12 days of Christmas



A very Acumen Christmas…

Tinsel at the ready, we’re officially kicking off our most wonderful Christmas tradition: 12 Days of Acumen’s Christmas Giveaways!

The legendary (yes, we’re calling it that now) 12 Days of Christmas competition has returned. It’s become a firm favourite with many of you and let’s be honest, it wouldn’t feel like Christmas without a few prizes flying around!

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.


How to enter:



  • Check your inbox (or this page!) each morning for the daily festive prompt.
  • Email your answer directly to Abi by 4.30pm each day
  • Cross your fingers and wait for "you are a winner!" email!


What’s up for grabs?

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.
