It’s almost Christmas and I thought it’s a nice time to resurrect my favourite blog tradition – giving the gift of Christmas. This is where I give the gifts but you don’t get to want them for yourself. Oh no, you have to pick someone you want me to send the gift to!
Let’s just call me Santa PB yes? 😀
So here’s how you participate in this final giveaway on MWS for this year. It’s also a good time to tell you that some things have happened recently that have me rethink this whole giveaway thing so things are a-changing around here in the coming year(s). Let’s just say that a couple of bad apples do spoil the barrel and whilst I realise it shouldn’t bother me, it does. I’m human and I get mad about things like seeing people sell items they won in my giveaways as brand new items. Bugs the hell out of me because I know someone else would have appreciated it more. So. I digress. Let’s use the apples to make cider or something eh? 😛
But that’s later. This is now. Here’s how you gift a gift of Christmas to someone special.
This Giveaway is essentially a chance for you to pick someone to whom you’d like a surprise gift to be sent. I’ll send your recipient a little beauty gift pack comprising a selection of the items I’ve picked below, with a note so they know who sent it to them, and who’s thinking of them.
I’m picking 2 lucky recipients this time so here’s how you participate.
For a chance to send a gift of Christmas to someone special, here’s what you have to do:-
- COMPULSORY: Leave a comment below telling me who you want to send a Gift of Christmas to and why you’re thinking of them.
- OPTIONAL: Share this post with your friends via your chosen social media channels (I’m on Instagram, Facebook & Twitter, if you want to tag me) and who knows, perhaps you might even be on the receiving end of this gift pack. After all, what goes around comes around 🙂
Some things to take note of:
- Deadline for entries is 12pm 19 December 2013 (GMT+8) All late entries are automatically disqualified.
- The gift will be sent worldwide and anyone may participate.
- 2 gift packs will be sent to 2 lucky recipients picked from the comments received here.
- Selection of gifts are at my sole discretion and I may substitute items as deemed necessary.
- Liquid items will not be posted out of Malaysia.
- If you’re on Santa’s “Nice” list you may receive a surprise in the mail.
- For general terms and conditions please read this.
Good luck and be generous.
xoxo
Santa PB
WINNERS: Anusha & Ping. Winners will be contacted by email.
I would want this package to be sent to my mother. These past few months, I have been so focused on myself and my studies I did not realize nor fully appreciate how much she does for me. How patient she is with me. My mother is in her 60s now, she’s still working alongside my father to help support the family. Both of them put food on the table for me, and when my mother knows I am studying for a test, she will do the dishes, clean the house (whatever chores I usually have to do) I am so appreciative of my mother and father, and everything they do for me. My mom is not one to spoil herself, as she is one to give to others. She will spend money on clothes for her nephew, but nothing for herself. This year, I want her to be spoiled this year. She 110% deserves it.
Ah i am sorry for the bad experience you had paris. Disappointing indeed.I cant say about everyone but most of us truly respect you and your generous heart.Goodies or no goodies your blog is special to us 🙂
I would love to send it to my gorgeous Grandma.I have such fond memories of times spent with my Grandma, and in particular Christmas time. Looking back on Christmas as a child, I can now see that my Grandma made sure it was always extra special! , all of her delicious baked goods, specially. She really has put in a lot of effort to make my Christmases special over the years, and I think it is definitely time that I put in the effort to make sure hers is just as special!And what could be a more special Christmas gift for grandma than this Chock full of products to keep the skin hydrated and to keep the dreaded ageing process at bay! The real cherry on top is the inclusion of the love note.
Hi Santarina PB, I would love to send these lovely gifts to my sister who is always been so lovely supporting and big hearted !:) although I have already given her a small present , another surprise is always welcome !
I want to send the gift to my girlfriend because I know she reads your blog everyday and as a guy I am clueless on skincare/cosmetics products, so I wouldn’t know what to personally handpick for her but I know that she has a wish to own and try on luxurious products that are otherwise too expensive for her to buy. I think this gift would be perfect for her to get started with!
First off – I totally understand why that made you upset. I too have once hosted a give away and then the lucky winner gave ist all away (it was a set of 4 nail polishes). I mean… why even participate if you don´t like that whole package?
That said – I´d love my mom to get this set. She has not used make-up for a loooong time (meaning the 26 years from my birth to now) and just recently really got into it through me. I really want her to have some nice classy basics that she can pull off easily. I think those items on the picture would be perfect.
have a nice day~
Merry Christmas, Santa Paris B! I would love to give these to my mom. She’s not the type to buy expensive things for herself, sometimes she even says no when I offer to buy stuff for her, so this will be wonderful 🙂
I wish to send the gift to my sister in law (one and only). I really admire her as her duties as a wife, mother and babysitter is never ending. Her birthday falls on 31 December and she would be thrilled.
Dear Santa PB,
I would love to give this to my future sister in law, coz she must be pretty crazy to agree to marry my brother. Haha! On a serious note, she’s an awesomely nice person and deserve this nice gift for christmas! 😉
My mum, because she truly deserves it for putting up with me lol.
Hi Santa PB! I would like to send a gift of Christmas to my mom because she has been there for me and my son always! I am so lucky to have a mom like her….Advance Merry Christmas PB! 🙂
I’d like to gift this to my mum. She’s been tirelessly baking jam tarts, coconut tarts, almond croissants, mooncakes from scratch, minced pies and fruit cakes for all the relatives who came back to celebrate my grandmother’s 100th birthday! She also baked the birthday cake!! So, because she’s been giving and giving to everyone else, I’d like her to receive something nice this season too.
Hi I want to give the gift to my sister and mother. It will be a great gift for them 🙂
I really want to win this set for my mum. My mum has never really spent much money on makeup and skincare as she considers it unnecessary. I’d really like to pamper my mum for once and as a college student, I don’t have much money to spend. I’m sure my mum would appreciate these items as a gift 😀
Uhh.. Giveaways are meant to be something nice and happy. Really hate those “pro” giveaways candidates. Now, it just turned worse, selling the giveaways? Man, that is just so sick and unethical! Horrible human being that is.
I would love to send this gift to my sister who’s just delivered a beautiful baby girl. This would be the perfect pampering treat for the new mommy 🙂 There’s just a year’s difference in our ages, and we fight like cats and dogs sometimes. But underneath it all, we love each other and are really close. If anyone attempted to attack or be nasty to one of us, the other would instantly spring to her defence. I can’t visit my sister often because she’s in a different city altogether. However, this gift would be the perfect way to show her that I’m thinking of her.
Dear Santa PB!
I want to send this gift to my friend Jen because she loves beauty products & she taught me about beauty products & sadly, she’s currently all alone this christmas & I think she could use this little cheer to lift her spirit.
Please santa PB. I promise I’ll be a good girl just for her. 🙂
Thank you! Love you.
Hi Paris B,
I would like to give this present to my mom. I think she is in need to pamper herself with the products. I want her to look in her best in this Christmas party.
Mum is the one and only one that come in my mind right now so definitely I would send this gift pack to her as she seldom put much efforts in skin care and definitely won’t approve us to splurge on high end skin cares/make up products. To get her try on one of these high end products, the best way is wining one for her 🙂 (main point >> free!)
People are ridiculous! They always ruin everything!
As much as I want everything in the picture for myself, I know of only one person who would appreciate it all as much as I do: My cousin! She is the true Enabler of my shopping habit, and she’d adore a kit of makeup turning up unexpected at her doorstep!
There are always people out there trying to make a quick buck. Some of them even stalk celebs, get them to sign their memorabilia and then sell those on ebay. And they are d*mned pushy ok! Happen to me when I wanted to get stuff signed by a couple of footie players.
It would be great if a surprise package appeared on my bestie’s doorstep. She’s had a challenging and stressful time lately with work, moving home and exams. Unfortunately, I live about 400kms way from her so it was frustrating that I was unable to be there to support her. Thank god for skype so we can still chat though. It would be a lovely way to let her know that she is in my thoughts even though I can be there to physically / literally lend a helping hand.
