Parcel Genie- Send an Online Chum an Actual Christmas Present, Without Even Needing Their Address- With an Exclusive 40% Off for World of Kitsch Readers

/

Parcel Genie is a genius little app which allows you to 'text' a gift to a friend, without having to even pester them for their address. I've shared Parcel Genie with you before, but they've offered The World of Kitsch readers 40% off one gift until 17th February, so you can ping a pal a present easily and cheaply this holiday season.

How it works is you purchase a gift through the app, which you can download from www.ParcelGenie.com and enter your friend's mobile number. Parcel Genie then text them to ask them to accept the gift and supply their address for postage. Simple!

Use the code L25KIK (capital i, in the kik part) to get your 40% off.

Merry Christmas!

Ladbrokes Challenge The World of Kitsch- Do Lucky Charms Work?

/

Does luck exist? Can trinkets or magical items change the outcome of of events? Of course not, no, but it is worth a HIGHLY SCIENTIFIC investigation by myself on behalf of Ladbrokes? YES.

Ladbrokes sent me a box of lucky bits & bobs, armed me with Casino credit and set me loose on Ladbrokes.

Unfortunately I can't get my head around poker, but I spied Roulette & reckoned I could manage 'red or black' easily enough.

First up was the lucky golden cat. Will kissing his shiny brow bring me a winning bet? I put a bet on red and won. 

Conclusion: lucky cats DEFINITELY work. I didn't repeat the experiment but obviously this ground-breaking scientific  result will be the subject of papers for years to come.

NEXT! Little teeny, tiny horseshoe necklace.

I placed my bet, spun again & lost. 

Conclusion: although lucky, this horseshoe was freakishly small, so didn't contain the full strength of magical powers. Obviously.

The next lucky item was a box of Lucky Charms. You know I love my imported American food, so this was my favourite item in Ladbrokes' box of tricks. 
My luck was out though. Because the goodies arrived last week, it seems a certain five year old has eaten all my Lucky Charms. Maybe rubbing his belly would bring luck, but he's at school, so I held the enchanted cardboard box & placed my bets.

I won again this time. 

Conclusion: no idea. Cardboard boxes are lucky?

Last spin, and it's the turn of the lucky four leaf clover. Although not planted or grown, the seeds must be lucky too, right?

Conclusion: nope, the seeds aren't lucky. Unless maybe you combine holding the seeds with stroking a Leprechaun's beard at the same time to condense the luck.

Do lucky charms work? Not in my eyes. 
Does my son like Lucky Charms cereal? Too much. 
Is playing roulette on Ladbrokes easy for a beginner like me? Certainly. 
Do I have a career as a professional gambler? No. 

Maybe if I'd had a lucky rabbit's foot..... 
Next time.
