Giveaways

Nine Years – A Blog Birthday Giveaway

Can you believe I started this little place on the internet nine whole years ago today? In a way it seems like yesterday whilst in a way it seems like such a long time ago…

Every year I celebrate my blog birthday with a giveaway and this year isn’t any different. I’ve put together a bundle of some things I love that I hope you will love too.

But what exactly can you win?

The Perfect Child by Lucinda Berry

This was one of my top 5 books of 2019 and I cannot wait for the sequel. If you love books with twists and turns, then you’ll surely love this book.

The Hunting Party by Lucy Foley

Whilst this didn’t quite make my top 5 books of 2019, I also really enjoyed this book about a group of friends who spend New Year’s Eve in the Scottish Highlands and everything that unravels after one of them is found dead… A thrilling read for sure.

Happy by Fearne Cotton

I haven’t actually read this myself but as I 1) love Fearne Cotton and 2) am really into non fiction at the moment, I thought it would be a worthwhile addition to the prize bundle.

Soap & Glory Irresistibubble miniature bodycare set

I adore Soap & Glory and have given it away on the blog plenty of times in the past. I love this little set and I hope you will too!

For your chance of winning, just fill in the Gleam widget below and answer the mandatory question in the blog comments below:

What posts would you like to see more of in 2020?

Edited to add: I’ve already seeing some fantastic ideas for content – it seems like plenty of you want more book content and I am seeing a lot of votes for fitness content too! This has been very enlightening!

This giveaway is UK only and ends at 11.59pm on the 2nd of February 2020. Good luck. For full terms and conditions, please see the Gleam widget.
