Last week we ran our annual birthday competition to win a Burstow Armchair in Leather Espresso.

win an armchair

To win we asked you to just tell us what’s the best birthday gift someone has ever given you and why.

We had over 1000 super entries and it took us several rounds of sitting down over tea and biscuits to pick our favourites. We had so many fun, sad, but also heart-warming stories and in the end we only managed to narrow it down to 20 which were then put in one of the ladies fancy handbags in the office and the winner picked out at random!

The winner we are delighted to announce is Emma Foulerton who wrote a brief and to the point entry but which I’m sure you’ll agree is one rather life changing birthday present!...

“My favourite birthday present was a curry... which I believe initiated labour and I had my baby boy the following day!”

Well done Emma our fabulous armchair will be winging its way to you within the next few weeks and thanks to everyone else who shared their stories with us.
