Big January Giveaway!

Happy New Year one and all! I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and New Year and are ready to tackle 2017.

I want this year to be an amazing one for all of us so, to kick things off with a bang, I'm hosting a Big January Giveaway on my Youtube channel! I thought it would be a great way to lift those January blues and to say thank you to everyone who has taken the time to subscribe to my channel.

My Back to School Giveaway!

I know school just finished and we're all busy enjoying what I guess is technically summer (constant rain and fog aside), but get your brain back into school-mode for a few seconds because I'm running a Back to School Giveaway on my Youtube channel.

I'm giving away everything you'll need to go back to school in style including pens, pencils,
notebooks...excessive organisational goodies. And even if you're not heading back to school in September you can still enter because, let's face it, we all love cute stationery!

You can enter here:

Now, get out there and enjoy summer and good luck in the giveaway!

Boring information:
1. In order to enter the giveaway you must be subscribed to my Youtube channel. Extra entries can be gained by following me on social media etc, but these methods of entry are optional.
2. The giveaway is open until 12am 1st September 2016. The winner will be announced in a video that I'll be uploading to my channel on 2nd September 2016. The winner will be contacted directly via email and will have 3 days to respond before I offer up the prize to another winner.
3. Entrants under 16 years old must seek permission from a parent/guardian because I will be contacting the winner directly.
4. This is an international giveaway. The prizes will be sent via Royal Mail delivery, but it's worth noting that some countries have customs taxes and the cost of this will not be covered. I can't be held responsible for the condition of the prizes once they leave my possession (I will wrap them up nice and tight to protect them against heavy-handed postmen though!)
5. Extra entries can be gained by following me on social media or tweeting about the giveaway, but I reserve the right to disqualify people for entering on multiple different email addresses or not playing fair. I know this doesn't apply to the vast majority of you, but it has been an issue in the past and I want everyone to have a fair shot of winning!

100 Subscriber Beauty Goodies Giveaway!

It has been a very exciting week for me. First I found out that Nestle have released a Milky Bar with cookie pieces in it and then, when I thought nothing could possibly top that, I reached 100 subscribers on my Youtube channel.

To celebrate, I'm holding a giveaway for all of my lovely subscribers, which will run from 20.03.15 - 20.04.15 (plenty of time for you to get your entries in) and all of the terms on conditions are in the Rafflecopter widget below.

Best of luck everyone!

And, for those of you who have no idea what's going on and have just stumbled onto this blog post by accident somehow, this video will explain what the giveaway is all about and what kinds of goodies are up for grabs.

Entrants under 18 must get adult supervision before entering

Giveaway/sweepstake will run 20.03.15 - 20.04.15 

Winner will be announced on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram on 20.04.15 as well as receiving a private message 

This is an international giveaway/sweepstake

I will be paying postage, but entrants must check customs regulations/charges in their own country as any additional customs charges will not be covered by postage. Similarly, I am not responsible for the loss/damage of prizes once they have been shipped

Youtube does not sponsor this sweepstake and is not liable 

I retain the right to disqualify entries that do not meet entry criteria or entrants who display 'unsportsman-like' behaviour (as determined by myself)

Twenty Oddball Birthday Bonanza Giveaway!

On the 30th July twenty oddball turns one year old. So, at the end of this month I will have officially been entertaining people with my ramblings and tales of shame and poor judgement for an entire 365 days!

Obviously, we must celebrate this momentous occasion. In a perfect world I would teleport you all here so we could party and eat cake together, but, even if there was such a thing as a teleportation machine, I have enough trouble trying to plug the Playstation in so odds are, I'd never get it to work. It's probably for the best anyway. I wouldn't want to have to spend the whole of the next day scraping birthday cake out of the carpet. 

So, I'm opting for the next best thing and hosting a giveaway! 

Choosing a prize was an ordeal. For one, the very day I chose to pop into town to pick something up, there were a whole host of events taking place in the city centre. There was a craft fair, a vintage car show, men dancing with fire, an orchestra, a totally random polar bear statue that seemed to serve no purpose, and crowds of people who seemed to have nothing better to do than stand wherever I wanted to walk. Plus, from nowhere the sun came out and I was forced to dodge the crowds as I melted in my jeans. 

The second issue was trying to decide what to actually give away. My readers are all ages, male and female, and from all sorts of countries (actually, I've really had to brush on my Geography since I started this blog). So it wasn't enough to ask myself what I'd like to win in a giveaway because, odds are, pink, sparkly stilettos aren't everyone's cup of tea. 

Thankfully, what is universal is chocolate. And I have an abundance of it on offer! It's all Thornton's (I'm not sure if people outside of the UK will have heard of it, but trust me when I say, it's delicious). I bought a box of Classics, a box of Gooey Caramel Irresistibles and a really cute and yummy-looking chocolate monkey. 

I also picked up a Knock Knock notebook, which I am in love with and having inner turmoil about giving away. I may have to go and buy another one for myself. The quotes inside are hilarious. 

And you can get all of these goodies (along with a good dose of my genuine love) by entering the Twenty Oddball Birthday Bonanza Giveaway (rolls off the tongue, doesn't it?) I'm hosting it on some techy-type internet thingy called Rafflecopter, but even I can work it so trust me when I say it's simple. 

You can enter on twitter, facebook, or right here on the blog and each way you connect gets you another entry. The closing date is July 31st and I'll post the winner on my facebook page, twitter account, instagram, and right here on the blog as well as sending a message to the winner so there's no chance of any funny business. Plus, you can enter from anywhere in the world!

So get to it and good luck!

The reason I pinched these pictures from the internet rather than taking my own is because I am currently on my deathbed (slight exaggeration) and I'm too ill to leave my bed. Or sit up. Or open my eyes for too long. Luckily, I wrote the rest of the post yesterday because even typing this is just too much right now.

Boring Terms and Conditions

This is my first giveaway and I just want it to be a fun way to celebrate and say thanks to my readers with no drama or unexpected disasters. So let's cover the bases.

This giveaway is running worldwide, but remember that there may be customs charges in your country for accepting a package from abroad. Much as I wish I could be, I'm not in charge of the worldwide postal system so there's nothing I can do to help you with that.

I will pack the prizes with love (and bubblewrap), but there's no guarantee that some moody guy in the Post Office won't man-handle the package. No one wants the chocolate monkey to arrive with no head, but, again, it's beyond my control once the package is out of my hands.

Update!

And the winner is Sarah Olson! Thanks to everyone who entered. I'll be posting more giveaways soon so fingers crossed for next time.
