WIN: $2480 worth of prizes for Mother’s Day

I know there are a lot of people out there who poo, poo Mother’s Day as another ploy to make us shop.  I am SO not one of them.  Give me any day that celebrates … well, me … and I’m there. Bring on the spoiling.  I’m ready and waiting.

Since I’m not a completely self-centred, I thought I’d spread a bit of pre-Mother’s Day love around and gather together some fabulous prizes for you.

These 17 prizes, which are worth $2480.40:

1.  Will make YOU or your mum feel extra special;

2.  Are NOT substitutes for potential gift giving on the day (if you win that prize is just a bonus!); and

3.  Could potentially act as a giant hint list to the Mother’s Day gift buyer in your household.

The official stuff: Styling You readers have the chance to win one of 17 prizes in my Mother’s Day competition.  The total prize pool is valued at $2480.40.  The competition starts on Friday, April 1, 2011 and ends on Friday, April 29, 2011 at 5pm (AEST).  Winners will be selected at random using www.random.org and notified by email on Monday, May 2.  The winners’ names will also be posted here.
