Kleenex loves Australian bloggers

Giveaway Now Closed!!

The winners are Mum-me and Amy
Congrats ladies xx

If you are a blogger in Australia you will know that Kleenex loves and supports bloggers. Kleenex even has a Kleenex Mum's website devoted to helping mothers through their motherhood journey. There is a wonderful group of Mummy bloggers who write for this site and I always enjoy reading the wisdom and experience they have to share.

Knowing this information about Kleenex I contacted them to see if they were interested in helping me celebrate 1000 followers on my blog. I don't know about your family, but in our family...we go through a heck of a lot of toilet paper...many butts to wipe = many toilet rolls!

I thought that it might be a great help to some families to win some toilet paper and to help save on the sometimes big expense of food shopping...imagine if you could put that money saved towards something for yourself or even a day out for your family. What a blessing and what fun!

Well, I was absolutely blown away with the reply to my email.
Here is what happened:


1. At first I was speechless
2. Next I got excited!
3. I started planning of what fun I could have.

Now to let you know why I was so shocked:


4. To help  me celebrate Kleenex has given me 1000 toilet rolls to giveaway!
1000 followers = 1000 toilet rolls. Yes, that is a lot of toilet paper!
Crazy? Insane? Totally!!!

5. So, what do you think? Do you want it? Do you want to win your family some toilet paper?
I know I would!!!

Now let me tell you a little about Kleenex and the giveaway guidelines:

The toilet paper we have to win is from the Kleenex Cottonelle range. Kleenex has a variety of choices available to choose from to suit your personal needs and I love that Kleenex promotes the sustainable management of forests and has achieved FSC certification: the highest possible standard for responsible forest management. 

This in turn has led to Kleenex Cottonelle earning the support of WWF. So when you buy Kleenex Cottonelle Toilet Paper you can be confident that you are doing your bit to help the environment.

Here are some of the choices available to win:




Now, 1000 rolls of toilet paper is a lot of toilet paper to win. So I have decided to divide it up and to have 2 winners with 500+ rolls of toilet paper each. Depending on the size of your family will depend on how long it lasts for you. It works out to be at least 2 years worth of toilet paper for your family and an awesome prize!

Kleenex is also allowing you to pick which type of toilet paper you would like from the above range and if storage is a problem they will also stagger the delivery for you. Seriously...so helpful!

Giveaway Guidelines:
1. Add yourself as a follower on my blog
2. Open to Aussie residents only
3. Winners chosen by the random number generator
4. Entries close November 10th, 2011
5. Leave a comment below to enter and tell me:

Do you scrunch or do you fold?

So Mum's, get your mummy on and show me how good you look as a mummy!

  1. You're a giggle-maker Naomi and I too am staggered by Kleenex's generosity.

    It staggers me how much toilet paper a family of five can go through and I would love to win this prize although I think we'd probably go through it in less than a year...I know!

    On a more personal note, I'm a folder and like to have the paper so that the loose sheet is on top - away from the wall...just in case you wondered.

    Happy day & congratulations!!!!

  7. I'm a bit of both, i fold most days but there is the occasional scrunch in there too!
    500 rolls would be a great thing in this house, with a toilet training son and another who will start toilet training in 6ish months (well hopefully anyway)
    Awesome giveaway!

  10. I'm a total folder and all my kids are scrunchers... Even Harry has gotten in on the action and if one of the bigger kids leaves the door open he loves to go in there and see how much of the roll he can get down there!!

    ReplyDelete
  11. That is brilliant Naomi!! Love the photos. lolz. I'm a definite scruncher...always have been, always will be. Hubs on the other hand is a roller and I just don't understand! hehe.

  13. Wow, what a prize!

    Personally I'm a folder, as is Miss 11-teen (gosh I hope she never reads this she'd be mortified that I'm telling people)... but Mr 7 is a scruncher and is the biggest 'consumer' of loo paper in our home too!

  22. I'm a bit OCD when it comes to loo paper!

    First I roll it three times around my fingers, then I slide it off, press it down into a fold, and then grip it with a bit of a scrunch.

    My daughter counts out 4 pieces each time she needs to use the loo...

    We're a bit weird here.

    ReplyDelete
  23. CONGRATS! Amazing. I read your posts often and always enjoy myself when I am here. I am a scruncher. Cheers SpecialK xx

  26. ooooh my thoughts exactly....toilet paper....we have three toilets and go through so much of it.

    My second thought was.....1000 rolls, how many houses could I decorate with that and how many people could I wrap in that (....I once wrapped a friend in TP as she lay sleeping in her bed...yes the bed and all - the joys of Women's Camp).

    Personally, I'm a scruncher - saves time when there are two little people trying to bust in and be nosey, I don't have time to fold ;)

  36. TOILET PAPER ... what an awesome giveaway!! I love it .... I'm always running out of toilet paper in my house and end up using tissues, so this would totally work for me. I think I have a toilet paper gremlin in my house who comes in an steals it in the night. Thanks Kleenex for the giveaway. By the way I'm a folder.

  38. Awesome post and WOW at that many rolls - where would you store 1000 rolls?! 500 is going to be bad enough! LOL.

    I'm a folder, as is hubby, but our son has just started toilet training and is a scruncher, and our daughter will be starting in the next month or so and appears to be a scruncher as well (the one or two times she's copied her brother to date). I hate to think of how much we're going to 'waste' with the two of them training at the same time! Yikes!

  43. Folder! More control LOL

    ReplyDelete
  44. Folder.

    But wanted to also tell you that I toilet trained my two year old with the 'doggies' paper...2 dogs allowed only. This stopped her using half a roll per wee!

    But now, she is addicted to the stuff, if we go somewhere she asks where the dogs are, doesn't want to use the stuff with no doggies! So if we are lucky enough to win this one, will will need some doggy paper!!

    ReplyDelete
  45. Folder here. Scrunching is way too hit & miss for my liking. I wouldn't want to encounter a gap!

  64. Wow, what an incredible prize!
    It really is amazing how excited a mum can be about saving money on toilet paper :)
    I am a folder, and am trying to teach Miss 2 how to fold (while she throws it down the toilet), but I know a certain man in our house likes to scrunch... No wonder we go through so much!

  76. Congrats Naomi on your 1000.

    I'm a scruncher but I can't help being a little confused by so many people saying they don't have time to fold... don't they know they're going to need the paper when they're done? Is anybody really that quick on the loo that they don't have time to fold while taking care of business. I think maybe it's time to employ those multi-tasking skills.

    Thanks for having this very practical give-away. It'd be put to good use in this house!

    To fold or not fold , that is the question.

  88. Heidi JohnsonOctober 27, 2011

    Since I started getting rashes and irritations from toilet papers many years ago; I was trying every new toilet paper that came out and one day came across "Kleenex Cottonelle" and have never bought anything else since as it is the only one that doesn't irritate my skin. BUT it is not always a feasible option with a family budget so I try to buy it in bulk when it is on special. I would love the opportunity to win some toilet rolls and help ease our budget burden a little. Thank you for the chance.

    ReplyDelete
  89. I'm an obsessive folder. I have to have the sheets folded along the perforation and then any extra tail has to be tucked in.

    I don't understand how my kids are scrunchers though! ARGH! I have to leave the room when they start to get the loo paper.

    With 2 kids already toilet trained and plans to train Miss 3 this summer, we could really do with heaps more loo paper! (And I already buy Cottonelle because it's the only one that doesn't make my bottom raw!)

    What a big question to answer and rather personal.
    Number Ones = folding. Number Twos = Scrunching. I know this is probably too much info but you did ask! Thank you to you and thank you to Kleenex.

    ReplyDelete
  99. Oh my gosh, I think I just died a little with happiness on finding this. This would end a massive fight in my house, my husband (apparently) doesn't use toilet paper in our house because he 'holds it' until he gets to work (so considerate of him!) so this would get him off my back about our toilet paper expenses.

    Oh...and totally a scruncher!

  119. Dawn.........A folder, surrounded by a family of scrunchers. When the children were younger and the budget was really strict, I used to say if ever in our life money is not quite so tight, I'm going to buy nice toilet paper and free range eggs. Well now the children are grown and left home and kleenex cotonelle is the only toilet paper we buy, and we eat free range eggs. claudine55@internode.on.net

  122. I tend to go with a half scrunch half fold combo. There are other things more 'important' to me in my toilet paper usage. It has to be white - no pictures of ducks or seahorses for this little bot bot. Also it has to roll from underneath not over the top!!! I find myself switching other people's rolls to the 'correct' rolling direction all the time. Cuckoo!!!
