Bloomex Ugly Christmas Sweater Contest

Every year at around this time, we go to the closets or the stores, surf the online retail options, or perhaps visit an elderly aunt to start rooting around for the ultimate Yuletide must-have: the Ugly Christmas Sweater. 

The Ugly Christmas Sweater may be an assault on the eyeballs, but the popularity of these items has increased every year (an Ugly Christmas Sweater even figured in the romance of Mark Darcy and Bridget Jones in the hit movie). 

These knitted wonders provide us with some great laughs and are a way to flaunt both your bravery and your creativity. If you can come up with a truly heinous Christmas Sweater you are the envy of all your friends.

Win a $50 GIFT CARD for THANKSGIVING!

Thanksgiving is almost here in Canada!

Thanksgiving is a time to unwind and reconnect with those we care about. Many of us are fortunate enough to enjoy a turkey dinner in a warm home, and to take time to visit with family and friends this holiday.

Thanksgiving also provides us with a wonderful opportunity to reflect on the things we are thankful for.  This includes the people in our lives who matter most—the ones who boost our spirits, cheer us on, make us laugh, or help pick up the pieces when things go badly. We may also be thankful for good health, for a job we enjoy, a dream vacation, or any number of other blessings in our life. 

What are you thankful for? Send us a short note telling us. The top two entries will win a $50 Gift Card from Bloomex! Your story can make us laugh or make us cry, but so long as it moves us you can win! You can use your $50 Bloomex gift card toward ANYTHING YOU LIKE on the Bloomex site! Have your gift delivered to yourself or to someone else. 

HOW TO ENTER:

1) Write up your story – it can be as short as one paragraph, or as long as you like. If you have any pictures to attach to it, all the better! (but please, no more than 2MB in size per email.)

Bloomex COOLEST TEACHER CONTEST!

Calling all KIDS: Bloomex Ottawa wants to hear about your BEST TEACHER EVER!

It’s back to school time, and time to take a moment to think about the teachers who make such an impact on our lives! A great teacher can make all the difference-- let's give them some added recognition.

Who is the coolest, most fun, nicest teacher in Ottawa? Who makes you look forward to going to school each day? Maybe it’s a teacher who explains new things really clearly, or who loves a good joke. Maybe it’s a teacher who supports you when you are feeling down, or a teacher who goes the extra mile by running a fun club or coaching your sports team. 

If you live in Ottawa and area, and you think you have an awesome teacher, tell us! Write a short note nominating a teacher (could be from this school year or a past one) and tell us how they made your school year better. (Yes, parents can help! :))

Bloomex will select the top two entries. For each top entry, YOU will win this yummy Chocolate & Cookie Lover Gift Basket, and YOUR TEACHER will be presented with a gorgeous flower bouquet!

Contest starts today and closes Tuesday, September 30. 

SEND YOUR NOTE TO CONTEST@BLOOMEX.CA

Good luck to all the teachers and participants!
