It’s Friday again, and we love Fridays here at Prezzybox HQ.

We’ve got a great competition for you guys today, In association with the new film – ‘I Love You Philip Morris’ We’re giving you the chance to win an Acer laptop!

If you haven’t heard about ‘I Love Philip Morris’ yet, where have you been?! It’s about a guy called Steven Russell (Jim Carrey) who leads a seemingly average life – a happily married man and a member of the local police force. That is until he has a severe car accident that leads him to the ultimate epiphany: he’s going to live life to the fullest – even if he has to break the law to do it. Taking on an extravagant lifestyle, Steven turns to cons and fraud to make ends meet and is eventually sent to the State Penitentiary where he meets the love of his life, a sensitive, soft-spoken man named Phillip Morris (Ewan McGregor). His devotion to freeing Phillip from jail and building the perfect life together prompts him to attempt (and often succeed at) one impossible con after another. This is the unbelievable true story of what can happen when the legal system, a daredevil spirit and undying love collide.

It’s in your local cinema now so go see it!

And if you want to be in with a chance of winning the  so-chic-it’s-painful Karim Rashid Seashell Eee PC, simplyclick on the competition banner above and answer  the question.

Good Luck!

In other news, we’ve had a visit from TV royalty this week

It’s Jedward! Or as they’re more commonly known, Nikki and Zak messing about with Personalised Masks. The personalised masks are all kinds of awesome and available now!

Now, as you know, it’s Friday so it’s time for our Friday Video. It was St Paddy’s Day earlier this week, so I thought I’d show you Failblog’s st paddy’s day roundup. I hope your St Paddy’s Day didn’t end up like this!

The boss comes back on Monday, so we’ve been enjoying our last week of craziness before order is restored. We’re hoping they’ll be back with loads of stories from their 3 week romp around Oz (and maybe some presents for the staff, pretty please?) Perhaps we’ll even put some of their holiday snaps up on here!

I’m sure you’ve all be waiting with baited breath to find out who won our big Valentine’s Day competition! Well, wait no more. The golden envelope is here and we are very happy to announce our loved-up winners!

In third place…..

Abereat Sabir!

“Would you believe it could all start from a game of hide and seek?

As I put on the blindfold, I walked around with my arms outstretched. Well, I don’t mean to boast, but I am very good at this game. All my other senses come alive as I become attuned to the movements around me. However, one of my friends decided to slip out of the room. As I followed, I seemed to lose my co-ordinates. Bang! I walked straight into the door of the cupboard under the stairs! Suddenly, I heard a floorboard creak. Frustrated, I began to berate my friend for leaving the room. As I made my way along the hallway to the foot of the stairs…I misjudged my location again. Bang! I’d walked into the staircase railing again! Now definitely frustrated I climbed the stairs to where I knew my friend was. I grabbed hold of her foot and said victoriously, ‘See I got you!’

As I pulled off my blindfold to my horror I realised, this was not my friend! There sitting on that step of the staircase, the person whose foot I was holding was….no other than my whole future, smiling down goofily at me, as the blood rushed to my face!”

We loved his story of ‘blind love’ (geddit?) So much that we awarded him third prize!

In Second Place….

Naomi Muggeridge!

“I was a student nurse living with three other nurses. One of the girls had a boyfriend in the RAF. One evening he came over with a friend to mend her car. As I was leaving to go out for the evening I walked past a tall, dark handsome stranger standing in my hall.
The following day I asked my friends boyfriend about the stranger and he said ‘oh, he’s going to phone you later, he had a dream about you last night and you were feeding him crumpets!’ ..’mmmm!’ said I, ‘crumpets!!’ and the rest is history..One dog, 2 cats, 2 rabbits and 2 children later…”

Crumpets are always a massive hit in the Prezzybox office and when crumpets and love mix, the results are spectacular!

A load of valentine’s goodies are winging their way to the lucky winners as we speak!

And finally, Last but most definitely not least, Our Grand Prize Winner!

In First Place…… (drum roll please)

Carroll Marsh!

“I met my gorgeous hubby in 1978 in weirdly funny, yet sad circumstances. I was visiting my lovely Gran, when she said she had a decorator upstairs. I made a cup of tea and she called him down. I didn’t really fancy him that much as we all sat down on the settee with our cuppas.
Gran loved her budgie, Billy, who was flying round the room.

Suddenly Billy landed on Gary, the decorator’s foot at just about the split second he was crossing his legs. Next thing I knew poor Billy was hurtling through the air heading towards the lovely roaring coal fire!!

It was like slow motion Aaaaargh! We still laugh about it!!!”

This story made us laugh and cringe in equal measure (I also have her word that they bought Gran a new budgie after the incident!)

So congratulations, Carroll, the Edible Arrangement and all those other goodies are on their way to you now!

A massive ‘congratulations’ to our winners and a great big thank you to everyone who entered!

Have a great weekend everyone…

If you haven’t heard of them, where have you been?! They’re gorgeously soft and fluffy fleecy blankets that are fantastic at keeping you warm and cosy on the sofa (or wherever you happen to be. But these are no ordinary blankets, Oh No; the Slanket is brilliant because it comes with sleeves!

Great big, baggy, fleecy sleeves that let you hold your cups of tea, read a book or use your computer whilst enjoying delicious warmth and comfort!

We’re not the only people who love Slankets. We’ve had so many great reviews from you, the Prezzybox army, that there should be no question about it – the Slanket is King!

We gave a couple to our good friends at Affiliate Window and they’ve sent us some pictures of themselves enjoying Slanket Time.

Proof, if ever it was needed, that Slankets can make everything comfortable!

Enjoy the Slankets, guys…

But it’s been a great Christmas for Prezzybox. We’ve been completely rushed off our feet! I hope you’ve all had a great Christmas and that 2010 is shaping up to be a great year for you all.

Unfortunately, the snow has been wreaking havoc across the country, and being that Prezzybox HQ is in the middle of the countryside, most of the Prezzybox crew have been working from home this week.

It would be easy to let the ice and snow get us all down, but it’s even easier to wrap up warm & safe in our Slankets and hot sox. If you’re chilling at home, why not check out the Winter Sale with loads of bargains across the site!

Also, send us your best Snowman pics and, you never know, I might post them up here.

So, until next week, enjoy the snow and have fun on the ice, this little kitty will show you how…

Til next week,

Kat

So what does an internet company do when the power’s off?

At first, we just hung out in our Slankets waiting for the power to come back. After a while, we decided to give the office a jolly good tidy.

The power came back about an hour later and now the office is fresh and clean, we’ve recycled all of our boxes and cyper-cleaned our keyboards.

So what do you guys get up to when the power goes out?

Also, since we haven’t said it before, I’d like you all to give a big Prezzybox Welcome to our newest member of staff, Deena. She’s our new techie and is very lovely indeed.

As it’s Friday, and as I haven’t given you a video in a while, check out this example of epic cuteness. You’ve probably seen it all before, but it’s still cute!

Have a great weekend everyone!
