With most of the world stuck in isolation, things can get pretty boring. Vegging out on your couch watching Netflix is fun for a while but after binging on Tiger King and all your favourite ’90s movies, things can start to get a little stale.
Because self-isolation is the best time for self-care, we’ve teamed up with eight incredible brands for eight days of giveaways. Each of the brands featured is offering up things you can do while social distancing, whether it be learning how to make pasta, working out on a mini trampoline, or fixing up your home.
From Tuesday, March 31 to Thursday, April 9, you’ll be able to get your hands on prizes valued at up to $450. To enter, Canadian residents (excluding Québec) can head to StyleDemocracy’s Instagram, find the prize photo, follow the brand, like the picture, and tag a friend or two — it’s that easy! Winners will be contacted by Instagram direct message on the dates specified below.
Note: Due to delays with Canada Post, some prizes may have longer delivery dates. The winners will be notified as shipments are confirmed.
