There\u2019s always so much to do but I love it!! This year, due to some of the family being out of the country for Christmas, we are going to have an early Christmas dinner in mid-December!! (Table for 14 please? \ud83d\ude03).<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ll be hosting which is great and I cannot wait to have everyone together. It does however mean that I do need to be organised this year (not really sure that I\u2019m quite on track yet with my prior publicised deadline from a <a href=\"https:\/\/stories.qvcuk.com\/presenters\/anne-dawson\/short-and-sweet\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">previous blog<\/a>!!). Some of the family can wait to do the usual Christmas Day gifting but for others, it will be the only opportunity\u2026 so skates on Dawson and get with the programme!!<\/p>\n<p>Given the title of this blog and the reference to &#8220;unwrapping&#8221;, we have a <strong>QVC Unwrapped<\/strong> event this Saturday (November 20th). What\u2019s that all about I hear you say? Well, watch the video below and our lovely Will shall reveal all \ud83d\ude0a.<\/p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/b-hImdduDlU\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe>\n<p>Having trouble viewing this video?

A brilliant <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qvcuk.com\/product.813052.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Podster Coffee Machine Today&#8217;s Special Value (TSV)<\/a> no less that&#8217;s first to launch with QVC, compatible with Nespresso coffee pods and already on pre-sell!<\/p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-111437\" src=\"https:\/\/stories.qvcuk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/813052.v.003.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stories.qvcuk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/813052.v.003.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/stories.qvcuk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/813052.v.003-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/stories.qvcuk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/813052.v.003-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/stories.qvcuk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/813052.v.003-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/stories.qvcuk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/813052.v.003-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/stories.qvcuk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/813052.v.003-1536x1536.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/>\n<p>On the day, there will also be a chance to indulge in their unadulterated deliciousness in making the most incredible chocolate. I am so proud of myself. I ordered their last chocolate selection TSV\u2026 and haven\u2019t eaten them all yet (or even any at all for that matter!!). Such restraint. Such willpower. Such optimism (watch this space \ud83e\udd23).<\/p>\n<p>So how have you been enjoying our great offers of late? I have made a bit of a dent on my Christmas list (but nowhere near a big enough dent!!). I honestly don\u2019t know what I\u2019d do without QVC for Christmas shopping. I don\u2019t buy absolutely everything from here but in all honesty, I\u2019d say it\u2019s a good 75% at least!! I have to be careful what I share here as I could give the game away early but suffice to say a good number of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qvcuk.com\/elemis\/beauty\/_\/N-1z13y3iZlfm0\/c.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Elemis<\/a> TSV\u2019s were ordered along with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qvcuk.com\/Liz-Earle-Botanical-Scents-of-Winter-4-Piece-Gift-Collection.product.245770.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Liz Earle<\/a> and what about this Sunday\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qvcuk.com\/LOccitane-Full-of-Festivities-7-Piece-Collection.product.243944.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Full of Festivities<\/a> corker from <strong>L\u2019Occitane<\/strong>?<\/p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-111440\" src=\"https:\/\/stories.qvcuk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/243944.v.003.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stories.qvcuk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/243944.v.003.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/stories.qvcuk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/243944.v.003-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/stories.qvcuk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/243944.v.003-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/stories.qvcuk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/243944.v.003-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/stories.qvcuk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/243944.v.003-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/stories.qvcuk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/243944.v.003-1536x1536.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/>\n<p>Is that really the price? (You can check it out now if you like, you don\u2019t even have to wait until then!!). An amazing offer in a choice of three flavours (okay\u2026 options, please don\u2019t eat them!), it&#8217;s a fabulous six-piece collection in a beautiful pom pom bag. What\u2019s not to love? I\u2019ve ordered mine (well sadly it\u2019s not for me \ud83d\ude14)\u2026 although there\u2019s still time to add to the order \ud83d\ude0a. Join me at 2pm on Sunday for a full hour of this stunning range!<\/p>\n<p>Now, would you like to hear about my latest obsession? Hillwalking or trekking or just getting your shoes muddy (whatever you want to call it). I\u2019ve been doing this for a few weeks now and easily clocking up about 20 miles a week\u2026 and I LOVE IT!!<\/p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-111439\" src=\"https:\/\/stories.qvcuk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Walks.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1800\" height=\"2400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stories.qvcuk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Walks.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/stories.qvcuk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Walks-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/stories.qvcuk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Walks-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/stories.qvcuk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Walks-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/stories.qvcuk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Walks-1536x2048.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/>\n<p>Talk about a great way to get some exercise and blow off the cobwebs!! I\u2019m amazed at some of the beautiful sights you get to see right on your doorstep when you take time to just stop and look\u2026 and you\u2019ll see I\u2019ve made a friend or two as well!! \ud83d\ude00 It\u2019s great thinking time too if you catch my drift.<\/p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-111438\" src=\"https:\/\/stories.qvcuk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Alpacas.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1800\" height=\"2400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stories.qvcuk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Alpacas.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/stories.qvcuk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Alpacas-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/stories.qvcuk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Alpacas-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/stories.qvcuk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Alpacas-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/stories.qvcuk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Alpacas-1536x2048.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/>\n<p>Talking of thinking. One final thought, but the whole business of wrapping (or unwrapping) reminds me of a friend of mine Leslie (a HUGE QVC fan). A couple of years ago she missed out on one of our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qvcuk.com\/Perfect-Present-20-Piece-Giftbag-and-Tag-Collection.product.815358.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">gift-wrapping\u00a0bag sets<\/a>, so last year she asked me to tell her when we had these back in stock. I duly complied! She than asked me to order her a couple of sets as she was at work. I duly did not comply!! I totally forgot. Well I\u2019m on the ball this year and have even ordered a couple of sets for myself!! It just makes life so much easier!<\/p>\n<p>Beginning to feel a tad smug now!! Best beware of that false sense of security!!<\/p>\n<p>Now where did I put those skates?? \ud83d\ude09\ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n<p>Catch you at the weekend folks,<\/p>\n<p>Anne xx<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well hello world and how are you all?
