Win A Trip to the Peaks District, England
A Quiet Luxury Escape for Someone Who Needs It
A magical holiday giveaway — because sometimes you need someone else to plan the good stuff
I’m giving away a spot on our December trip to the Peaks District — because someone out there needs a curated, no-stress escape. And this one’s good.
Here’s what this trip is:
A small group of people (new friends who are warm, funny, but know when to give space)
Crackling fireplaces, Christmas lights, charming English estates, and unadulterated English holiday whimsy
Slow mornings. Long walks. Good food. Thoughtful details.
And a seat saved just for someone who needs an English countryside holiday moment
What’s included:
A full trip spot (lodging, transportation, activities, most meals - everything listed in the itinerary). Value: ~$3,000-4,000 USD
A tastefully curated itinerary that blends cozy luxury with character and holiday wonder
No decision fatigue. No chaos. Just show up and breathe.
What’s not included:
Airfare to the UK
Anything not listed in the itinerary
Passport and UK Electronic Travel Authorization
Can I bring a guest?
Yes — if you win, you can bring a companion but they’ll need to purchase their own spot (only 1 spot will be included in the giveaway). You’re also welcome come solo and let us handle the rest.
How do I enter?
Simple. Head to the link in bio and drop your name, email, and address (needed to verify residency). That’s it.
No reposting, no tagging 7 friends, no jumping through hoops. Just sign up, and you’re in. No strings attached.
Timeline:
Entries open/close: August 19 at midnight to August 26 at midnight (CT)
Winner announced: August 27 via email. Winner will have 1 week to confirm their availability. If you cannot come for any reason, I will select another name at random from the sign up sheet. Please make sure you check your spam folder to make sure my emails are NOT going to spam.
Winner Details:
Important Info Before You Enter
If you're selected as the winner, you'll need to confirm your spot within 7 days (by September 3, 2025). If we don’t hear from you by then or if you can’t go for any reason, we’ll randomly draw another name from the list until we have a confirmed traveler. No exceptions.*
Before entering, please double-check:
– You have a valid passport (or can get one quickly)
– You’re fully available for the travel dates: December 7–11, 2025
– You’ve factored in travel time and read the trip details
This is a real trip, with real plans, and real people counting on it being wonderful. Make sure you’re ready before tossing your name in the hat.
*PLEASE make sure you check your spam folder. We are not responsible for missed emails.
Emergency Cancellation Policy:
Life happens. We get it. If the giveaway winner has an unexpected emergency and can no longer attend the trip, here’s how we’ll handle it:
The winner must notify us no later than 14 days before departure (by November 23, 2025) if they’re unable to travel.
If they cancel before that date, we will randomly select a new winner from the original giveaway sign-up list.
If the winner cancels less than 14 days before departure, we will not be able to fill the spot. In that case, the trip will continue with one less traveler.
The giveaway spot is non-transferable — meaning the original winner cannot pass it along to a friend, family member, or co-worker (unless previously cleared in writing).
This ensures a fair process for everyone and helps us keep the trip running smoothly for all guests.
Why are you doing this?
Because generosity shouldn’t be a rare thing. It’s something I genuinely believe in and that’s at the core of this brand. You’ve trusted me with your time, your inbox, and your travel plans, and this giveaway is my way of saying thank you—plain and simple. No catch, no fluff. Just a sincere, one-off way to share a little good in the world. If it feels right, I’d love to make it a yearly thing.
Questions?
See below. If you still have questions, my email is always open.
FAQs
Who can enter?
Any US resident 18+ who is eligible to travel to the UK in December 2025. You must have a valid passport and UK Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) before travel.
Can I share this with a friend?
You absolutely can! In fact, please do. Just make sure they are aware of all terms and conditions and that they enter via the email sign-up link. 1 entry is allowed per person. We want the winner to be someone who’s genuinely excited and ready to travel.
Will the winner get the same trip experience as paying guests?
Without question. The winner receives the exact same cozy, curated, no-compromise experience as every other traveler. This isn’t a discount or a stripped-down version, it’s the full package.
What if I’m already on your email list?
Still gotta sign up! This form is just for the giveaway, so even if you already get my emails (hi, I love you), you’ll need to drop your info here to be officially entered.
Will this giveaway lower the experience or value for paying guests?
Not even a little bit. This trip remains the thoughtfully curated, small group experience it’s always been. Nothing changes. The giveaway is a one-time thank you, not a discount bin. And only I (and the winner) will know who received the spot. Every guest, paid or gifted, gets the same level of care, attention, and cozy magic that makes this trip feel like a holiday dream straight out of a Jane Austen novel.
How is the winner selected?
Totally at random. Once entries close, I’ll download the full sign up list and use a random name selector to choose the winner.
What if I don’t win?
I’m always planning new trips/events and sharing exclusive offers an via email so stay signed up, and the next perfect getaway might be just around the corner. You are free to opt of of the monthly(ish) newsletter anytime after the giveaway closes.
Is this a bold move for a small brand?
Maybe. But here’s the thing: I didn’t start this to play it safe.
This trip and this brand are about generosity, trust, and details that matter. I’ve been lucky to grow a community that pays attention, values good taste, and lets me plan the kind of travel that reflects a very specific (and slightly obsessive) point of view.
This giveaway is a way of honoring that.
It’s not a gimmick. It’s a thank you. A real one. And I hope it’s the first of many.
