Breakfast Is Beautiful Giveaway

It’s a little ridiculous how easy it is to fall into a rut with breakfast. After all, the supposed most important meal of the day is also the one you’re preparing while you’re the most exhausted (and by that rule, generally least creative and motivated.) So many people scarf down a completely lackluster first meal (we’re looking at you, plain cereal or “eh” breakfast sandwich) every morning for months at a time without considering how many other delicious options there are out there.

And then there are people who see breakfast in a totally inspired light. Like Jen Taylor, the designer behind happy, graphic decor company Hokolo, who let traditional English breakfast foods inspire her latest collection. Placemats with big bold blueberries, hand towels featuring sunny eggs, totes printed with juicy currants, and more.

Mmmm currant and almond oatmeal (get the recipe from Win-Win Food) alongside a cozy lambswool throw featuring more yummy currants.

We’re excited to partner with our friends at GREAT.LY as well as brilliant food stylists White on Rice Couple for a giveaway of the cheerful and chic Hokolo pieces we have in our shop; specifically FOUR pieces, each going to five lucky winners. We’re looking for winners who inspire us with their breakfasts — here’s how to enter:

  1. Post an Instagram photo of your beautiful breakfast with the hashtag #greatlybeautifulbreakfast
  2. Follow @handmadecharlotte, @hellogreatly, and @dianecu

Looking for some additional inspiration? We’ve rounded up some delicious recipes inspired by Hokolo pieces… including some never-thought-you’d-try-them combinations.

Now consider a salad to satisfy a totally different palate — this one with tomatoes, orange, and onions (with a good dose of olive oil and herbs) from Luna Cafe has a Mediterranean feel. (On the right: artwork by Hokolo. How fantastic are those stripes?!)

This one is kind of a dream breakfast. We doubt you’re going to dig into cheesecake every morning, but this vegan one — with a crust made from nuts and dates, from This Rawsome Vegan Life — is good for a special, indulgent occasion. Now tell us, do oranges and blueberries look better together on this treat or on the cozy scarf? We’ll call it a tie.

OK, now what are you waiting for?! Go snap a photo of your breakfast (or start prepping the ingredients for an epic meal tomorrow morning). We can’t wait to see how you’re starting the day.

And don’t forget our giveaway of the cheerful and chic Hokolo pieces!
