Hi all,
Well, we've come up with a design competition 
The back story:
We're happily gaffing around in our new Beaconsfield offices for a couple of weeks now. And while we are as happy as little puppies with a new squeaky toy, it seems we've already managed to upset our neighbours a bit...
We've had a complaint come in that we make a lot of noise stomping around in our office and the downstairs neighbour would really like it if we could... well... not make so much noise while walking around!
Well, the person in question might just have a small point and here's why:
Whoops, I guess creating the hallway slip 'n slide was taking it one step too far 
(cardboard boxes from the move come in handy after all... great fun though!)
Also, us stomping along with 'We will rock you' by Queen, while singing at the top of our voices probably didn't go down too well either. We might have to adjust our fancy footwork.
Talking about fancy footwork... you just have to see Robbie's impression of Beyonce! Man, he is gooood 
(perhaps aggravating the situation because he had tapdancing shoes on...)
Hmmm, just writing this short list, and I haven't even gotten to the end of it by far, does give me an inkling of why we got the complaint in the first place.
Ah well..
And so we get to our design competition:
The design brief:
Seeing as we apparently stomp around so much in our offices, rather then to stop stomping, we have to change our footwear me thinks
So we would like you to come up with a giffgaff slipper!
So you can come up with anything! You can be as creative as you want, but saying that, Claire would like them to be designer ones, and preferably sensible.. naming all kinds of brands I know nothing about. (Psssst...Don't do it! Where's the fun in that?)
The price:
Well, aside from making our downstairs neighbour happy?
If we like the slipper, we'll get them made and we each here, get a pair, and the designer obviously gets a pair as well.
So good luck and I look forward to getting some designs in!
Update: The competition closes Sunday the 7th of March.
Cheers,
Vincent

Hi guys,
Here goes my attempt at a novel giffgaff slipper for the giff-staffers to enjoy!
I decided that it should be more of a slipper boot for extra comfort and will be made from the same super comfy material that giffgaff used to make their original Cuddle Monster with. The interior will be a warm, fluffy material for snugness and the arms will have velcro to allow the wearer a little fun by attaching the arms to the bottom of their PJ's, cross them etc... 
The sole will be made of the same grip material that those Totes socks use only I'd have the giffgaff coloured squares and of course a large giffgaff logo there too for spiderman like grip! lol
If you like this design idea then show a little Kudos lovin by clicking on the Kudos star peeps!
