For twelve festive days in December starting on the 1st, we’ll be sending out a daily Christmas-themed question. Nothing too tricky, nothing too taxing just enough to justify a quick email to Abi while pretending you’re “deep in project work.”
Each day, one lucky winner will receive a prize, (think office-friendly treats that guarantee you’ll be everyone’s favourite colleague.) And to round things off, Day 12 comes with a big one: a £250 charity donation made in the winner’s name.
It’s fun, it’s festive, it mildly overwhelms Abi’s inbox… and it helps us give back to the people who make our year.
🎄 Today’s question:
Where did St Nicholas originate from?
🎁 Today’s prize:
A Christmas gift hamper from M&S.
Over the 12 days, we’re giving away a mix of festive treats designed to spark joy, fill up office snack drawers, and earn you a suspicious amount of goodwill from your teammates. Each daily winner bags something different, from indulgent food bundles to gift vouchers you definitely won’t spend on printer ink.
Here’s a little taste of what’s on offer:
🎁 Sweet treats & snack boxes
Cupcakes, chocolate hampers, brownie bites… basically enough sugar to keep your whole team buzzing until January.
🎁 Office-friendly gifts that make you popular
Think festive hampers, movie-night sets, and those shareable goodies that mysteriously vanish from the office kitchen within minutes.
🎁 Gift vouchers
Love2Shop, Ticketmaster – perfect for last-minute gifting, spontaneous evenings out, or pretending you always had plans.
🎁 A splash of luxury
Including the Fortnum & Mason champagne and chocolate gift box… because you deserve a little sparkle.
And on Day 12, we go big:
£250 donated to a charity of your choice, shining a festive spotlight on a cause that matters to you. It’s our favourite prize of the lot.
Whether you’re here for the treats, the bragging rights, or the chance to make a real difference, there’s something for everyone under the Acumen Christmas tree.
