Competition: Dezeen is giving readers the chance to win a set of Stackable Snowmen or Happy Little Trees Christmas decorations, both designed by Fruitsuper Design (+ movie).

Seattle-based industrial and product design consultancy Fruitsuper Design has released both winter products just in time for the holidays.

One winner will receive a Stackable Snowmen set, which includes 12 solid hardwood stackable pieces that combine to create three different snowmen.

Mixing and matching the stackable pieces creates 81 possible snowmen, each approximately 15 centimetres tall.

Another winner will receive a Happy Little Trees set, which includes five powder-coated steel models of trees. Each tree is about 13-20 centimetres tall. Both of these wintery sets are available from www.fruitsuperdesign.com.

The thoughtfully designed Coop line of toys brings us back to a simpler time and place when handcrafted perfection (not mass production) was the method of choice. The rideable bike and 2 trikes are an ecological alternative that combine reclaimed wood with premium hardware – easily constructed right out of the box with a simple allen wrench. Better yet, after the toy has outlived its life, you can send it back to be reclaimed again to build new toys and receive a 10% reimbursement!

Competition: Dezeen and Areaware have teamed up to give readers the chance to win one of five white Balancing Blocks sets of wooden toys, signed by the designers Fort Standard.

The stone-shaped building blocks are coated in a water-based paint and are available in white or multi-coloured sets. As the blocks vary in size and shape, they can be stacked to create a large number of patterns and shapes.

Made of oak, each set of ten faceted blocks comes with a printed cotton drawstring pouch that will be signed by the designers especially for this competition.

This set of wooden toys by Polish studio Poorex incorporates tools associated with household chores.

Made out of beech wood, the Poor Toys combine simplified wooden vehicles with household items such as a brush, a plug and a clothes peg.

The Peg Car presents the user with the option of playing housewife or builder by fitting out the truck with a peg in place of a crane. The addition of a plug to the Sink Car allows the user to pick up small blocks that have a corresponding recess.

The Brush Car doubles up as a brush that you can shine your shoes with when you are done playing.
