What would you prefer to win under £20?

Options
I know a lot of people do not enter competitions if they aren't over a certain amount.

I was just wondering what you'd like to win under £20?
(Obviously not cash or vouchers or maybe preferred vouchers)

Just interested to see.

For me - candles would be a huge plus.
Thank you to everyone who posts competitions and good luck to everyone who enters.

    Makeup
    Wine
    DVDs
    books
    Shampoo / conditioner / toiletries
    Food items

    For me, it's not about the value of the prize, it's whether I or my immediate family have any interest in it / need for it / want it. So I don't turn my nose up at prizes worth a fiver, but by the same token I don't bother entering for things that we'd never use.

  • Plenty good prizes under £20

    Any DVD I want to watch
    Food especially different ingredients to try
    Any toiletries we use
    Any gift that would be good to put away towards Christmas

    Most of my wins are small wins that come in useful rather than big treat wins :)

    May you all have lots of luck, Emma xx

    quite a lot of my wins are under £20 with most of them being food/wine/beer related :D

    I'll also enter for any thing i'm interested in eg toiletries, some books, garden related items etc (although i do have a bit of a stationery addiction as well)

    I'm not overly worried about cost, as long as i like it. There are many expensive prizes I don't enter for if I don't like them or can't think of anyone to win it for. there have been some truly hideous, from my point of view, expensive 'fashionable' type prizes - jewelery/bags/clothes/bedding etc. I don't like cath Kidston or Orla Kiely stuff either. but hey, each to their own :)
