I Won The #MAKEITMERRY Chapters Giveaway!

I was the biggest bookworm when I was a kid, so much that my mom would worry I’d just buy books and nothing else (that, for sure, has changed- and maybe she even regrets that statement haha.) Chapters was my safe haven and I feel quite happy that I have attended a few of their media events now. In November, I went to a preview at Chapters to check out their holiday collection. There was also a contest where you fill out items (a style item, home item, tech item, baby item, and a book item) on a list and they draw out a winner who will win everything..and dun dun dun, I was the winner! I rarely win anything on such a big scale, thank you go the book gods!! Best surprise Christmas present ever!!

The five items I won were:

When I was filling out the contest list, I was looking around for a baby item I’d use for myself, a blanket is just perfect for winter or I can keep this in my car!! I’ve also been wanting a Fitbit Alta for almost a year now and refrained from purchasing one so this was exciting; and I already bought a separate teal band for fashionable purposes. Hopefully…this might push me to exercise more, if not, at least I’ll see how much I slept or walked in a day! The Matt and Nat bag is now my current work bag since it can fit my life’s necessities in it- water bottle, umbrella, tylenol, Tiger Balm, a book and the quality is A+!!!

I used to buy so many novels and series, and I’m the type of person to collect the whole series if I started. Yep, that is Fifty Shades of Grey on my couch (there was a deal when you buy three!) and also the whole Artemis Fowl collection too. (There was supposed to be an Artemis Fowl movie but looks like us fans never got one. WHY!!! I think Grant Gustin would be such a cute Artemis, don’t you think so?! 🙂 )

Don’t worry, I have all my Harry Potter books placed somewhere else. Ah yes, and I’m waiting for J.K. Rowling/ Robert Galbraith’s 3rd book to go on sale for $10 at Chapters (I got the first two for $10 each!) Who else is excited for the Series of Unfortunate Events Netflix show?! That was my childhood (after Harry Potter, of course.) The Gold Hexagon Jewelry Case is so pretty; I don’t have a coffee table or vanity to put it on but I did a bunch of cleaning to fit it on my shelf (along with my Harry Potter funkos, my favourite room decor.) Now that I have the first Hogwarts Express funko, I need the other two attachments!! It was a birthday present from my coworker; it’s so adorably geeky!

Ever since Chapters sold thousands of home stuff, a LOT of stuff comes from there; like my backpack, travel mug, mittens, notebooks…the list goes on. They have some of the best Christmas gift selections (PLUS they’re on ebates too – I’m one of the people who is thrilled to get $0.30 back on a $50 order- anyone else with me on this?!) They also carry Herbivore, which is a beauty brand I’ve been wanting to try for a while now (*crossing fingers for a Boxing Day discount*.) Also, Chapters has some of the best flatlay worthy goods; throwing a bunch of stuff on my Secret Santa list.
