Thanks to everyone who entered – this yummy hamper was won by Wendy Ely who supports Sight Advice South Lakes.
————————————-
Love is in the air at easyfundraising HQ! We’ve got another wedding to look forward to (congrats to Phil and Claire) and Valentine’s Day is just around the corner. We asked our friends at Thorntons to help us share the love with easyfundraising members and 
they’ve given us a fab I Love Chocolate hamper to give away (thank you Thorntons!)
It’s choc-full of yummy chocolate and is guaranteed to deliver smiles to all chocolate lovers, whatever the occasion.
So to win it, all we want to know is who you would share it with and why. Yes, we know you want to keep it all for yourself but if you really, really had to share it with someone, who would it be?
Post your answer in the comments section below this post. You’ve got until 30th Jan to tell us and the one we like the best wins the hamper – good luck!
I would share the chocolate hamper with the lovely 3 carers that help me look after my wife 24/7. At times it has been tough but they have helped me ensure that all runs smooth even in the bad times. Unfortunately my wife cannot partake as she is fed by a feeding tube after the MND decimated her swallow but I know she would love to see the carers given a very appreciated gift for their ongoing support and kindness.
I would share it with my sister. She’s just had her first baby and had a pretty traumatic time, so it would be nice sitting and munching choccies with her while we coo over her new baby boy! (Don’t tell hubby tho!)
Where do we enter??? I can’t see where I can submit my entry!
Hi Sonia, sorry, should have made it clearer – just post your comment under this post.
thanks
Becky
have updated the post to make it clearer!
I would give the whole kit and caboodle to my very dear friend, Jean. She has been a stalwart support to me for the last 16 years whilst I have been bed bound with M. E., phoning me every day, visiting me, keepin my spirits up and doing all sorts of errands for me. Without her tireless, loving kindness, I would not have managed. In June 2011, she was diagnosed with Leukemia, and is having a very tough time trying to get her condition stabilised, as she is not able to tolerate the full drug regime. She adores Thornton’s chocolates but cannot afford to have them very often, and gets upset if I try to buy her an odd bag. A Thornton’s hamper would bring her such a lot of happiness and help her through her difficult time, whilst giving me the chance to tell her how special she is.
I would share it with all my lovely friends at slimming world.We have all tried and done so well to lose weight it would be an extra treat for us all.
Thanks
Joan
i would share the the chocolates with the people i work with at RELATE .NORTHAMPTONSHIRE. If it wasnt for them, i dont think i would be here
I would share it with my lovely husband who does a fantastic job of putting up with my moaning!!!
I would give it to my friend Michelle whose small son Max has needed a kidney transplant since the day he was born. 3 weeks ago after nearly 4 years waiting, the magic call came and Max was given the precious gift of life but after 2 weeks it was clear the transplant has not worked and the kidney has had to be removed. Max is still very poorly in hospital in London and Michelle has stayed with him throughout while family and friends have rallied around her other children in Dorset. Michelle and Max and indeed the rest of the family are an absolute inspiration …I don’t think i have ever seen Max without a smile …he brightens my day whenever I see him, and the whole family have borne every thing thrown at them over the last 4 years with dogged determination …and always the lovely lovely smile. So I think the Price family really do deserve some chocolates
It’s a bit corny and predictable and there’s no exciting story behind it but the person I would most want to share my tasty choccie treats with is my beautiful girlfriend, Jasmin. There are so many things I want to say thank you to her for, she is perfect and I cant think of anything better than to surprise her with a feast of chocolate! Thorntons no less!! The goooood stuff!
I’d share them with my four year old daughter. I wouldn’t get any choice in the matter! As she said to me the other day, “Mummy, if I see someone who’s not sharing I will say ”GIVE IT TO ME” and I’ll show them how to share.”
I would organise a girls get together and have a chocolate and wine evening, probably make a tiramisu cake and decorate with thortons chocolate. No matter how crappy life gets, a good girls night in makes it all seem a bit better!
I would offer it up as a raffle prize for cats protection league where I volunteer x
I would take the hamper to the next district planning meeting to help inspire ideas for our world thinking day fundraising event being held next month!
I would share it with my lovely mum. She has looked after my children for 5 years enabling me to go out and work part time. She has committed every week and has never complained or asked for anything in return. A box of chocolates would be a fine show of appreciation, but I think she would be pleased enough that I have mentioned her.
I would share it with my 81 year old Grandad Bertie, he is so good to me and my family, he would do anything for anyone. He has been in hospital for a while and sharing some Thornton’s Chocolates with him would cheer him up, he is a big fan of Thornton’s
I would share the hamper with my wonderful rugby girls. We work hard all year round and everyone is currently doing exams so we could all do with a boost!
I would share all the hamper with all the girls at my work, as we all work really hard and we deserve to have a little bit of choclate on our tea breaks, and also with the leaders at my brownie group as we also work hard to provide nice activities for all the lovely girls that come to our brownies.
I would share it with my invisible friend as she is on a diet and would therefore only want the odd one!
I would use the hamper for a valentines day raffle prize at my school, in hope to raise funds for Uganda 2013!
I’d give the box to my wife for all the support she has provided during a turbulant couple of years with the stresses of finishing uni and trying to find a job and now with months off due to a shoulder injury, wiv 3 under 4 year old to looka fter as well she has really worked hard to ensure everything is maintained fairly smoothly.
I would share the hamper with the Fatfield Cubs and there mum’s on our up coming mum and cub night, that way the mum’s would want to volunteer to help out more and we could help more children in the area have a great time and help their community be a great place.
We are chocoholics in our family and thorntons are our favourite chocolate! So it would have to be saved for after lunch on a sunday for my girls and husband and if there’s any left:) I’d share it with my friends.
I would share it with the drama group at Talkback ( a self advocacy organisation for and with people with a learning disability).
i would give the chocolates to my mum if i won as she loves thorntons chocolates and gets very sad at valentines day because she misses my dad who died a couple of years ago from MND.
I would take the hamper to my Gateway Club meeting one of the nights in February & use it to make one of our members who is 40 then, have a happier birthday party, We are holding a surprise one for her. Lisa will be 40 & she has never had a party in her life & until last year when we took her, had never been to the beach or built a sandcastle.
People these days take everything for granted whereas Lisa is so happy with anything & if we won Thornton’s chocolates it would so make her day!
i would share it with my 3 beautiful girls , because they are what makes everyday special, even the darkest ones.
I would give the prize to some old neighbours Mark & Anita for them to share.
They got married this month after many years together, knowing this may be their last year together as Mark was diagnosed with terminal cancer, I’d like their one and maybe only Valentines Day as husband and wife to be extra special.
You never see them without a smile on their faces, a wave across the street or a cheery few words, they are an inspiration. X

I would share it with the local hospice with terminally ill people who would enjoy a bit of decadence and luxury in the times that they are suffering. if any was left over I would share it with my wonderful class of children who keep me smiling all the day
I would share the chocolates with my partner because aswell as it being Valentine’s Day next month, it is also our 10 year anniversary and he has quite a sweet tooth!
i would share it with my fantastic parent volunteers who are helping 4th stafford boys brigade raise much needed money for our anniversery camp to London
I would share it with my running buddies as we are training to run the Bath Half marathon on 11th March in aid of Guide Dogs.
I would share the hamper with my sons ta…my son is 5 and has autism and attends mainstream school,he has a wonderful ta ,her name is nicola and she is great with him,his little face when i leave makes you melt ,and i know that he is in safe hands and he comes out every day and she has taught him something else,i couldnt get a toothbrush in his mouth to brush his teeth,within a week Nicola has done it and now hes getting certificates for brushing his teeth …she is great….x
I would share with my wonderful son. I feel very guilty for taking sweets away from him for a week today for once again not eating his packed lunch – lol. He does love his chocolates, so this would be wonderful for him to look forward to at the “end of the tunnel”!
I would share the box with my lovely son. He is taller than me now but always has a cuddle in the morning before school. Everytime he has chocolates i always end up eating half the box, so if i win i would share…no give it to him! He’s a good kid who trys hard in school and he deserves it
I would like to shar this with the committe of The Tree Club, three ladies with children with special needs who give up free time to volunteer their services as Trusteesfor the Tree Club which is an after school club and holiday scheme for children aged 5-18yrs with special needs in Scotland. They act as administrators, treasurer, chairperson etc, and run the club and it’s staff despite exhaustion from being parents of specialneeds themselves, and this service gives up to 20 families and children respite through the year. They deserve a box each!!!!
I would like to share the chocolate with my husband David. He’s a very hard working person and it’s not easy to take up the responsibility to support our family of 5. David is a fantastic husband. Although working full time and often 10-12 hours a day, he often comes home and does the washing up and baths the children before having his dinner. He’s not just my husband, he’s also my best friend. I can turn to him whenever I need him.
He never shouts or looses his temper. Our children absolutely love their daddy! He is fun and gentle. He has never ending jokes and magic tricks to share; at the same time, he passes on his fantastic knowledge to the children.
David needs extra cuddles recently because his beloved great aunt just died on Thursday night (19 Jan). If I won the hamper, I would like to share the chocolate with him to take away his sour.
I’d use it with the guides to do our Chocolate badge!
I’d share with my CAB colleagues, they are all volunteers and have to deal with some heavy stuff. This would lighten the load!
I would share it with my office volunteers at Shrewsbury URC as they do a great job filling in for me Tuesday – Thursday on a purely voluntary basis. They deserve a treat!
i would share this with my closest friends who despite their problems are aways there to support me through everything even when they have enough to handle dont know where i’d be without them.
I’d share with my family. After a birthday trip to Cadbury World for my son at the weekend we need something to help us to get through the rest of the week!
I would share it all with my beautiful boyfriend James, he’s such a fussy eater that chocolate is about the only food we can enjoy together, plus he needs fattening up a bit ;o)
I would share it with my mum as she is the one that always looks after me and looks out for me. When I am upset or my mum thinks I have done something well she usually buys me a treat, and my weakness is chocolate. So to repay her for all the times she has bought me chocolate, I would giver her this as to say thank you!!
I would be able to share some with the ladies at work, some at home and others for raffle prizes! That way I have three definite chances of getting some!
As much as I would love to keep it all to myself, I would share it with my mother-in-law as she deals with all the people who want to either give up their dog or adopt a new dog.
She does a wonderful job of looking after people who are in various emotional states, I help where I can with the website and some specific advice I can give.
I would share this with my Fiance, he has been an absolute rock since my car accident in November, taking me to appointments, doing all the housework, running round after me (including running me to and from all of my Guiding commitments) and generally being lovely and all without (much) nagging from me!
When you then factor in that he not only is stressing about me, but also that he will be out of work this Friday as his contract expires, and that we have to pay for our wedding later this year, I just think that he really does deserve a big Thank you.
I would share them with the volunteers at both Kincardine & Mearns CAB and Aberdeen CAB. Both sets work extremely hard and still manage to keep smiling at the end of their sessions – despite the fact that currently we are facing problems with funding and IT. They are not only very reliable in relation to the sessions that they have committed to, they also cover each other’s sessions when necessary. A wonderful bunch of people who help me do my job and help so many people who need advice and assistance. (Aberdeen CAB have a sweeter toothed bunch and as there are so many of them, I would need to split before sharing!)
There is no-one else I could possibly share it with apart from my wonderful husband. I was diagnosed with Non-hodgkins cancer early in 2007 and during all my treatments and hospital visits he has been there for me.
Thank you Carl.
I have a wonderful sister-in-law who is very fond of milk and white chocolate whilst I am passionate about dark chocolate so I would share it with her. Alternatively I would raffle the hamper to raise funds for the Royal Surrey County Hospital.
I would use the hamper and raffle it
to make more money for my chosen cause.
I would share this Thorntons chocolate hamper with my new pta commitee members. I was asked to take on the role of Chair in September 2011, and since doing this we have had a lot more parents come to the meetings and help out at our events, so just to say a big thank you to them for supporting me in my new role, i would share this out at our next meeting.
Thank you.
I would love to share them with my husband, unfortunately not possible as he died suddenly two years ago at age 45 from a heart attack, so I would share some with my 16 year old daughter. I would also share with Torbay Brass Band and my beading friends in Babbacombe who helped to keep me sane during the darkest days.
I’d give it to Katherine who I am fundraising for, so she can raffle it to raise funds for her Nepal trip… x
I work for a charity that promotes volunteering to the general public. At the end of February we are running some volunteering information days for students at the local college. I would use this hamper as a prize for a competition which would engage the students with the various charities that are attending the event and would advertise the competition as “I Love Volunteering”.
I would share it with my wonderful wife who turned my life around and upside down all at once (and who gave up chocolate when she was pregnant with our daughter Millie – now 4 years old) AND with Millie who lights my day up every morning with a big hug for me!
xx
I would share this with my lovely Auntie and her family. She has had a very traumatic time with her ex husband who has been stalking them. She has been feeling very depressed, but she is still able to help out with anyone else in need.
Valentines day is coming – I would share it with my dearly beloved
I would share the chocolates with those who are homeless. I was shocked when I met some friends last week that I had lost in touch with and they told me they had been homeless since October. I was more shocked when they told me how they were treated by the local Council. The homeless people on the streets are the ones that have have usually went through difficult times and then only to be let down by society. To brave the streets in winter they deserve to be sweetened up with a few chocolates and to know that there are people out there that do care about them.
I would share it with my friend and my then midwife Lindis. Without her intervention at hospital when I was in labour my beautiful daughter Rachel (now her Goddaughter) would not be with us today.
I would give most of it as prizes to the next charity raffle we hold at work for Hounds for Heroes, (we’ve nearly raised enough to sponsor initial training for a second assistance puppy, which costs £5,000 for each one). But I would put something special aside for my partner of over 32 years, Stuart, who was born on Valentine’s Day. He travels up to to Yorkshire from Portsmouth to look after his very frail 92 year-old mother several times a year, really looks after me with my constant back problems, and is my hard-working full-time house-husband as well – so I think he deserves it.
i would share mine with my wonderfull gardening team at work who could really do with the treat
i would share mine with my wonderfull gardening team at work who could really do with the treat
I would share it with my husband because he loves thorntons and he loves me
I’d share it with my colleagues here – not because I love them more than my husband, but they might not tell him I’d been munching (we both need to lose a few pounds, but I can never resist Thorntons: they are my absolute favourites!)
I would share the chocolates with all the wonderful members and volunteers here at Andover VIPs ( visually impaired people), as well as all the public who drop in to our office for advice and support after sight loss.
I have worked with them for 15 years, and I am leaving soon, so it would be lovely to hand them out at my leaving party!
I would share my chocs with my boyfriend, little girl, family and friends for my 45th birthday at the beginning of Feb,it’s also my boyfriends birthday in Feb and valentines and usually we can just about justify celebrating one of them with money being so tight after christmas.This would be a perfect way of celebrating all three in style this year and making my birthday as extra special as i was dreaming it could be (I was unable to celebrate my 40th) by making it possible to host a chocoholics party to see everyone i love together with one(or two) glasses of champagne! What a lovely way to share. Cheers! xx
I would share them with someone I know who is suffering from depression. Not only is this person a chocoholic, but they definitely appreciate fine chocolates. They need to know how much their efforts on behalf of, and care for, others, is appreciated. And of course, we all know about the endorphin release of chocolate and its resulting ‘feel good’ result!
I have just become Vicar of St Mary’s church serving the communities of Barton and Sandhills in Oxford. The good people here have given me the warmest of welcomes and have worked incredibly hard during their time without a priest. Now as the first woman to serve here, I’d like to show them my gratitude for their warm, genuine acceptance and hopeful optimism that I am the right person for the job. I’ve yet to meet the whole congregation, but so far, they are a group of people who are easy to love and these scrumptious choccies might just help them to realise that they ARE loved.
There is a great man named Ball
Who volunteers to maintain the hall
He works day and night
To look after the site
And chocs we could give him – that’s all.
I don’t have a valentine to share mine with but I would love to share them with my best friend/carer, Sandie. Sandie’s had a tough few years with terrible family tragedies, serious illnesses & deaths but she always has a smile on her face, a song in her heart & a big hug for anyone who needs it. Without Sandie I would be permanently housebound & she is always treating me to short breaks & takes me to visit my family who I wouldn’t be able to see otherwise. She really is my guardian angel & always puts others first, never thinking about herself
I would share with my sisters who are both struggling with a lot or work related commitments it would be nice to take some time out together and indulge
Hmmm difficult decision, I could easily cuddle up quite happily with the hamper alone hehe.
If I had to choose someone to share it with my only choice would be my two youngest children. How much would they love their mummy?!
I would share it with the parents who are constantly on the go fundraising for our expedition project ghana. Parents Who Go the extra Mile to help us and OUR school need Thanking. They have raised in the last 2 months well OVER £1,000.00 and they NEVER stop. Next week we have a Fashion SHow which we hope will raise even more Money.
Thankyou Easyfundraising together we can achieve goals we Never imagined.
“The big secret in life is that there is no big secret. Whatever your goal, you can get there if you’re willing to work.”
I would share it with my invisible friend as she is on a diet and would therefore only want the odd one!
I would share this hamper with my Darling wife Janet, who after 26 wonderful years together put up with me being away for long periods of time whilst I served in the armed forces. And then helped me with my rehabilitation following a near fatal accident ten years ago.
Janet has been been my Rock thought out these wonderful and difficult times as well as being a devoted and loving mother to our two children now in their 20′s.
I would share it with my hubby who’s been running round after me for a while now as my pregnant belly keeps stopping me doing the running round myself! I suppose he’s earned some yummy choccy
i would share it with my sister and brother in law who are going through a real hard time at the moment. Currently being treated for the big C and all the family issues that go with. I cant take it away but I can try and put a smile on their face
I would share it with my children & grandchildren . I have six of each all very different but all very special & of course my husband who loves chocolate and quite often at the bottom of the list.
I would share with my 3 lovely kids, they have looked after me so well this year through chemo etc. They are positive and upbeat and give me a reason to get up each day that I can and reason to smile everyd ay.
I would share the yummy thornton’s goodies with my three lovely teenage kids – I’m already starting to feel sad about them leaving home soon, my daughter will be off to Uni this year, and my sons aren’t far behind – I want to treasure them while they’re all still living with me.
I would undoubtedly share the chocolates with the person I look up to the most, HH Dalai Lama! The great man who inspires talking and sharing between people the world over. The author of “The art of Happiness” will have to rethink the contents of his book as chocolate does not “yet” have a chapter!
I WOULD SHARE MY CHOCOLATE WITH MY FAMILY AS I LIKE TO REWARD THEM FOR LOOKING AFTER MY AFTER MY HEART ATTACK AS I COULD NOT DO ANYTHINK FOR 6 WEEKS AS I HAD A OPERATION AS WELL AS THIS SO THEY DESERVE THIS FROM ME
I really would not want to share it with anyone but, if I HAD to, it would be my lovely husband, who enjoys gorgeous chocolate as much as I do!
I would love to be able to say I would share it with the man in my life, but unfortunately I no longer have one! So as a single mum to four children under 7, I would share it with them. They are the only loves in my life at the moment!
I would share it with my mum who loves chocolate and would cheer her up
I would share my box with the people of the British Royal Legion ladies who do so much good work in the area.
I’d share it with my hubby. I was made redundant 18 months ago and we’ve had to manage on one wage.
He never makes me feel guilty for not finding a job yet and is very supportive when I get down and disheartened.
When I was still working I suffered from a bout of depression and the medication gave me nightmares and feeling lethargic. Hubby made sure all the housework was done and encouraged me to keep moving.
He’s always there..and has been for the past 35 years.
Hi I would share it with my best friend, she has been through alot lately and has just lost her Nan. A coffee, box of chocolates and a best friends shoulder might just be what she needs. xxx
I’d share with my friends who are amazing when it comes to listening to my problems and cheering me up! The world would be a dull, gray place without them and I want them to know how much I appreciate them x
I would share them with my partner and my son because we are all lovers of Thorntons
I’d share with my husband, since our daughter was born in December he’s got up for late night and early morning feeds without one complaint and letting me sleep. I’d love to treat my perfect man to a little indulgence.
I would share this with my Husband as he has just got news of a job after being off work for over a year and we have had to survive on my part-time wages. I have to be away with work over valentines day so I would love to leave him a wee treat (as long as he hides it from the kids!) to congratulate him.
I’d share it with my three sons as we all love chocolate.
I would share it with my sister as she loves chocolate as much as I do, he has also been the family rock since our Mam died.
I would share it with my husband and my good friends and neighbours Sue and Dennis. They are always there for me and every weekend we have a meal together to wind down from the week. Have a hamper of lovely Thorntons chocolate to share would really bring a smile to everyone’s face and make my time with my “framily” even more special!
Is George Clooney an option? If not then it would be my gorgeous daughter for sure!
I would share them with my partner Phil as for the past eight years he has worked so hard allowing me the privelage of being able to stay at home and be a full time mum to our two beautiful boys, and has given me lots of love and support in the past 12 months as I have returned back to the world of work. we have some very hard times emotionally as a family, I am very lucky!!!
My friend -the one on a diet! I’m sure she’d have some so as not to offend me , but I’d be very understanding….
I would share it with my chocoholic best friend, who is moving soon,
and I’m gonna miss her like mad. Having one last chocolate feast together might ease the separation. 
I’d share it with my big 20 year old brother. I’m actually suprising myself saying this because we drive each other up the wall, but in August I’m going away to China for a year and I’ve only just realised how much I’m going to miss him. He’ll probably eat most of them but I don’t care! He always says how proud he is of me so I think a good few chocolates will be a good way to say how I actually do love him.
id share mine with my lovely hubby , we have had a rough year . I suffer a long term disability and in march last year we decided to try for a baby , i had to come off several strong medications and in august we finally fell pregnant , only to miscarry in october …we were heartbroken . last week we found out we’re pregnant again so taking things easy and would be fab to treat him with this lovely prize . him and my older children have been amazing!
I would share my hamper with my invisible friend. I’d be really generous!
I would share it with my boyfriend, mam and my brother as they have all been a great help to me lately while I have been unwell. They have helped me with most of the jobs I’ve needed doing throughout the winter when I have been unable to get out of the house.
I would share it with my wonderful Wife, she really deserves a nice treat, ok I would scoff most of them as I am an uncontrollable choccy piggy, but it is the thought that counts!
If I could share these chocs , I would,
But I have never been that good,
They call to me,
I hear them say,
Come eat me now,do not delay.
I’d donate it to my branch of cats protection to help raise funds – I am waiting to have my gall bladder out and can’t eat chocolate at present and if I kept it at home it would be too much temptation
i would share it with my wife as she is always there for me
I’d plan to share it with Jay. But I might not get much
I would share the Thorntons Chocolate Hamper with my girlfriend.
Quite simply because my life wouldn’t be worth living if i didn’t!
i’d share with my 11yr old daughter as i am still guilty for eating 4 of her easter eggs last year and promised to pay her back and as of yet i havent lol
With my family but more importantly my wife
I would share it with my husband as it is his birthday next week
I”d share with my son…we are both dieting…so if I had to cheat and eat chocolate, then he can suffer as well!
My diet is doing well…but I could kill for some chocolate!!
I would share it with the children in The Paynter Home who are the kids who have touched my heart and I will spend the rest of my life fund raising for to ensure they have the best start in life we can give them. They rarely have sweets so this would be such a treat.
I would share it with all the members of our school PTA as they work so hard to fund raise for the school all year and deserve a little treat!
I would share it with my Hubby and 2 grandchildren, we had some Thorntons for Christmas, and my grandchildren tucked into them like they were going out of style
If I really, really had to share I would choose my very kind husband – the worse thing I ever did was to introduce him to chocolate as he only ate mints when we first met!
I would share it with my mum and dad – I got into some problems with money over the last year after I lost my job and they never questioned helping me or asked what I needed money for. I will pay them back one day but I’m hoping this would be a step in the right direction to showing how thankful I am for being there
I would share the hamper with everyone I work with at a small animal rescue centre I work at. The centre is run mostly by volunteers. Without them the animal centre would not be able to run and they all deserve a huge thank you. The rescue charity means so much to me and the place and people are what keep me going in life!
I would share the hamper with my partner! Perfect for these cold nights in a box set, choccie and cuddles on the sofa!
I would share the chocolate with the ‘Daft Brushes’ – my five lovely friends who I see every Friday morning when we paint. I always look forward to seeing them as, although we are from different age ranges and different backgrounds, we have a common interest – drinking coffee and eating chocolate – oh and painting! The Brushes have had their share of family traumas, illnesses and tragedies over the last couple of years and I hope that those who have gone through them have come out the other side knowing that we will always be there for them. I know that if I have to contend with something in the future my honorary sisters will definately be there for me.
I am one of four bridesmaids for my best friend this year so I would share the chocolate with them so I’m not ‘the fat one’. Bride isn’t allowed any before the wedding though – I might save her a bit for when she’s back from honeymoon.
I would share it with my lovely work colleagues who all support each other as best we can!
I’d just have to share them with the rest of the team who work at Graham House. This is a hostel and is part of Thames Reach.
Every single one is a star shining brightly.
My wonderful husband of 30 years.
I would share it with my daughter just because I love her xx
I would share this lovely Hamper with my mate, Julie. She’s just lost her job, after 13 years of working for the same firm, and really needs cheering up. We could munch our way through this whilst watching The Vampire Diaries!
I would share it with my amazing hubby and son. They have put up with so much over the past year with all the charity and school work I have done and never moan. They are always there to support me and when things get really stressful they never judge or comment they just gve me hugs. It would be lovely to be able to give these chocoholics a treat
I’d share it with me, myself and I. We’d all thoroughly enjoy it!
My little girl and I would eat them whilst watching Disney DVDs
I would share with all my family especially my husband and daughter as they are the best , however the dark chocolate ones would be for me
I would share the chocolate with the people in the office I work with as we work within the remit of safeguarding children and young people and at times it is extremely upsetting work. Chocolate would boost our faith in human nature
I would share with my hubby, for three months he looked after me after my hip operation, washing my feet and painting my toe nails, and just when he thought it was all over I broke my right arm – He so deserves a treat :p
I would share the hamper with my choir friends at one of our socials. We work so hard in our choir, and raise a lot of money for charity. I would love to win this wonderful hamper so my pals could ‘get’ something for a change.
i woul share it wth my hubby, he is chocoholic!!
mY 16 YR OLD SISTER SHES LOVES your hampers i bought her one last xmas and shes a size 8 so can afford to indulge
I would share the chocolate with all of the other CS mums. CS stands for Cockayne syndrome, it is a rare neurodegenerative disease that affects children. We are supported by the charity Amy and Friends
Having read all these reasons for winning the chocolates,I REALLY DON’T ENVEY YOU CHOOSING ONE!!!
I’d share it with my husband and son as they make me smile every day
I would share it with my Daughter-in-law who is a chocoholic and is raising two wonderful daughters, Gemma and Hannah aged 4 and 3 as well as looking after my son. She deserves it.
I would share it with a friend of mine who has just been diagnosed with terminal cancer. He helped my mum when she was fighting cancer until the end and was a rock to her. He’s such a lovely man and deserves a special treat.

I’d share it with my boyfriend as he has looked after me so well while I’m waiting for an operation to remove my gall bladder. Usually I goto work & he cooks, cleans, shops & does the washing as he’s looking for a job. but since I’ve been off work (November ’11) he’s also been my chauffeur, nursemaid & companion at 2am when the pain is so bad I can’t sleep! Would be such a lovely surprise for him.
I would share them with my mum because of everything she does for me and my gorgeous children. All Grandmas are so wise and loving and my mum is an absolutely fabulous Grandma, every day. We couldn’t manage without you mum, thank you!
I wouldn’t share them!…I’d give them to my lovely hubby… Valentines day is coming up fast & as I’m about to be made redundant it will probably fall by the wayside this year (however, knowing him, he would share them with me & the kids). My 40th birthday is also next week & I have told him that a bar of choc will do for my gift this year because money is going to be so tight, however I just know that he will have done something special regardless.
i’d share the hamper with my friend, Moya. She spends all her spare time making the most incredible jewellery from buttons and charms. She works so hard & every penny she raises goes to Cancer Research, a charity thats close to her heart. She’s one of the most kind-hearted, generous people i know and it would be fantastic to win this for her – i might even let her have it all! (thats a big gesture from such a chocholic!!)
I would share it with my lovely daughter Hannah, who always thinks about other people before herself and is so kind and generous. Although she has epilepsy, she still manages to get up every morning to work at breakfast club from 7.30am, and then rush home to look after her own three year old daughter. In addition she is studying for her NVQ level 3 in child care. I don’t know how she does it, and stiill smiles so much. I love her to pieces!

My aunty because she’s one of my ‘two mothers’ and has always been there for me.
My husband because he’s my Valentine and has ‘two mother-in-laws’ and has to put up with me

After much thought if I had to share it with anyone it would have to be my partner Wayne. Encouraging him to pop the big question after 10 years together and this might just swing it!
I would share it with my mum and dad who will be celebrating their 45 wedding anniversery this year and are very special people
I’d share this with my mum. She’s the biggest chocolate fiend i know. In fact, I’d have trouble keeping much of this hamper to myself, between mum, my brother’s girlfriend and the girls at work. Definitely worth breaking a New Year’s resolution over this!
He’s my lover my husband and my best friend,
we’ll be together till the bitter end,
For better or worse and through thick and thin
my life has been better since I met him.

I would share this Hamper with my lovely mother in law, Mary, who is ever helpful and supportive, never complains or asks for anything in return and would drop everything for her family if they need her.

x
I would dontate it to my daughters school….They are trying to raise money for some new outdoor toys and need raffle prizes! This would be wonderful.
I would share this with my Dad. Recently, my mum moved away to Vietnam to work, and I know it’s very difficult- he’s missing her a lot. Still, this hasn’t stopped him being a brilliant dad and friend to me – I’ve been struggling with various, rather teenage-cliche problems recently, and all the time he’s been there with a good film and box of chocolates to keep me sane. I think it’s time I did the same for him, even if it does mean watching Battle of Britain for the fifth time this month…
I’d share this with my Mum. Thornton’s Chocolates are an extra special treat, but we my need to toss a coin when it comes down to the last one. LOL, but not really. My Mum’s the greatest and after all, it is Mother’s Day soon
Support Brooke School
Would have a chocolate theme partty for my children. They can invite some friends round watch a DVD and dig in.
chocolate really isn’t meant for sharing but if I had to I’d share a very small part with my dad hehe!
would share this with my mum for her 70th birthday party.
I would share my hamper with my Nan and Grandad. Both are in poor health, with my grandad now terminally ill with cancer.
They have never had an easy life but have made the best of things, no matter what is thrown at them
They have been more like parents to me these past few years.
They both haven’t got that much longer left on this earth so to share their favourite, chocolate, with them would be a big thank you from me and to show them and tell them how much I love them.
I would share the prize with my lovely parents who still give up their time to do favours for me and my sister, despite both now retired and both myself and my sister have homes of our own.
Thorntons are the best chocolates in the world!! I hate sharing them but would stretch to sharing them with my gorgeous 5 year old & my husband. Perhaps even Gran too!
I would share it with my husband who fills my days with fun,
I would quietly make him promise not to tell anyone,
So to ourselves we could enjoy these Thornton’s chocolately delights,
And we would happily cherish each and every single bit!
I would donate the hamper (maybe minus one small treat for me, sorry!) to the Spring Fling at my daughter’s school so it could be bought at auction for some ridiculous price and all the proceeds would go to Project Peru, an orphanage for street children in Peru as that is the school’s chosen and well deserving charity this year.
I would take it to the next event of The Harmony Therapy Trust and raffle it to get much needed funds. Hopefully whoever wins will then share them with us all.
For some months, I’ve felt lonely and sad,
For all aspects of life have been bad.
Those who’ve helped me get through -
And are Thorntons fans too -
Are my long-suffering old mum and dad.
I would share these chocolates with my lovely partner who is always there for me.
I would get a mirror and share each and every chocolate with the reflection in it.
