Although this is primarily a food blog I thought, as it was Christmas, I’d diversify a little and recognise that it’s also a very stressful time of year, what with menu planning, present shopping and wrapping to contend with. So what better time than to take a little bit of “me time” and pamper yourself for a change.
The nice people at Sainsbury’s have given me one of their exclusive Nip + Fab Ultimate Pamper Kits to give away to one lucky reader. This kit contains all of your pampering must haves and is presented in a fabulous blue tote bag. The kit contains: Nip + Fab’s body wash, body lotion, facial wash, hand cream, day cream, eye cream, relaxation mask, hydrating mask and facial scrub and is valued at £40.

Good Luck!
I want to give this to my boyfriend who needs to be pamperd.
He himself would never pamper anyone but he might change
his mind when he can feel the sweetness in being pamperd.
Best christmas whishes

I would like to nominate my husband’s Grandmother, Mary! She is 96 or she may even be 97 (you tend to lose count after a while!) lol
Anyway, even at that delicate age she still maintains a strict beauty regime, which involves my mother-in- law slathering her in moisturiser day and night! She has fantastic skin and a smile that would knock any man off his feet!
I WANT TO LOOK LIKE HER WHEN I’M THAT AGE!!!!!
Lynda Sorenson deserves pampering after all that has gone on this last year or so.
Graham and I have had the year from hell. He wouldn’t enjoy the spa bag, but God, I would love it. And we all know that when Mama’s happy, everyone is happy. I’d adore a day when I can spend the whole day in the tub turning pruney and yet magically younger. (I already have his Christmas gift picked out, a lovely new Harris tweed flat cap. This could be my gift from him.)
I’m getting married on the 20th, so I’d give it to my lovely Mum, to say thank you for helping me with my wedding cake, flowers and decorations.
I would love to give this to my husband. He pretends pampering is for girls but he loves it really. We have just moved into a new house and he has been working day and night to repair leaks, boliers and to make it livable and he deserves a treat and some pampering.
I would like to give the nip and fab pampering kit to my best friend. This year has been the worst time of her life as she has lost her beautiful daughter but she still phones me to see if i’m alright. She has been very brave but needs time too chill now and look after herself. This pampering kit would be very much appreciated.
I would give this gift to my daughter Rebecca. She gave birth last year to twin girls 10 week premature (initially having tripltes but lost one early on in pregnancy) They weighed at 1lb 10oz and 3lb. The journey has been very difficult not knowing if they were going to survive. They were in hospital for 3 months and every day of survival they got stronger. however this has taken a toll on Rebecca and she deserves some ‘me time’. She is a fab mother and deserves a bit of pamering !
My dear mum! She’s just come out of hospital after a long, painful op on her foot! So, now she’s ‘NIP’py, and, mobile again, she just needs this to make her look and feel ‘FAB’!
I would give it to my sister, she is a busy working mum to my three nieces, and she deserves a bit of pampering.
I would keep it for myself I could do with a bit of pampering
I’d give this to my wife, she organises us all year not only at Christmas so she should be pampered
I would give it to my daughter as she has been working so hard with her A levels
My mother-in-law as she is a fantastic support and looks after my three girls whilst I go to work.
My sister who has helped me endlessly this year.
I would give it to my mum as I think she is a super mum! she helps me & my sisters out all the time with the 6 grandchildren that we have between us and this is as well as looking after her elderly father & working as a gym manager 30 hours a week which she puts her all into. She looks fab anyway but I know she would love this and I think she needs a bit of pampering after everything she does for everyone else!
I would keep it for myself because I don’t pamper myself that often 🙂
I WOULD GIVE IT TO MY BEST FRIEND SHE’S HAD A HARD YEAR
I’d like to give this to my sister Sarah.
She’s had a tough few years and needs to relax. She found out she had CIN3 which is when it starts to develop to cervical cancer but they removed it thankfully. She’s suffered many miscarriages which we thought was due to the fact her Cervix was thin but have found she has a blood clotting disorder which sees the baby/fetus as a virus and basically erm….kills it off.
She’s had it rough but has kept strong on the outside.
I’d give this to my mum. She’s been donning the overalls this year, helping to renovate my brother’s first house, so I think she deserves some pampering.
I would love this for my Wife, she has had a very difficult couple of years yet remains my rock and my soulmate. She deserves something nice to happen.
I’d give it to my mother-in-law who’s the age where she needs all the help she can get, but don’t tell her I said 🙂
My duaghter because she needs more than grunge
I would like to give this to my mum, her mums just passed away after 2 years of being a live in carer, so I think she deserves a bit of pampering as she’s feeling as though she lost her purpose at the moment!
My mum as she could do with some pampering putting up with Victor Meldrew, I mean my dad lol 😉
I would give to my Mum because she deserves a treat and for always having a smile on her face! 🙂
Would give it to my lovely mother!
Definately my cousin who is having a rought time believing that 2013 is going to be any better than 2011 and 2012.
I’d give it to my beautiful mum because she is always running around for everyone else (including me) and she never treats herself 🙂
My Wife – She’s the best
I’d give it to my mother in law. She’s been great this year, insisting on helping everyone through their assorted crisis despite not being too well herself.
I’d give it to my mum. She retired this year and she’s finally getting time to relax so a pamper package like this would be fab! 🙂
I’d share this with my 81 year old Mother we’d have a pamper girlie night in.
THIS WOULD BE PERFECT FOR MY SISTER IN LAW, ITS HER BIRTHDAY ON THE 28TH DEC SO SHE NEVER GETS A PROPER BIRTHDAY & SHE NEEDS ALL THE PAMPERING SHE CAN GET, THEY ARE STARTING TO FOSTER YOUNG CHILDREN IN THE NEW YEAR – WELCOME TO EARLY MORNINGS & PARENTING STRESSES LOL
@EMMAV6
my mum, as now my sister and niece have moved out she has a bit of peace and quiet to herself
To my mum as shes always so busy at christmas time!
WOULD BE LOVELY TO HAVE A LITTLE TREAT FOR MYSELF THIS CHRISTMAS, DONT GET MANY XMAS PREZZIES SO THIS WOULD BE A WELCOMED GIFT 🙂
I would give this pampering treat to my mum. She thoroughly deserves it after beating cancer last year. She went through the worst time but is back to health at last.
I would keep it for myself
My beautiful Nan 🙂 My Nan makes me smile & laugh all the time, she looked after me when I was younger & was my best friend. She’s totally hilarious you wouldn’t think she’s 82! I know she’s been under the weather recently & I’d love to return even some of the happiness she’s brought to us 🙂
i would keep it for myself as i need papmpering as i have had a bad year being diagonised with coeliac disease and just gone on a gluten free diet and getting married on 29th june 2013 so would love to be pampered and get my skin in good condition for my wedding.this would be really help.
I would give it to my mum as she needs cheering up as her cat has just died and she’s very upset.
I’d share it with my daughter, we both deserve some pampering and nothing beats some mom and daughter time for me.
I’d give it to my sister as she was very supportive earlier this year when I had to have an op
I would give to my daughter as she works two jobs and she needs some pampering
My sister…because she’s worth it
My sister- she is at college and working in order to get in to and pay for uni next year.
I’d give it to my husband he looks after me and gives me little treats all the time so I’d love to treat him to this pamper kit x
My mum! It’s her birthday on the 17th and she has been a star this year! Supporting me and my husband during the labour and birth of our first baby!
I’d give this to my Mum. She’s been absolutely brilliant throughout a tough year. I really don’t know what I’d do without her.
I’d give this to my friend J., who is not only making dinner on 25 December for a whole group of friends who wouldn’t have anywhere else to go on Christmas Day, but is going onto hospital for an op on New Year’s Eve, so she’s a real hero – and a great person. she’s fab and she’s having a nip under anaesthetic, so she really deserves this!
I would give this to my mother as she has had a rough year nursing her brother. I would love to be able to give her a treat.
I would keep this myself because at my age I need all the help I can get!
x
I’d give this to my mum she truly deserves it
I would give it to my best friend, because she has been there for me when I need a chat.
Would love to give it to my girlfriend who is the best person in the world.
I would love to give this to my wonderful daughter, as she has had a horrible year, health-wise, and really deserves some pampering
would like to give this to my sister-in-law because she is the most amazing person i know, looking after 3 boys, poorly husband with serious heart condition and chair of our PTA, she really deserves this!
I would nominate my wife Deborah. She looks after our three children and rarely gets any time to pamper herself.
I would give it my boss Suzie, who came back of maternity leave in september and is finding it very hard to juggle full time work and being away from her two children, and so is taking it out on us at work. She needs to relax and be pampered so she is happier at home and at work – making our lives happier as well!
I would give it to my mum for all the help she gives me…
My mother – she moved out of the family home to be a full time carer to her mum, my nan, she has been there since November 2011, she is such an inspiration, I dont think I could cope with what she has, she deserves to lock herself away for a few hours with a nip n fab pamper pack, me and my 2 sisters could go over too! YES! and get some bubbles from Sainsburys on route, loving my own ideas lol x
I would give it to my sister
i would give it to my sister, she just broke up with her girlfriend. shes needs it
I’d give it to my lovely wife who manages to always keep smiling whilst juggling a new job, two teenagers, various pets and of course me! If anyone deserves pampering she certainly does.
I’d give it to my nan, she loves things like this! 🙂
i would selfishly keep the pamper kit for myself , as i really really deserve it , not only had a big familty get together over xmas to sort out also trying to sort out my las vegas wedding and then a huge reception a week after we get back so i really really need to turmn off and unwind .. just for an hour then ill get back to planning i promise !!
I would give it to my daughter, she could use a treat after having my first grandchild
