Hello dear reader, Those of you who have been with me for a while will know how much I love a good giveaway or competition. It can really boost your week to discover a little surprise win being popped through the letter box, or landing in your email. I want to spread the “comping” love and feel-good factor, so have decided to run a monthly giveaway competition for you dear reader. This month’s prize is some cute kitchenware to help your baking – cookie cutters and measuring cups!
The cookie cutters by Garden Trading are crafted in powder-coated steel and are double-sided; one side is fluted and one side plain. They come as a set of five, ranging from 5cm to 10cm diameter, in their own cute storage tin.
The measuring cups by John Lewis are ceramic and come as a set of four, ranging from ¼ cup size to 1 cup size. They are in lovely pastel shades and are safe for dishwasher, microwave, oven and freezer. Now, how to enter? The widget thing-me-bob below is called a Rafflecopter. It can seem a bit confusing but is really easy when you get the hang of it! I remember when I first started comping that I thought it looked difficult and didn’t enter any comps which had Rafflecopters – more fool me! When I decided I simply must work out how to use them, it took me all of one minute! First of all you’ll need to log in to the Rafflecopter – if you are on Facebook this is automatic, otherwise use your email. The only thing I’ll be using your email address for is to let you know if you are the winner! Then simply click each option and follow the instructions. The + numbers show you how many entries you get to the competition when you select that option. If you are super-keen to try to win, you can come back each day and re-do the last couple of options to boost your chances of winning!
Rafflecopter – this competition has ended
T&Cs: Closing date is end of May – to be precise 11.59pm (BST) 31st May 2014. The Rafflecopter widget will randomly select a winner – the more times you enter, the more chances you have of being selected! I will contact the winner within 48 hours of the closing date. The winner will have 28 days to reply, otherwise a new winner will be selected. This competition is open to UK residents only. I am providing the prizes myself and have no affiliation with either of the two companies who make them.
Good luck!

Love millionaires shortbread as a special treat but also love chewy milk chocolate cookies.

When we lived in the States, I used to go to an Italian shop in the Little Italy area, they sold amazing pine nuts cookies and ice cream.
Never heard of pine nut cookies Galina. Sounds fab! 🙂
