Win a Pile of Christmas Presents in our Epic Giveaway!

Christmas is coming and it's time to start thinking about shopping, but what if you could win your Christmas presents? No standing in line, no thinking what to buy, definitely no spending any money, just a lot of lovely gifts, delivered to your door, in time to be handed out on the big day. Or kept all for yourself, I won't tell. Enjoy a walk through all the lovely gifts you could win, contributed by some of our favourite companies, then please enter via the Rafflecopter below and don't forget to come back for your daily free entry (no social media required) and one via Twitter. The giveaway will end on Friday 7th December at midnight and I wish you the very best of luck.

First, a selection of books from Hashtag Press, who are currently offering four books from their list for the bargain price of £30. Each book comes beautifully gift wrapped and includes a personalised Christmas card. Orders before 10th December are guaranteed for Christmas delivery and you can order from the Hashtag Press website. There are various genres to choose from, but I have chosen three YA fiction books for you to win. Emily Knight I AM... and Emily Knight I AM... Awakened... follow the story of thirteen year old Emily, who is the daughter of a heroic warrior and needs to learn to control her own powers, even though she hates being gifted with them. The books are really funny, with relatable characters, offering a grittier read than a lot of YA novels. Both books are written by A. Bello. The third book is The Originals, a collection of short stories from around the world from prize-winning young authors, aged between 6 and 21 years. These hugely talented authors entered The little BIG Book Competition run by The Lil’ Author Skool in 2017.

For our next prize, Truprint are offering a £50 voucher for our lucky winner to be used on their website, which is home to an impressive array of customisable Truprint gift items perfect for Christmas. I received a £50 voucher to try out the service and managed to buy a travel mug, coffee mug, canvas and calendar, all personalised with my own photos and still had £1 left over! There's even free delivery on orders over £25 and lots of gift ideas to choose from. There are all kinds of items ranging in price from £2.99. Their range makes the perfect gift for pretty much anyone, but are especially suitable for grand parents or relatives who live far away and like to be reminded of home with lots of photos!

Third on the list is the beautifully presented Grow Happy, Cook Happy, Be Happy, the cookery and lifestyle book by Bryony Hill. This book will inspire you to optimise your outdoor space, experiment with seasonal ingredients and relish cooking simple and delicious meals. Containing practical advice on gardening and cookery, as well as a wealth of easy recipes, there is plenty to entertain and encourage even the most novice gardener or chef. The illustrations are also a delight, featuring stunning photos of flowers, vegetables and local wildlife. At just £20 for all of the above, this book represents excellent value for money and is sure to delight anyone who receives it.

Next is a stunning collection of make up brushes from the luxury, yet affordable Nanshy brand. Nanshy set out with a very simple idea "Help as many people as we can enhance their beauty and appearance for an even better look" They have achieved this by researching and developing the most luxurious, durable cosmetic tools at affordable prices, so more people can have access to the right tools to make themselves look their best. All their products are vegan and cruelty-free, as well as being assembled by hand to an excellent standard and designed to be user-friendly. At Nanshy, you can expect superior customer service, from a brand who really cares. This set contains 12 wonderfully soft brushes, for all your make up needs and retails at £49.95.

Some of the trickier people to buy for can be the older generation, so here I have added a pair of Eyejusters to the prize pile. They adjust to the right strength, providing the perfect pair of reading glasses even if you don't know the prescription. The hidden eyeDials allow you to increase the strength of the glasses anywhere from 0.5 to 4.00, making them the most versatile reading glasses you can buy. You can set different strengths for different eyes, share with your partner, or change the focus for different tasks, all at the touch of a tiny, invisible dial. The styles are all modern and flattering, and their are 13 different colours and styles to choose from, starting at £49.

A must for a lot of people's Christmas lists, you can't go wrong with some high quality alcohol. It's the perfect present for anyone who likes an evening tipple, and I have the perfect gift idea for a connoisseur of fine spirits. The Summerton Club is a craft spirit members club that offers various subscription options to create the perfect gift for someone special. Each subscription box costs £50 delivered and will contain one of a wide selection of different tempting spirits. You can choose how often you want them delivered and for how long. Some of the bottles are not available in the UK and Summerton aim to ensure that you can't buy them elsewhere for less than the cost of membership. There are no hidden costs and you can cancel at any time. Summerton are offering this Mackmyra Gruvguld Swedish Single Malt Whisky as a prize for our winner. This well aged, limited edition spirit is not available in the UK and is a great example of what is available to members.

When children get a little bit older, it can be tricky to find gifts that will keep them amused over the Christmas holiday, that don't seem too young or a bit uninspiring. I discovered these amazing water colour pencils when I was looking for something for my daughter, and Hunkydory Crafts were kind enough to send me some to try and also provide a set for you to win. Prism Watercolour Pencils are a premium product, retailing at £25, and aimed at those who want to take their art a bit more seriously. The fabric rolls contain 48 individual shades, created to blend perfectly with each other. The deep pigment in the pencils allows for maximum versatility, as you can vary the amount of water to create different levels of intensity and easily blend the shades in different amounts. Prism Watercolours are part of a range available on the website, alongside everything else you could possibly need for a wide array of exciting craft projects.

A favourite staple for child's Christmas list is a realistic baby doll. In this age of immersive technology, encouraging imaginative play is more important than ever. The all-new BABY born® Soft Touch Doll is soft and tactile for little hands and has nine lifelike functions and eleven accessories to encourage imaginative play. With even more play value, BABY born® Soft Touch has everything to appeal to little ones. He or she (there are boy or girl options) cries real tears, opens and closes his or her eyes, eats and drinks, has additional arm mobility, is fully bathable, and controlled wets and poops by pushing the easy to press belly button – all without batteries! What more could a potential new mummy or daddy wish for? Baby Born Soft Touch retails at £49.99.

Talking of technology, how about something little techies will love, that also has a lot of educational play value? Our friends at Zulogic have contributed this ZU3D Animation Kit, which contains everything you could possibly need to create your own stop-motion animations. It's aimed at children from 4 years upwards, but could really suit any age and is a great way to get siblings playing together or you could even join in too! Animation is for everyone and there is no limit to the imagination and creativity that this kit can inspire. Compatible with pc, ipad or mac, the kit includes two everlasting software licenses (pc/mac and ipad), animation webcam, green screen, modelling clay, mini-set and handbook. The software included comes complete with a library of sounds, music, artwork and effects, all for just £49.99. There are many different areas of learning that ZU3D subtly encourages; storytelling, coding, art and design, to name but a few and some schools use the same software, so it may help your children become familiar with something they'll use at school. And, let's not forget, it's also really fun! Once you master the basics, the world is your oyster and you can animate anything you like! 

If you are looking for a fun, yet practical gift for a child in your life, you can't go wrong with a new swimming costume, and Simply Swim have a lovely festive range to brighten up winter swimming trips, starting at £25. Swimming is a great winter activity, as it's indoors, doesn't rely on the weather and keeps children active, but that doesn't mean it has to be boring! There are different designs to choose from in the Simply Swim Christmas Range, but my favourite is definitely this fun, festive pattern. The fabric is so soft and really sparkles. 

Our next prize comes from The Parent Game prize cupboard. Some of my favourite beauty products, including Beyonce Heat Rush Edt, Liz Earle Hot Cloth Cleanser and the ultra-luxurious Nude Perfect Cleanse Omega Cleansing Jelly. This bundle has a retail value of around £80. 

Last, but not least, is one last gift, chosen by me, as a thank you for all the support I receive in the form of comments, shares and general encouragement from my readers. Without you, I wouldn't be able to do what I love and I really appreciate everyone who reads, follows and takes the time to make this job worthwhile. This jewellery bundle contains a diamond necklace, which was really hard to photograph and doesn't do it justice and a surprise gift to go with it, because everyone likes a Christmas surprise, with a combined retail value of £150. 

EDIT: New products has been added!! Mia Tui are a company I have purchased from, and subsequently worked with, because I love their bags. Their handbags have to be seen to be believed, they are some of the most carefully thought out designs on the market, at very reasonable prices. My go-to bag for the last two years has been the Matilda-Mae. It's a good size, and has all the trademark pockets that you would expect from these arm candy innovators. Mia Tui specialise in organisation, so all the bags contain inners that are built to organise your belongings. I've recently upgraded to the Jane, which has a two way strap, so that you can wear it over the shoulder, or carry it in your hand.  It has all the inside hacks that we've come to expect, including a small matching clutch bag, an insulated bottle holder (which fits a 330ml bottle of water), an elasticated key clip and phone and pen holders. The best part is, you can win a Mia Tui Jane bag, in Rose Gold, and you too may never lose your keys again! 

Another new addition to our epic giveaway is an amazing flip top coffee flask from our lovely friends at Hydroflask. The unique combination of temperature, taste, and transport allows Hydro Flask to deliver hours of refreshment anytime, anywhere. The TempShield™ double wall vacuum insulation eliminates condensation and keeps your beverage cold for 24 hours or hot for 6 hours. The durable 18/8 pro-grade stainless steel construction won’t retain or transfer flavour, so you'll still be tasting your drink and not the container for hours afterwards. Hydro Flask are so convinced that their product is the best available that they guarantee every bottle with a limited lifetime warranty against manufacturer defects. You can win a 16oz coffee flask with flip top lid in lemon, as part of this massive prize haul. 

That is everything I have for you so far this year. Remember to pop back for your daily entries, including one free entry, because if any more lovely companies would like to get involved, I may have the opportunity to add more surprises to the prize stash. The combined prize value for all the goodies included currently stands at £635. There are 12 possible entries, and you are not obliged to do them all, I have had winners who have won my giveaways just from doing the free entry. However, I really appreciate your support and supporting our sponsors helps me run more giveaways too. I wish you all the very best of luck and I am so looking forward to making one lucky individual's Christmas extra special this year.
