win a winter warm-up package from indigo

Is this winter never going to end? In my neck of the woods, we’re bracing for the snowstorm of the year. Meteorologists are promising us a good walloping over the next two days. Great. Fantastic. Wunderbar. As we prepare to hunker down for the next little while, I thought you could all use a little pick-me-up. And what better way to while away the days while winter rages outside, than inside wrapped up in a warm blanket with a hot cup of tea and an un-put-downable book? I don’t know about you but that’s my favourite way to snub winter’s fury. Take that, snow!

So here’s what’s up for grabs, all courtesy of Indigo:

I don’t know what the weather’s like where you live but where I live, it’s getting c-c-cold. I’ve officially traded in my spring/fall coat for something with a bit more heft and I’ve hauled out my scarves and gloves from their summertime hibernation. Brrrr! Some may call it crisp. I just call it cold. Some may call it brisk. I just call it blustery. There’s definitely a nip in the air but what I love most about the chill that chases me home is the comfort that can be found (or created!) indoors. Blankets, candles, pillows, a roaring fire and a hot cup of tea … these are just a few of the joys of winter.

I love these blankets from designer Ian Saude. Made from cashmere, the most luxurious fabric of all, these throws just ooze warmth and comfort. There’s something a little bit traditional, a little bit modern about them but either way, they look like the perfect thing to snuggle up with on a chilly night.
