  • I've won a lot of small prizes but nothing big this year.

    My absolute favourite was the 20 new books I won from Caboodle :j
    2016: Luxury Chalet Holiday in France for 10 people (worth £30.000)
    2019: Instytutum skincare (worth £500)
    2020: Allies of Skin serums (worth £300)
  • my favourites were an Ipad air, playstation 4, or £500 from a mag daily - and a few smaller ones - been a good year - no 'big' wins - but still hoping for THAT phone call

    I have had my best December ever, but my favorite and most unexpected win was a Dell visor VR headset from Make use of.com. simply for beating massive odds and for proving someone wrong, who suggested doing international gleams were a waste of time due to the numbers of entries. :)

    I've had exactly two wins this year lol. I am quite picky about the competitions i enter though due to lack of time and go through brief periods where i may not enter any.

    £100 (money is always good,) plus a trip to NYC.

    Of course the biggest win was the latter and the PR company really went above and beyond for such an incredible experience.

    I've had a couple of small advent wins- a calendar and packets of seeds- been about 3 years since I won anything in the advents.

    Best win was a large Chambers Dictionary.

    Otherwise a pair of Fiskar scissors, £50 Hobbycraft voucher, and a £100 Elvi voucher.
  • had a few rubbish months but have had a great November and December. My biggest win was on an advent - a nights stay with dinner and breakfast at Celtic Manor.
    My favourite wins though are always things for my children as it's nearly always stuff that I wouldn't have otherwise bought for them - won my youngest a pair of expensive shoes and on Christmas Day she's going to open a personalised Peppa Pig book which she is going to love

    Agree.... wouldn't like to see their actual small wins :rotfl:


    Mine: £1000 Thomas Cook voucher in January (was an advent) and My son won an iPad 9.7 - been very picky this year what I've entered but had an amazing haul :D
    Thanks to all posters :A
  • Tones of small wins,

    My highlights have been

    Winning a city break to Vienna for gay pride, it was 3 nights with flight and suitcases worth £1200, It was amazing i took my sister with me. We shared a twin room. I have won bigger prizes over the year but to me this is the best so far.

    £200 Virgin day experience which i used towards a 2 night stay in London (i sold some prizes to fund the rest and spending money and was given a return ticket as birthday present)

    Then there have been a TV £299, Go pro £400 which i sold to fund holidays spending money and to treat my sister to loads of extras like airport lounge, meals out and drinks.

    Thank you to everyone that posts in this section. I love my hobby! I will reveal the amount i have won once December is out the way.
