Our first Christmas card!

Mami and I received our first Christmas card. But not just any card, it was an E-Card from Ferrero the chocolate people! Mmmmm!

We liked it so much we wanted to show you too. And it was made especially for us, just look at the pictures on the card...that's me!



You can send someone a Ferrero E-Card too and when you do you are in the running to win a box of chocolates. Mami says you can't send everyone a real card, and sometimes this is just as nice.

In the meantime, we have a 2 boxes of the Ferrero collection to giveaway! This includes the traditional Ferrero Rocher Gold, Ferrero Rondnoir (dark chocolate) and Ferrero Garden.

To enter:

Just leave a nice comment below with your contact details and leave us your best Christmas preparation tip (can be anything from cooking, decorating, wrapping gifts, etc)

  1. Hola Little M! Wonderful card. Ferrero is my favourite chocolate producer as it's from Italy where I come from, and do you know what? My dad used to have a big hazelnut tree plantation and used to supply the Ferrero company with hazelnuts to make Ferreo Rocher and Nutella. My parents live about 20miles from the Ferrero headquarter in Italy...
    My daughter and I have been making Xmast cards and Xmas gift tags from recycled material and last year's used cards and tags. Hasta manana. Ciao. A.

  2. My best Christmas tip is to keep a list of what you've bought so that you don't forget and overspend. Kidder had over 70 presents last year because I'd forgot what I'd bought him. Had to devise a strategy.

  3. What a lovely Card, wish i received cards like that.
    My xmas tip would be dont spend a fortune on xmas decorations this year - get yoiur kiddies to help you make some decorations for your tree. This saves money and keeps your kids occupied.

  4. Mmmmmmm I adore Ferrero Rocher :)
    My tip would be to do everything earlier than you need to - then you can relax and enjoy Christmas Day!

  5. My best tip is to make notes - you may think you'll remember that you loved a recipe from a certain cookbook, or hated the crackers from a particular shop, but after 12 months, you won't!

    Have tweeted too - @cheekychicken24

  6. Oooh yummy. My favourite chocs!! mmmh.

    Best tip: before you get married, make a deal with your partner: You do all the xmas prep (xmas cards, presents, cookie baking, calendars) and he does EVEYTHING on the 24/25/26 Dec. And i mean EVERYTHING. This guarantess a stressfree Christmas (for yourself)

  8. Thanks for this offer, you are really spoiling us (blast from the past). My Christmas tip is although we have huge pressures on us to look after other people at this time, we cannot do this effectively if we are not in tip top condition ourselves. So be kind to yourselves and others.
    I have tweeted too. x

  9. My best tip for preparing for Christmas is to ensure you have goose fat in the house as it makes roast potatoes wonderful to eat.
    I am about to tweet as @netcurtains

  10. My tip is to make sure you have a treat for yourself (good bottle of wine and some nice chocolates works for me) to have while you're wrapping the pressies or writing out the Xmas cards. A task that can sometimes be a bit of a chore suddenly becomes a pleasure :)

  11. What a lovely idea....
    My tips are 1. Right down everything you buy otherwise you can end up doubling up or forgetting how much you've bought.I use notes on my iphone to keep a track nowdays as it gets confusing with 5 children.
    2. Get prepared....do all the wrapping you can do as easrly as possible rather than on Christmas Eve( again, impossible with 5 children)

  12. My christmas tip is to peel your christmas veg the night before (while you're watching trashy TV) and put them in a really tight sealed container (not water as they go tasteless).

  13. Mmm love Ferrero

    My christmas tip would be to bargin hunt - ebay and gumtree can be great for picking up cheap gifts

  14. I get the kids to help on Christmas Eve preparing all the food for Christmas dinner. We put on Christmas songs and have fun peeling spuds and prepping Sprouts. The children get asense of achievement having helped, we have fun and the pressure is off on Christmas morning meaning no-one gets stuck in the kitchen!

  15. Yummy. My top tip would be not to leave the wrapping until xmas eve. You WILL run out of wrapping paper when all the shops are shut!

    Have tweeted too

  16. Morning Little M
    My best tip for Christmas is to have a book! I have an A4 book I use for all Christmas planing.
    I have everything I need to buy and the yr in columns so I just need to tick it. At the back I have a list of peoples names So i can add the presents to it.
    It saves so much time, and really helps me feel organised! I will tweet now x gidders1 twitter

  17. Mmmm yummy prize :)

    My tip is simple... DON'T PANIC. It's Christmas so enjoy it, no one will care if you forget to cook the sprouts, the roast potatoes get a bit overdone or you leave a price label on a pressie. I think sometimes people get stressed out trying to create the perfect christmas, relax, and delegate some of the Christmas chores :)

  18. Buy wrapping paper with a grid on the back.

  19. My tip is to start early and write lists and make xmas tags out of last years xmas cards!

  20. My tip is mulled wine - lots of it!!!!!!!!

    Seriously, save last year's christmas cards for this year's tags...get the kids to make and wrap with brown paper and pretty ribbon bows..looks VERY professional (and I am such a slattern let me tell you)

  21. Wow will remember these comments - v helpful tips! I now realise that I will eventually have to cater for a Christmas at home now we have a family - scary thought.

    My tip: Don't be like me to leave all present-getting until Christmas Eve. Not possible this year as the frenchies celebrate crimbo on the 24th anyway!

    Have loved Ferrero ever since the Diplomat ads 'Monsieur you're really spoiling us tonight...'

    Hi there
    Me and Sofia (my daughter) absolutely LOVE Ferrero, she can eat twice as many as me!!!

    My tip would be to save up all your loyalty card points up through the year whether it's boots, nectar, tesco or other stores so that you can use them all at Christmas. With deals such as double up with tesco you can use them to get lots of pressies etc spending less money!! We've done that this year and we haven't spent more than £40 cash on each child because of our loyalty card points.

  25. I'd say keep a list of jobs that need doing, cards that need sending and presents to buy and wrap. Then you won't be like me and keep thinking you've got Christmas sussed then remember something else that needs doing. Next year I'll get it right.
