We're smiling as pass each other on the street - hell, we're passing each other on the street full stop! Offices are slowly filling up with colleagues eager to chat and catch up. We're going to sleep with feelings of genuine hope and, dare we say it, even excitement for the year ahead, as opposed to the Covid-induced dread that used to engulf us before bed.
The remainder of 2022 seems to promise many of the little things we took for granted in pre-pandemic life: festivals, holidays abroad, big nights out, barbeques, house parties and pub crawls.
Before you become distracted with the task of filling your calendar however, we would invite you to take a moment to consider if there may have been one individual in your life without whom you could not have survived the slog of lockdowns and restrictions over the past two years.
Now, if only there was a way to reward that special someone for their unwavering comradery and support. How would you even go about expressing your gratitude for such a service?
Well, winning them a sweet €2,500 in spending cash for the year seems like a pretty good place to start we reckon?
To celebrate us emerging from the 2020/2021 dog days of the pandemic, we've teamed up with Humm, Ireland's best buy now, pay later platform, to give you the chance to bestow precisely that kind of good fortune upon a friend, family or loved one who you believe truly deserves it.
Together with Humm, we're running a competition which aims to reward an ordinary person with an extra-ordinary cash prize. The competition offers LADbible readers the opportunity to gift someone in their life who may not otherwise get the recognition they deserve for helping those around them get through the last two years.
The best part of all is that it's incredibly simple to get involved. Simply comment on the Instagram post below, tag the friend or loved one you believe truly deserves this prize and explain why your nominee deserve to win.
You'll need to make sure you're following us @LADBIBLEIRELAND and @SHOPHUMMIE too, but that's the easy part!
The competition closes on 6th April 2022 so you better get your thinking cap on as to who in your life deserves a little extra joy and good fortune sprinkled on their 2022.
Perhaps it's the best friend who kept you sane with regular Zoom calls and Netflix watch parties throughout the various lockdowns? Or your parent or sibling who managed to get you out of your house for yet another walk, thus reminding you there was in fact life beyond the four walls of your bedroom?
It could even be a colleague or a classmate that kept a smile on your face with their consistently hilarious Instagram stories moaning about the government - the possibilities are endless!
Oh, and one last thing - don't forget to check out the T&Cs of the competition before entering below.
