I’m not ashamed to admit that I’m a fan of the Fifty Shades series. I devoured all the books, not because they were particularly naughty, nor did I learn anything new (shocker). I enjoyed the intense romance part of it, and of course the Christian Grey character. It was escapism, who wouldn’t want to escape into a world where you’re young, beautiful, have your career at your feet and a rich handsome stranger who’s besotted with you and awakens your sensuality. Throw in some troubled past and an evil ex and you’re on to a winner. I’ve seen the first film which was good, but not as good as the books in my opinion. I’m looking forward to watching the second film Fifty Shades Darker. I don’t get to the cinema much anymore – or anywhere for that matter, with 3 kids and low energy I don’t get out much in the evenings. I’m pleased to be able to offer my fellow fifty shades fans a great bundle to give away.
To celebrate the latest Fifty Shades release my competition hosts bingo.paddypower.com are offering a luxury gift set. The kit includes:
Fifty Shades of Grey Party Game
Fifty Shades Darker Soundtrack to the movie release
A set of luxury Yankee candles
Lindor Strawberry chocolates

Everything you need for a fun and hopefully naughty night in with your loved one, or a gift for a friend. Maybe just enjoy the chocolates, music and candles?

August 6, 2017 at 8:49 pmSince we became parents, my husband I find going out an impossible task so, we created a little event, a date night that we do once a month. Well, it’s my husband’s idea really and he does everything, bless him :)!
