All set for Christmas? Made your lists yet? Last year Locher launched a competition called Bad Santa. It was so successful that they’re running it for a second year. Here’s how it works. Instead of writing about how good you were this year, Evil Santa (aka Locher) wants to know how bad you’ve been. That’s right. He wants to know about all your naughty deeds and dirty dealings.

Email your letters to badsanta@lochers.com to be in with a chance of winning. The best letters will be posted anonymously on the Locher Facebook fan page and the letters to get the most “Facebook likes” will be the winners. Ten lucky people will have the opportunity to receive anything they want from the Locher store (with the exception of the new limited edition iPhone cases).

Letters can be emailed up to 20th December. Winners will be announced on 22nd December.

Here’s a little taster of what’s up for grabs.

Competition: win a Miniature Leather Journal by Susan Green Books

The theme of this competition is twofold. Combining Susan Green’s love of nature and her small but perfectly formed miniature journals, she is inviting you to write her a poem. A Haiku in fact. The theme must be ’smallness’ and in true Haiku tradition must also evoke the natural world.

The winner will be presented with one of Susan’s beautiful miniature leather journals.

For more information visit www.susangreenbooks.com.

The closing date is 28th November.

Psst. If you need a reminder about how to write a Haiku, visit the British Haiku Society website.

Hannah Zakari is 5 on Friday (16th October). To celebrate they have set up an online gift hunt. Visit the Hannah Zakari website to be in with a chance of winning one of their fabulous prizes. Every day, starting Monday, there will be a different gift hidden somewhere on the website. To enter you need to track it down.

Hannah Zakari was the first online boutique of its kind in the UK and has been selling indie designs since 2004. Happy Birthday Hannah Zakari.

For more information visit the Hannah Zakari blog at www.hannahzakari.blogspot.com.

PS I haven’t forgotten about the ‘My Habitat’ feature. What I did forget was to bring my camera to work today. I’ll be posting tomorrow.

This is the last day to win free tickets to the Great Northern Contemporary Craft Fair. I have three pairs of tickets to give away. Leave a comment or send me an email at info [at] indiequarter [dot] com to be entered into the prize draw.

I’ll announce the winners on Monday.

Spinningfields is to host this year’s Great Northern Contemporary Craft Fair. Situated in an elegant purpose-built pavilion on Hardman Boulevard, in the heart of Manchester, the fair provides a unique shopping experience where original contemporary craft can be purchased and commissioned directly from the UK’s leading designer-makers. It’s one of the only events of its kind in the north, where trade buyers and the public can browse and buy.

Now in its second year, the fair features over 140 exhibitors showcasing the finest works of contemporary craft, including jewellery, interiors, fashion accessories, ceramics, glass, metal-work, furniture and more. Established makers and emerging talent have been selected by a panel of experts to ensure work is both innovative and of the highest quality.

If you’d like to go along I have three pairs of tickets to give away. Leave a comment or send me an email at info [at] indiequarter [dot] com to be entered into the prize draw. Competition closes Friday 25 September.

Last year’s event was a great success and I’d highly recommend it.

Win tickets to the Clothes Show London with Connected Generation.

Over the past few weeks the Connected Generation trend spotters have noticed a re-emergence of the popular I heart t-shirts. This gave them the idea for a competition. They want you to put your own personal slant on this classic design and send it to Connected Generation via their website. The winning design will be put into production and sold on the Connected Generation website. In addition the winner will receive 3 tickets for The Clothes Show London at Excel on Friday 29th May, where they will also get to see their design go on sale!
