    I won a hamper in last years advents (2013), not enough in it to make a decent snack. it was in a box 12"x12"x12"
    I do it just for fun and whatever I win is a bonus

    The only disappointing one I had was a children's book related thing from Harper Collins. Can't remember. There were a number of RU prizes and they said it would be "[FONT=&quot]picked at random by our team from a selection of Ruby Redfort goodies, including wristbands and notepads." I thought great, something my nephew will like and/or I can use myself. Not a big prize but a prize is a prize...
    It was 1 of those rubber wristbands (already past their popular faze) but still a prize that could be used?
    No! It stunk of F knows what, not a smell I could imagine anyone liking! An[FONT=&quot]d ev[FONT=&quot]en if they did no[FONT=&quot]t that strong![/FONT][/FONT][/FONT]
