When was the last time you truly slowed down?
At Nutchel, we believe in embracing the quiet rhythm of the forest. Not just as an escape, but as a way to reconnect with the essentials. In our cosy cabins, life becomes simpler. You light a lantern instead of flipping a switch. You cook together, talk more, scroll less. There’s no rush. Just moments that stretch and deepen.
As part of our celebration of mindful living, we're thrilled to announce a unique Instagram giveaway contest, created in collaboration with 3 like-minded brands: Nature & Découvertes, Kidywolf, and BINI KIT. Each of them shares our values, inspiring curiosity, creativity, and more conscious ways of consuming.
Before we dive into the details of the prizes, let us take you on a little journey through the Nutchel experience and how it can gently transform the way we relate to the things we use every day.
A Nutchel stay is not about giving things up. It’s about rediscovering the joy of doing less, with more presence. No TV, no plastic, no digital noise. Just essential objects, chosen with care. You’ll e.g. find oil lamps casting soft light at dusk, simple glasses and metal cutlery, ready for shared meals, firewood stacked beside the stove, waiting for a slowevening.
These small rituals aren’t about aesthetics. They shape how we move through the day. With fewer distractions, our senses open up. We become aware of the weight of a ceramic mug, the creak of a wooden floor, the smell of forest air after rain.
It’s not about minimalism as trend. It’s about intention. And that’s something that stays with you, even after the holiday ends.
Many people associate slow living with having less. But at Nutchel, we like to say: have the right things.
We believe in objects that serve a purpose. Not just functionally, but emotionally. A thermos that keeps tea warm through a long hike. A telescope that opens a child’s eyes to the stars. A mug that becomes your morning ritual. These aren’t “things”. They’re part of your story.
The brands we’ve partnered with for this Instagram giveaway contest embody this mindset.
Let’s meet them.
As a beloved French brand, Nature & Découvertes offers nature-inspired products that awaken curiosity and mindfulness. Whether you’re exploring the wilderness or stargazing from your garden, their gear is designed to deepen your connection with the world around you.
Their prize bundle includes: 1 Stanley water bottle, 1 JBL speaker, 1 camera, 1 Mizar telescope
This discovery bundle is perfect for families and adventurers who want to explore with intention.
Kidywolf is a Belgian brand creating creative, educational toys for curious kids. Their products encourage active learning and spark imagination. A perfect fit for the little explorers at Nutchel.
Their prize bundle includes: 1 Kidy microscope, 1 Kidymic, 1 Kidydraw-mini, 1 Kidyprint
In a world of passive screens, these hands-on tools empower kids to create, observe, and tell their own stories.
BINI KIT makes eco-friendly, reusable tableware for kids, designed to be fun, practical, and planet-friendly. Their sets make children proud to take ownership of their meals, whether at home or in the forest.
Their prize bundle includes: 1 plate, 1 set of cutlery, 1 reusable mug, 1 cotton carry bag
Because even mealtime can become a joyful ritual of independance and care.
And of course… the highlight of the giveaway:
Nutchel offers a 2-night stay in a forest cabin with hot tub that can accomodate up to 6 guests, at Nutchel Alsace or Nutchel Les Ardennes
Imagine soaking in a hot tub under the stars. Cooking with your kids. Waking to birdsong and the scent of pine trees. This is slow living, and it could be yours.
At Nutchel, we often hear parents say: “My kids played for hours outside without even asking for a screen!”
Children thrive when we slow the pace. They notice bugs. They build huts. They invent games with sticks and leaves. And when you give them tools, like their own BINIKIT mug, or a Kidywolf microscope, they don’t just use them. They treasure them.
Slow living teaches kids independence, responsibility, and wonder. It shows them that not everything needs to be fast, flashy, or disposable.
A Nutchel stay may only last a few days, but the lessons linger.
Here are a few ways to carry the slow lifestyle into your everyday:
Living slowly doesn’t mean living without. It means living with more meaning.
This Instagram giveaway contest is more than a marketing moment. It’s a celebration of shared values, of experiences over excess, of connection over consumption.
Together with Nature & Découvertes, Kidywolf, and BINI KIT, we’ve curated a selection of prizes that enrich your daily life, in the forest or at home.
