Good news for me, my local Lakeland is only ten minutes away, bad news for my purse!
I love it there, I’m an addict. So many things I never even knew I needed. Although I buy lots of random things there, I do rely on them for all sorts of kitchen, baking and cake decorating supplies.
To celebrate my happy Lakeland shopping trip and the fact that they are now also on Facebook and Twitter too (and I can mither them to death) I’m going to giveaway the contents of my bag. Well, not my bag obviously, a duplicate copy. I’m not going to tell you what I bought, that would give the game away but it’s definitely worth winning!
Can you guess the price of this inconspicuous bagful?
I should also point out that this is not sponsored by Lakeland, the prize is entirely provided by me, yes I’m suffering a little March Madness!
WARNING: IF YOU ARE MR CLEMENS, PLEASE DO NOT READ THIS, YOU DO NOT NEED TO KNOW HOW MUCH I SPENT IN LAKELAND Thank you

Ooh what fun! ………… £43.93
I can’t resist Lakeland! I guess it could be £97.28
Oh I do love a good guessing game, I always loved those “guess how many sweets in the jar” games at school fairs.
I have subscribed with a slightly different email, as I prefer not to subscribe via email, however I do read and subscribe to you through my RSS feed already. Hope this is OK.
My guess is: £42.98
That’s fine x
Is it £35? No lakeland in Ireland have to survive with swooning online.
Thanx 4 chance to win.
I’m guessing £79.73
£32.90
£56.89
Oo exciting, although i’m never good at these! Along the lines of ‘guess how many smarties are in the jar’, i cannot estimate! But I shall take a guess at £23, and hope you manage as much restraint in Lakeland as me.
I’m guessing £23.52
£62.27
Hi Ruth, a total guess here but £124.58? It is a good thing my nearest Lakeland is almost an hour away or I really wouldn’t have any money.
Since you are concerned Mr C may be concerned about how much you spent I’m going for something around £65.
I’m so in for this
I too spend a fortune in Lakeland I think the value of your bag is about 72.45
What a good idea! I think you spent £38.45.
I think there’s £83.73 in there – and I’m just glad there isn’t a Lakeland in walking distance – that would be dangerous…
I think there is £46.87
I have no idea but that back looks full of yummy goodies!
Only slightly less packed than the one I walked out with last week which set me back £70 – so I’ll go for £58.96!
I think it could be £48.63
How exciting!! My guess is £46.98.
My Lakeland is an hour away, thank goodness for my bank account!! I think your bag cost £67.98 ish!!!!!
How are you not totally skint with a Lakeland that close by?! I know I would be! I could happily spend a fortune in Lakeland so assuming you’re like me, my guess is £67. Fab competition! Thanks x
Oooo, £23.97, what an exciting mystery giveaway!
I very much hope that your bag full cost £47.50.
I am guessing at £62.50. love Lakeland.
£62.14. Love that you have to hide how much you spend from the hubby at Lakeland. So familiar
Hee hee, what fun. I am actually glad I can’t go to Lakeland so easily I would surely have to hide my spends. It could many anounts really couldn’t it. But thinking logically (you wouldn’t give away £100′s would you. So my guesstimate is £63.50. Bit random but you never know. I am a follower already but came here via twitter when I should have been working. Oops
My guess is £53.39
Thanks so much for the chance to win
x
Ergh…

Oh my oh my oh my – difficult one but how about £31.79
Love it!
My other half isn’t allowed to look at the bills when I come home from there either!
£72.46 – I need to visit soon to pick up some pizza trays.

I will guess at about £46.50 I love Lakeland too and they opened a shop in my hometown in the last couple of years
I can’t walk past without going in!!
I think it is about £69.99.
I still think you should be the face of Lakeland ! I’m always overwhelmed by the choice at Lakeland so usually don’t end up buying anything as the hubby/kids are trying to rush me out of there ! My guess : £45.86
Im guessing $100? I dont have a Lakeland here.Is this contest open to Canadian’s Pink Whisk?
Yes indeed, but as Lakeland don’t deliver there then the overseas prize is the equivalent value in Amazon vouchers – good luck! x
I’m guessing £57.06.
I hope I win! I never win anything boooo!
(
I’m guessing £72.36. I LOVE Lakeland, wouldn’t mind some goodies right now as there is no Lakeland near me, I have to order online and the last delivery I had from them, the delivery man ignored my instructions on how to get into our office, so no joke, he broke down the door! All that for some snowflake cookie cutters!
yikes!
Im guessing £64.57
i love lakeland x
Hiya.
I think you’ve spent £57.89!
Well done to the winner in advance!

My guess is £54.75. Saying that though I’d easily spend double that in there lol.
I think £132.97! I could easily spend that much in Lakeland! Well, add a couple zeros on the end and I could still spend that much but unfortunately I have to limit myself to a maximum of £10 per visit and not visit too regularly! xxx
I think you’ve spent around £93. 56 as you’re a little worried about what hubbie would think… Hope you had fun shopping.
hugs
Michelle
x
Er… £44 because it’s my favorite number and I’m guessing Mr C would be able to tolerate that
I am addicted to Lakeland too, i think you spent 63.00 pounds
£48.12
Hubbie would never let us live that near to a Lakeland but I love the challenge of unpacking their delivery boxes, recycling the packaging and storing my goodies before he gets home so I can ease them into his notice slowly!!
Hello Ruth
I’m going to guess £73.47 xx
£43.93 is my guess:-)
Gosh I’ve no idea so my random guess is £58.88
Is there one of those really cool apple peelers, corers and slicers in there? That would make life easier!
I’m guessing £41.23.
Hi Ruth,
You are so lucky living that close to a Lakeland, if I did, Mr B would seriously place me under a restraining order!! I am going to guess at £49.26
Knowing how bad I can be in Lakeland and I can come out with only one bag despite spending a fortune I’m gonna guess
£89.97
Ooh my guess is £68.75 x
My guess is £49.95
My guess £30.99
£39.50
I love this, its so random. I often spend a fortune but dont live very close to a Lakeland store so perhaps as you live close you dont spend so much in one go. Anyhow Im going to guess £57.69. Would love to know the contents of the bag after the comp ends.
Would I like to win a bag full of lakeland goodies?? ‘Oh, go on then!’ Lol!
My nearest Lakeland is over an hour away so only get to go when I’m visiting my mum. My husband sure knows it because I’m in their for hours lol!

Mines only 10 minutes away too, opposite the bank, so I pay money in to the bank and then go over the road and spend it in Lakeland! My guess is £39.75 x
Hmm I think it could be £37.95 as it is not a huge bag. Jealous as my nearest Lakeland is around 50 miles away

£47
What a lovely giveaway, thank you for your generosity. I’ve been buying from Lakeland for nearly 30 years and when I order from the catalogue it always seems to come in somewhere between £40-£50. So my guess is £43.98.

my guess is £44.32. Mu husband dispairs when he sees a delivery from lakeland, its my fave shop – 2 years ago we were in the lakes and persuaded the family to go to the headquarters… it was fab, although they didn’t appreciate being kept waiting for nearly 2 hours:-)
hi I think there is about £55.94 worth of goods in the bag. Hopefully I’ve guessed right and have the chance of some lovely goods. Thanks for the opportunity.

My Name is Jayne and I’m a Lakelandholic!!! So glad we dont have one too close otherwise i would be able to open my own shop. I reckon you spent £49.67 which for me would be a very restrained spend lol.

Mmm im thinking…. £38.52?
Complete shot in the dark but I’ll go for £84.00 but only cos I was born in 1984! I get told off for spending too much on baking stuff too… I wish people could understand that these things we buy are all vital and necessary and important and vital!

Oo, love Lakeland! I tend to get slightly frenzied when I go in and have to physically control myself or we would end up with the situation I have promised myself I will avoid after popping in for a piping nozzle at Christmas and ending up with so many cookie cutters they still haven’t all found homes in the baking cupboard!! My guess is… £68.29

I think £87.52
I know exactly what you mean – Lakeland is addictive! My guess is £45.25 x
I Love Lakeland goodies too. I’m guessing £44.94

I think its £53.27.x
Lakeland (and any kitchenware/cook shop for that matter) are fascinating places – you discover what’s missing in your kitchen every time you visit a shop! :0

Hi Ruth,
I don’t know how much the content of the bag cost but I love Lakeland products. So I had a price in my mind but then I changed it so I will guess the bag costs around £130.50
Thank you!

Me thinks about £56.50
Is it 63.75
My guess is £65.53!
I guess £45 as you can get a lot for your money from Lakeland.
Can I also say thank you Ruth as you inadvertently sorted out favours for my daughters wedding. we had been deliberating how we could get something quality without spending a fortune as budget is very stretched as we are nearly there now. When I entered the G&B competition from your site last week I spotted the wedding favours section on their site and we are now having 110 sets of 3 Grren and Blacks miniatures(combinations of our choosing), all tied beatifully with satin bows colour selected to match our theme, how lucky a find was that. they were just £1.80 each and look such a decorative favour and quite classy, thanks again Ruth, Diane x
Brilliant Diane – I saw those favours they look lovely! x
My (very hopeful) guess is £64.90 x
Erm…43.28 x
My guess is £56.12. Love a bit of Lakeland! x

I love The Pink Whisk, I’ve learned loads about baking, thanks and keep up the great work!
Hi,
I’m intrigued by the bag…now what’s in it?…goodies for sure…smile..

I guess £76.45.
£81.68, definitely. I know what you mean about Lakeland. I used to walk in the Lakes a few times a year (and possibly a few decades ago now!) and Lakeland was this amazing shop we could happily while away a few hours in when the weather was bad, just reading all the incredible uses for things we had never heard of was entertainment!
£46.95 ♥

£43.56
53.62 pounds, there is no Lakeland where I live but I will be in southampton for Easter so will look for the nearest. Been wanting to go for ages. Good luck to everybody, including me
£47.15 popped into my head when I looked at the bag, so I’m going with instinct.

Hi Ruth I absolutely love Lakeland. Thank you very much for giving me the chance to win some goodies. I am not very good at guessing so I will have a go(fingers crossed) and say £36.50
£62.26
£83.14? Complete stab in the dark. Oh I really hope I win – I can’t go on their website at the moment as I don’t trust myself and neither does my bank account!
if I go there, I have to take a list and a minder to save me from myself. maybe there is £50.10 in the bag
I think it’s £46.38!
I think £67.50, hopefully I’ll win this just in time for my birthday, which is the day the entries close!
