*WIN* - 'European Landmark' Paper Weights - Closed
This Competition has now closed. Congratulations Sandra Worthington of Timaru.
You won't need a messy desk or papers blowing all around the place to want to get your hands on these gorgeous, vintage look paper weights.
We've got a set of two 'European Landmark' Paper Weights courtesy of our close personal buddies at Rembrant Fine Arts to give away to one very lucky person. Each glass dome paper weight measures approx. 8cm across and is finished with beautiful, vintage imagery of a European landmark.
To be in to win use the 'add new comment' function at the bottom of the page to tell us in 25 words or less 'where you'd most like to visit'. Personally I'd like to go down the rabbit hole and find Alice but that's just me.
Don't sweat it if you don't think you're funny or imaginative enough because the little essay is just the entry requirement (it is compulsory though) and the winner will be chosen by a random draw.
Competition closes on Monday the 13th of February 2012 at 12 noon (just in time for Valentine's Day).
Winner notified via the email address they provided.
The winner recieves:
2 x 'European Landmark' Paper Weights
The Fine Print: This competition is open to New Zealand residents only. One entry per person please. Employees of Acquisitions and their immediate families are not eligible to enter. We reserve the right to reprint selected entries on our Facebook page or Email Newsletter. Following the draw we will announce the winner here and on our Facebook page.
So, where would you most like to visit?

There are so many places I would love to travel - but that could be because I trained as a travel agent & learned so much about everywhere that I want to see it all!!! But if I had to choose, it would probably be England, maybe take an embroidery class with the Royal School of Needlework so I can sit & stitch in Hampton Court :D

Rome - because while in Europe I ran out of time and didn’t get to Rome - I did get to see the Leaning Tower of Pisa and the Eiffel Tower so the paper weights would bring back happy memories
