I have a fantastic competition to help kick off my #12DaysofConstantChristmas competitions starting next week (1 competition per day for 12 days!) and this will help you to complete your Christmas shopping or be the perfect Christmas present for a loved one. Did you know a 3rd of Brits are hoping to recieve a sleek tablet for Christmas? What a great way to kick off your weekend on this rather #BlackFriday…
Intel recently conducted a survey to gather up some interesting facts about Britains Christmas shopping habits. You can see the research on the Intel UK Newsroom here, I like the fact that 1% of Brits do their Christmas shopping on Christmas Eve, that is cutting it close to the wind.
How do I enter?
To celebrate the new Paddington Bear movie, which was created with the help of Intel, kick off #BlackFriday and just a nice treat for all of my readers in time for Christmas, you can win one of these fantastic tablets. All you need to do is fill out the Gleam entry form below, making sure to answer the question and comment on this blog post as mandatory requirements.
This competition is open for one week and will close on midnight Friday 5th December 2014.Good luck.
