8 Of The Top Things People Will Try To Give Up For Lent In 2016

So we're one week into possibly the hardest time of the year for some; Lent. Every year people tell themselves they will give something up, be it sweets, coffee or even Social Media. But how many of you can say you've successfully lasted the entire 40 days? We'd be impressed if you have!

Giving up something you enjoy in life is tough, but every year brings the same opportunity to attempt it. The most popular items you lot are giving up this year are shown below, giving us insight into what you consider a luxury. If you were offered chocolate as a promotional gift at a trade show, would you avoid it or take it? If you yourselves were giving up sweets, would that then stop you from giving them away to promote your business?

Those of you who have willpower enough to give up one of life's little luxuries for a full 40 days, we salute you! There's no way we're giving up coffee...
