Welcome to day 4 of my #CMBigBirthdayBonanza
We are off to two festivals this year. One for the kids – LolliBop – you can win a family ticket here, and Camp Bestival in Dorset.
We went to Camp Bestival last year, but only as day guests. This year we are going to experience all four days of fun, but being camping novices we are on the look out for things we need to take.
Last year the one thing that we took that was a godsend was our picnic blanket as we could sit and relax whilst watching our favourite acts on stage. Luckily we had great weather, but what would happen if it rained?
Let me introduce you to the Gigsak – the picnic blanket that can keep you dry in the rain and keeps you warm when the temperature drops.
- Use it as a traditional picnic blanket
- Turn it inside out and shelter from the rain
- Pop your legs inside to keep you warm if it gets cold
The waterproof layer is made from the same material as your umbrella, so it dries quickly too!
The Gigsak comes in two colours – traditional Plaid or the bright pink Daisy print.
The lovely team behind this fabulous new product have given me one Gigsak to give away in the pink daisy print.

I would use the Gigsak in my back garden, as the garden chairs are stuck at the back of the shed, and it would provide shelter handy when the heavens inevitably open!
I would try the Gigsak out in my back garden first as the garden chairs are stacked at the back of the shed; it will provide a handy shelter when the heavens inevitably open.

Or a rerun of the night we spent sitting on our kitchen windowsill (on the third floor) with our legs dangling out watching the rain and thunderstorm over the hills! We used our picnic blanket over our legs but it wasn’t as good as this prize!
