January Blues? Let Me Brighten Your Month with a £10 Amazon Gift Card! Ends 21/02/25

Ah, January… the month that feels like a year. After the festive cheer of December, many of us are left counting pennies as we recover from holiday spending. It’s no wonder January often gets labelled as the toughest financial month of the year.

Whether you’ve overspent on gifts, splurged on holiday food, or simply underestimated those New Year’s Eve plans, January’s budget can feel tighter than your favourite pair of jeans post-holidays. Add in the longer wait for payday, and it’s easy to see why so many people start the year feeling broke.

But don’t worry—I’ve got your back! To spread a little joy and ease the January blues, I’m giving away a £10 Amazon gift card. Whether you want to treat yourself to something small, stock up on essentials, or put it toward something bigger, this is my way of saying thank you for being part of my community and helping you start the year on a brighter note.

Entering is simple! Entry is via Gleam so just enter your name, and leave a comment on my blog with what you will buy with your Amazon voucher.

Why Am I Doing This?





I know how challenging this month can be. Sometimes, even a small gesture can make a big difference. Whether it’s grabbing a new book, a cosy scarf, or some much-needed household items, I hope this gift card brings a little joy and relief to someone’s January. 

So, go ahead and enter—you deserve to win! Just like my winner of December's competition Priscilla. And remember, brighter days (and paydays!) are just around the corner.

Good luck, and here’s to making January a little less gloomy
