[ Post your entry here ]


Well, Christmas is just 'round the corner. No doubt the shops will be decked out with their Christmas decorations this weekend. That's those that aren't already 'Christmassy'. Personally, I love the excesses of food and drink. Never forget what Christmas is really about: eating you own weight in Quality Street!

It's difficult to avoid that post-Christmas downer though, isn't it? You spend the best part of two months building up to it, then it whizzes by in a flash of parties, impromptu (drunken) carol singing and stuffing turkeys. After the pantomime is over, you find yourself addicted to Rennie or Alkaselzer, surrounded by bin bags full of gift wrap, with nothing to look forward to but a fridge full of left over turkey sandwiches and red letters from the bank regarding your over-drawn overdraft.

Yes, the long haul to next pay day can be a very long and tortuous one, indeed. Then, flip me, if it isn't Valentine's Day lurking 'round the very next corner. There's barely a breather then even more expense!

Our £200 prize would buy this handmade pendant necklace and leave change for a massive bouquet!

Well fear not, because at pressies4princesses we've decided to offer a £200 "Christmas Blues" spending spree to one lucky guy or girl to stretch the festive cheer. For blokes, this will help ease the burden of Valentine's. While girls, you get to buy yourself all the things that matey boy should have, but didn't!

To win, all you need to do is tell us about the worst present you ever received or gave. We'll pick one lucky winner at random from all the anecdotes.

Girls: this is your chance to shame your man, let go of disappointment and receive some well-earned sympathy (not to mention retail therapy) from us here at pressies'. And, once you've posted your sorry tale online, all womankind will offer their collective shoulder for you to cry on. Get it off your chest, post your rant here!

Boys: if you ballsed it up (again!) this £200 could put you back in her good books by Valentine's. That's right, just the 7 weeks of sulking and recriminations to cope with. Alternatively, if you have past failings to confess, here's a chance to clear your conscience and overdraft (well, not make it any worse on Valentine's Day). C'mon, fess up here by posting a comment!
