    Not a lot in recent years but I once won £200 of M&S vouchers which came in handy for Christmas shopping. Another time a site offered the usual prize every day, but the last day was for one of everything that had been offered over the previous days and I won that. There was so much stuff, an Ipod Nano and tons of expensive beauty products.

    Have only won once during two years of Advents and that was a Kindle Paperwhite from the Sudocrem instant win. Not too shabby!
    Thank you to everyone for sharing competitions!
  • A years supply of razor blades, they sent so many packs I am only half way through them and that was nearly 3 years ago.

    £1000 and a personal shopper experience at Harvey Nichols from the Barclaycard Advent :D
    I love this board, have "virtually" met so many lovely people, people I am honoured to count as friends.

    Nothing on actual advents. A newly-released mobile phone and it's compatible smartwatch (the first ever smartwatch) on a christmas comp on FB but it wasn't an advent. It's still in the top 5 highest value prizes I've won. IMO advents haven't been that good in recent years and the ones with big prizes are extremely popular ones from big-name companies.
    Good luck OP and have fun, but don't let them rule your life. Search out the high-value ones and go for it.
    Thank you to everyone who posts on the competitions boards. You all rock!

    Enough next vouchers to clear my next directory account and have a shopping trip on top
    You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have.

  • A polaroid camera last year was my best. I did well overall in the advents anyway though. I won quite a few pet bits, a few things towards this Christmas presents and some foody things too.
    I just enter and forget...hoping to win something! :)

    I won a £500 handbag in an instant win advent 2years ago, shaped like a Christmas pudding.

    Last year I won a 6k holiday in a Xmas short lived competition!
