We’ve got lots of lovely giveaways lined up in the run up to Christmas. It’s always nice to have a little win when you’re planning all your present and food buying to take a little pressure off the finances. This week’s prize, a box of Mini Mince Pie Pralines from James Chocolate (RRP £8), will make a great stocking filler or a treat for you to enjoy while writing your Christmas cards.
It couldn’t be easier to enter. Just leave me a comment telling me your favourite job in the run up to Christmas and record your entry in the rafflecopter widget along with any additional entries you’d like to make. I love finding silly little gifts for the boy’s stockings. The giveaway will run until Monday 10th November 2014. Good Luck!
