In the true tradition of Halloween, many folks will be munching (or scooping) Pumpkins and then carving the empty shells into a vast selection of frightening and exciting shapes as a way of enjoying this remarkably odd holiday.

As a tribute to this tradition we want to encourage everyone to really have a good crack at making the best Pumpkin carving that they can. As an incentive we are offering a brand spanking new James Martin blender for the best Pumpkin carving. Read on to have a chance of winning…

Because this is essentially a holiday and meant to be enjoyable we have decided to keep the rules of this competition really straight forward. But before we get onto the part where we explain how you can win, lets take a moment to see what is up for grabs this time around:

It’s a powerful 2-Speed Hand Blender from the James Martin Collection. Great for mixing, blending, chopping and pureeing. This powerful 2-speed hand blender by Wahl & The James Martin Collection contains all you need for a great kitchen accessory and comes with an included recipe book.

Includes mini chopper- chops in seconds meat, vegetables, herbs, dry fruit etc. It has a space saving wall mountable bracket, and to top it all off, the blender comes with a Stainless Steel 500ml beaker for mixing and blending with a super lid for storage.
