Sharing the Love – Giveaway

· ·

Here we are in February … and you know what that means: Valentine’s Day.

Generally, Valentine’s Day is only of interest to people in a relationship (and usually a fairly new one at that – after 25 years of marriage, the hubster and I may exchange a card or a box of chocolates, but that’s about the extent of it).

sharing the love - Valentine's Giveaway at Middle Aged Mama

But this Valentine’s Day, I want to share the love, and I don’t care if you’re married, single, divorced or whatever … I want to spoil YOU, my valued readers!

So I’ve teamed up with some wonderful sponsors to share the love with you in a special Valentine’s Day competition – with nine prizes up for grabs!

A Gift of Jewellery

Hearts are synonymous with Valentine’s Day … and here’s a heart you’ll love to wear every day.

Silver Hearts Lace from ohmygiddyaunt
Heart Shaped Harmony Ball from Oh My Giddy Aunt

This gorgeous sterling silver heart pendant from Oh My Giddy Aunt has a secret tucked securely inside. Give the pendant a little shake to hear the beautiful chimes of the traditional Balinese Harmony Ball. The Harmony Ball comes complete with an adjustable black cord but can also be worn on long or short chains.

Oh My Giddy Aunt has been creating keepsakes and beautiful jewellery to tell your stories since 2003 and is proud to be the preferred online stockists of the stunning Bella Donna Silver range with Harmony Balls of every shape and size.

Settle in with a Chick Flick!

Here’s a movie to romance all your senses.

Set primarily in the south of France, “The Hundred Foot Journey” stars award-winning actress Dame Helen Mirren and will stir your passion – for food, for cooking, for life itself.

Following a tragedy, the Kadam family travels across Europe looking for a place to call home: somewhere they can continue their tradition of cooking and open a restaurant bursting with the flavours of India. Along the way, they encounter prejudice, hardship, and of course – love (this is a chick flick after all!).

The Hundred Foot Journey

Thanks to Buena Vista Australia New Zealand, I have 5 copies of The Hundred Foot Journey to give away!

The Hundred Foot Journey was released on DVD or Blu-Ray for you to own on 4 February 2015.

Finding Mr Right

I can’t believe I am promoting a book called “A Single Girl’s Guide to Finding Mr Right”.

On the cover, it reads: sure fire ways for finding the perfect man. Doesn’t it just sound like a heap of condescending twaddle?

book cover (1)
You’ll love this, even if you’re not single!

That is, until you open it up. And that’s when you realise: there is nothing inside. It’s blank! Pure genius 😉 .

Winning this cute notebook is guaranteed to bring a smile to your face this Valentine’s Day, regardless of whether you’re single or in a relationship – and I have two to give away to good homes!

A Box of Chocolates

As Forrest Gump famously said, “Life is like a box of chocolates” …

Chocolates
Not actual prize – but you get the idea …

 

And no Valentine’s give away would be complete without a box of chocolates. So for the final prize, I’m giving away a box of chocolates to one lucky reader.

All you have to do is follow the rafflecopter prompts below to enter – winners will be drawn on Valentine’s Day. Sorry, Australian entries only – and good luck!

  1. The heart shaped pendant is beautiful, but wouldn’t any gift be fab on Valentines day

    • I would love to win the heart shaped pendant so that I can feel the love every day.

  2. Great giveaway. We don’t normally do much for Valentines Day but we missed our 19th Wedding Anniversary in November when hubby was at sea with work, so I’m keen to take things up a notch this year. Chocolate is always on the agenda.

  3. Love the heart shaped pendant. My hubby and I don’t celebrate Valentine’s Day – a bit before our time I think! Plus my birthday is in February so it would mean two presents if we did. It’s a lovely sentiment though. 🙂

  4. I think that the heart shaped pendant is beautiful, also who wouldn’t like a box of chocolates. For us Valentines day is proposal day, it will be 21 years ago this Valentines Day.

  5. I love the pendant – who wouldn’t! But The Hundred Foot Journey sounds like a great story and I think I’d enjoy watching that!

  6. I would love the heart bell pendant, I have a Teddy Bear with the same name as my husband who passed away 12 years ago. The last thing he bought me was a locket for valentines day, I would love this pendant to wear and put around the bears neck ????

  7. i would love the harmony ball pendent but the Single girls guide to finding mr right would be okay too

  8. I would love a yummy box of chocolates to share with the only person I love enough to share chocolate with… my mum!
    Thanks for the chance 🙂

  9. OMG, I just love the heart harmony ball pendant. I have been looking for the perfect harmony ball for ages and this one has to be it!

  10. Mr Vick & I love sharing a good film together so I think the “The Hundred Foot Journey” would create a great, muchly needed date night for us at home. That’s about the extent of our romance at the moment when we can manage sitting down at the same time!

  11. It’s not only valentines day on 14-2-15, it’s also my birthday. My romantic hubby has never forgotten either in our 48 years of marriage. We both love to treat ourselves by going to the movies, so I think “The Hundred Foot Journey” would be a nice prize to win.

  13. I love the heart shaped pendant. Hearing the chimes would be a beautiful reminder of loved ones. I have a newborn and hubby and I were so sleep deprived we both forgot our wedding anniversary a month ago! A necklace would make up for that

  14. Def the movie “The Hundred Foot Journey”. Nothing better than a night in watching a feel good chick flick 🙂

  15. I’d love to win the Heart Shaped Harmony Ball from Oh My Giddy Aunt. Stunning design with timeless lasting beauty. The beginning of an heirloom perhaps.

  16. I’d love the Heart Shaped Harmony Ball necklace. The idea of beautiful chimes within a gorgeous necklace sounds divine. Hearing the chines would be a calming reminder to me to maintain harmony and balance within my life, especially when I’m going through stressful times!

  17. I would love to win the chicks at the flicks prize. On Friday, my 19 yo daughter and I were in a shop and I was admiring some valentines day things. She admonished me “you can’t buy that!” To which I reply “yes I can, I love myself and I can be my own valentine!”
    Would love to win so her and I can go to the movies together

  18. Love to me is about sharing – sharing your life, sharing your thoughts and of course sharing chocolates! So I’d choose the chocolates so my partner and I can enjoy!

  19. Would love the movie, pendant or chocolates. But hey winning anything would be great! Love you mummy x

  20. Hmmmm, pretty hard to decide, toss up between the chocolate and the pendant! Maybe the pendant just wins over!

  25. Box of chocolates please and thank you 🙂
    They always taste nicer when received as a surprise or a gift.

  26. The heart shaped harmony ball will look lovely on my neck, like baubles on a Christmas tree!

  27. I love Helen Mirren so The Hundred Foot Journey would be nice, although I love chocolates too, so I wouldn’t mind really.

  30. All the prizes are amazing and I would love to win any of them, my favourite would be The Hundred Foot Journey as I love a good movie, especially one with such an interesting story line.

  31. Love the pendant. It’s a romantic, peaceful piece of jewellery and would be fabulous to hand down to my daughter.

  33. Hmmmm…. I love the necklace.
    But truly i would want too share.
    The DVD / Chocolate combination beware.
    For true love is in the air.

  34. I know my husband won’t be buying me chocolates so I’d love some from you guys!

  36. I’m a simple girl, I would love a box of wonderfully tasty chocolates.

  37. I’d like to win the heart shaped harmony ball because I’ve recently started walking and with it I shall have music wherever I go 😉

  41. I’d be happy with the book… Because I know there’s a snowflake’s chance of any Valentine giving me one of the other beauties!!! ESPECIALLY that gorgeous Harmony Ball…

  42. The heart shaped harmony ball from my giddy aunt looks beautifu;. I would love to give this to my mum, keeping her stress free and relaxed.

  44. The harmony ball. Soothing my restless soul 🙂 thankyou, great giveaway.

  45. It’s too hard to choose! I love the pendant, I would wear that for sure. But I could take my single mum to the movies, or I could share the chocolates with my husband. ooooooh I’ll take any?!?!?! 🙂

  46. Chocolates! I don’t buy them for myself anymore but I LOVE them – it could be a Valentine’s Day celebration of my love for chocolate:)

  47. I cannot choose, they are all wonderful prizes. Any one would be very generous.

  48. The Hundred Foot Journey DVD…looks like a delightful movie. One that will be an enjoyable ‘real’ story of people and passion for food!

  50. The hundred food journey prize would be my fav! Great giveaway! Happy Valentines Day everyone! 🙂

  53. The pendant is absolutely beautiful, but I’m sure my partner would prefer the chocolates, don’t think the pendant would suit him 🙂

  56. I’d love The One-Hundred Foot Journey DVD. Few movies depict older people as interesting individuals who contribute to communities and workplaces, and pursue romance. This is a great example of one that does. Thanks for offering these great prizes!

  57. I need more Harmony in my life, so the heart pendant would be perfect for me. Thanks.

  58. Would love to win anything but the Heart Shaped Harmony Ball from Oh My Giddy Aunt is just gorgeous.

  59. Being married 17 1/2 years, it’s safe to say that Valentine’s Day does NOT get celebrated here. A box of choccies would be absolutely lovely to treat myself, hubby, and the four kidlets.

  60. I’d love to win ‘The hundred foot journey” on dvd. I love a chick flick. I’ve heard it’s a great film too. 🙂
