A Swarovski Optiks pair of binoculars; £1600 wow! I've seen the moons of Jupiter as clear as day through them; fantastic quality. From a birdwatchers comp to identify a picture of a bird, where the answer was still in "right click, properties" Those were the days!0

There have been several items.
A few years ago a van driver rolled up with a large package to sign for. It was a couple of designer bags from In Style.
There was also a large brown envelope containing brochures, which I almost threw away. Just happened to see a letter with the word Congratulations. I had won £1000 to spend on a stove from Currys.
A while ago I won a Product of the Year bag, containing lots of items, and still no idea where it came from.0 -
