And that’s a wrap!

We would like to say a massive thank you to everyone that entered our madeby.studio ‘12 Days of Christmas’ Giveaway. It was a huge success and our team had a lot of fun developing the immersive web experience. We hope you enjoyed finding out more about what we got up to this past year. In case you missed it, feel free to check out the socials for our yearly highlights.

When hand selecting our prizes, we felt it was important to support local and independent businesses like ourselves. Not only do small businesses build a stronger economy - they build a stronger community. One of our goals at madeby.studio is to bring people closer and build meaningful relationships. It was great to have the chance to collaborate with so many local businesses and support their brands.

madeby.studio is also proactively committed to climate solutions. Given the ecological crisis we are currently facing, sustainability is always at the heart of our business decisions. So we decided that for entry we received in our giveaway, we would plant a tree! We are very pleased to announce that with your help, we planted 298 🎄.

If you didn’t manage to win a prize, here’s our prize list that you can use for last minute gift inspiration for your family and friends:

• Christmas Hamper from Bottle Chop, a natural wine bar based in Far Headingley Leeds. It’s also a great place to pick up a bottle of wine for your loved ones, and they even offer a refill system to save you a trip to the bottle bank!

• Berghaus fleece jacket (kindly gifted for our giveaway from our friends at Pentland Brands). A fleece or jumper will be the perfect for that Boxing Day walk.

• A print of their favourite spot in Leeds. Zacrosso is a studio favourite when it comes to illustrations and you can find his artwork exclusively available on Etsy (zacrosso.etsy.com)

• A hand poured festive scented soy candle from The York Candle Company. This sustainable candle is made with 100% natural and renewable soy wax, guaranteed to fill the house with winter aromas of pine and spice.

• Masons of Yorkshire Orange & Lime Leaf Gin purchased from Latitude, a local independent merchant with a brilliant selection of quality wine, spirits and specialist knowledge.

• A gift voucher for a dining experience. We chose an Afternoon Tea for Two at The Ivy as it can be redeemed at multiple locations.

• Bath Bomb Christmas Cracker from Bomb Cosemetics. A perfect gift to help you relax and reset before the new year.

• £25 Everyman Cinema gift card. With the kids off from school, this will provide a great family outing this Christmas or even a nice date night to escape them!

From Italian wine to Baci Perugina, an Italian hazelnut chocolate that is 100 years old, this gourmet hamper will be perfect for all the foodies out there. 

With ‘12 days of Christmas’ Giveaway coming to an end and Christmas just around the corner, the team at madeby.studio wish you all a very merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
