    I bought a krug baumen watch from watches2u after entering their comps. I opted for free delivery & it cam in 2 days. I saved over £70 and it's gorgeous.

    would recommend them.

    I've also discovered Murad skin care

    I've found so much stuff for my little boy through comps from books, toys, clothes, toiletries and pushchairs!

    Love finding things I think other family members would like for birthdays/christmas too.

    I found out about "thermo electric generators" from entering a comp to win a camping stove that generates enough power to charge a phone.

    As a hobby project, I'm now making my own generator. :)
  • I discovered I have a love of the Theatre I never I had! :D


    I won a pair of tickets to a show at the Old Vic, and ever since then I've been coveting the theatre ticket competitions the most. I work in London so it's easy for me to pop any day after work. Also, I now go a lot and actually pay. I used to think theatre tickets were only for the super rich, but I never usually pay more than £15 for a ticket and have seen so many!


    I sometimes even get to meet the actors afterwards which is a lovely treat. Tom Hiddleston is lovely :)

    I've discovered lots of brands and websites through comping and i've found Christmas and Birthday presents for some very difficult-to-buy-for family members :rotfl:

    In the last few weeks, we have been discussing the landscaping of our garden and wanted to create some raised borders and vegetable beds, I entered a competition to win woodBlocx on a gardening website, which is just what we have been looking for. I would never would have found out about the product if it wasn't for that comp!

    I have also discovered new authors and interesting book blogs that I now follow and read regularly.
