Time to feel all warm and cosy inside – it’s the John Lewis Christmas TV ad 2014!

Move over Meerkats, its time to pick up a penguin with the 2014 John Lewis Christmas TV advert capturing the hearts of the nation – just as it does every year. And in case you’ve just arrived from another planet and not seen the ad yet, here it is:

This time it’s the turn of seven year old Sam who gradually comes to the realisation that his best friend Monty, who happens to be a penguin, would love nothing more than a soul mate. On Christmas morning Monty’s dream comes true when under the Christmas tree is Mabel, an equally cute little lady penguin…

…except then when Sam’s mum walks into the room we see the scene through her eyes and Monty and Mabel are toy penguins after all! And sure enough, John Lewis’s collection of Monty and Mabel merchandise sold out within minutes of it being released on-line.

But here at Intotheblue.co.uk we can do one better than that, with the chance to adopt a real penguin – and not just for Christmas, but the whole year!

Our penguin adoption packs give you a photo of your pampered Humboldt penguin, an adoption certificate and tickets to see them swimming around in their lovely little pool at their Sea Life centre home – or you can use the tickets to go to any Sea Life centre in the country.

So yes, we know the John Lewis fluffy penguins toys are cute, but at £95 each and already sold out, we think adopting a proper penguin has got to be a worthy winner and at only 20 of your hard-earned pounds, it’s a bargain too, so isn’t it time you p-p-p-p-p-picked up a proper penguin today?
