Random delivery from Boots

Hi

Need some advice from people who might be able to shed some light. My partner has just received a wee box from Boots the chemist. Inside there is a Fearne Cotton Red Lip Kit. What is strange is I know she orI never entered any competition for something like this. It has Boots paperwork with a delivery note. But the note has someone's name I do not know and also it has how much the item cost.

Can anyone advise??

Thanks

    Usually, a delivery note enclosed in a prize are the details of whichever promoter who purchased the item. I've had loads of those enclosed with the amount of the item but never had to pay. It's probably a runner-up prize or summat ;)

    With a bit more investigation, a phone call to Boots.com who told me the company who ordered it and then me calling this company it turns out to be the Imperial Leather fb shower of kindness from November.

    It was really random as there was no company name in the delivery note and just a man's name on the order form. Plus it was a very random prize rom the competition
