We’re thrilled to announce our first Twitter party of the year, sponsored by TK Maxx, which promises to be a fantastic tip-swapping “do” along with prizes worth £1,000!
The experience of becoming a parent is priceless, but the cost of a new baby now tops £3,000, according to research. But what’s all money for? Do you really need infant ear warmers or that big plastic thingy you’re supposed to use…well, you don’t know what for.
Now’s your chance to find out – or share all that hard-won from your baby’s first years. The #babyessentials Twitter party on Wednesday 11 January from 13:00 to 14:00 is a conversation where parents can talk about the products families really need as well as tweet frankly about the things to skip.
The party is sponsored by TK Maxx, which is having a nursery event for babies from 0-12 months throughout January. You can buy everything to prepare for new baby – from moses baskets to bottle sterilisers – all up to 60% off! (Find a store near you.)
How to join the Twitter party
Join the conversation and tweet a tip, comment or question about the prams, feeding equipment, clothing, safety kit, gadgets and gifts designed for new parents to take part and be eligible to win prizes.
Plus, you could become the proud parent of a TK Maxx gift card
TK Maxx is providing as prizes eight £100 TK Maxx gift cards and one Grand Prize £200 gift card (which can buy a lot of babygros…or a discounted designer outfit for yourself). To be entered into the random drawing, tweet a tip or comment during party on Wednesday 11 January before 14:00.

Are you going to be publishing the list? I was chatting about this to some newbie mums and they are interested in the list.
