Surprise Wins

So, I was wondering what has been your best surprise win? Or, when you hear other people mention they have had something turn up - and you've entered the comp do you think 'ooh might have won too'
Just interested!
For me - In the year and a half I've comped, I've never had a surprise win
I feel so left out!
Love to hear your stories!

in may 2011 i had a lovely surprise win show up
it was a pentax camera won from the sun paper
i remember the day, i was feeling ill at the time and that cheered me right up0 -
I've had a lot of small wins turn up unannounced, mostly books and DVDs. I also got a chinese food hamper and a Palmer's goody bag turn up too. It's really exciting opening up a parcel with no clue what it might be
May you all have lots of luck, Emma xx0 -
I've only had a couple of little surprise wins - one was a book a few months ago, and also one of those lip balm pots, other than that I've always had a WEM first! I love the anticipation and excitement though that something COULD potentially turn up in the post any day!0

Ah same here!
What a lovely gift to cheer you up Tink!
I love thinking that each parcel 'could' be something, especially when it's iPad shapedx

I've had a few surprise wins turn up, all quite small but lovely to have an unexpected win arrive!
My fave ones were a box full of Sanex goodies and Aqua Beads goodies from last year.
I get really excited when I get a package turn up and do the whole trying to guess whats inside thing, feeling the shape of the parcel. Sometimes I will leave it until after I've been to work or got some boring chores out of the way first until I open it, so I have something to look forward to when I've finished!
