#Competition WIN A Complete Mr. Men Book Collection & £50!
For as long as we can remember, we've LOVED the iconic Mr. Men Little Miss characters. Grabbing one of the square board books and being whisked off to Dillydale to read about the madcap antics of Mr. Strong, Mr. Bump, Mr Tickle and not forgetting the likes of Little Miss Sunshine and Little Miss Naughty was a real highlight of our childhood (and now parenthood for some of us!) and we're sure we're not the only ones right?
We're lucky enough to get to work with Roger Hargreaves iconic characters on a daily basis - courtesy of our exclusive Mr. Men Little Miss ranges which you can of course check out here - and as Christmas is fast approaching, we figured it was the perfect time of year to spread the love with a cheeky giveaway!
Sure to appeal to little and large fans of the cheeky characters, we've got a fabulous prize which would be a brilliant boost to the presents under the tree this Christmas! Check out what's up for grabs below....

New & Exclusive Mr Men TShirts To Mr Tickle Your Fancy!
Pretty much proof that you really can't beat the classics, our latest range of totally exclusive Roger Hargreaves Mr Men T Shirts are about as perfect as Mr Perfect himself!
Reading these iconic tales growing up, we LOVED throwing ourselves into the weird and wonderful world or Misterland where we could catch up with some of our friends such as Mr Tickle, Mr Bump, Mr Funny, Mr Happy and soooo many more. Getting to work with such a legendary brand which has been entertaining kids and big kids alike since 1971 is just about as Mr Cool as things get for us and as you might have already picked up, we've been working away to bring you this exciting new range which you can now snap up!
Up first which is of course the perfect place for Mr Perfect himself is this super simple but oh-so fitting 'I'm Kind of a Big Deal' vintage style print. A great choice for all you perfect people in the land, or perhaps as a gift for someone you'll always think of as perfect in your eyes.
10 Things You [Probably] Didn't Know About...Mr Men & Little Miss
As you know, we're huuuuge Mr Men & Little Miss fans!

We might have mentioned them once or twice already :) But hey....classic designs at only £14.99! Who can blame us right?
While digging our way through the iconic stories and books, it got us thinking of a cool little post we could do where we dive in and seek out some cool, interesting and perhaps shocking facts about one of our all-time favourite books. So here it is! Check out our 10 Things You Didn't Know About Mr Men & Little Miss!
1) "What's a tickle look like?" That was the question which launched the series, asked by a young Adam Hargreaves of his dad Roger. Inspired, Roger created the first Mr Men book, Mr Tickle, in 1971. Another five books came out that year.
2) The Mr Men books have been translated into 15 languages, and in this process several other Mr Men characters have been created by editors around the world, such as "Madame Oui" in France. Additionally, some characters have been renamed for foreign markets, such as Mr Jelly, who is known as Mr Nervous in the USA.
