    I was thinking £250 was too low and the Bauer limit of under £500 should count as "small" so using that then a Bose Soundbar that is £1 under £500 would be nice or any other bit of Bose kit (but as always cash and Amazon vouchers are top of my list whatever the amount).

  • For me - a cheque!
    The amount can be any amount - trying my best with the mag comps - won £50 about 10 years ago - nothing since.

    10 years ago £50 was a lot of money! :rotfl:

    Take a look at populus Live, it's a paid survey thing. They "pay" you £1 for a 5 minute survey and when you reach £50 they send you a cheque. I've had 3 so far in about a year ... so it's hardly "life changing" but it's nice to actually a cheque out of it after a few months.

    EDIT, just checked my account, my payouts were :
    01/10/2018
    01/06/2018
    01/06/2017

    Not sure if there weren't many surveys between 2017 - 2018 or If I just couldn't be bothered be doing them.
    They basically email you a survey is available and tell you how much it's worth and you can decide if you can be bothered or not.
  • A hamper of goodies (love a hamper), gift cards, a portable wireless speaker, any clothing or it would be nice to win a year supply of... something.
    Aim to win a product of the year bag in 2020! :) 



    Listen to your instinct.. it is never wrong.

    Hamper, mugs, giftcards, pet items, (Barney needs a new bed), gardening and garden bird items, any of these would be great.

    £250 would be a massive win, not a small one!! ��
    However I'm currently trying to win any kind of beauty or posh chocolate advent calendar so that would be my favourite small win.
    Also would be very happy with low value vouchers, DVDs, books, games or other things that would make good Christmas presents ������
  • Up to £250 is definitely a big win to me! My favourite smallish (ie under around £50) thing to win is definitely beauty products. It’s hard to justify spending £20+ on something like that when you don’t even know if you’ll like it so I love winning them instead!
    2018 wins: Aspinal of London jewellery box, Boudavida gym outfit, HP Pavilion laptop, The List party tickets, All Points East festival tickets, Kiehls moisturiser, By Terry cc serum, Nars Liquid Bronzer, Benefit highlighter, Nars illuminator, Fresh advanced lip trio set, Cetaphil sample set, signed copy of My Absolute Darling by Gabriel Tallent

    I'd love to win a new mattress if I'm thinking big. For smaller wins I'd love any night in a hotel (travelodge etc or youth hostel) and a popcorn maker! :-) I love daydreaming about this stuff, keeps me happily comping away!
    Many thanks to everyone who posts competitions and works so hard to provide all the answers!
    Best wins this year so far: £100 Hobbycraft Voucher, £50 cash, GoPro Camera
