Time To Get Christmassy – Thorntons Chocolate Giveaway

by

There aren’t any Christmas decorations up yet at Chez Wright. The tree won’t be arriving until this weekend.
We’re a little later this year with the festivities.

That’s not to say I’m not organised.

It’s beginning to look a little like Christmas. I have a Christmas CD on (to get me in the mood for today’s post), the gifts are wrapped and believe it or not I’m slow-cooking a Christmas turkey tomorrow – but more on that in an upcoming post.

It’s time to get Christmassy – kicking off this years festivities I have a fabulous giveaway.

The kind people at Thorntons have a superb hamper for one of my dear readers.

Thorntons Hamper

I Love Christmas Chocolate Hamper rrp £40

The chocolates delivered available here at Thorntons. 

As you know, I never run any giveaway that I myself would not enter. I only feature retailers, brands and manufacturers who I buy from and recommend.

I love Thorntons chocolate! Not that I’m sampling any…. see disclaimer below.

And if you are feeling lucky this week, why not take your chances on these great competitions Thornton’s are also offering:

As we’re getting into the festive spirit – to enter just drop a comment in below telling me what your favourite Christmas tune is and if you’re feeling chatty – why you love it so much! Mine’s ‘Last Christmas’ by Wham by the way…

The winner will be selected by random generator at 12pm on Thursday 5 December and announced in Friday’s No Waste Tastes Great post. Only one entry per reader please. All entries must be made in the comments section here. Comments made on Facebook and Twitter will not be included. Please note the hamper must be dispatched to a UK address so international readers feel free to enter and treat a friend or relative in the UK.

**Disclaimer – I am in no way reimbursed for offering this giveaway apart from the sheer joy it brings to my heart to give something back to you Guys! (boy am I getting carried away with festive cheer!).

Good Luck y’all!

    Hi

    Bing Crosby White Christmas. It reminds me of my grandparents who are sadly not here any more. It makes me feel very nostalgic remembering my Granma singing her head off after a few Baileys!!

    Mine is O Holy Night as well. I tend to prefer the traditional rather than the pop songs, but Blue Christmas by Elvis is good too!

      Couldn’t really find a good clip to share, so I’ll share a childhood memory instead. Me aged 5 with coconut shells clip-clopping them together at school whilst the class sang this song!
      Entry number 9…

    I am finding it impossible to choose one favorite Christmas song! I love so many, from the old traditional tunes to more recent pop songs. “Driving Home for Christmas” by Chris Rhea makes me smile, and the O Holy Night makes my heart soar. I’m not in the UK, but have very dear friends there who would love some Thornton’s chocolates. Thank you for all your enjoyable posts throughout the year, Jo 🙂

    “Does your granny always tell you that the old ones are the best…” My favourite Christmas song is Merry Christmas Everybody by Slade. It always brings a smile and its a great sing-a-long song.
