    Mine was a Crayola shark fins drawing case.

    That was maybe around 10 or so years ago?

    It was an effort comp with the times and i had to draw something (can't remember what.) I think my parents thought i was just wasting my time when i asked them for a stamp so i could post it :rotfl:

    I was so happy when a parcel arrived for me out the blue!

    Mine was a ski holiday about 4 weeks after I started comping x
    I was at work when I got the email and I remember a colleague telling me it was a scam, luckily it wasn't and we had a fab time x

    This was mine too followed by a Mars football. Got better for me too but I still remember the thrill of winning the chocolate.

    Thanks everyone who posts comps.
