Look in my Letterbox #68

I have been entering so many more giveaways than usual as Christmas is coming and of course I want to win presents (mostly for the kids!). I tend to have a set amount to spend on each child then anything I win is given as extra. Due to this I've had tons of prizes arrive this week. The postman even said to me, "Is there ever a day where the postman isn't at your house?" I replied with, "No, never" and when he said I must always be buying online I had to admit my comping and he asked for tips - ha!

Anyway, here's what I received in the post this week! 

Wins:
Bows
 Regular readers will know how much E (well, I!) love bows! I won these from It's a Bow Thing on Facebook and they will be perfect for E's pigtails. Apologies for the rubbish lighting, the bottom set are pale pink.

Suicide Squad merchandise
 I won this giveaway with Empire Cinemas on Facebook. The prize was stated as a t-shirt and fake tattoos and I was honestly expecting a men's one that I would give to Chris but I was absolutel thrilled that they had sent a Harley Quinn one and in my size too! One of my favourite prizes recently!

Babymel Lucky Dip
Babymel hosted a lucky dip giveaway on their Facebook page recently where 50 people would win a surprise. I was one of the 50 so I couldn't wait to see what I'd get. They sent a gorgeous little snack bag and Sophie the Giraffe keyring. The bag will be really handy and Sophie is so cute! 

Bracelet
 I won this gorgeous bracelet from Jon Richard on Facebook. I actually already own my wedding dress (yes, I won it. Well, the vouchers to buy it!) but I've never shared it on the blog, obviously, so I think I will be saving this to go with it. They always run giveaways on Facebook and Twitter so it's worth keeping an eye on their accounts.

Bow
 I won this gorgeous big bow from Marylin's Creations Gift Shop on Facebook in a flash giveaway. It is so sparkly and E loves it!

Miffy bundle
 I won the breakfast set in Miffy's Twitter party and they sent all the extras too! I'll probably use the bunting for E's birthday in two weeks' time. She loves Miffy.

Elsa print
I won a print of my choice from Looby Doo Letters (on Facebook and Instagram) and of course I had to choose Elsa as E loves her. She even had to wear her dress for the photo!
 
XXX Mints
 XXX Mints were giving away tons of 5 packs of their mints on Facebook throughout the Olympics. All you had to do was comment on their posts with your support for Team GB. I won the first day I entered! Apologies for my face in this pic - they wanted selfies with your prize!

Glitter glue
I won these glitter glues from Trimcraft on Instagram. They will come in so handy, especially when making hair accessory holders for E!

Scooter
This was a surprise win that just turned up in the post! I sussed out that it was a competition in Thomas & Friends magazine. I had filled out a postcard and sent it off last month (in C's name) and he won! 
 
Pregnancy cards
 I won these for a friend on Twitter from The Bump Company. They are almost making me want to be pregnant again!
 
Reviews:
Ravensburger Puzzles
 It's always been really important to me to introduce puzzles to the kids at a young age as I loved doing them when I was younger - and still do! E will love these. 

Peppa Pig Campervan
I am so excited to be able to try this. The kids both love Peppa and it teaches phonics - a win for all of us!
 
Other: 
Irish Legends book
 Chris actually purchased this but I thought I'd still include it. I think he's a little sick of reading generic kids stories and wanted to introduce them to C. I remember learning all about them myself so it will be nice to teach them to him.

Did you receive anything nice this week?
