Congratulations, Katherine-Marie!
Mmm… chocolate… hazelnuts… wafers… I’m not sure who came up with the idea of mixing the sweet of the gods with earthy hazelnuts and crisp wafers –wait, that would be Ferrero. And their chocolates are truly divine.
Here’s my little story. This was in the 90’s (I was a wee lass back then!) and it was either just past Christmas, or just before New Year’s. The past is a little hazy, but whatever the exact date was, the fact remains that my big sister got a special present from grandma. It was a different looking present, to be sure… we conjectured the many things the mysterious package could be… from a jewelry box, to a music box, and finally to an index-card file which we settled on as being most likely. (My, but we did get useful presents regularly in those days!) When she finally opened it, my jaw dropped and I said, “Candy? That’s it?! I guess it’s better than an index-card file…” To my little, unsophisticated mind, toys were preferable to edibles. What use were edibles, anyway? You ate them, they were gone, and you had nothing to hold and play with afterwards. My dad laughed at me. “You’ll change your mind one day about getting food as presents,” he said. And oh, how right he was. (I must admit that after that childish outburst, I went on to savour 5 of those delicious spheres…)
Anyway. Back to the present day. I still love and indulge in Ferrero Rocher, so when I was contacted to see if I would be interested in a giveaway for a 200 gram box of Ferrero Rocher chocolates… well, what do you think I said? 🙂 I’m so excited and pleased to have the opportunity to give back to my lovely readers!
Unfortunately, this contest is open only to Canadian readers. Apologies to all my international friends!

Contest ends on November 16, 2012 and a random comment will be drawn to determine the winner.

So treat yourself, and you might be one of the lucky ones to have something big waiting for you under the Christmas tree this year!

Ferrero Rocher reminds me of Christmas, from the time I was a child. It’s the one time of year we give it and receive it, so it makes it all the more special! I’m enjoying your blog and would love to see more outfit suggestions and product reviews. Thanks!
Favourite Ferrero Rocher moment: Christmas of 2007 – Just got to work and on my desk was a small package of Ferrero Rocher in lieu of a Christmas Card from a favourite office mate! I thought it was the smartest idea! It was a delicious good cheer!!!
Suggested topics for future: Dressing up according to your body type;
Hairstyles for your face and body and personality type;
To Mani or not to mani – is it really part of good grooming? Are clean and well-trimmed fingernails not enough?
Exercises and their calorie burn equivalents…
Love your blog,
Wendy
My favourite Ferrero Rocher moments occur around Christmas time. I love spending time with family and friends around the holiday season and these chocolates make these shared moments extra special!
I’d love all your fashion posts and would love to see more beauty related posts, especially featuring Canadian beauty products.
When I was a little girl my dad would would go into the living room every night after dinner and come back to the kitchen with a chocolate wrapped in gold paper for his only princess daughter (me!!). Those times with my dad were definitely my most memorable Ferrero moments!
I’ve only just begun following your blog but I’d love to see more beauty posts! Perhaps one about your favourite skin care products?
Awesome giveaway!
