Know what I just realized???? I posted my 300th post! Wow! I am so excited about that. 300 posts and over 167,000 hits, not to mention lots of wonderful new friends, is something to celebrate, don't you think???
Cupcakes and Fairycakes are wonderful little things. A mini cake just for one! To help celebrate I shall be giving away to one lucky ready a copy of this delicious cookbook by the Women's Weekly people! I have one of these tasty books myself and just know you will love it!
To make it extra special, I am also throwing in a little Jo Malone sampler gift bag filled with two lovely little ampules of Jo Malone cologne, the Lime, Basil and Mandarin, and Amber and Lavender. I just love Jo Malone cologne! I know you will too!
To add the icing on the cake, I am also going to throw in a delicious bar of Lindt Chili chocolate, one of my favourites!!! If you like dark chocolate and you like chili you are going to love this. Smooth delicious chocolate with a distinctly fiery afterbite. Not unpleasant at all. It's lovely! I just adore it.
I've always thought that if you want to give someone a nice gift you should give them something you enjoy yourself and these are three of my favourite things!
If you want to be in on all the fun, just leave a comment at the end of this post. For every comment your name will be entered once. If you want a double chance at winning, do a post about it on your own blog and spread the word, then let me know you've done so, and I'll put your name in a second time!
