Win All Your Christmas Presents With My Christmas 2020 Gift Guide - Ends 29/11

Sunday, 1 November 2020

This year has been awful! Possibly the worst year that I can ever remember due to the global pandemic and I know many of you feel the same. So many people have had this awful illness.

In the UK, we have had lots of restrictions placed upon us, with people losing jobs and work drying up for many. We've personally struggled to get work too, my husband who runs a professional travel blog and YouTube channel has obviously not had much work in the last six months, with a big campaign put on hold, and my son who graduated a couple of years ago only recently found work in a supermarket after a three-stage application process. I know many of my readers have been finding it hard too.

However, in the middle of all the doom and gloom, I have something lovely to bring my readers today. The chance to win all your Christmas presents in my big Christmas gift guide and competition and also support businesses some of whom may be struggling as well. These companies below have been hand-picked and offer some lovely gifts. So let's have a look at these great items and see what you can win.

For the fashion lover

Infinity Watch - Nordgreen £159

The first gift in my Christmas gift guide is this pretty Infinity watch by Scandanavian eco-friendly brand Nordgreen. What I love about this specific model is the simplicity of the design - the face is white with rose gold-tone accents, the bezel is the same rich colour and the strap is a rose gold-tone mesh. The straps are also interchangeable so if you prefer a leather strap, then you can change it very easily. A very stylish watch with great eco-credentials.

Nordgreen is a Danish brand that has a timeless design appeal. Designed by Jakob Wagner a famous Danish designer, these beautiful watches are ethically made in Danish-owned factories. The packaging is also eco-friendly and made of upcycled plastics, and this is where Nordgreen excels - in their eco-friendly and sustainable approach.
