  1. I´d loooove to see animal character hats!!! (Especially the fox!)
    Next definitely would be posters. Large ones. I already tore my Frankie calendar appart so I could hang your pictures, but still....they are too small for my liking.
    And the third one would be curtains. I love colorful patterns on curtains but frankly most of the curtains you get in stores are rather boring. I think you have the amazing talent of telling stories through your artwork (as you already do with your blankets). I´d love forest curtains. :)

    The hofdi scarf would be wonderful for my ever-sore throat!!!
    My email is: blumennelly(at)gmail(dot)com

    Thank you for the wonderful give-away!!!
    XOXO;
    Natalie

  4. Hello :)
    You already have such a beautiful, broad spectrum of products but perhaps some more florals would be nice? Mid-century 60s inspired simple pop florals. Also I'm a big fan of oversized knitwear so a shawl sized or really super, super chunky scarf range would be interesting and last of all maybe a space scene or solar system childrens blanket could be adorable with cute little planets and stars - this would be adorable for a little boys room!

    Love the Hofdi Scarf, but both are super beautiful!

    Thanks Jess x

  6. Oh my, a chance to win a scarf! I love the caterpillar!

    I hope I can inspire you with products that pop up in my head for you.
    How about a very looooong knitted creature to keep away the cold from my windows?
    Or nice knitted cardigans ( please do! I will be your custumor...) for adults?
    Or small carpets especially for bathrooms?

    Have a nice day, xxx

  7. Gorgeous! I would LOVE the caterpillar scarf.
    My product ideas are:

    - A jumper with kittens on
    - A giant woolly blanket covered in orange chickens
    - A squirrely biscuit barrel

    (I'd want all three for a nice cosy evening on the sofa with my cats)

  13. I'm very cold right now, so I think more blankets and cushions and hats and scarves and mittens. A nice rug to lie on in front of the fire - maybe a giant knitted creature with a stuffed head and flat body. I agree with the commenter above that bedding would be great or perhaps a giant blanket to go over a king-size bed? Mmmm! Cosy!

    I'd love the hofdi scarf if I won :)

  14. My 3 suggestions would be:

  24. What a lovely giveaway! I would love to get a Caterpillar Scarf for my little boy.

    You are the queen of wool so I think will be great to see some clothes for children - sweaters with animals and monsters ?
    Your beautiful patterns from blankets can also look great on some wall paper or some posters for children room. That will be great to have!
    Thank you for the chance. Best from rainy Netherlands.Agata

  25. Unfortunately Monocat has met his match in the form of my puppy Sophie, who much prefers him to any of her own toys! So it's no surprise that I would like Donna to make a small toy that could stand up to Sophie. Also, since I know Sophie dreams of foxes , I would like her to have a Donna Wilson bed. And since it's so cold in our Canadian winters, I would love a red fox sweater to keep my little dachshund warm.
    And for me, I'd love the caterpillar scarf!

  26. 1) I would like nordic inspired thermal pyjama sets for those cold nights skinny ski base layer style perhaps matching adult and children?
    2) a hand muffler these could be cute animal ones or patterned ones for ice skating season.
    3) wallpaper. i love your pram print but dont have a baby..... maybe even bed covers aswell. Ooooh.

    I like Hofdi scarf but my mother always said dont look a gift horse in the mouth so would be ecstatic with either. Malini

  30. The Hofdi scarf is absolutely darling! I would cozy up in it everyday if I were so lucky as to win.
    As temperatures drop I would love to see warm pajamas for both me and my little to snuggle in. Bed linens with your designs would be darling, and I would jump at a pair of Mog or Wolfie (any of your creatures, really) slippers to keep tiny toes toasty!

    Cheers!

  37. Being a scarfoholic I would love it if some of Big Teds och Mogs relatives found their way in to the world of scarfs. A Donna Wilson diary or calender would also be great! Perhaps with small stories for each week. I prefer the Hofdi Scarf.

  40. Almost imposible to choose but I think I´ll go for the hofdi, I would love to see a teapotwarmer (don´t know the exact english word, but I think you know what I mean) from your hand!

    ReplyDelete
  41. They are both gorgeous, but I would love the caterpillar one which I would share with my little girl. Three new products - animal hats for big and little people, bed linen for snuggling up in and - trays and chopping boards with animal heads, acorns etc. I would then be sorted for all of my Christmas presents!

    ReplyDelete
  42. I would wear any tights that you made!!! The quirky styles are fabulous and would style well in winter, also I think ear muffs - for that retro feel and chunky belts for winter cardigan styling :)

  46. I love the caterpillar scarf! As for products I think slippers would be lovely, a large face fruit-bowl - really big to fit lots of fruit! and with pattern inside for when it's not so full. And how about fabric.

    ReplyDelete
  47. I would love to win the Hofdi scarf (well, I would really love to win either of them, but since a choice had to be made...). Some new things that I would like to see Donna Wilson make are pencil cases, tights, and someone up there mentioned long creatures to keep the cold from coming in at the windows... I would like to second that! Also, I just wanted to say that I think it's wonderful that you are making the new tartan for Aberdeen! I am living there (here) now and I can't wait to see how it turns out. Also, I love the way that you are involving local kids in this and teaching them about colour. Wonderful!!

  49. I adore that hofdi scarf! Having spent the past few weeks scratching my head over Christmas gifts for my dad I would love if you stocked patterned braces, bow ties or pocket squares - it's so difficult to come by really unique versions of these.

    ReplyDelete
  50. I simply adore everything you create! In hope of winning the Hofdi scarf, might I suggest the following:

    1) An adorable stripy or patchy kitty scarf that wraps around the neck like the fox or bunny scarf.
    2) A range of woolen pouches in your lovely patterns, perhaps even in the Nos Da fabric.
    3) A long stick umbrella with a crook handle, featuring your creatures or your graphic patterns.

    ReplyDelete
  51. I am enchanted by Hofdi:)

    Maybe you can make big bins for toys in lovely colours or better yet in some groovy pattern of yours.

    And how about some funky animal slippers?

    And I would go ga-ga over one of those old school hand muffs!

    Cheers to you and your time, you guys rock!

    ;)

  52. I love that 'Blah blah' design, just adorable!
