Cocoboat - Conversations to Go :)

I have discovered the most amazing little store with perfect gift ideas if you are starting your Christmas shopping! I have sat, made a list and have EVERYONE covered with unique and fun presents - yep even those that are hard to buy for - how funky is this foot stool and just imagine this doorstop in your shabby chic study!
There is such a personal service from Cocoboat that you really do feel as though you are receiving a present instead of an order. My parcel came boxed, wrapped in gorgeous pale blue tissue and adorned with the cutest little Cocoboat sticker and ribbons.
Upon unwrapping i was surprised to see that the Conversations to Go Box was a lot bigger than i first thought!
I have previously bought conversation kits from well known stores and they are the smallest of boxes with tiny writing that, to be honest, after a few drinks you cant even read! lol
This Conversations to Go box holds many great conversation starters, the title of the set is money and there are questions in there ranging from 'What would you do if you won the lottery?' to ' Would you prefer money or candy at Halloween?'
This isnt just a set for grown-ups, we have had so much fun finding out about what our boys think of money too. Questions like 'Is money good or bad' and 'Is a credit card the same as cash?' have led to answers about how easily influenced kids are today by big names and the lure of 'free money'
I would highly recommend this set to anyone - dinner party conversation starters, spending more family time together or even as a platform to spark youre own issues with money - go on its fun!!

Thanks to the lovely Sarah from Cocoboat I have another Conversations To Go box to giveaway, all you have to do is leave a comment below and make sure i can contact you if you win - good luck, i will announce the winner on Monday :)
