So as we've only got 7 weeks til Xmas I was wondering what all you compers are hoping to win by then to help out with Xmas? I spend hours everyday doing competitions and have not won much recently or anything that I can use for Xmas yet so I've got everything crossed that the hours spent comping will pay off in the lead up to Xmas & help me out with my Xmas present list, as I'm due my baby after Xmas & can't face waddling round the shops Xmas shopping.

My Xmas wish list;
A food hamper (as I hate food shopping)
Vouchers
Beauty products/perfume
A new couch (dream on)
Cd's/Dvd's/books
Not forgetting the the most wished for; cash / holiday.

What I have won present wise so far;
Kids book
Book

Good luck everyone!

    Good idea to list what you already have like you guys have done. I wish I'd not told my dad about the tickets I've won this month and kept them as a Xmas present but I was worried they would t arrive I time for Xmas as concert is not til June.

    A nice suit be lovely for Mr Becky for my sisters wedding
    iTunes or clothing vouchers for 13 & 14 yr old nieces

    Something really special for my childminder who is celebrating 25 yrs as a childminder, her 60th Birthday & 40th anniversary all in December, has been like a grandma to my 2 since they were 9 months old (as I don't have parents)
    I love this board, have "virtually" met so many lovely people, people I am honoured to count as friends.

    a year's supply of something useful (i was fascinated by the years supply of loo roll someone won, imagine not having to buy loo roll for a year!)
    vouchers that arrive in an LWE!

    toys
    anything suitable for teens
    Best wins: Holiday to San Francisco, Full sky package + TV, Rewind Festival tickets & Snoozebox, 5* London hotel stay, £1000 B&Q

    Vouchers for family.
    Blu-rays for stocking fillers.
    Tesco/Asda vouchers for the big xmas shop!
  • Top of my list would be a food or drinks hamper.
    Also, some small "stocking filler" presents for DD as we have bought her main presents already.
    Some comedy DVDs for DH, but he would really like an iPad (wishful thinking perhaps!)

    If not, then maybe a cash win to make things a little easier at Christmas :)

    I've got a hankering for a really nice food hamper. One of the big ones with lots of fancy stuff in that I wouldn't generally buy for myself. It would be great fun rooting through it all"
