 T.G.Green & Co.

T.G.Green & Co. first produced Cornishware in the 1920s. The distinctive blue and white banded pottery owes its name to an employee who said it reminded them of the blue sky and white-crested waves of Cornwall.

Over eight decades, Cornishware adorned millions of British homes and become a design classic. In the 1960s, it was updated by a young designer called Judith Onions. It says much for her skill and sensitivity that this restyled range was embraced as warmly as the originals had been.

Over the past 20 years, the range has become highly prized by collectors, with the sighting of both rare original designs and Onions classics the subject of much excitement – and ever-increasing prices.

Congratulations to our 15 winners - they'll be receiving a set of Cornishware Love Cups soon.

 Waterstones & Faber

Priestley’s 1949 book Delight (a magical and unexpected collection of essays from a self-confessed ‘old monster’), Modern Delight is an anthology filled with musings on themes universal, personal, eccentric and everyday – from Harry Hill on the pleasure of tormenting telemarketers and Tom Stoppard who delights in a day when nobody wants him for anything, to Jeremy Paxman on the wonder of frogspawn and India Knight who can’t get enough of twitter.

 Biscuiteers

Why send flowers when you can send biscuits instead?

Biscuiteers love biscuits more than most people. In fact, they’re a bit obsessed, which is why they always send their friends tins full of delicious iced biccies on their birthdays and anniversaries, for holidays or just to say thanks for a lovely weekend.

It's not that they don’t love flowers, chocs or all the rest, it's just that it makes a nice change. So they came up with Biscuiteers. The idea's really very simple: you just choose the biscuit collection you want to send, fill in the message details and then leave the rest to them.

Congratulations to: A.Dorrian - Inverclyde, J.Titus - Surrey, K.Bingham - Hampshire, H.Lambert - London, H.Lambert - London, S.Hughes - Worcestershire, V.Babla - Essex, D.Bedford - Cambridgeshire, L.Johnson - Hampshire, E.Rodgers - Devon, J.Gordon - Aberdeenshire, M.Lane - Avon, P.Gilthorpe - Derbyshire, K.Shanahan - Lincolnshire, A.Patterson - Durham, the 15 winners of a tin of beautiful biscuits from Biscuiteers.
