I’m so excited that Christmas is drawing ever closer! I’ve got plenty of gift guides coming up, hopefully the return of my advent giveaways with Sarah and of course, advent competitions for the seasoned compers among us!
To ease the Christmas finances a little, I’ve teamed up with Sarah and Rachel to bring you a fantastic competition for a £100 Amazon voucher for one lucky reader of our blogs! Whether you choose to put it towards Christmas presents or keep it for the sales after Christmas, I hope you will enjoy it very much!
This year has been a real downer, hasn’t it? We haven’t had much good news, any of us, and if we can do anything to brighten up someone’s day, then why not? All three of us love entering the odd comp so why not do something we love that we know others will too?
I can’t believe Christmas is so close but let me tell you – I am so excited for it! All the Christmas TV, all the foods you can’t get at any other time of year, a few weeks of doing absolutely nothing but chilling at home with family. What could be better? I’ve already ordered the Christmas tree, I’ve already started buying presents and I am tempted to start the food shop too! What about you?
For your chance of winning, just fill in the Gleam widget below. This giveaway is international (for those not in the UK, the prize can be sent in an Amazon voucher in their local currency or via PayPal) and ends at 11.59pm GMT on the 7th of December 2020. Good luck!
What would you buy if you won?
To all the bright and sparkly decorations and a turkey dinner!

Hi looking forward to Christmas
Awww how lovely is this post and prior made me emotional reading the replies. I would love to get my sister and brother in law one of those robot vacuums. She got made redundant from her job in retail and started working in a hospital a month ago – so proud of her ❤️ so now they are both working at the hospital and this would mean she can pop her feet up with a brew at the end of the day
