I don't know about you but I love when form and functionality come together so well especially when it involves music. My VQ, a Independent British audio brand does this perfectly with sound and style being forefront to their brand ethos and they have created some very unique and stylish retro inspired digital radios, collaborating with designers such as Emma Bridgewater and Lulu Guinness to create something that is classic but modern in equal measures.
Both John and I collect vinyl and music is something that is very important to us, especially as my eldest is starting to develop his own likes and dislikes when it comes to musical choice (my youngest just dances to everything right now) and we want to continue to encourage his interest in it. I still remember the first time I got my own radio, I was very excited and it was my pride possession for years. We feel our 7yr is at the age he can have his own radio and this Men at Work print is so much fun and perfect a cool kids room.
What I love about these radios is they may be fun but they don't comprise on quality with premium functionality with not only DAB Digital and FM radio but also Bluetooth so you can stream your favourite playlists from Spotify or bedtime stories from Audible which is a far better way to create some calm downtime before bedtime than watching TV. These radios also come with built in alarm clock and sleep timer and is just a great way to introduce children to a love of music in a way that is stylish and child friendly.
Among a variety of Emma Bridgewater designs the Men at Work and Dancing Mice are both beautiful choices for children and these radios retail at £89.99 but if take advantage of the Black Friday Deals on the 24th November it will be £69.99.
Best of all is I have a fantastic giveaway for a reader to win not one but two radios so you can have one to keep and one to give to a friend because music should be shared. It's really easy to enter via rafflecopter below and the competition ends on the 20th November 2017
