Win! Leaning Tower of Pisa Espresso Cups!

I'm just back from a blissful holiday and to cheer myself up I thought it was about time for another little giveaway here at Vinspire.

Unfortunately, my travels didn't make it as far as my beloved Italy (I got as far as Norfolk), but now I can basically pretend I'm there thanks to these cute Leaning Tower of Pisa Cups from Menkind! (I can also pretend I'm a giant...)

As soon as I saw them they made me smile - they're basically cute little white ceramic cups that are perfect for an espresso or dips, but when they stack they form a brilliant wobbly homage to a certain well-loved leaning tower.

They might look a little on the unsteady side (yep, I was worried too), but their design means there's no chance of them toppling over, (much like the real tower, I suppose...) so they'll be safe to show off on your kitchen side. And if you can't afford to visit the actual tower, now you can take one of those 'look, I'm holding up the Leaning Tower of Pisa' selfies in your own home... Just me? Oh, okay.

As a major Italy fan (and someone who is actually part Italian, not that I've mentioned that a million times or anything) I just think they're super cute and I'd love to bring them out for after dinner espressos or green tea when I have friends over.

Come to think of it, I could think of a fair few friends they'd be the perfect gift for - which is handy, because they're only £19.99 for the whole stack of six. So it gets a big TICK for value for money too.

I think you get the idea for how much I love them now, and when I saw them I asked Menkind if they'd let us give one of them away and they kindly agreed, so here's your chance to win a set of these Leaning Tower of Pisa cups of your very own!

To enter, please just do any (or all!) of the following:

(Small print: This giveaway is only open to UK residents (sorry, overseas readers!) and entrants must be aged 18 or over. The giveaway closes at midday on Tuesday 5th August and late entries will not be accepted under any circumstances. You may enter once each on Twitter and Facebook, but any further entries will be disqualified. The Leaning Tower of Pisa cups were donated to Vinspire by the lovely guys at Menkind and they have in no way paid us for our opinions - we contacted them to ask about a giveaway after we fell in love with the cups! Unfortunately, none of the Vinspire team is eligible to win the prize (boo!). The winner has 24 hours to come forward, or we'll give the prize to someone else (sorry!) If you have any questions, feel free to email us.)
