Ever become a fan of something through comping?

Options
We won a pair of footy tickets to go and watch Huddersfield town play. Neither me or my husband are football fans and thought the experience was going to be a tedious. Infact we had a brilliant time (and could possibly go and watch them play again).

Also my prize of a beauty set from Santaverde came last week. I used it this morning for the first time. I am a complete fan and utterly love their stuff! I would actually buy stuff from them I like it so much.

I was wondering if anyone has had similiar experiences of becoming a fan of something. :rotfl:

    Didn't win the comp but loved her stuff and now everyone who even mildly likes cats gets her cards for birthday and Christmas. And her "Each and every cat..." card is pinned on the wall in front of me because i love it :)

    I recently bought some seed tins after seeing this comp posted:

    I don't think I would have come cross this ecological project if it hadn't been posted here as a comp

    This is just the latest example for me, but if I love a prize then even if I don't win (which is 99.9999999% of the time :eek: :rotfl:) then I always keep the info and make a purchase if it's within my budget :D

  • I've never won with them but ive just bought my mum some busy bee candles magik beans for her birthday, its only due to comping i know who they are from entering their twitter comp :) my first order with them so hoping the products are nice! also got 25% off from a code on their website so got a bargain :D

    I also won a hamper of fudges (think they are now known as thomas j fudges) biscuits last year, in there was some flapjack half coated in belgian chocolate, they were so good me and the bf were fighting over them! lol so if i see them in tesco i buy some (they don't have them in often) bit pricey at £2.99 but they are sooooo divine!
