Don't have any unwanted wins - I only enter the ones I want to win.
It's a waste of time & effort if you don't want the prize
yes, but sometimes you can get a runner up prize from a comp that you might not want or need xplease be a responsible pet owner & spay/neuter your pets, too many strays & not enough homes for them sadly.

I tend to only enter competitions I would like to win the prize of, but obviously as others have mentioned, sometimes the prize is a surprise or you may receive a bundle/ runner up prize. With anything unwanted, I try to gift it to friends/family if I know someone who would like the item. If not, I tend to give it to a charity shop/ donated to school fairs or I have sold things on the likes of Ebay if I have needed to x0

The prize I recieved is a bundle, I have had other prizes before which I have kept but with this prize - 24 items, I definatley didn't want to keep them all so it has been nice to give them away. Made a few people happy along the way which is always a nice feeling!0

I do usually only enter to win what I can use or I can give to my family too - but it is often items in for example, a goodie bag, or a runners up prize that I either give to charity or sell. Also if an item turns up and is not the quality expected or the size doesn't fit (eg clothing).:TA big thanks to all who post and sprinkling lucky dust to all who enter :smileyhea0

I picked up my win today and have had great fun already! I have booked a photo shoot for my girls on Friday and a trip to the zoo in feb. Told my friends I am taking them on holiday, another friend on a spa day and gave my inlaws a luxury boating holiday. Was great!0

I won an advent comp, 24 prizes most of which I will use but some I won't. I've given some away to friends and family but what do you all do with the things you won't use?
Why not sell them and make some money for something you do want / need?Dear Lord, I am calling upon you today for your divine guidance and help. I am in crisis and need a supporting hand to keep me on the right and just path. My mind is troubled but I will strive to keep it set on you, as your infinite wisdom will show me the way to a just and right resolution. Amen.0 -

Not when it finances things you do want
