Tax Advice

Hi All, I am currently in full time employment earning approx 50K per annum, my fiance looks after our 18 month daughter and her only income is the standard child credits. We currently dont have any plans for her to return to work.
Recently I have started making money online with these incentive websites where you refer people and in return get free gifts. Xbox's, PS3 etc etc this started very well and I after getting all the gifts I want, I have started to get cash. I am currently getting about £1500/2000 per month.
My question is, what is the best way for me to carry on earning this money. Do I need to pay tax on this money or as it is a free gift is it allowed?
If tax is paid, What is the most effective way for me to set this up? I was considering setting up a business account in my partners name with all income and outgoings in relation to this going through that account. If I went ahead what tax free allowances would I get.
Any help that can be offered would be much appreciated, I started this off as a scheme just to get a couple of gifts but am now thinking I could make much more out of it, I just dont know much about the tax side.
