Prizes that you wouldn't be without

Options
A few months ago I won a set of Liz Earle products. I'd only heard the name before and didn't know anything about them. After a month of using them I had to buy more and now I won't use anything else!! I'm completely hooked!
I wouldn't have even thought of trying them before as I always shop at Boots and they only sell it in John Lewis or online.


Anyway, ramble over. Has anyone else won anything that they wonder how they managed without it before? (apart from money of course, you lucky ITV winners!!) :) xx

    I had something similar happen with a prize from the Advents in December 2012.

    I won a gift box of 3 Origins facial skincare products- I was a convert and have been using their products since- wouldn't have known about them if it hadn't been for the advent win.

    Breakfast biscuits! I won a massive box of them last year from Weetabix - I'd never thought of trying them before but then I won some and haven't looked back! They are great if I am running a bit late in the morning and haven't had time to eat a proper breakfast :p

    My xbox? Haha!

    I won some Dr Karg biscuits, and they are really nice, expensive biscuits, but delicious and now we eat them all the time :)

    A 4-slice Dualit toaster won several years ago.

    I would never have paid such a large amount for a toaster, but it makes the best toast ever.

    Would hate to be without it.

    My Xperia Z1 I just love it, never had a smartphone before just a basic phone, plus Matrix shine spray for the hair, since winning this I have had to buy some!

    I won a £300 voucher with a curtains and blinds company so I had some made to measure curtains made up for my bedroom. They came to a grand total of £293 as they reached the floor, had a black out lining and came with matching tiebacks! They look gorgeous up and completely darken my room during the Summer! I would never have paid nearly £300 for one pair of curtains so I am so pleased I won them! A real treat! grin-smiley-emoticon.gif
