Every day I will offer you a new chocolate bar and a little something too, edible or decorative.
For 12 days I will be revealing a part of an overall prize, and each day there will be a new question.
As stipulated in the T&Cs below, the number of winners will depend on how many questions the first randomly selected winner will answer. If they answered all 12 questions, they get the whole lot. If they choose to answer less questions, they'll get less prizes, and the remaining part of the prize will go to the next randomly selected winner.
Day 1:
I was thrilled to discover that M&S now sells Novi chocolate. I often buy it when we visit my in-laws in Italy. Nocciolato al latte is an excellent extra fine milk chocolate with whole hazelnuts. It's a real treat, and if you haven't tried it yet, now is your chance to do so.
And Elsa from Frozen is another M&S find. If I were a child, I'd totally fall in love with this Christmas tree decoration.
To be in with a chance of winning, please answer the following question(s)
Question 1 (01.12.15): What's your best Christmas memory?
Day 2:
From the Italian chocolate we now move to the British one. Today's prize includes an M&S Jersey milk chocolate bar as well as Twinings The Full English Breakfast Blend. Tea and chocolate, two of life's simple pleasures.
Question 2 (2.12.15): Christmas jumpers - yay or nay? Will you be buying one for yourself or your family?
Day 3:
The chocolate bar of the day is Willie's Cacao Luscious Orange. It's a delicate orange flavoured chocolate with honey notes. And a little something this time is a paperback A Gingerbread Cafe for Christmas by Rebecca Raisin. I haven't read this book, but it looks like a cozy romantic chick lit story.
Question 3 (03.12.15): What gift do you most anticipate to give for Christmas and who's your lucky recipient?
Day 4:
Cadbury Dairy Milk Winter Edition and two wooden tags from Gisela Graham limited join in the rest of the prize haul today.
Question 4 (04.12.15): If you could choose any destination in the world to spend Christmas in, what would it be, or would you still prefer to spend it at home?
Day 5:
Apologies for the later start. I had a manic week, and needed a bit of lie-in this morning. Today's addition to the prize is Thorntons Fabulous Fudge Milk Chocolate and two mini jars of Rowse honey - English Wildflower and Greek.
Christmas is a time to indulge for many people. I'm partial to a slice or two of panettone, and of course, all the cheese with nuts and dried fruit, and if I am offered a glass of port or sherry, who am I to say No?!
Day 5 question (05.12.15): What is your favourite seasonal treat?
Day 6:
Oi, we are already half-way through. Today's treats are a Special Toffee milk chocolate from Thorntons and a mini-bottle of Baileys. Treat yourself and add it to your cup of coffee, or use in baking, for example, you might be tempted to make this scrummy Baileys cheesecake found on Madhouse and Family Reviews blog.
Day 6 question (06.12.15): What's your favourite Christmas song?
(I confess I am quite fond of the cheesy Last Christmas, it takes me back to my high school and University days).
Day 7:
Today's part of the prize is rather girlie - there is an M&S Rose & Violet Dark chocolate and a no.7 nail polish in a festive red shade.
Day 7 question (07.12.15): What is your ideal Christmas breakfast?
Day 8:
Montezuma's Dark Chocolate with lime and sea salt and Waitrose Cooks' Cinnamon sticks are added to the growing bundle of goodies.
Question 8 (08.12.15) : What is your favourite Christmas film/animation?
Day 9:
Today's chocolate bar is one of my favourites - Lindt Excellence Coconut Intense Dark and a small bottle of Stardust. Well, don't we all need a bit of stardust in our life?
Question 9 (09.12.15): Will you be attending a pantomime this year (if yes, which one do you plan to watch)?
Day 10:
For a festive touch how about a Marzipan Ritter Sport? And a Peace Christmas tree decoration?
Question 10 (10.12.15) : What do you most anticipate watching at Christmas? (Sherlock Holmes, Downton Abbey, Call the Midwife, Strictly or anything else)
Day 11:
My bad, with no hot water running, dealing with the plumber and going out for dinner I have completely forgot to add the photo and the question. Apologies. In fact I was wondering why there were no comments for day 11, as I was convinced I have added it in the morning as usual.
So, for day 11 you will get a Magnum Signature milk chocolate and a little matchbox puzzle.
Question for day 11 (11.12.15): Do you play board games at Christmas with your family, and which one is your favourite?
Day 12:
The last chocolate bar is Thorntons Mint Crunch. I have also added a little stocking-shaped baking mould.
Question for Day 12 (12.12.15):
From all the chocolate bars in this giveaway which one would you like to try first?
I hope you enjoyed taking part in my chocolate giveaway. I definitely enjoyed reading all your answers.
You have until tomorrow midnight to catch up with all the questions if you've missed any for a chance to win the whole lot. But if you missed a day or two or three and don't have time to answer all the questions, no worries, you are still in the draw, and might win a prize for the days you have taken part.
Good luck!
T&Cs:
The giveaway is open to the UK residents only.
There will be one or more winners, who will receive all the goodies appearing during the twelve days of the giveaway. If the first winner has replied to all twelve questions, they will receive the whole lot.
If the first winner answered less questions, they will receive the prizes from those days only.
The remaining prizes will be allocated to the next winner(s).
I hope I don't have to send twelve different packages though.
The more questions you answer, the bigger your prize will be.
Only one entry per person is allowed.
If you missed a day, you will have a chance to catch up on any other day until the end of the giveaway, as long as it comes in a SEPARATE comment.
Please note, if you answer 12 questions in one comment, it will count as 1 entry.
Once the winner is selected randomly, I will count their replies.
I will contact the winner, who will have 7 days to reply with their address details. Due to the nature of the prize which I hope to dispatch in good time before Christmas, the time limit to get back to me is shorter than usual.
All the prizes are provided by me.
I will be posting the package(s) at my own cost.
If the winner's away when the parcel arrives and is not able to rearrange the redelivery, and if by some chance it is returned to me, please do not expect me to cover the cost of the postage again. If that happens, the prize will be taken to the local food bank (foods) and charity shops (non-perishables).
And that's all, folks.
Good luck!
Now the moment of truth... After writing down all the names on slips of paper, I have asked my 5-year-old to pick up one of the pieces out of the hat. And the name he has picked out of the hat is
... Hannah I.
Please give Hannah a big round of applause...
Hannah, I have found you on Facebook and sent you a message. Hope you'll enjoy all that chocolate.
Merry Christmas, folks!
Happy December! My favourite Christmas memory is from my childhood. My brother and I had woollen knitted stockings to put on the fire place on Christmas Eve. One Christmas Eve, my mum and grandma were hunting all over the house trying to find the Christmas stockings, thinking that they were missing. They then found my brother and I, hidden behind the sofa, trying on the Christmas stockings to see if we could wear them! Must have been a funny sight!
ReplyDeleteQuestion 1 - my best Christmas memory is racing downstairs to look under the tree and see if Father Christmas had been ... there was always that very slight moment of doubt that maybe he'd have accidentally forgotten our house this year !
ReplyDeleteMine is seeing my kids faces last year when we wrapped up the living room door with christmas paper for them to burst through on christmas morning before getting their presents!
ReplyDelete@ashlallan
Playing an angel in the Christmas Nativity at school. I was so excited to have been chosen by the teacher.
ReplyDeleteGetting up very early with my sister and opening all our presies before everyone else
ReplyDeleteI love remembering curling up on the sofa with my nan on Christmas Eve watching Cagney & Lacey! :)
ReplyDeletewhen i opened my gifts for 2013 and found out i had been given a trip to USA!! wow lol
ReplyDeleteWhen I still believed in Father Christmas, I was always more excited by checking he'd eaten his mince pie than opening presents! :)
ReplyDeleteOpening my iPad that I had no idea about and taking a selfie straight away! :D
ReplyDeleteMy unusual Christmas spent in Australia in 40 degree heat!
ReplyDeleteI remember one year me and my younger brother woke up at around 3am... we sneaked downstairs to find Santa had already been! Yay!!! We were good though, didn't open a single thing. We did get every single present and line it up in two lines in the order we wanted to open them in though lol :)
ReplyDeleteI remember receiving an orange shirt with a white collar from my Grandma. It was hideous, but I loved it until I got the mickey taken out of my at school
ReplyDeleteQuestion 1 - My best Christmas memory was waking up and feeling the weight of my Christmas stocking on my feet, there was something so magical about opening your stocking even though it never had anything major in it, just knowing Santa had been and left it was exciting enough
ReplyDeleteWhen I was 12 I woke up and found a tag attached to a piece of string that led down to the garage where I found a racing bike, I spent most of the day out on my new bike.
ReplyDeleteWatching Santa Claus: The Movie with my mum, nan and sister every Christmas eve. We love that film...I still watch it now. Nan used to always cry at the happy ending which we used to laugh about...funny how I am soppy at films now!
ReplyDeleteWhen my daughter first saw the Christmas lights and got excited :)
ReplyDeleteMy best Christmas memory is the year I asked Father Christmas for an enormous teddy, and I got the most gigantic bear that was bigger than me! (Who I imaginatively called Big Bear...)
ReplyDeleteQuestion 1 - My best Christmas memory is going to my Uncle's house for a huuge dinner.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was a child, 50+ years ago, my father was extremely strict, and enforced a rule that my sister & I were only allowed to keep one Christmas present each. The others had to be boxed up & sent to the local hospital "for the poor sick children". One Boxing Day, after we had given away most of our gifts, and my sister & I were playing with our one remaining toy each, some old friends of my father's showed up unexpectedly. To our surprise they gave my sister & I a gift each. It was great as we knew that we would be allowed to keep the toys as my father would not be able to lie to these friends if they asked him in the future how we liked our toys. My toy was a fuzzy felt scene, which seemed to me to be the best present ever because it broke the 1 gift rule.
ReplyDeleteYay to Christmas jumpers! Love them, may not buy them for myself but happily for others and I wouldn't mind receiving a christmas jumper either! :)
ReplyDeleteDay 2: Yay to Christmas jumpers! I have one but I need to get some for my husband & kids.
ReplyDeleteWe love Christmas jumpers. We have a tradition that we all make our own jumpers, and then a secret ballot is held for the best jumper which wins a special gift. Lots of creativity is involved, one year my son wore a green sweatshirt and jogging pants and decorated himself with tinsel with a star on his head, so it was a full Christmas outfit rather than just a jumper. This year we will have to make an exception and allow purchased sweaters, because our baby granddaughter cannot be expected to make her own outfit, and her parents (my daughter & son-in-law) are far too busy to be making jumpers.
ReplyDeleteChristmas Jumper - YAY! I made myself one, it's a sweatshirt with felt Christmas decorations and lights........BLING BLING BLING!!! the rest of my family have shop bought ones
ReplyDeleteI love Christmas jumpers (as long as they are not itchy lol) - it helps me feel more festive!
ReplyDeleteChristmas jumpers - YAY
ReplyDeleteDay 2 - I've never had a Christmas jumper, but I think I would enjoy one as a present.
ReplyDeleteDay 2 - yay to Christmas jumpers! I've actually never had one, but I think they're fab and I'm hoping to pick one up this year after Christmas, for next year :)
ReplyDeleteDay 2 - Yay to Christmas jumpers - I already have a few I've collected over the years.
ReplyDeleteDay 2 - my kids have Christmas jumpers
ReplyDeleteDay 2 - my kids have Christmas jumpers
ReplyDeleteDay 2 - we've never done the Christmas jumper idea in our house, so nay!
ReplyDeleteday 2- yay to christmas jumpers
ReplyDeleteDay 3 - I am most looking forward to giving my son an electric keyboard as it is his most anticipated gift.
ReplyDeleteI've got my son some Marvel Superhero Lego and I'm excited to see his face!
ReplyDeleteShark socks to my sister
ReplyDeleteDay 2 - NAY NAY. No way. But the Novi Nocciolato, oh yes. My family were telling me the other night they'd bought a couple of bars but left them behind and they were gutted, as they love them.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter is getting a huuuuuuge Doc MCStuffins vet centre. She's going to love it!
ReplyDeleteDay 1 - Pretty much every Christmas until age 8, when I still believed in Santa and we would leave out mince pies and sherry for him. Plus a carrot for the reindeer! It was so magical back then :)
ReplyDeleteDay 2 - We all still have our jumpers from last year that we bought from Primark!
ReplyDeleteDay 3 - I'm giving my Nan an ereader, as she is struggling to read her books now as her eyesight is getting worse. I'm going to load it up with a load of books that I know she'll love!
ReplyDeleteI'm giving my mum a ruby ring to match her birth stone, cannot wait to see what she thinks!
ReplyDeleteDay 2: YAY! I won't be buying a new one though. I have two different ones from the last few years so I will wear them.
ReplyDeleteDay 3: I am going to give my fiance a ninendo 3ds game. He will love it!
ReplyDeleteDay 3 - I've got my brothers some pretty cool sweets from a weird candy store. Christmas gifts will be pretty sparse this year, so theres not much anticipation to be honest!
ReplyDeleteI have got my daughter the Look Fantastic boxes Christmas edition she really wants
ReplyDeleteDay 3 - A kindle for my mum.
ReplyDeleteDay 1 - 2007 was the year I got married and the first time I spent Christmas with my husband as we had always been to our families before then. It was perfect :)
ReplyDeleteDay 2: yay! We all have one, my daughter has quite a collection now as they're handed down to her!
ReplyDeleteDay 3: a wooden pram and doll, complete with hand knitted blanket for my daughter. When we were at toddler group this morn my daughter kept walking up to the dolls saying "Oooooh" I really hope she likes it.
ReplyDeleteQuestion 3 - the chocolate hamper I am putting together which is for my mum :)
ReplyDeleteQuestion 4: I have spent it in Australia once and it just made me realised it's not the same unless you're at home with family.
ReplyDeleteI think I'd love to spend Christmas in a cabin in the middle of nowhere somewhere in Scotland!
ReplyDeleteday 3- my partners big present , tickets to the theatre xx
ReplyDeleteDay 4 - I'd love to spend Christmas in Lapland! We went there a few years ago, a couple of weeks before Christmas and it was just a magical place.

ReplyDeleteDay 4 I would love to be some where snowy snow on Christmas day is a dream
ReplyDeleteDay 4 - I would choose home :) I love being at home with all the people I care about around me, and familiarity!
ReplyDeleteDay 4: I love being at home but it would be kind of cool to see what Christmas is like in Australia.
ReplyDeleteDay 4: For me, Christmas wouldn't be Christmas if I wasn't at home.
ReplyDeletequestion 3. this year I am looking forward to giving my baby granddaughter her fist Christmas gifts. Apart from a couple of toys I have won, she will be getting things I have made. I have been crocheting a blanket since November, in between making a patchwork quilt for her (a toddler bed size one rather than crib sized, so it gets more use). If I finish those in time I want to make her a crocheted dress and bolero.
ReplyDeleteDay 4 - Would be nice to spend Christmas in Mauritius with the family
ReplyDeleteDay 4 - I love Christmas in the UK but would love a cosy lodge with all the family to make it extra special!
ReplyDeleteQuestion 4. I have sent Christmas in places as diverse as Switzerland, Gabon (in equatorial Africa) and Abu Dhabi, so the actual location does not really matter, so long as I am with my family. It is nice to be somewhere with Christmas lights, markets, special programmes on TV and so forth. However, my husband, kids & I also lived in the US for 10 years, where the run-up to Christmas is so over the top, with non-stop ads and Christmas music blaring everywhere, that it was actually nice to move to Abu Dhabi where Christmas was a very low key affair mainly enjoyed at home with family and other expat friends. I also don't need or want snow - I've shovelled enough snowy driveways in the US & Switzerland - and so I prefer snow to stay on the mountains and away from where I live.
ReplyDeleteDay 4 - I would love to spend Christmas in Iceland. Seeing the northern lights during Christmas would be great.
ReplyDeletePlaying catchup - Day 2 - Christmas jumpers - YAY ... but the cute ones, not the hideous ones ! lol
ReplyDeleteDay 3 - I love giving all the presents that have had some serious thought put into them - the homemade ones or the hard to find ones. I won't give details in case it spoils the surprise !
ReplyDeleteDay 4 - visiting Santa in Lapland
ReplyDeleteDay 3. My teenager is getting an iPad! Can't wait to watch h him open it!
ReplyDeleteDay 3 - Can't wait to give my Great nephew his Minions toy!
ReplyDeleteDay 4 - I'd love to spend one Christmas Day in Australia, just to see how different it feels eating Christmas Dinner in the sunshine!
ReplyDeleteDay 5 - my favourite seasonal treat are Mince Pies, as they aren't around all year long so seem to taste extra special - especially if someone else has made them ;)
ReplyDeleteDay 5 - I love a bit of Christmas Cake! Fruit cake is my favourite, and it's even better with a bit of marzipan and icing.
ReplyDeleteDay 1 - Best Christmas memory spans across pretty much all of my childhood memories and it is a simple one. Just waiting at the living room window and watching out for my nan and grandad to come down the road. Might not seem like much but it was amazing for me!
ReplyDeleteDay 2 - I love Christmas Jumpers! I have loads, I really need to stop buying them. Cosy ones, boring ones and funny ones, room for them all in my house!
ReplyDeleteDay 3 - I am so excited to give my husband his present for Christmas. It's a fancy camera for cycling and running and has all the accessories to go with it. He's going to tell me off but he's also going to love it. I absolutely can't wait!
ReplyDeleteDay 4 - I would love to spend Christmas in San Francisco but only if all of my family were with me. I think it would be amazing over there and can't think of anything better with my loved ones.
ReplyDeleteDay 5 - My favourite seasonal treat is trifle, my mum's homemade trifle is unbeatable!

ReplyDeleteDay 5: Mince pies
ReplyDeleteDay 6: I like Last Christmas as well.It was a lovely song
ReplyDeleteDay 5: I like the chocolate log filled with marzipan from Lidl :)
ReplyDeleteDay 2:I'm thinking to buy one for me as I never had one before
ReplyDeleteDay 5 - Mince pies and Terry's chocolate orange because I only ever eat them at Christmas ! Homemade chocolate truffles too :)
ReplyDeleteDay 6 - I have a Christmas CD with all the old classics on it and I love all of them - I wish it could be Christmas every day, The Fairytale of New York, Band Aid, Last Christmas, All I Want for Christmas is You .... the cheesier the better ! lol
ReplyDeleteDay 1 - My dad never really liked christmas but always tried to make the effort as he brought me and my sister up alone. We weren't allowed to open our presents until after dinner but i loved peaking into the sitting room to see the bags full of pressies from Santa. One year not only did Santa leave us loads of exciting presents in the sitting room, i found a cadburys buttons moneybox full of buttons. I know it was only small but it was so exciting to think Santa had been leaving a trail of presents through the house.
ReplyDeleteDay 2 - Up until i had kids i wouldn't have been that bothered about christmas jumpers but since our babies were born i'd happily have us dressed up in matching jumpers like Howard and Hilda from 'Ever decreasing circles'!!!
ReplyDeleteDay 3 - My husband loves taking photos and already has two lovely mid-range cameras but i know he's been coveting a fujifilm XT-1 camera for a while. Luckily Jessops do 12 months interest free credit so i'm getting him that. He's so hard to buy for and some years i buy him very little (which he doesn't mind about at all) so i'm really excited to see his reaction this year.
ReplyDeleteDay 4 - I'd love to spend one Christmas in New York. To see the tree at Rockerfellar Centre, to ice skate, so to FAO Schwartz and wrap up warm to walk through central park would be incredible. We got married in NYC so i'd love to bring the babies back with us to see the sights and i know anywhere we'd stay would put on a fabulous spread.
ReplyDeleteDay 5 - Ok, please don't judge me, but i love having a glass of Poinsettia cocktail and quality street on christmas morning with The Muppets Christmas Carol on the TV. It's so ridiculously indulgent but quite a lot of fun!!!
ReplyDeleteDay 6 - I too love a bit of cheese and it's great hearing Last Christmas or Band Aid but when I hear 'O holy night' it makes me want to cry. Can you tell i just love Christmas?!!!
ReplyDeleteDay 6 - for me it has to be Fairytale of New York by The Pogues & Kirsty MaColl
ReplyDeleteDay 6: I love Driving Home for Christmas - it brings a cheesy little tear to my eye when I hear it.
ReplyDeleteDay 6 - Sleigh Ride is my favourite Christmas song :)
ReplyDeleteDay 6 - Last Christmas by Wham!

ReplyDeleteDay 5 - Might be a boring choice but it's got to be mince pies!
ReplyDeleteDay 6 - Santa Baby
ReplyDeleteDay 7 - Boiled egg and soldiers
ReplyDeleteDay 7 - As a child I always had the big tube of Smarties from my stocking for breakfast. I sorted all the colours into rows and ate them one at a time starting with the longest row.
ReplyDeleteDay 1 - Best memory was my son's first school nativity. He was a snowman and refused to wear his carrot nose on his face and insisted on wearing it like a unicorn's horn throughout the show.
ReplyDeleteDay 2 - Yes! My husband has the best Christmas Jumper. So bad, it's great

ReplyDeleteDay 6 - My favourite Christmas song is Fairytale of New York by The Pogues and Kirsty McColl. Love it!

ReplyDeleteDay 6 - I love Silent Night, not keen on the usual Christmas pop songs myself. I do love some Baileys in my cappuccino sometimes so this would be a nice little treat :)
ReplyDeleteDay 7 - probably Eggs Benedict, nice and simple for Christmas morning!
ReplyDeleteDay 7 - I know this is ridiculously self indulgent but some smoked salmon and cream cheese bagels followed by some quality street, all washed down with a big glass of poinsettia cocktail. Yum!

ReplyDelete8) Ooh I live Sea Dog. Hmmm, I'm a sucker for The Snowman.

ReplyDeleteDay 9 - no panto this year, none of us really like them tbh!
ReplyDeleteDay 8 - I love watching The Muppets Christmas Carol every Christmas, preferably on Christmas morning. This will be the first Christmas in 10 years that i haven't worked on Christmas day so i'm even more excited than usual!!
ReplyDeleteDay 9 - Because the babies are so young we are not attempting a panto. No doubt when they're older we'll head to the annual one in Belfast. WE are going to see my little boy sing with his class next week so that'll be better than any slick production.
ReplyDeleteDay 9 - No, no panto for us this year!
ReplyDeleteDay 9 - yes - either Sleeping Beauty in Woking or Peter Pan in Wimbledon
ReplyDeleteDAY 10 We like to watch Columbo :)
ReplyDelete9. Sadly not this year, everyone's too busy!

ReplyDeleteDay 9 - No panto. Would like to go see a ballet if I had the choice, but I can't really afford it right now.
ReplyDeleteDay 10 - I don;t particularly like Doctor Who, but it does sometimes have a decent Christmas special, so I usually give it a go.
ReplyDeleteDay 10 - Doctor Who is my must have Christmas Day viewing (along with the Queen's Speech!) though I must say I haven't really been able to get into this series so I hope it'll be an improvement.
ReplyDeleteDay 10 - Doctor who is our favourite to watch
ReplyDeleteDay 10 - I do like to watch the Eastenders special on Christmas day - which is odd as I don't watch it all year round.
ReplyDeleteDay 10 - Gosh we don't get to watch much these days but a few christmas films would be lovely and i do always enjoy The Big Fat Quiz of the year. Thanks for running this lovely giveaway Galina, it's been fun.xx
ReplyDeleteDay 10 - We won't be watching TV on Christmas Day as we'll be too busy with board games and Singstar etc. We'll probably watch 8 out of 10 Cats Christmas special over the Christmas period.

ReplyDelete9) NO - love chocolate and stardust but hate pantomimes :(
