Zazou.eu is celebrating its first birthday this month, so we have plenty of birthday surprises for you, like giveaways, a drawing contest and party dresses.

Winners will be selected in early May. Offer valid for all orders placed from 1 April 2008 until 30 April 2008.

EEEK! - A monster!

Small, independent designers are what Zazou is all about. Maybe you’ve got one of those at home? A free creative spirit with a strong independent streak?! If so, send us his or her funniest, most original, cutest, scariest or favourite drawing of a monster! The best artist wins his or her monster on a Most Wanted T-shirt! *

With every order placed in April, everyone is in with a chance to win free goodies! We are giving away a festoon, a mini-shopper, a Petit Louie T-shirt and a Most Wanted T-shirt (you can pick your model). Winners will be selected in early May. It could be you!
