What kind of Comps do you apply for?

gregorypeck

cash electronics and stuff family would use. I leave dvds and holidays to people that want them. I like the simple to enter as im lazy and avoid FB comps as I dont want to pi$$ of my friends with all the crap

i enter for all sorts of diff things/prizes :j
prizes all come in handy for grandkids/family/friends/friends lo's/
birthdays/xmas/ etc, always manage to find a good home for a prize :j
& donate to raffles/animal charities/local fete's/ etc to help them raise for a good cause if it's a doubled up prize ie as in won two of the same prize :j

It really depends on my level of enthusiasm that day Some days I'm in the zone entering everything and some days I feel much more selective.

Obviously I don't enter for things not relevant to me like tickets for things not in my area, baby things or fishing things etc but other than that I'll enter for most things and give them a try/give them away or give to my kids' school raffle to help out.

That's a good mentality :A Nice to see

I enter things that I either want or can give as gifts to family/friends - I don't enter ones that will incur costs such as tickets/holidays

I enter things that I or my DH would like or that I can give as presents.

I also fundraise for a wildlife rescue charity that DH works for so I donate a lot of prizes for their raffles, tombolas etc and give them things they can use e.g. a couple of years ago I won £200 of exterior paint that they used to re-paint their animal A&E. We donate a ladies pampering hamper as a major raffle prize every year and (so far!) have managed to completely fill it with cosmetics and perfume I've won throughout the year.

DH also fundraises for his cricket club so we enter for things that would be good for their raffles.

I find a lot of the pleasure in winning is in giving away the wins, knowing they'll make someone happy or raise money for a good cause.

Thats lovely SueMaggie. Good for you.

Thinking I might need to do similar. Hadn't thought of entering comps where I could donate the prize to various things.

I enter for things I would like, or could give as presents to the family for xmas.

I am entering for holidays that can be used after August next year as a honeymoon me and OH are getting married August next year and don't think we can afford a honeymoon at the moment so that's something we're really aiming for

I don't usually enter ticket comps but I did win Leeds tickets on the Gaymers FB page (didn't expect to!) but I can't go as I can't get time off work (I have to work on Saturday and BH Monday) so I've given them to a couple of friends to use so they don't get wasted

Things I need.
Things I would Like (gadgets...spa days...)
Things my Bf would like
Things My parents would like
Things I could use as presents (Christmas...birthday)

And then things I could donate - such as dog food.

I enter cat competitions as my BF's family have one.

I can't enter holiday ones as I don't have the money to pay for travel, along with things like short breaks.

I don't enter baby ones, Im not planning on children any time soon, neither know anyone who has any.

I dislike it when people enter for the sake of saying 'I've won' When they say 'I don't need this....' when there are people who would love to have won.

I enter for anything I'd like to win, that my husband would like or my children. Also things I think family members or friends would like so they can be used as birthday and christmas gifts.
