This month I thought it would be nice to have a look back on some of the posts I shared in October, alongside teaming up with Sarah from Life in a Break Down to give you the chance to win a Port and Stilton Gift Set!
So, what did I get up to in October?
Frozen Unicorns
Do you love Unicorns do you want a silly game all of the family can play? Then Frozen Unicorns is worth a look at. However, be aware this game might just have you doing some really silly things to earn those points and hopefully come out as the Frozen Unicorn winner!
2020 Reading Challenge
Throughout this year I have been sharing my 2020 reading challenge. In October I wrote up books 26-30. It covered some books I loved and some I really wasn’t sure what to think about, however much I really wanted to love them.
Baby Annabell
Olivia has been having fun joining in the reviews this month, one of which saw her check out the Baby Annabell Lunch Time Annabell and yes she still goes potty. Olivia really loved how interactive this doll was, so if your after gift ideas do check out this post.
Bradfords Gift Hamper
Of course, many people are starting to think about Christmas and with that in mind I’ve been sharing some ideas to get you in the mood. One of which is a hamper from Bradfords Gift Hampers. Containing a whole host of festive treats such as chocolates, conserve, biscuits and more. This is just a small glimpse at some of what Bradfords have on offer.
Degustabox
Most months I review the Degustabox, a food box which ships out monthly and offers subscribers to try different treats all within a theme. Many of the items included in this box would be easily adding to a weekly shopping list, thus giving you a chance to try out items you really could rebuy at any time.
So with a look back on just a few posts out of the way how can you be in with a chance to win?
