You might remember Sylvanian Families from your own childhood, but did you know this year the collectible toy range, which features woodland animals and doll's houses, celebrated its 30th anniversary.
HuffPost UK Parents has teamed up with Sylvanian Families UK to bring your kids the ultimate gift bundle worth £300.
As part of the toy's 30th birthday celebrations, a real life village - Old Basing (Hampshire) - has been named the "Sylvanian Village". People have been voting on social media for the winning village since March.
If you're the lucky winner of this competition, your children can bring their own Sylvanian village to life with this toy bundle.
The bundle includes the following items: Beechwood Hall, Treehouse, Cosy Cottage, Log Cabin, Adventure Treasure Ship, Bluebell Seven Seater, Girls Bedroom Set, Children’s Bedroom Furniture, Chocolate Rabbit Family, Striped Cat Family and Walnut Squirrel Family.
Coming in at just over £300, it's a pretty impressive lot.
View all the toys in the bundle in the slideshow below.
