“Disbelief, shock and such excitement,” shares the 2019 winner Beulah Overmeyer, of how she felt when winning the Ultimate Mother’s Day Competition 2019. “When I received the call I thought it was a hoax! When I told my mom, she was just as sceptical in believing it and I think she really only believed me when the Volvo was delivered!”
What did Beulah and her mom, Regina Losper, win? An incredible prize package valued at R200, 000! It consisted of:
WINE FOR A YEAR from Warwick Wine Estate; A 52-week UCOOK subscription; a Volvo XC40 to drive for six months; A year’s worth of monthly #brunchdates with mum (12 x R1000 vouchers) courtesy of Life Grand Café; a trip to Mauritius thanks to Travelstart, with a package that includes flights and seven nights’ accommodation for two.
For Beulah and her mom this was not only a dream come true, but a well-deserved spoil: “I appreciate that my mom is so giving and always puts our needs and those of her grandchildren before herself,” says Beulah. “She is a strong woman who has taught us good values; yet she’s still very hip and has such a sense of humour!” The highlight she says of her trip to Mauritius was a catamaran cruise to Gabrielle Island. “It was breathtaking! The sea really is so blue and the tropical weather was so relaxing.”
Another highlight for for her and her mom have been the year’s supply of Warwick Wines. “We enjoyed the First Lady Cabernet Sauvignon and it made our suppers very entertaining since my sisters made sure that they joined us on those evenings! My mom now sees herself as a connoisseur in fine wines thanks to Warwick. Friends of ours also enjoyed the first taste of Warwick wines and they now refuse to try any other wines.”
Beulah loved picking her mom up in the Volvo XC40 for shopping trips and lunches. “We enjoyed our long drives to the West Coast. Our daughter Gabby, loved the sound system so much that she now has the same brand of sound system!”
Imagine not having to cook for a year? That’s just what conspired with the 52-week UCOOK subscription. “It was so convenient having meals delivered,” enthuses Beulah. “It showed me that one should be adventurous when cooking and trying new things. Cooking for your loved ones is really an expression of your love for them! My mom loved making the UCOOK meals and would call me saying what recipe she is trying out next. She looked forward to seeing what meals will be delivered and what new combinations she can test on us!”
Then, the final part of the prize from Life Grand Café was also greatly appreciated. “My mom fell in love with this restaurant! We had my mom’s 70th birthday there with family. Memories to treasure were made.”
Finishes Beulah: “Winning this prize with my mom was such a blessing! Thanks to all the partners for making this an amazing experience.”
