    I've won quite a few vouchers over the years:
    £250 H&M - bought myself a load of basics like vests, leggings etc, and kitted my teenage son out for school trip to Spain with shorts, t-shirts etc. Took me about 6 shopping trips to spend it all!!
    £200 red letter lifestyles - put towards a new cooker from Currys.
    £100 Monsoon - bought myself a dress for middle son's communion.
    £50 Tesco - put towards Lego sets for Christmas pressies.
    £50 Love to shop - went towards big Christmas food shop at Iceland.
    Have had a few £20 and £10 Amazon vouchers which have gone on Christmas / birthday pressies.
    Any future voucher wins will be saved up for Christmas now.

    Depends what they are, and my circumstances at the time. Last year, I was delighted to win some home accessories vouchers shortly before Christmas, and so I spent them on Christmas presents for friends and family.
    ;) Working hard in the hopes of being 'lucky' ;)

    I had my first voucher win last week. I have offered my mum and dad half of them as they are always helping me out, but they have refused and said to spend them on myself and my daughter. As the vouchers are for Tesco I will probably buy myself a bike and camping stuff for the summer and the rest is going on my daughter who needs stuff for her forthcoming D of E expedition. If it were nearer to Christmas they would be going on pressies. x
    2017 wins = £1350
    2016 wins = £125 (18 months off comps)
    2015 wins = £6,460
    2014 wins = £1,350

    I wouldn't recommend buying a bike from Tesco.

    Buy cheap, buy twice. ;)
  • I love winning vouchers!

    I won a £100 Tesco voucher, and a £50 Amazon voucher - I sold the latter and used the Tesco voucher and cash towards a PS4 for my boyfriend for Christmas (I really wanted to get him one anyway - or win one! - but could only afford to spend around £150, found a deal in Tesco for £320 for PS4 + 2 games)

    I won a £50 FeelUnique voucher recently that I spent on Topshop makeup, a Boux Avenue voucher I spent on some V-Day underwear, and I also have £100 Very.co.uk voucher I'm saving for moving flat later this year to buy some bits and pieces.

    I won £500 Waitrose vouchers in January - originally I thought we'd end up blowing it on posh food and lots of wine, we've got 5 teenage kids so we spend a fortune on food anyway. But then I found out you could spend them at John Lewis so I bought a new dishwasher and oven - our dishwasher broke 6 months ago and I was sick of washing manually - and our oven has been fixed 3 times and was on it's last legs, so it was great to be able to replace both of them :)
