It’s Christmas party season and there’s no party like a Debenhams Christmas Jumper party! Believe me when I say this, the Debenhams flagship store team really know how to throw a party, especially when there’s bloggers involved! Last week I and my fellow plus size blogger friend Katie were invited to party with Debenhams and celebrate all things festive. Of course when they told me they had a jumper and mulled wine waiting for me, plus all sorts of festive treats, I was first at the door.
Greeted by a huge snowman, the entire room was decorated to an epic degree. Not only were there brie and cranberry canapés, chocolate Santa’s and hidden candy canes but they had made a life size Christmas Jumper Sleigh! The mannequins were showing off the gorgeous array of festive knitwear (obviously my sequinned robin sweater from The Collection at Debenhams was the best… but I did love the H! by Henry Holland polar bear jumper, and the Quiz reindeer print jumper… and the… ok maybe they were all pretty awesome!). There was a huge jar of jelly sweets where we had to do the traditional guess how many in the jar game. Katie and I thought we would use skill over luck and work out the weight of the jar and see if we could divide that by the sweets we could see. We thought it was great. But it was a FAIL. We were out by 7! Close call but obviously we didnt take it too seriously (maybe just a little!)
We were seriously spoilt with a blogger raffle where we all took something away (even after the 3rd number!) We were also given an individual #foundit gift bags that came straight from the Debenhams Elves I’m sure. Not only did it keep my jumper safe but the bags were filled with goodies from chocolate to Phase Eight jewellery and a perfect little Christmas stocking which I’m going to pop next to my tree this year. I have to say it was lovely meeting the other Debenhams bloggers, some who I already knew and it was lovely getting in the festive spirit with them, and new faces who looked gorgeous in their Debenhams Christmas jumpers.
A huge thank you to the Debenhams team that arranged the blogger party. I had a great time, gingerbread latte in hand keeping my self-snug in my new knit wear. I well and truly have the Christmas feeling ready to go.
