If you’re eagle-eyed, you’ll know this has been in the wings since the beginning of February, I was struggling to sleep and had been continuously moaning about it on social media, sorry followers. A girls gotta get her sleep.
Luckily Holland & Barrett stumbled upon one of my many moany posts and contacted me about trying some of their products, of course I said yes. I was a zombie at that point so I’d have said yes to sedation!
Lucky you though, I cheekily asked if I could grab a goodie bag for my readers, that “goodie bag” turned into a £100 give-away bag. Don’t ask don’t get!
I treat you so well!
So you lovely lot are in to win;
A Holland & Barrett Good sleep goodie bag worth £100!!

- A Bag of Creamy Camomile Hot Chocolate £4.99
- A box of Camomile Tea £2.50

You can find out what I thought of the products in my previous article, where I received the goodies.
or if you want to hear what I have to say you can watch one of my Vlogs;
I’ve loved every product that I’ve tried, obviously I have my favourites.. like the hot chocolate and the lemon balm capsules and obviously I have things I’m yet to try. Herbal teas, I’m just not one for herbal teas though, personal preference, you’ll have to let me know what you think of these products…
It’s up to you, you’ve got to be in it to win it!
The winner will be announced on PurelyAmy’s Facebook on the 19th of March at Mid-Day! (GMT)
The winner has been announced!
Of course these are all here to give you the best nights sleep so try one at a time, something suited to your lifestyle. I don’t like taking supplements during the day as I don’t know what my next move is going to be. If I take a stress reliever or relaxant before a jog, I wouldn’t be very productive!
So try a few things at a time and find out what works for you.
My personal favourite is the creamy chamomile cocoa, It’s easy to drink and you always have time before bed time.
I’m not really one for cocoa but there’s something vanilla esque about this drink, it’s so creamy and soothing. I froth mine up with milk frother and dust it with cocoa (when I’m not on a chocolate ban). I drink it regularly so you’ll often see snaps of me in bed with a cup-a-cocoa 🙂
Have you tried any of these before? What are your favourites?
As mentioned, I received these as a good-will gesture and have been gifted the Giveaway prize for free.Please read all of the Terms & Conditions before entering. UK Only.
*Whilst most of the products are herbal based, I have not tried 5-HTP as I have done my own research on the product and believe it won’t be ‘the best’ for me. Please research what your body needs for your own ‘best purpose’ and seek medical advice before taking anything you’re unsure about.
****silence**** =)
To be fair I am ok with the silence but have to totally agree with your minute silence countdown! I thought it was only me haha!
Haha! Thank you 🙂 I was waiting in a line today saying the exact same things..
This would be great for me!! I defiantly need to sleep better than i do!! I’m trying to cut back on coffee 🙂
great night in would be if there was finay something good on tv lol
Fab giveaway, thanks for the chance to win! I’d be thrilled to win as I struggle with sleep, my idea of a great night in would be peace and quiet, candles, soft music and just pampering my body and soul, following my heart attack and numerous infections this is a high priority for me this year
Oh dear! Looks like you really do need a nice relaxing sleep (and a good lie in) xx
Good luck Christine!
This is a great giveaway thanks – I’m trying to cut back on my tea drinking so looking for no caffeine from around 3pm!
Oh Sue, I’ve done the same thing! All week i’ve been a zombie so I sent my self to bed early last night and I’ve only had one coffee today!
– Good luck with it, and the giveaway!
Off on a nightshift tonight
Lovely giveaway 🙂 Thankyou so much for the chance x
What a great giveaway I find it so hard to sleep with anxiety and stress so this would be amazing thanks for the chance x
A great night in is laying on the sofa with my hubby and kids watching a family film and eating lots of bad snacks
Haha I’ll let you have the nice sofa and a family film but naughty snacks? Tut tut Kirtsy! This is a healthy site! x 🙂 Good luck 🙂
I’m entering this for my dear mum as she is a terrible sleeper and needs all the help she can get!
I fancy trying the lemon balm capsules but I’m interested in quite a few of the others too- more from a calming and relaxing point of view than a need to sleep one, although hubby struggles with sleep so we could share. May check out the holland and barrett website for these products.
You’d share? Lucky hubby! I kept mine all to myself! Well, actually I gave one of the boxes of teas to his mum, hopefully she’ll be more relaxed..
Id love to try the lavender sleep mist and temple balm, a lovely natural way to aid sleep
lovely giveaway xxxx
What a lovely prize, Like many others I do struggle to get to sleep at night and usually struggle to stay awake during the day.
This is a fab giveaway just what we need. 🙂
This sounds like heaven to me, i don’t sleep very well at all so to be able to try different route’s would be wonderful thank you Amy for giving this fantastic sleep set away!!
Fab prize – I struggle to get to sleep at night, mainly because I find it hard to switch off my brain!
My idea of a great night in would be Disney movies and wine!
A long relaxing bath and music helps before bed.
my idea of a great night out is going for a very long walk and a picnic in a remote filed, watching the stars
That sounds amazing Barbara, I wanted to do that last year but living in such a big city I rarely get to see stars!
For someone (like me) who doesnt sleep so well this is a great giveaway
A great night would be free from the sound of snoring!
what a lovely giveaway!

My ideal evening is a cuddle on the sofa with hubby and watch a good movie.
