    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!

    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!

    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! :)
