WIN A Large Cookies & Caramel Chocolate Wreath from Hotel Chocolat Worth £21 !

I don't often hold competitions on The World of Kitsch, but when the delicious people at Hotel Chocolat offered a prize for me to give away to my readers, I couldn't resist picking this HUGE chocolate wreath. I have one, worth £21, to giveaway to one of my readers.

I'm using Rafflecopter, which is the standard bloggers' giveaway tool. It's fair and randomly picks a winner for me. Hotel Chocolat will then send you the wreath directly, should you win. 

Later in the week I will be reviewing their Christmas range they sent me to try. Oh my goodness, they are something else. The plastic bucket of Quality Street seems so inferior after you've had your taste buds introduced to Hotel Chocolat goodies.

Oh my. I wish I could enter my own giveaway

So You've Never Been to Lidl? 25 Things You Might Not Know You Can Get There. PLUS: WIN £20 to Spend In-store!

Lidl isn't just a grocery shop that sells discount, European food. It's also the equivalent of a kid in a toy shop for me. Why? Because I love trying food products I haven't tried before, and besides selling brands you do know at low prices, Lidl also imports European ingredient and dishes you don't get in the big, main supermarkets.

Pushing your trolley down the aisle you'll discover those biscuits you remember buying all the time that fortnight in France. Or the pâté you remember your hotel having in the breakfast buffet when you holidayed in Spain. That's what I like about Lidl, you can relive the tastes of your holidays, as well as stock up on well-known brands at a discount. 

If you haven't visited Lidl before because of its bargain-chain status, think again. Their luxury range will go head to head with M&S any day. 

Lidl gave me some vouchers to play around with and I spent £54.31 on this tasty, little haul.

WIN A Huge Gift Box of Refreshers Sweets from The World of Kitsch

How do you fancy winning a huge hamper of Refreshers Bars? The chewiest, zingiest, lemonade flavour bar from Swizzels Matlow is still going strong in 2013, but I remember them being a favourite when I was growing up.

The Lovehearts Store has lots of retro sweet action for us nostalgic grown ups. You can also order personalised mini-rolls of Lovehearts for weddings or corporate events.

Swizzels Matlow sent me my own Refreshers Gift Box. My son was just excited by that many sweets, but I was keen to try the new Refreshers products. The Refreshers Rope and Refreshers Squashies in the Ultimate Refreshment Box have the same sharp, tang as the original chews.​

So, I have another Ultimate Refreshment Box to giveaway to my readers, and to win you just have to email me the answer to the question :​

Which band currently have their own range of Loveheart Sweets? The answer can be found on the Swizzels homepage.​

As always, email addresses will only be used for contacting the winner, and won't be passed on to a third party. Competition is open until 11pm on 29th of April. Open to UK residents.​

Swizzels Matlow also have a monthly competition running to ​win an even bigger hamper of retro sweets including Double Dips, Rainbow Drops and Drumstick Lollies.

To try your luck to win their competition just follow this link. Good luck with both comps!​
