12 Days of Giveaways -- this means twelve days of prizes, twelve winners, and twelve moments of giving back!

As I explained at the end of The Ultimate Ethical Gift Guide, this year I am thankful that several brands have been kind enough to offer their creations as prizes.  You will find these wonderful gifts as well as other green goodies supplied by me here in this special reveal, and I do hope you take some time to learn about these fab businesses and what they offer!

As for the giveaway itself, it will run via Rafflecopter and be focused here on the blog as well as Twitter, though you can find further snippets of prizes on Instagram stories each day too!  Want to take part??  There are 12 chances to win, extra surprises in store, and lots of excitement in the lead up to Christmas day!

Day 1: Tisserand - 3-Step Ritual to Energise

As seen in The Ultimate Ethical Gift Guide, Tisserand is a aromatherapy brand that offers natural and budget friendly creations.  I have been a long time fan, and have been using their products regularly for years now.   Not only is the majority of their collection under a tenner, but they're such good quality - they source their pure essential oils in either organic, wild-crafted, or ethically harvested conditions, and each formula I have tried is aromatic and memorable.  They make one of my all-time favourite bedtime sprays (Lavender + Chamomile), have lovely bath oils that dissipate in the running water, and such a wide range of aromatherapeutic rollerballs.

Their 3-Step Ritual to Energise is one of their wellbeing kits, and it's a lovely little set that is designed to revitalize tired minds and bodies.  The Energy High blend contains top notes of lime, grapefruit, and orange leaf, and you can enjoy the gorgeous uplifting scent in mini versions of the Massage and Body Oil, Moodfix Mist, and Pulse Point Roller Ball.

Day 2: Inner Senses Organics - Glow in a Bag

Inner Senses is a green beauty brand close to my heart.  This multi award-winning British artisan brand was founded by Lisa, a kind-hearted and talented soul who works tirelessly to ensure her products are exceptional and that her customers are content.  From sleepy time oils and refreshing cleansers, to blends that help you feel invigorated and masks that rejuvenate your complexion...  There truly is a formula for everyone in this range.  These are aromatherapeutic in every sense of the word, and I am never without at least a few on my shelf.

Glow in a Bag is a limited edition Christmas collection that contains a selection of skincare treats that will get your skin glowing.  The set includes a sustainable jute bag that houses a full size bottle of the multi-tasking marvel Glow Facial Oil, as well as an organic muslin cloth and three minis: a sample of the Vibrant Earth Revitalising Detox Powder Mask, a vial of the unique and nourishing Greenhouse Tomato and Carrot Seed Renewing Oil Cleanser, and a bottle of the ultra-conditioning Raspberry Rose Replenishing Facial Oil.  Glow in a Bag has everything you need to power up your skincare routine through the winter months, and it is a beautiful introduction to Inner Senses.

Prize supplied by Inner Senses Organics, and will be sent direct to winner from the brand.

Day 3: Tweezerfile

As featured in The Ultimate Ethical Gift Guide, Tweezerfile is a lifestyle beauty brand out to make a difference when it comes to everyday tools.  They created a product that could save money as well as reduce the impact on the environment, and are dedicated to providing high quality and durable solutions.  They believe that sometimes simple ideas are the best, and I have to agree!

This reusable product has been made to sharpen and restore used tweezers in an effort to minimize waste.  The diamond coated stainless steel blade transforms dull tweezer edges and makes them precise once again, and can be used again and again so you don't have to keep buying replacements.  The tool comes in two colours, Coral and Petrol Blue, and it is ergonomically designed so the contoured handle is comfortable to hold.  It's super easy to use, and takes just three steps: hold the Tweezerfile and grip your old tweezers, slide the tweezer tip up and down the blade gently, admire your new tweezers!  

Prize supplied by Tweezerfile, and will be sent direct to winner from the brand.

Day 4: Help Me Organics - Say Hello to Winter Candle

I first discovered Help Me Organics at the end of 2018, and it was a joy exploring more of their range this holiday season.  This holistic brand is focused on providing aromatherapy and skincare products that don't hurt that planet, and choose every ingredient with this mission in mind.  The full range is vegan friendly, organic, and of course natural, and each formulation has a wellbeing intention in mind.  I love the approach, and find it really useful as it is easy to navigate what the diffusers, essential oil blends, massage oils, room sprays, and candles offer based on their name.

The Say Hello to Winter Candle is just as it sounds - a soy wax candle housed in a super cute red jar with silver stars with a scent inspired by winter that will have you feeling festive in no time!  The mix of fir needle, clove bud, sweet orange, ginger, and lemon, this offers an aroma that brings to mind that holiday spirit thanks to the notes of warm spice.  It's like a snow covered forest on a silent night as you sit all bundled up sipping a hot cuppa around a cozy fire.  It's seriously stunning, and since it lasts ages (it's 250g!) you will be enjoying this through the whole winter season.

Prize supplied by Help Me Organics, and will be sent direct to winner from the brand.

Day 5: Plant Cuttings

I love plants, and I have a lot of them - so I decided to spread some of nature's joy with you lovelies!  I will hand select three cuttings for the winner of Day 5 and create a little booklet that explains all about the plant, how to propagate, and what the care will be once the cutting roots.  I'll even try my hand at drawing!  This is a fun prize that is near and dear to me, so I do hope whoever wins truly enjoys this!

As this is a little more specialist, I will be drawing the winner of Day 5 from Twitter only.  I will put up a special tweet on December 5th, and anyone who enters from then until the Rafflecopter giveaway deadline will be in it to win it.  I will draw the winner on the same day as the other winners, and will check all entries on the tweet to make sure they are valid.

Day 6: PHB - Superfood Brightening Skin Tonic

Another long term love, PHB is a budget friendly vegan green beauty brand that offers it all - makeup, skincare, haircare, soaps...  Since relaunching last year they've introduced more eco-friendly packaging as well as more organic ingredients to their formulations, and I have been well impressed by everything I have tried.  They make my favourite mascara, my go to eyeshadows, and so many stunning cleansers, oils, and multi-taskers - this is truly a one stop shop when it comes to beauty essentials!

One of the products I discovered last year is so fab that I have repurchased it several times, and I decided to gift this bottle of Superfood Brightening Skin Tonic on to one lucky winner.  With a balanced concentration of natural oils and extracts, this toner has been created to offer a soothing experience that brightens and evens the complexion, targets signs of aging, balances natural oils, tightens pores, and regulates the pH levels.  It's great any time of year, but makes for a lovely boost in winter especially.

P.s. Grab 30% off your order using code BRYANNA30 (one time use only!)

Day 7: The Practical Balance - Crisis Kit

The Practical Balance has an aim of "helping overachievers & recovering perfectionists get sh*t done with more peace, power and purpose," and if that is not what 2020 needs then I don't know what does!  Founded by the lovely Vix, a former military officer who turned her experience and passion towards becoming a certified wellbeing coach and embodied facilitator, the brand provides events as well as resources and workshops to those looking to get new perspectives, find a natural state of grace, or get their team on the journey towards high performance.

Vix has kindly offered her Crisis Kit to one lucky winner, and I think this is such a perfect prize.  The Crisis Kit is an online course that supplies "simple, practical tools to create some breathing space so you can focus on what's really important to you when overwhelm threatens to overwhelm you."  You will be provided with eight practices that help with stress and build resilience, four focus tools that practical ways of sorting out priorities and managing workloads, and a weekly mutual support network that is free from judgment.

Prize supplied by The Practical Balance, and will be sent direct to winner from the brand.

Day 8: Critically Endangered Socks

Featured in The Ultimate Ethical Gift Guide, Critically Endangered Socks is a lifestyle brand driven by a passion for wildlife.  This ethics driven business raises money for animals in crisis, plus they ensure the products they create are kind to the planet.  Critically Endangered Socks are made with 80-85% organic cotton or 80% bamboo, and part of the sales price is donated directly to charities that protect the species featured on the pieces.  There are six organizations involved, from the WWF to WildCats Conservation Alliance, and all receive a set percentage to help the animals.

These socks are super cute, soft, and stylish, so you will be keen to show them off as soon as they land at your door.  As this is the holiday season and there has been a huge demand for this philanthropic fashion, Critically Endangered Socks cannot guarantee that the style you want will be in stock when the giveaway closes -- however, the winner will be able to pick the size they wear and a random pair in that size will be sent out.  But don't fret - every single set of socks by Critically Endangered Socks is adorable so whichever you get I am sure you will love!

Prize supplied by Critically Endangered Socks, and will be sent direct to winner from the brand.

Day 9: Halo Coffee - £40 Voucher

Hands up if you love coffee!!  Well, this prize is most definitely one for you, as Halo Coffee supply the world's first biodegradable coffee pods as well as specialist coffee machines.  Halo Coffee states that they exist because compromise shouldn't, and I admire that a lot - great coffee, convenience, and sustainability do not need to be separate entities.  While other coffee capsule creators generated 60 billion pods that were unable to be recycled or composted, this brand created a solution so no shortcuts have to be taken!

Halo capsules are made with waste sugar cane and are fully home compostable - no ifs ands or buts!  Plus, the coffee inside is specialty grade so you are getting a full, rich, delectable flavour and aroma every time you enjoy.  They currently offer nine varieties, both blends and single origin, each of which are compatible with the Nespresso Original home systems as well as the Opal One Capsule Machine.  And the winner of Day 9 will be able to choose whatever they wish from the Halo Coffee range with their voucher!

Like Day 5, as this is a little more specialist, I will be drawing the winner of Day 9 from Twitter only.  I will put up a special tweet on December 9th, and anyone who enters from then until the Rafflecopter giveaway deadline will be in it to win it.  I will draw the winner on the same day as the other winners, and will check all entries on the tweet to make sure they are valid.

Prize supplied by Halo Coffee, and will be sent direct to winner from the brand.

Day 10: Neve's Bees Rosey Lip Balm + Surprise Mini Beauty Treats

Neve's Bees, as featured in The Ultimate Ethical Gift Guide, is a green beauty brand that utilizes ethical bee products to create plastic free natural treatments that nourish and protect the skin.  Based in West Oxfordshire, Neve and Julie developed a thriving apiary, and the rest is history!  I have been enjoying their goodies for several months now, and also had the pleasure of doing a Q+A session where all my questions about beekeeping and bee derived ingredients were thoughtfully explored - and now I have the joy of sharing this fab brand with you!

The Rosey Lip Balm is made with premium local beeswax, cocoa butter, a blend of apricot, coconut, and jojoba oil, and a blend of thousands upon thousands of crushed rose petals (rose otto and rose geranium).  It's the perfect treat for dry skin, and is described as a spa for your lips!  Designed to keep your lips soft and soothed, this formula is definitely nourishing - plus, it can also double up for other purposes too if you're on the go.

Rosey Lip Balm supplied by Neve's Bees, and will be sent to winner by me.

Day 11: Nami Naturale - €50 Voucher

Featured in my recent Best Natural Beauty Brands to Gift This Year guide, Nami Naturale is an Irish based skincare brand that places importance on selfcare, love, and healing.  Handcrafted by founder Jan, the luxurious capsule collection is certainly turning heads ever since their launch.  Everything in the range focuses on easing troubled skin, soothing irritations, and offering wellbeing benefits on top of the nourishing properties found within the formulations.

I love the importance Nami Naturale places on ingredients, as they choose only plant based and nature derived resources that provide anti-ageing, hydrating and anti-inflammatory properties.  Plus, I think it is great that they utilize scientifically proven actives rather than chasing after fads - Jan aims to combine scientific data and modern technology when crafting her products, and this ensures that all the final results are effective as well as essential.  And one lucky winner will be able to choose from this stunning range with their voucher!

Prize supplied by Nami Naturale, and will be sent direct to winner from the brand.

Day 12: Forever Summer Bundle

Just because it is winter does not mean we have to lose our sunkissed glow, so this skincare bundle is ready to help you get that midsummer radiance back!  The bundle will include three beauty treats: a full size bottle of Deep Nourish Facial Essence with Rose & Blackcurrant from The Rose Tree, a full size bottle of Gradual Tan Moisturiser from Green People, a 30ml size tube of Fragrance Free Face Balm from Balm Balm (old packaging), and a mini 40g tin of Calm Salt & Sulphur Scrub from The Salt Parlour.  Each will restore and nourish your skin, and work towards providing a lovely glowy complexion from head to toe.
