Lifestyle, food and drink, and our family life and travel adventures.
It is November which means that we are allowed to talk about Christmas now (but not put your tree up yet, okay?!). I’ve been taking photos of products for my gift guides so I’ve been singing Christmas songs all month, plus my daughter won’t stop asking Alexa to play Last Christmas, so we’re definitely getting into the spirit a little earlier this year.
I’ve given away Yankee Candle Gift Sets a couple of times on here before, and I’d really thought I had for the last two years, but apparently it was 2015 and 2016! I really can’t believe my last one was that long ago, so it’s definitely time for another one!
I thought it would make a nice Christmas present for one of my lovely readers so I’m starting it now so that you can enjoy it throughout December. It’s a little thank you to all the people who support me and this blog – thank you so much!
This years set is the lovely Christmas Collection Yankee Candle gift set from Boots worth £52, that includes:
This gift set contains 7 festive fragrances to help bring the Christmas spirit into your home.
Some of these smell so good, so I can’t be held responsible if there is the odd gap in the box when the winner receives it!*
All you have to do to enter is complete the Rafflecopter widget below! Good luck!
You can see the set I’m giving away here: Yankee Candle Christmas Collection Gift Set (Affiliate link).
I bought the set myself to give away to one of my readers. *Obviously I will not be stealing any of the products from the gift set really.
