give away a pair of warm winter sox! And it’s going to be a long winter, if it’s true what the experts say, so you probably all participate. Fill out this form and let us know which pair of Avoca sox you would like to win and who knows, I might be sending you those sox in januari. The competition lasts until Januari 17th, 2010. Â

I have to admit, I was laughing at this schoenendroger (shoedryer) when I saw it for the first time. I didn’t get the function directly. Don’t you just put your wet shoes on the heater? Ok, I have to admit, I changed my mind. Because a shoedryer is useful! We put it in our storeroom. That’s also where the kids enter the house when they played outside. We have a beautiful garden and now the weather changes to wet and cold, Sterre often enters the house with wet shoes, because she played on the wet grass. I used to put the shoes on the heater to dry, but since I own a shoedryer, I don’t have to anymore. I put the hoses in the shoes and put the dryer on. It saves time, because they are dry in no-time! And my daughter loves putting her shoes on after they are dried, because they feel nice and warm on her feet. So I often use the dryer as a shoe warmer. It’s great on cold winter days. The shoedryer is multifunctional and looks good too.

On behalf of drogeschoenen.nl all Hip & Hot readers that order this handy shoedryer don’t pay extra for shipping! Enter code hip&hot on your order. This discount is valid until Januari 1st, 2011.Â

I love cosiness. Especially now the days are getting shorter and darker, I light candles and turn the heating a little higher. Close the curtains just a little more, get a nice hot cup of tea or even a enjoy a glass of wine. Friends come over for dinner, and we prepare ourselves for christmas and of course that means soft lights. I found such cute baglights at het Zijstraatje. No, not lights to travel with to light your way to the toilet when you’re camping out. I mean really cozy lights, a fire-proof bag to put waxines in and make your home cozy in a trice. I already tried them out and I love them. I already see opportunities: christmas, weddings, New Years Eve and many more possibilities. Besides, they are not expensive, you don’t have an excuse not to buy them!

On behalf of het Zijstraatje I’m allowed to give away 2 sets of baglights. Fill out this form and let us know wich lights you like most on het Zijstraatje webpage and find out if you can win one! This contest will last untill December 9th, 2010.
