THERE IS SUCH A THING AS A FREE LUNCH

Sunnybonani! Well, actually it's not so sunny today which is the perfect weather for indoor dining. Simply Asia meal giveaway is about giving away a free lunch to a deserving person.  For some research that I'm doing, I'm reading You and Drum magazine and the letters people send are to praise others are so heartfelt they actually inspired me to do the same. I'm sure people would rather get money or a holiday but there's also something really kind about giving someone you appreciate a free lunch/dinner or taking them out. 

So here we go.  Between today and Monday I'm giving away 3 double vouchers to the value of R200 each to try out Simply Asia's new menu.  Who would you nominate for a free lunch? Who has been really generous to others with their time, skills, efforts and kindness? Someone you just wanna say thanks to. You know how much I like a story so if there's one to tell holler.  

You can simply fill in your answer in the comments section then tweet me @missmillib with the hashtag #sweetdeal. Oh, guess who also finally started a Facebook page? So if you wanna rather hit me up there, you're welcome.

TANQUERAY ROCKS

Ah man, pictures really don't do this momentous surprise any justice.  There I was, minding my own business when a knock on my door ended up being the best surprise ever.  I don't know how they know me but the people at Tanqueray Gin South Africa, put together a seriously thoughtful Valentines Day gift pack for me and I am really grateful. I have to share it because, I mean really:

First of all, that bottle green is one of my favourite colours the box is wooden and I have already found a use for it. 

They made a little booklet that was printed with various blog post images and quotes that they used to figure out the the things that I like.  So for instance:

BOOM! Gift vouchers to The Space, a Kerry Washington movie DVD and not one but two Erykah Badu CD's (you can't see the other one here :-) which are in my car.

This is my absolute favourite thing - it's a giant poster that I'm taking to the framers TODAY! 

Quotes by the old man, what better way to ground ones self?

So not only these, they got me a super cute clutch bag, a burned orange Le Creuset tea set which I have already used 3 times and forced guests to drink tea from, a Le Creuset butter cup, heart shaped lollies from Woolies and of course a delicious bottle of what was already my favourite gin in the world, we are getting Tanked this weekend. Thank you so much for this you guys, I get a lot of these kinds of things all the time and this one certainly tops the ''best of'' list. 

I'm sorry for the bad quality pictures. I took these with my iPhone, which is obviously over life or something.
