Above you will see 12 incredible prizes from 12 SUPER generous local designers and retailers. These companies are all genuine Design Files favourites - designers whose work I love, local creatives who I have interviewed and featured on the site over the last 2 years, and fantastic Australian retailers who sell beautiful locally-designed things, and who have been generous enough to sponsor my site this year and offer their gorgeous wares for you guys to win!

In order to enter the Great Design Files Christmas Giveaway, there is one little itsy-bitsy thing you have to do! Please pretty please click here and fill out my first-ever reader survey!

After writing this blog for almost 2 years, I have realised that although you guys know quite a bit about me... but I don't really know much about you! I truly value your feedback, and would really appreciate if you could spend 5 minutes on the survey! Your feedback will really help me make some much-needed improvements to the site in 2010!
