Oh me oh my! For a moment there I almost titled this 2009. To be in March and still be writing 2009 is a lapse indeed. Anyway Dear Readers, I have a fabulous line up of goodies in this month’s To Market, To Market giveaway!
So the lovely people at these companies also agreed to send out a pack of these items to some lucky Not Quite Nigella readers so that you too can sample their goodies instead of just reading about them!
Just leave a comment at the end of the story telling me which product you’d like to try and why. I’m very sorry overseas lovelies but these can only be posted within Australia. The giveaway ends on the 14th of March 
Congratulations to the lucky winners!
Lowan: Elle H., Edward S. and Roz M.
Atticus & Max: Marg R, Danielle Mc., Jacqui L. & Jane J.
Indy & The Ninja: Kate R., Cindy E. & Jade T.
Baker’s Delight: Kristy S., Kelley H., Laura G., Christine Y. & Rebecca W.
Baileys: Liv S. & Bree A.
Lindt: Kelly C & Amy Z.
Arcon: Lei L & Alyce Y.
Lowan cereal
OK I am not a huge untoasted muesli fan but this Lowan cereal is a mix of toasted and untoasted muesli. I liked it best when made into a Bircher muesli as it has lots of yummy fruit that plumps up when soaked overnight. It comes in three flavours: Berry Bliss, Apple & Cinnamon and Nut Crunch.
Thanks to Lowan, four lucky Not Quite Nigella readers will receive a pack containing a 500gram pack of the Berry Bliss, Apple & Cinnamon and Nut Crunch cereals!
Atticus & Max
I do love a good relish as you may know and I was quite smitten with the Atticus and Max Tomato Relish which comes in a big jar. It needs to be though as you will go through it very quickly as it’s very versatile and can be used with so many different items. I met Ben and his wife Eliana at a launch and they’re nice people too (hey that counts!).
Thanks to Atticus & Max, four lucky Not Quite Nigella readers will receive a jar of Atticus & Max Tomato Relish!
Indy & the Ninja
NQN reader Samantha is the face behind Indy and the Ninja’s adorable hair clips or “Kanzashi for Cuties”! For your inner girly girl or your little girl these adorable cake themed snap clips are individual depending on the fabrics that Samantha has on hand and she will assemble them just for NQN readers 
Thanks to Indy & The Ninja three lucky Not Quite Nigella readers will receive a cake hair clip set consisting of a rosette and hair flower in each set!
Bakers Delight
The Easter Bunny is getting closer and closely followed by the bunny is the Easter Bun Monster who is the normal person that transforms into an Eater Bun eating machine and consumes them like Easter is going out of fashion. I speak from experience, of course. Feed your inner Easter Bun Monster with these Baker’s Delight Easter buns!
Thanks to Bakers Delight, five lucky Not Quite Nigella readers will receive a $10 voucher to try some Baker’s Delight Easter buns!
Baileys
It’s a rare person that doesn’t love creamy, smooth Baileys and I admit to drinking it on more than one occasion. When I received some Baileys it came with an adorable Bailey’s cupcake which I promptly scoffed greedily. I then promptly looked for other ways to use up my precious bottle!
Thanks to Baileys, two lucky Not Quite Nigella readers will receive a 700ml original bottle of Baileys (proof of age required)!
Lindt
I’ll admit I got a bit giddy with delight when the courier delivered four boxes of the new Lindt Essence Chocolate with each box containing 6 bags of Lindt Essence chocolate. Yes that’s right, four of my very own store display box of Lindt Essence chocolate. These are individually wrapped chocolates that come in two varieties: milk chocolate with a liquidey caramel filling and a dark chocolate ones with the same oozy caramel filling (there is also an assorted packet that comes with raspberry, mint & Caramel flavour). I thought about it and decided that the best way to still keep fitting into my clothes would be to give two of these boxes away and so you too can play chocolate shop with these delicious chocolates.
Thanks to Lindt, two lucky Not Quite Nigella readers will receive a box containing 6x 150gram packets of Lindt Essence Chocolate!
Arcon
I’ve often said that if I weren’t blogging about food I’d be blogging about fashion or beauty as they run a close second for me. So Dear Readers, I also have a lovely non food product for you. Arcon shampoo, conditioner, hair supplements and hair silk are good for people with fine hair (me!) and helps to grow thick, luscious hair.
Thanks to Arcon, two lucky Not Quite Nigella readers will receive a sampler pack of Arcon worth $129 each!
So readers, leave a comment as to which item you’d like to try and why and you could be receiving it in the mail! Thanks again to these generous brands Lowan, Atticus & Max, Indy & The Ninja, Bailey’s, Baker’s Delight, Lindt and Arcon for providing prizes.
Best of luck and enjoy!
Lots of love,
NQN

Thanks Lorraine for all these lovely gifts, which they are very interesting and amazing, and I don’t mind getting one of the gifts if they ship to Canada…I love Irish Cream. All the gifts are great hard to choose.
Hi NQN… I would love to try the Arcon hair products…
My hair is in a bit of a dire strait condition.. (very dry & brittle).. so i’ve wanted to try it out b4, but didn’t end up ordering it after I found out how much it was..:P
I’d love to try the Baker’s Delights Hot Cross Buns. I love them! xx
I shall put my hand up for the Indy and the Ninja clips – after being knocked out with this cold for over a week, and still feeling pretty wretched, I’d love something cute to put on and feel nice in!
Choices, choices choices! But if it comes down to it, I’d choose the Lindt. My wife and I (after the excesses of last years eating) have been good for months and with our after dinner coffee we often have a piece from these very packs just to make ourselves feel better. And we do!
That tomato relish looks great! I really am a condiment addict
Oh would definitely like to try the Arcon hair products for my fine hair. Sounds terrific
I would love to try the Arcon products, because for some strange reason by hair has decided to start falling out- I have begun shredding my hair all over the place! It is very frustrating as I leave a trail of evidence wherever I go
x
Wow – What fabulous products this month.
I would absolutely love to try the Arcon products because every hair is precious!
PS. Samantha, your hair clips are gorgeous.
Those hairclips are just divine! My almost 2 year old is FINALLY getting some hair and I’ve been on the lookout for some ultra cute clips to hold back the ringlets around her face. I think I’ve just found them! She would love the pictures of the “muppins” too!(anything in a cupcake case is a muffin according to her…)
Hi Lorraine,
Lovely giveaway items as usual. I’d love to try the Lowan cereal and see how it turns out as Bircher muesli with a dash of yoghurt. The apple and cinnamon variety sounds delish.
how nice!!!only for Aussies-well they r not the only ones reading and enjoying NQN and passing it around the globe . i sent this post to Charleen Liverpool in Anguilla Caribbean, she is food crazy-excellent food i might add.
SO m’dear thanks a bunch for teaching we r learning and enjoying.it could be sweeter if a freebe or two can hop away overseas. we enjoy u.
be well.
Indy & The ninja hair clips, they are adorable and I am known as the cake queen by my friends so these clips would be perfect!!
Thanks NQN for always giving us the opportunity to win these great prizes each month
Lindt, please. I’m a dedicated chocoholic and I’m always looking for new and delicious chocolate.
wow,thanks for the chance to enter. I’d love to try the Arcon products. Great blog
I can’t go past a good relish and would love to try Atticus & Max! I sense a yummy sandwich in the making!
i’d relish the relish ( and i like to see good people do well)
Baileys ice cream, Baileys cheesecake, Baileys in tiramisu, Baileys buttercream on cupcakes, hang on, I need to put Baileys in a macaron……..
Hi there,
I would really love to try the Arcon shampoo & conditioner. I have such thin hair! I’m getting married in a three months time and would love to try anything that would thicken up my hair.
Thanks
Hi NQN, I am muesli mad and would love the opportunity to mix the apple cinnamon and nut crunch Lowans – a bit of berry bliss probably wouldn’t go astray either! Thanks!
Wow – what a choice – how can I choose? Eenie, meenie, minie, mo – catch some Lowan, off I go!
I DO love my Bailey’s. My sister introduced it to me years ago when she made a Bailey’s Irish Cream Cheesecake. It was to die for.
I Love the Indy & the Ninja hair clips! Im about to start my very first business, a cupcakery, and the hair clips would be a must have accessory to wear to the shop.
hello NQN, what a motherload of goodies you have there. The lindt chocolate caught my eye because i have had a nasty, nasty flu for weeks now and the only thing i can truly taste is chocolate! Really! So that is why i’d like the Lindt, please. Otherwise i’ll become malourished……;)
Lindt. So good. I love it. Please may I?
I would definitely love to try the Lindt Essence chocolate. Im not the hugest fan of chocolate, but I can never say no to Lindt chocolate. It’s the only chocolate I eat, and whenever I see a new flavour, I have to try it, and these look delish!!!
I would love the Baileys, a Bailey’s cupcake has inspired me!
Hi Not quite Nigella!
Even though i’ve skulked around for ages, secretly reading your blog and checking for post updates during lectures and work, I’ve never actually left a message. So just wanted to say, I love your blog. it keeps me going, especially since uni’s just started where everything is different and scary and lonely and sometimes I just want to curl up and stay at home (especially when just starting a degree which I already dread).
Anyway, you are so generous with your competitions, and I’d love to try my hand at winning the scrumptious lindt chocolate! Why? Well, I have always loved chocolate, and I assure you, that I would treat them with the utmost respect that Lindt chocolate deserves. Rest assured they will be well looked after, savoured slowly and often talked to before going to sleep at night. So as a chocolate lover, appreciater, and connousiuer, you would be doing the Lindt Chocolate a disservice by sending it to anyone else
Anyone of those prizes would be great. However, I’m drawn to the gorgeous hair clips.
Wow!! What a fantastic lot of goodies for March!!
Those Lindt chocolates are great – my sister gave me a pack of them (for no reason…hmmm…what is she up to?!? LOL)..so I won’t ask to be in the draw for those.
BUT…I would LOVE to be added to the drawing for the bottle of Baileys!! I have never owned a bottle of liqueur – sorta sad, really…but I guess at 24, that’s not out of the ordinary, right?
So…yes, please Lorraine – add my name to the list of people drooling over the Baileys!
Thanks!
OK being a chocaholic I would probably go for the Lindt but as I have given it up for Lent in a moment of insanity – not really in support of my 9yo son that did the same!! I will opt for the hair clips for my gorgeous 4 1/2 year old niece who like her aunt loves to bake cupcakes!!!
I don’t think I could go past baileys or lindt do you? My favourite brand of liquer and chocolate !
I love a Baileys and milk on a cold night – and I can see myself perched with lindt (and baileys!) on the couch with a blanket in the cold throws of winter with a baileys and the puter catching up on my fave blogs (and maybe throwing in a slightly tipsy one in myself
)
This looks like Christmas!!! I would love one of those Indy & the Ninja clips – they are so cute I’d have to carry around a mirror to look at them all day, they’d definitly brighten my cakeless March up! (Cakeless due to the same as you – clothes slightly tight!)
hi there!
well i will admit im one of those rare few who dont like baileys… however my mum loves it so i would really like to win a bottle to give to her as a little gift..!
thanks =)
I loooove tomato relish. Even with cheese & biscuits. We have friends who on occasion will give us a jar of there home-made. It is really hard to find a good one! On another note, not such a unique recipe, however surprising that many do not know that to have a drop of Baily’s in your coffee is yummo (better than cream/milk)
i want those bunsssss lol
Ooo! Lowan muesli please! Half toasted, half untoasted may finally end the battle between my partner and I as to which type to buy!
I would love to try the Lowan muesli as I am always on the lookout for that perfect muesli blend.
oooh, I’d love to win the Bailey’s – it helps in making a delicious bread pudding, just in time for cooler nights!
Mmm yum. I’d love to try the muesli!!! So many goodies to sample!
I would love a bottle of Baileys to warm my tummy and my heart in the autumn days coming up. Thanks!
Hehe I still write 2009 as well and think that I’m 25!
I love your blog, I look forward to it every morning before work starts, and drool over the photos…
I would love to try the Arcon hair products. After studying for exams last year, lots of hair decided to fall out! I have tried various products without much effect, so I am hoping that Arcon will do the trick? Thank heaps!
Your fabulous giveaways always make me wish I lived in Australia, Lorraine!
Those hair clips are so cute!
Hmmm lots of lovely goodies, thanks NQN,but as I had a bad experience with Bailey’s once and the Lindt is out because I am trying to be good, the Lowans museli is my choice especially as I have just discovered bircher museli and these varieties sound yummy as a bircher
Trumps all the way – who can resist Lindt chocolate. Yes, I would like a head start on the Easter Bunny ! So bring on the Lindt.
Maria
Indy and the Ninja
Could save my life
With three beautiful daughters
I am in strife
We are the hairiest bunch
With ‘locks down to our bums!
We’d love the hair clips
And nothing for our tums
xx
My very favourite-est muesli ever was a Lowan’s citrus flavour…like most things I love, it was discontinued after 12 months. I’d love to try their new offerings, to see if they come up to the same deliciousness!
Easter buns! I can’t get enough of them! If only they made these all year round.
so kind to give away so many goodies
.
Would love the Arcon products since my hair been falling beyond measures. Sadly a bald patch might form sooon
I am about to launch into the duck egg sponge. I have a dozen duck eggs and more coming daily. I use them for baking, but….so many duck eggs not enough time…..
Katina
Wow!! You have been a very lucky recipient!
I would LURVE the Lindt pack – with my Mum’s 50th and Dad’s 60th this year I need to perfect the perfect birthday cakes for both of them – and they are both chocolate fiends. So nothing short than Lindt will do
hi, I look forward to your daily updates on my inbox..today’s was extra special..would so love to the arcon products.i’ve been losing so much hair and don’t quite know what to try next…
LINDT!!!!
I’m afraid that I’m a massive Lindt fiend and, well, with Easter fast approaching how could I go past the chocolate?
Next to Bacardi and Brown Brothers Moscato, my next favourite is Baileys. I love the Baileys frappe they had at (the now closed) Zowa restaurant in World Square. I’m sure making lots of frappes would be a good use of my bottle of Baileys if I were to win this awesome prize =)
The Atticus and Max Tomato relish sounds delish and I’m always on the look out for new condiments to compliment my culinary efforts. Thank-you for allowing me to enter this competition.
Baileys, ooh I love that. Of course, I’d try everything, but Baileys would go down really well right now haha.
My ham sandwich is in need of some Atticus & Max Tomato Relish. Great name….sounds…..delicious??!
Hi Lorraine,
I am having a “Bad Hair Life” and would love to try the hair products. I must admit I try all new hair products in search of thick locks…..still looking.
I would love to try the lowans. I love museli and those flvours sound fantstic! I think I could even think of some sort of recipe to put them on. apple and cinnamon go together soooo well, maybe it would make some nice muffins. Sounds like a right treat to me!
I’d have to go for the Bailey’s as it’s the item I’m least likely to buy myself.. what a treat!
Oh I would love to win the Lindt chocolate!
WHY? Well besides the obvious answer that they ARE When we were in Switzerland last year we found these chocolate bars that we’ve never seen before, they are the orange filled bars (there are other flavours as well
Oh I would love to win the Lindt chocolate!
WHY? Well besides the obvious answer that they ARE Lindt.. The combination of caramel and chocolate is too hard to resist!
Dear Lorraine,
If possible would love to try the relish. Have just made my own batch which won’t be ready for 3-4 weeks. Always keen to see what other relishes/ chutneys taste like so I can improve my homemade version.
Thanks B
I’d love to win the Baker’s Delight voucher so I can stock up on hot cross buns!
I’d love a jar of Atticus and Max tomato relish to add to my condiment shelf in the fridge! I’d lather it on fresh white bread with beautiful aged cheddar cheese to make a yummy sandwich!
i would totally LOVE to try the Arcon hair products! I have a lot of thin hair and DREAM of having thick lustrous hair but havnt been able to achieve this with any “volumising” products thus far.
I’d love to try the Atticus and Max tomato relish….I love tomato relish and I”ve been craving to try some!
I’d love the Bakers Delight (a staple for us at Easter) or the Max and Atticus prize…
mmm… I wonder how the two would taste together?
It’s so great that you have such wonderful contacts with the retailers and sharing them at your blog
Lowan cereal! love museli
Hi Miss Nigella
Your posts continuously make my mouth water. My man notes not a day goes by when I dont log on and check to see where we should go for dinner next. I want to…slowly… eat our way around sydney!!
I would love to try the Lowans Muesli. Im obsessed with muesli, making different combos every morning, topped with youghurt, blueberries, nuts and seeds, cinnamon, poached pears and my current fav, mango. Its endless! So these would be perfect for those mornings I need to rush out the door and just dont have time for my experimenting!
Mmm Baileys, I’d love to try out some new cocktail recipes I have!
Hi, Lorraine.
I hail from Queensland and would love to try the Lindt Essence Chocolate. I’m a fan of San Francisco-based Scharffen Berger chocolate, but my partner says Lindt is to die for, so I’d like to try dying for them please.
How to choose! I adore Lindt chocolate and for a real treat would have to pick that!
Did you say thick, luscious hair? I already have thick hair, praise the Lord! Hahaha! I just need a few more months for it to grow out more!
To market to market to buy a fat pig!
If I won some Baileys I’d do a fast jig!!!
Sooo hard to choose. But if I had to choose, I think I’d go the tomato relish. I lvoe a really good relish.
My girls can’t get enough of Baker’s delight…their hot cross buns are delish! I love the mocha ones myself…
So many choices as usual Lorraine
I’m going to say i’d love to win the bakers delight voucher – I just can’t get enough hot cross buns at the moment
They all look great but I’d love the Baker’s Delight voucher. I remember their mocha hot cross buns from last year and they were to die for!
Hi Lorraine
I would LOVE the Baileys! My irish genes are longing for a wee drop of irish cream. I want to sit back and drink my Baileys while going through the drama of renewing my ‘about to expire’ Irish passport!!!
Ohhhh! Yummy! I have to be greedy and say both the baileys and the lindt! I am keen to make some delectable gelato and it needs the baileys liquer flavour, but I like my ice cream chunky so definitely needs the lindt too! the indivdual packets of lindt are so clever. Not that the portion control always works, but at the very least I have the guilty evidence to know exactly how many extra hours I have to spend at the gym
I’d like to try the Lowan Cereal, please. I’m constantly mixing toasted & raw muesli plus extra nuts~ Thanks for thinking kind thoughts in relation to your readers~~~
Ohmeegosh I am totally smitten with the pink & red hairclips with cakes on them by Indy & the Ninja. Girly, quirky, cake-y & pink, it’s like they peeked into my world
Lowan Cereal!! Im always up for a healthy breakfast…and I always have a weak spot for muesli! =] I would love to try this and maybe add something new to my breakfast creations!!!
Definately the Baileys!
Huge fan of baileys
Anytime and Anywhere!!
Have tried so many dessert creations with this and it never fails me! Its just perfect!!
Hi Nigella, love the site
I’d like the Baker’s Delight vouchers, because I’ve been fantasising about the choc chip and mocha varieties without ever having tried them. I need an inducement to get some!
Hi Lorraine
I would love to have the hair clip for the first choice, and Bailey for second choice
. Thx
I would love to try the atticus and max relish. I LOVE relish and have been searching for one I can buy that is as good as my grandmother’s recipe. No time to make my own these days. Thank you!
Hi Lorraine, I’d love to be entered in the givaway for the hot cross buns, the Baileys or the Lindt.
Thanks!
My hair is terrible, dry and no style. I would love the Arcon pack.
*swoons* I so NEED those Indy and the Ninja hairclips! It would totally match my apron at the farmers’ market! And mmmm, bailey’s..now we’re talking Lorraine!
Hey NQN so much prizes to choose from! your blog gets more awesome each day… ^^ id love to get the lindt chocolates, my favourite chocolates of all times…
good times with lindt chocolate, my pillow and some awesome dramas…^^
keep up the awesome work!
I love Lindt crunchy caramel chocolate and now 8 monthS pregnant have thrown caution to the wind and decided to enjoy eating what will be off limits after baby (if ever I’m to return to normal!) so please let me savour some lindt chockies in my last days of self imposed eating freedom!
EverRAzanover tried baileys in a shoe? – that’s old Greg from the Mighty Boosh :p
I’ve just found a recipe for Baileys creme brûlée.. Free baileys would make it taste just that much sweeter
i would love the lindt chocolate! thanks lorraine for sharing the goodies with everyone
I would like the Baileys! To make cakes and muffins with.
Wow! 82nd post! I hope you read me.
I would want a Bailey’s for my birthday, which is on the 15th of March. Although I’m turning 20, I’ve never tried Bailey’s but I recently read a recipe for tiramisu that calls for Bailey’s as its ingredient and would definitely love to try making it. So, hopefully a Bailey’s for a girl that’s turning 20? 
Hi from soggy qld NQN I would love to try the relish to see if it’s as good as Red Dog Relish my fav
i’d love to try the lowan cereals because i love eating muesli for breakfast and even as a late night snack
Bailey’s. Having no Celtic ancestry, it’s the only way I’ll get some Irish in my blood!
Nice giveaway! But I live in the US!
Although I am one of the lovelies that live overseas… I can still comment on the great product giveaway. Awesome.
Lorraine I’d love to win the Arcon products to see if they can help me battle against what I’ve put my poor hair through over the years – years of bleaching and colouring with erm.. interesting colours, then 5 years of dreadlocks, then literally ripping out the dreads to have short, thin hair that finally grew longer, and now having actual hairdressers colour it regularly for me! (ooh I’m a grown up now)
Why didn’t I appreciate my beautifully thick hair when I had it? Oh the foolishness of youth
Ohhhhh I can NEVER go past Baileys – it’s possibly my favourite drink in the world, and I would drink it every week if it wouldn’t make me fat! So my pick is the Baileys please!
Lowan muesli pack thankyou
The Acron hair products would be nice.
Oooo! Havn’t tried those other Lindt flavours yet! I’d love to be able to try them =)
So many lovely goodies on offer. After reading the description about the Lindt chocolates that is what I am putting my hand up for….after I have wiped all the drool off my keyboard.
Hi NQN! Great giveaways. (:
I would love to try the Arcon hair products. My hair is looking limp and sad at the moment, and the idea of thick, luscious hair sounds like a dream to me!
Oh Lorraine, you spoil us yet again!
Week 7 of my gym course has me saying Nay to Lindt, Baileys and other food prizes but I would love to win the Arcon Tisane hair products for my daughters who GDH their hair to smithereens. They both used to have such healthy, rich and shiny hair before Fashion reared it’s ugly head.LOL Yes, definitely, the Arcon hair pack to revive their tresses!
Hi THERE …… GREAT TO SEE NEW PRODUCTS …… OUR HOUSE IS ON A SERIOUS HEALTH KICK SO IT WOULD HAVE TO BE THE CEREAL THAT GETS OUR VOTE
Hi Lorraine,
Gosh it’s been a day mixed with emotions with the unexpected thunder and hail storms in Melbourne! The hailstones are like the size of mini cricket balls (I’m not joking) and they are all over my backyard as I’m writing this.
A bottle of Baileys would really help ease the chill of Melbourne’s unpredictable weather and thank goodness for NQN, for bringing me warmth and food for comfort as I stay inside my house while the outside is severely ravaged by the perfect storm. The good thing is I now have loads of free ice cubes awaiting the arrival of my Baileys
Cheers,
Bree
Lorraine, Loraine, Loraine … thanks for the opportunity to receive these delightful treats! I’d love to get the Lindt Essence chocolates because I’ve been pretty good with sweets recently but these look like a treat for being good.
Goodluck everyone!
the bakers delight voucher would be great thanks. I’m unfortunately gluten free and so never ever look at this banned shop and my family never gets any of these guilty pleasures. I need an excuse to shop there and a freebie would legitamise this!
The Lowan pack would be wonderful…heading into a Tassie winter any brekkie that can be eaten warm is a hit!
I would love a set of Indy & The Ninja clips. I am soon to be aunt of I’m sure a gorgeous girl…first in the family and as I am a dedicated foodie and not so girlie, these would be a fabulous compromise!
I would love to try the Lowan Muesli as I am a muesli addict…I eat it every morning for brekky without fail!
pick just one?
One?
I could be all benevolent and say the hair clips because my Damn Emo would adore them but I am greedy and want me some Bakers Delight hot cross buns.
I have yet to partake, trying to be strong but every time I walk past the store and smell them I slip over in a puddle of my own drool.
Forgot to ask you Lorraine if you have the Bailey’s cupcake recipe as my daughter Gabriella loves baking different types of cupcakes for her family, BF and friends.
Oh dear I just sat down to read my email to distract myself from rather large chocolate craving! I’d love the Lindt!
i’d like the bakers delight voucher. its been ages since i’ve tried anything from there…
i’d love to try the lowan cereals please. the flavours sound delish!
My sister makes some really yummy muesli cookies. I’ll have to tell her about this brand!
So many goodies to choose from! It has to be the Baileys though – I’m now able to enjoy a little tipple every now and then, after having my bubba. Baileys sounds perfect as the evenings are getting cooler. Thanks!
The lowan muesli because I eat muesli basically everyday of my life and like a blend of toasted and natural, which means I am forever buying 2 bags and mixing it myself – Lowan has the perfect solution for me
Hark the call of another fine haired femme. I am always on the hunt for Shampoo and supplements that will indeed give me thick and luscious hair. I am yet to find one that either doesn’t eventually make my hair an oil slick or dry it out to the point of snapping. I would love the chance to try the Arcon shampoo, conditioner, hair supplements package.
Hi NQN – I love lindt easter bunnies that are appearing in supermarkets and would love to try the Lindt Essence chocolates… even though I promised myself I would try to eat less chocolate in the lead up to Easter!
I can’t really say that i eat much relish, however would like to change that with that sample jar of Atticus & Max Tomato Relish…if any left.
thanks !
Oh my goodness! This must be the most fun part of your job… I would love to be sent samples all day (although I used to work for a fruit and nut company that got sent cacao nibs that we had to try… NOT VERY NICE! Like chewing on charcoal…)
I would love to try the Lowans Muesli – untoasted is the way to go!
Thanks NGN
Quick, please i need the Lindt! I went to the Lindt cafe to get some gorgeous hot chocolate and they had run out!!! Badly in need of a chocolate fix asap!
Always chocolate! Definitely need to try that smooth, creamy lindt. One needs to develop their palate…right? right?
When you say that you scoffed greedily on Baileys Cupcake, I said to myself, wait… Baileys Cupcake? Then research on Google got me into lots of Bailey cupcake recipe, mostly from USA, some with ganache fillings. I would like to make the one without ganache filling & found one using 1 cup of Baileys for strong flavour (A Cup!!!).
Baileys mixed with milk is the alcoholic drink which I prefer to drank after food rather than wine (I always reject wine and choose water instead if no Baileys on menu). Why can’t we make Baileys as an official drink to accompany meals rather than wine?
I would like to try Arcon too. My aunt called my hair is like a corn hair >.<
My hair is very fine and thin. I have tried many perms type but it ended up as nightmares.
I had to dyed my hair to Black colour to make it not look so thin as the original colour is black brown colour (dye do make hair look a bit thicker).
Let me know if Arcon does make your hair thicker and grow more, will you?
Would love to try the Lowan Muesli!!!
I already eat their other varieties, so would be keen to try something new!
I’d love the Baileys thanks
One thing I absolutelly got hooked on this summer is good quality coffee flavoured ice cream and half a shot of Baileys poured on top of two scoops. Beats having to buy two flavours of ice cream when serving to guests. It tastes fantastic!
The arcon hair healing shampoos would be great. Not for me though, but for my bf. With the amount of mousse products he’s used for the past 15 years, his hair is falling out. this product would be great to try and restore a potential balding man
No contest here, I’d love to try the Lindt – I am a chocoholic, and chocolate is my go to food in times of crisis (and peace!).
Oh Lorraine! More goodies! I think the Indy & the Ninja are an adorable way to proudly wear the “foodie” badge of honour! Samantha’s creations are sure the come in handy to keep my fringe off my face when I cook or eat!
You have such fabulous giveaways, NQN! You can imagine our excitement at being able to get our hot little hands on some of these goodies…
Speaking of which, the Indy & the Ninja hairclips would be ideal for the budding foodie fashionista (ie. me). I’d wear them to a grower’s market with pink galoshes while carrying a wicker basket.
Hi Not quite nigella,
Love your blog….. your recipe archives are the best. I love looking at your new recipes that you’ve tried and the pro’s and con’s about when you made them.
I would like to try the relish, like you I’m always on the look out for a good one. I love them on the traditional hamburgers but then like to try them on toasties, in savouries even on just plain crusty bread.
Like you, I am not a great fan of untoasted muesli, but am willing to give the idea of a mix like this the go. I love toasted but don’t eat it as much as I want because what’s available is a bit limited. So, the LOWANS products sounds like a great alternative.
I love both untoasted and toasted muesli, I make my own toasted, but always buy my untoasted, and am always ont he lookout for new varieties, I would love to try the Lowan!
hi… i would love to have the chocolates… hmmm yummt~
WOW NQN you have outdone yourself- Although I would love to win the Lindt or the Baileys I couldn’t choose which of these I prefer more anyway The choice I am making is the Indy & the Ninja -kanashi for cuties- for my two eldest grandaughters aged 2 1/2 and 18 months they could have one each – thanks for the chance to win some amazing stuff again. Love your blog
I’d love to try the Arcon pack out. I’ve never heard of it before but it sounds great! I tend to torture my hair a lot with dyeing it fairly regularly so I try to use good hair products wherever possible.
ooooohhhh you always find the absolute BEST!!!! prizes.
I would love to win the Bailey’s please. I have been experimenting with alcoholic rocky road lately & would love to try some with Bailey’s in it. (I will pass on the recipe if it works)
On the other hand my daughter would loveeeeeeeee the hair clips.
Although my saliva glands are screaming ‘Go the Baileys’ or ‘Yay the Lindt’, my hips are definitely in argument mode and reminding my taste buds that Lowan’s toasted muesli (ok, I’ll even accept the untoasted part!!!) combined with yoghurt makes THE best breakfast and actually ticks healthy boxes at the same time!
id love to try the lowan cereals pleeeeaaassseee.
would love the bakers delight vouchers! i wonder if the buns come in different flavours…
I would love to try the muesli. I am assuming it is wheat-free given that Lowan makes a range of wheat-free products. I can’t eat wheat so am always looking for a new muesli to try.
Thanks
Would LOVE to win the muesli – I’m addicted!
hehe fantastic – I am torn between Baileys and the Lindt… although I may have to go for the Baileys. I have been dying to make baileys cupcakes but cant justify buying the whole bottle (because I will drink it…)
Hi Lorraine, thanks for the offers. If I’m not too late I would like to ‘place my bid’ for the Lindt chocolates. We have our Mad Hatters (kitchen) Tea Party (mentioned previously) happening soon and this would be the ideal gift for us to share with our guests.
Boy those Bailey’s cupcake sound very tempting – did a recipe accompany your treat?
Hello – my housemates and I would love to buy some hot cross buns from Bakers Delight
Hi everyone! As a few people have asked, here is the recipe that was given to me along with the Baileys for the Bailey’s Mother’s Day cupcake:
Baileys Mother’s Day Cupcakes
Ingredients
(Makes approximately 12 portions. Baking is likely to cause alcohol to evaporate but each serving may contain up to 1.7 grams of alcohol, or 0.17 standard drinks)
Cupcakes
* 2 eggs (M)
* 100g sugar
* 1 packet of vanilla sugar
* 12 tbsp sunflower oil
* 150ml Baileys Irish Cream
* 150g flour
* 1½ teaspoons baking powder
* 40g dried cranberries (or currants)
* 40g chocolate pieces
* 12 paper cups
Icing
* 125g powdered sugar (sifted)
* 4 – 5 tbsp Baileys Irish Cream
* Lilac sugar sprinkles
Preparation
1. Stir sugar and vanilla sugar into the eggs until frothy. Gradually stir in sunflower oil and Baileys. Mix flour and baking powder and briskly stir into the sugar mixture. Select the cranberries and chocolate pieces you’re going to use.
2. Set paper cups into the wells of a muffin pan. Place dough in each case. Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C (Gas mark: 3 – 4/ fan oven: 180°C) for about 20 minutes. Leave to cool.
3. Stir powdered sugar into Baileys forming a firm mixture, cover the muffins with this icing and add sugar swirls.
Thanks Lorraine! I was just checking back today to see if you had psoted the recipe for the cupcakes! Now I just need to win the Baileys and I can bake away
A tomato fan all the way, I’d love to try the Atticus & Max Tomato Relish… Yum!
Thanks!
Who could possibly resist Lindt??? YUMMO. Pick me Pick me!
I would love to try the Arcon hair products as I have very fine blonde hair. I long for lush, thick tresses! I use so much thickening mousse to get extra volume but it still doesn’t give me great results. The Arcon products would be ideal!
The Bakers Delight Hot Cross Buns sound delicious, I’d love to try those please.
Baileys – Tragically, I think I’m the only 36 year old woman on the face of this earth to never had the pleasure, and I hear it really is a pleasure, like liquid velvet.
Lindt, so I can see if it equals or betters Cadbury (the chocolate that I have coursing through my veins!!).
ARCON. My hair is long, but not as luscious & thick as I would like. I envy all my gal pal’s lusty thick locks & would give my left arm for the same.
wow everything looks so delectable!
but i’d hafta say after hearing you mention a bailey’s cupcake I’m tempted. plus i tend to use a little in making tiramisu ^^
Arcon, my hair is in need of some Arcon goodness because I attempted to get it permed..twice in two days. My hair wouldnt perm and its left me with dry wirey brown hair instead!
Baileys, it’s been years since I have had Baileys! mmm… I feel like some now, now that I have seen it, yum!
I like to start my day
in a yummy and healthy way.
So some Lowan I’d love to try,
and perhaps, then I’ll buy.
Advancing years does sad things to a girl’s hair.
When it’s fine to start with, there’s now nothing much there…
ARCON goodies to the rescue will save my despair!!!
i’d like to try the lowan cereal please.
I would love the Baileys as it is nearly my birthday I could sit and enjoy it and tune out the the world around me.
oh wow.
i would totally love a bottle of baileys.
or actually, anything.
xx
The Arcon products look wonderful – just the thing for my hair at present. What luxury!
I would love to try the nut crunch for I am a crazy nut
I have searched high and low for a good nutty muesli but to no avail. Lowans…come through for me, please!
Oh, and an Atticus&Max Relish would be an added delight. I’ve had the experience and I’m seriously contemplating on becoming an addict!
Hi – this is Samantha from Indy & the Ninja! I’d love to dig into some of that dark chocolate Lindt – am sure the sugar boost would make me twice as productive with clip making!
Kate Roche – I’ve love to reprint your little poem on my blog!
The Lowan Cereal because I’m stuck in a Weetbix rut and have been that way my whole life. I get too overwhelmed by different varieties to branch out. Now is my time!
Hmmm, well I love everything “Baileys” and you mentioned ‘cupcakes’ double yum, I really would love to try and create these little gems with a bottle of baileys. (Maybe will have to slip in a drink or three).
could i please have the bakers delight prize? yumyum
My son has Coeliac Disease so we would love the Lowan products as they are gluten-free.
The Kanzashi for Cuties clips would be perfect for my little girl, she’s a s cute as a cupcake and her name is also Samantha!
Bakers Delight
Would be a welcome sight.
My beautiful wife has decided to make easter buns from scratch…..lets just sy shes good at rock cakes
Baileys would be great,
When we mae milkshakes witht he kids, hubby and I always slip a little Bailey’s into ours!
Hmmm I’d love the Lindnt Chocs as I thing the Easter Bunny has forgotten where I live.
The Indy the Ninja hair clips ould sure brighten up this boring Accountants day!
Mmmmmmmmmmm bakers delight, I can smell them now
I can’t resist Baileys, over ice or in a cocktail, deliciously creamy, and I’d love to try some recipes using Baileys, Yum.
‘Berry Bliss’ ful about Lowan..!
Hi Lorraine,
I would like to try the Lindt Essence Chocolate. Since changing my eating habits, I’ve cut down a lot on sugar. I love that these look like a luxurious indulgence and individually wrapped too!
Easter is just around the bend a Bakers Delight voucher I would love you to send. Easter Buns YUMMMM…. Have a lovely Easter Lorraine and readers.
wow lots of lovely goodies , I would love the Baileys for my hubby,s and my 38th wedding anniversary , so we could have our own little party
thank you
love the lowan
i’d lie the bakers delight please – just saw their commercial today, y.u.m
Oooh I’d love to try the Lindt Essence Chocolate. Looks delicious!
With Lowan Muesli, it would be a case of “waist not, want not”!
Lorraine, your giveaways just keep getting better. I think it’d be exciting to be the bearer of such wonderful giveaways.
I don’t have anything particularly compelling to say about why I deserve one product or the other..
My family hasn’t ever had alcohol in the house, so I’d love to try Bailey’s, but I’d probably have to hide it in my room in a brown bag (and that’s never a good look, really).
So, I’d love to win the Bakers Delight voucher – I love hot cross buns (even though they appear in early February), but found an actual twig in one from the supermarket last year. Bakers Delight will restore my faith! Plus, food bought with a gift voucher has no calories, right?
Ooooh just love Baileys … over ice chink chink
The Kanzashi for Cuties hairclips are adorable! I’m a big fan of food-related jewellery and accessories and anything with a cake on it is bound to be a hit with me. They would look awesome as brooches too, I’d be very happy to wear them pinned to a cardy.
I am a Baileys fan. Love to have a Glass of Baileys with ice.
