Win A Personalised Crate Of Lindeman’s Wine & Goodies Worth £100

· by · 146 Comments

You have probably heard me talking about Lindeman’s wine on the blog a few times. We really enjoy it, it’s budget friendly and tastes fabulous.

Each bottle from the Lindeman’s Bin Range has recently been spruced up with the new logo, which is focussed on the brand’s Australian background. The phrase ‘In Life Happiness’, which appears on the bottle in Latin, reflects Dr. Henry Lindeman’s words ‘the one purpose of wine is to bring happiness’.

I know wine makes me happy. I only ever drink a glass or so but a crisp glass of wine with good food. Sunshine right there.

Lindeman’s Bin 95 Sauvignon Blanc is perfect for dinner parties. This variety has a distinctive finish, with fruity tones of green apples, which complement salads and make it an idealchoice for barbecues.

Talking of barbecues..

When the sun is shining we enjoy Lindeman’s Bin 35 Rose. Its a soft, fruity wine which is delightful, particularly when enjoyed lying in the garden on a giant bean bag with a plate of cheese and olives. I mean seriously that is the only way you can drink it 😉

Those are our favourites but there are lots more to choose from and yes you get to choose in this great competition. You will receive all of the following if you are the lucky winner:

Personalised storage crate with your name engraved on the lid
2 bottles of Lindeman’s wine from the Bin Series ( your choice)
A pair of John Lewis wine glasses
Chalk board wine stopper
Disposable camera with a vintage design
Packet of sunflower seeds with Lindeman’s personalisation

Lindemans personalised crate

Good luck.

Bahlsen Pick Up Biscuits Review & Giveaway

· by · 42 Comments

Last week I was lucky enough to receive some pretty lovely parcels in the post. One of which contained these:

20140331-091953.jpg

I opened this parcel after a day in London on trains and tubes. I was worn out and in dire need of chocolate and a cup of tea.

This met all my needs for chocolate and a biscuit. You have a thick hunk of delicious chocolate in the middle sandwiched by two crispy and tasty biscuits. Therefore no chocolate melted over yours (or your toddlers) hands if you can’t eat it all in 15 seconds – which I totally can by the way.

They are wrapped individually so stay fresh if you need to keep one in the changing bag and one or two by the side of your bed – I am breastfeeding after all so snacks close at hand are essential.

I’ve shared some of these with the pickiest biscuit eaters you could find – my Dad who will only eat certain brands and my toddler who thinks nothing of spitting them right out at my feet if they aren’t up to her standards. Everybody gives these a big thumbs up and there is certainly one from me too.

You could win yourself a whole case of these treats by entering my competition – a whole case! That’s 14 packets don’t you know.. Or 70 bars.. Drool.

Hotel Chocolat Egg & Chips:

You’ll just love our take on a British Classic – with a creamy white chocolate and vanilla seed egg served sunny side up with a soft salted caramel yolk and a scattering of mellow milk chocolate, salted caramel-filled chips. Knife & fork not included!

I’ve got a bit of a thing for salted caramel and Hotel Chocolat do it so well. The “chips” were divine. I’m not normally too fussed on white chocolate but this isn’t normal white chocolate. The vanilla seeds take it another level and the yolk…mmmmmmm.

Now that I’ve made you salivate all over your screens how about I give one of you lucky people a box of Egg & Chips just for you..

I’m too nice.
