You would think telling people they have won a competition would be easy …. but not this one ! Firstly, we drew the winner, and that winner was Kim. Then we said “Kim, you’ve won a fantastic New Years Eve package for you and three friends at the Malton Hotel in Killarney !”
At which point Kim replied “Really?, no way!”
To which we replied “yup – it’s pretty much all free.”
“Thats brilliant …. so the room is free ?”
“Yes Kim”
“What about the champagne reception?”
“Yes, Kim, that’s also included.”
“What about the Gala Banquet?”
“Of course.”
“And the ball?”
“Naturally.”
“And do my three guests get this as well ?”
“Yup”
“So what do we do next?”
“I suppose you just go along and have the best New Year ever !”
A massive SavvyShopper thanks to all at the Malton Hotel in Killarney for putting up such a fantastic prize. If you didn’t win but would still like to go, or haven’t made plans to see in the new year, packages are still available from €175.

In short, sometime last week, three bottles of seriously sexy ABSOLUT ROCK EDITION came to us and being the generous people we are, we thought we’d pass them on. Simple, except for one minor detail – it’s hard to let them go.
The first thing I noticed was that I started staring at these bottles for no reason, and from then on it got worse and last Sunday, without realising, I think I called one these bottles …. my Precious.
So for the winners – Vanessa, Helen and Grainne, some advice – destroy the ABSOLUT ROCK EDITION, before it destroys you.
Thanks to all who entered our Restaurant@Brown Thomas competition. I am pleased to say the winner is now out of the hat and that winner is Nuala , who gets a meal for her and a guest with all the trimmings.
In the event you didn’t win and you need to up the festive stakes a bit I can highly recommend popping in for some mince pies and mulled wine !
A big thanks to all who entered and a big thanks to all at the Restaurant@Brown Thomas for providing the prizes.
The Savvy Shopper is on twitter and facebook and although it goes without saying that we’re probably not as good as your real life friends we think we might be a close substitute …. click here to add us to facebook …. and here for twitter …. PS – we promise not to spam you !
Like a bolt from the blue it arrived ….. no ….. not Santa, but the release of next summers tickets for Electric Picnic. The line-up is yet to be announced but I’m thinking of putting a fiver on Jedward being on the main stage at EP 2010 !
If you’ve got the money and can book online early not only do you get tickets without the scramble but you’ll also get them at a discounted rate. We’ll try and get you some freebie’s for soap as soon as we can !

The best job at Savvy Towers is drawing the winners for our competitions. With the help of not very state of the art technology ( an old trilby ) I can now reveal that the winner of the Buff Day Spa competition is Aleoga.
She and a friend of her choosing will receive a Sun FX full body tan, a mini manicure and a mini pedicure courtesy of the folks at the Buff Day Spa in Dublin – and all in time for christmas.
Whilst it’s always sad to see one competition end we can all console ourselves with the fact that another competition will be on its way very soon. Well done Aleoga – we hope you enjoy your prize.
A big thanks to the Buff Day Spa from all at TSS.
