The last show was on the 24th of November at the Furzdown Hotel in Great Yarmouth. It was a charity event and was a great success – we sold 90 tickets and raised £600 for the Wellbeing of Women.

Thank you to everyone who attended and to all our helpers and models, especially our very own Stacey, who took a break from her merchandising role at Palmers head office to don some (very) high heels, a catwalk-worthy swagger and show us all just what she is made of!

Whether it’s Christmas at Granny’s or a trip further afield, the Trunki makes an ideal companion. The fabulous three-in-one ride-on suitcase teaches children to take responsibility for their own belongings - they can pack up their toys and ride along, whilst parents can keep them in tow easily!

With a capacity of 18 litres the Trunki offers plenty of storage room for your child's toys – not to mention being the ideal size and light enough to take on a plane as hand luggage. There are so many designs of Trunki that you can make it a real joy to pick one. From plain ones to ones designed to be a Gruffalo (including teeth and horns!!) check out our great range here.

You’ll see we’ve also got lots of other Trunki products on offer...

Experts say that one of the best ways to remove house dust mites, and therefore reduce the chances of you contracting an allergy, is to wash your bedding once a week at 60 degrees or higher or replace your pillows every year and use allergen-proof barrier covers on mattresses, duvets and pillows.

Fine Bedding Company Spundown bedding is totally machine washable and at 60C you can be sure to kill off those pesky mites. For your chance to win 2 pillows and a duvet from this great range simply like Palmers on Facebook. The winner will be drawn on 01/12/2011.

While we may be a little too old to try the ride ons, our website manager showed us all that no one is too big for a blanket. She stepped up and took 40 winks out of her busy schedule to sample the new SnooziHedz.

Little did she know, Katie was close by to sneakily snap her snoozing! Looks cosy doesn’t it? Get yours here: Trunki SnooziHedz
