Is it okay to...has anyone else?

So, I don't have any kids, But I would like them one day...is it okay to enter competitions for baby stuff?!

Baby things cost SO much money, and my reckoning is that it would take me years to win anything "decent" that is needed for a baby, but my gut tells me it's wrong to enter when I'm not even in a relationship or trying for a baby?! ...but baby stuff just costs so much! So if I can win anything now and store it in the attic then surely it makes sense?!

Has anyone else ever done this? Am I mad? :rotfl:
I hope you have a happy day full of kindness :A

    Nothing wrong with that as long as the Terms and Conditions don't state it has to be your kids or whatever....however I would suggest you might have a better stash if you plan for your grandchild not your children.....wedding and baby comps, everyone has the same idea haha!

    LOL yes, go ahead! Although if you win, you could be asked if you would like the prize in pink or blue or for a baby girl or boy? And if you enter to win, eg a personalised baby blanket, you may need a name too! I'd get baby making if I was you! Hee hee - enjoy!
    :TA big thanks to all who post and sprinkling lucky dust to all who enter :smileyhea

    I've entered a few babies comps recently - I don't have or want children but some friends of mine are expecting so I am trying to win for them!

    I've also been entering a few baby/kids comps. My friend has 2 children (and another one on the way) like you said baby stuff is expensive so if i won i'd be giving the items to my friend!
  • I'm trying to get pregnant so do enter some comps for baby things, as long as its not explicitly for people who have kids. I've won a few little bits too :)
    Well this is fun :)
