I received the chess set in return for running this competition
Today I want to share with you a little about Jaques London and then offer you the chance to win one of their luxury chess sets.
Jaques London have been inventing and making toys & games since 1795, they believe in the power of play and quality family time spent together.
They have gifts for babies through to adults, and the website is laid out in a shopper friendly way, as you can shop by age, by gift recipient, by bestsellers and more.
Go have a browse and check out all of the wooden toys and games available.
I enjoyed browsing and I now have my eye on more wooden games for us to all play together and a few gifts for my baby niece. So many temptations!
Today, I’ve received a luxury chess set that I want to show off to you and offer you the chance to win one yourself.
Luxury Chess Set
15 inch folding book style chess set, with Staunton style pieces. This beautiful 15 inch folding travel chess set from Jaques offers stunning hand carved wooden Staunton chessmen and is ideal for playing on the move.
Little Man has recently expressed an interest in learning how to play chess so I had a look at the great range of chess sets that Jaques London have on offer.
I think this will make the perfect Christmas gift for him.
It is beautifully packaged, making it a gorgeous looking gift to receive and open.
As you open it up, the chess board is wrapped in pretty illustrated paper, and I like the special touch of the handwritten card.
The board folds up so it is handy and portable, as all of the pieces are stored inside the folded board.
The pieces are all wooden and kept in place neatly, so they are not all rolling around inside, bumping up against each other.
It comes with a basic rules of chess set of instructions so you can get going straight away with this.
It takes moments to get the board set up, and there is a diagram to ensure you have every piece in the right place.
We have bought Little Man a book to go with this, and I have a feeling he’ll be beating me in no time at all!
I just know that he’s going to love this, and I can see this being a chess set that will last for years, and I hope, be treasured.
Thanks, Jaques London.
