Christmas is a time not only for receiving although we all know how nice it is to receive š It is also the time for giving. And Iām holding over my last installment of Best of 2009 series till tomorrow for this.
I know many are looking forward to a year end giveaway but Iām not running a giveaway for various personal reasons. So, instead to end 2009 with a bang, Iāll let YOU play Santa!
Iāll give 1 reader the chance to send someone something nice this year end through me! Youāll tell me who you want the hamper above to go to and Iāll send it on your behalf. How about that? š
Hereās how we are going to do this, but recipients should have a mailing address in Malaysia due to logistics.
How to enter
You have to leave a comment below telling me:-
- Who do you want me to send the gift hamper to.
- Why did you pick this person.
You may enter from anywhere in the world, but your recipient must have a mailing address in Malaysia as parcels tend to go walkabout in the year end mail crush and I donāt want the additional hassle. Besides, this baby is heavy! š
The winner will be picked by a neutral third party and I will contact you for mailing details after everything is over.
Are you curious what your giftee will receive? Well, the mystery will only be solved at the winner announcement but take your best guess from what you can see in the picture above ā thereās quite a mix of stuff in there š
Remember ā what goes around comes around so spread the word to your friends (Twitter and Facebook is always a good place to start!) and perhaps you might just find yourself at the receiving end! š
Deadline is 12 noon 11 December 2009 (GMT +8) and remember, this is the last of the giveaways happening on MWS for 2009 so donāt miss out!
Have fun playing Santa!

Please read the terms and conditions.
For my mom. Cos sheās living alone in Miri, and my sisters and I canāt go back and live with her due to job finding difficulties. She would love receiving a surprise parcel in the mail to brighten her days. =)
I would live it if my sis could get a little surprise in the mail.
Sheās been working so hard lately, and staying back really late at work that Iāve seen her less than twice this week, and thatās with me at home everyday! Even though her bonus was 100% her sweat and tears, she gave me a ābonusā as well (she gives me my allowance).
At times when sheās really broke (like when her car needs an overhaul) she wouldnāt let me help at all, and though I try my best to make her time at home more comfy, I canāt afford to really pamper her and with most of my time spent commuting and studying/doing assignments, I hardly have the time to DIY stuff for her as I used to.
Thanks for having this very special giveaway contest~
1. My BFF, Joan.
2. She is actually the only girl friend I have in class! Iām in engineering course so most of the classmates are boys..I would definitely love to give her some beauty products, so we can both stay pretty all the time! Lol
My special special friend Jia Ying who just moved from KL to Penang, gave birth and stop working to become a full time mom. Words cannot describe how much I owe her and how much she meant to me as a friend.
My sister in Māsia. We spend most of our time living apart (Iām in Australia) yet she has been supporting me throughout these yrs. I always feel sheās not far away. Sheās the greatest!
my dearest mother who works very hard but never has the time to pamper herself. š
For my mom because she has given so much to me and always tries to give me the things that I want. She has been working so hard day and night looking after me and my siblings and now that we are not staying at home anymore (because of work and studies), it would be nice to give her something this christmas since itās also her most favorite holiday of the year =)
I would like to give them to my Māsian friend! She is a school teacher and hardly doll up. I would like her to have these so that she can doll her pretty self up and find herself a boyfriend. The boys should know what they have been missing!!!
1. Who do you want me to send the gift hamper to.
A colleague who is my friend & sister & boyfriend(thou Iām not les)
2. Why did you pick this person
Simply because my life is full of rainbow colours ever since I know her ! She is simply a great friend , cheer me up and make me sad at same time. I want to give this gift hamper to her(if possible) to record my gratitude for the past 1 year I know her. Life has never been better, time is never a measurement between our friendship š My bf is so jealous & claimed that she is my boyfriend too ! Would love to have a surprise reward for herself this coming Christmas š
To my sister in law who is a widow. Her hubby passed away when she was 40. She brought up her only son and spent all her savings on his education. Never spend a penny on taking care of herself, never bought a liptstick , face powder or moisturizer in her life. It would be a great christmas for her if she has a surprise gift of something nice and she needs a bit of pampering and cheer in this festive season.
I would like to send this to my younger sis. this is because since young we din get along that well, we fight,bite each other, pull each other hair, there is even once when i was taking her on a ride on the bycicle, her foot got squeeze into the tyres n she needed stitchesā¦ but since i came to college far from home, ironically me n her got along better, she always tries to be something opposite than me so that the eldest wonāt compare, but lately whatever decision she makes she will ask me for opinions, it really makes me feel like iām her elder sis more nowā¦ so i hope this gift will let her know how great she is being an truly original individual herselfā¦
I would love you to help me send it to Elfie, my daughter. She is all alone as I am living here in Europe. She is very sad and so am I. We have not seen each other for sometimes.
Thank you very much. It will cheer her up during this festive season.
I would like for the hamper to be sent to my mom because she deserves a pampering this holiday! I really want to surprise her this year because she has been so supportive of me. It will be a great surprise for her to receive this hamper through the mail. š
I love playing Santa(rina)!!
Ok..here goes:
1. To my sister
2. Well, because Iāve always been mean to her (sibling jealousy!) and most importantly, she sustained a hairline fracture at the base of the skull because of me. And it is something I believe that turned my life around to start appreciating my sister more.
I would love the surprise gift to go to my dearest mum. Simply because she needs some pampering. I canāt remember the last time she actually bought a makeup item or counter skincare for herself. For all that she had done for me and my brother and is STILL doing, she deserves this. Plus, I have been away from home for more than 10 years, since I started studying in University and then moved on to working life. Though I make it a point to go home as often as possible, I still miss out on mum-daughter-beauty-shopping-bonding time. This pressie will of course not be able to make up for all time lost, but will definitely bring her a warm feeling that some hundreds of kilometers away, her little girl (thatās me by the way :p) always have mummy dearest close to her heart!
Definitely Jacqueline, a fellow blogger would be my chosen one! She gave me lots of MAC, RMK and Maquillage stuffs, and I canāt find any really good things that Iād gladly give her in return. You know, something Iām sure she would like. I lack imagination @_@ What should I do? Itās almost Xmas and her birthday is here too! I need some awesome present! X_X
But these above look nice! mmm Whoever gets it will be super happy! ^.^
To my sis!
Itās a gift of apologies. We had arguement and cold war had started. I hope she can received it at her doorstep when she is back from her business trip.
My mother. In one word, everything š She was the one who taught me about make-up and how important appearance is for a young lady. She was the one who raised me to be a wonderful young lady that I am today. She was the one gave me the advises, encouragement and support that I need. She is also the backbone of my family, the peacemaker. Itās how she lives life to the fullest every day, being my role model, a strong and independent woman š
I would like this gift to go to my mother. I picked her because she has had a very, very difficult year as she has āAuto-Immune Diseaseā and had a bad relapse several months ago. She was prescribed a high dose of steroids to keep her condition under control, however, this caused her weight to baloon. She was so depressed because her face puffed up and she became so shy to even go out as she did not want people to see her round face. Despite my mumās age (in her early 60ās), she always looks young because she really takes care of herselfā¦.it is from her that I got my passion for make-up and I really look up to her. I think she is deserving of a special surprise!
For my mom in Ipoh, she is the kindest person and sometimes she can sense when iām in trouble or when iām down.
Now iām away (because of work in KL and married already) my time with her is getting lesser and lesser from before but she is still the first person i called and turn too whenever i want to let her know about mt daily life etc (and she never bored about me telling her the same story :))
She sacrifices a lot and it would be nice to suprise her with this unexpected gift
