Meet Our Latest Winners!

The year started off pretty good with several wins including £100 Itunes gift cards,Race for Life Goodies around the same value, 4 Wasjig jigsaws, a T-shirt from Ray Quinn's tour at a local theatre which when I went to pick it up turned into tickets for the show instead which was brilliant, all via the Prizfinder, and thirteen books via Goodreads. I ended October with another book from Goodreads and the best one yet a Light up handbag from BagtoWear.co.uk via the Prizefinder - worth $225 (about £150) - I love it :)

I look forward to hopefully finishing off the year on a further high to match or improve on last year's tally of £1100's worth of prizes.

You could have knocked me down with a feather when I got an email to tell me I had won the Somersby Cider free prize drawn for submitting a review about their cider. I was so delighted, it was £50 worth of John Lewis vouchers - they arrived only two days later in a recorded delivery envelope! My biggest win this year to date! Thank you Prizefinder!

I won an amazing 4 day, 3 night holiday to France with Brioche Pasquier Croissants, which I entered through Prizefinder. It truly was a 'money can't buy' experience! The holiday included travel through Paris to Nantes, where stayed in the Mercure with a fantastic view of the marina. I did lots of sightseeing including the chateau, gothic cathedral and botanical gardens. We were then taken by taxi the next day for two days at Puy de Fou theme park (see picture), which is a historical theme park with lots of outdoor plays. This included tickets to cinescenie, which was an outdoor night time show with a cast of 3000! I stayed in Il de Clovis, which is a medieval village with each little house on stilts over a lake! For the final leg of the tour, it was back to Nantes and the Mercure hotel, where I was able to do more sightseeing. It truly was an amazing experience!

I've been entering competitions for some time with a little bit of luck. This year I started entering competitions on Twitter and have been waiting nervously to see if I could win anything. This October I was very excited to see that I will be mentioned in a tweet confirming me as the winner. They had also sent me a direct message, so I was really pleased to know that it was easy to find out when you win on Twitter. My prize was a £100 voucher for my phone top up, they got in touch to check which network I was with and sent it out very quickly. The best part is I can now phone all my friends and tell them about it, it will certainly keep me connected! It has also make me keen to try more competitions on Twitter especially as it's so easy. I'm now really hoping to win some prizes that I can put away for Christmas, so I better get moving!

This month I won 4 prizes, they are all awesome!

First came £100 to spend at veewee.co.uk, which went towards a friends' camper van restoration project.

Next I won a vintage style polka dot dress from Bitter Lollipop, I can't wait to receive this one as it is definitely my kind of thing.

I then won a MAC lipstick with Katie Jane Online blog, I got to choose the colour so I picked a gorgeous pinky shade called Patisserie.

FINALLY… my entry into a competition with Smooth Radio and NS&I was chosen as the winner as I described something I had used the internet for recently. The prize was personalised to your entry and I said that my partner and I had used the internet to find a hiking route for us and our dogs in the Northumberland countryside.

The personalised prize package included a short hiking break to the Lake District, in the cottage I've shown here. It is dog friendly so the pooches can come along too, plus two pairs of hiking boots of our choice and a Garmin GPS hiking device.

This is such a great prize, we really can't wait to use it. I was disheartened when the original email said that the prize could not be used during school holidays, as both my partner and I are teachers so this is the only time we would be able to use it. The company were very understanding and not only are we now booked to go during February half term, we are also going over Valentine's weekend!

Good luck for the start of the Christmas comping period everyone x

I found a Facebook competition on here early evening on Sunday. Wasn't aware the competition was ending within the hour. I was contacted as the winner the same night.
It was a secret santa competition so I had no idea what it was that I'd won.
The communication with the company was brilliant. And the following day she tagged me in a photo of my prize.
Its stunning and can't wait to hang it on my Christmas tree

This month has been particulary good in terms of wins. I won A photography experience day from Sunny D, a Bike worth £429 from Reid Bikes, £250 to spend with Laura Scott freemans, Tassimo coffee machine, £100 Kym play vouchers which I bought a play wooden dinosaur table with, its amazing, a tablet and a few little bits including a Paddington bear goodie bag, a spectre set of playing cards, initial canvas.
I love my hobby and ThePrizeFinder makes it easier to find prizes I want to win and beyond.

I have been entering competitions for a few years now and have won some great prizes like a short break glamping, a months supply of ice-cream, a £50 Amazon gift certificate and £250 John Lewis vouchers. This year hasn't been a very good year for me as I haven't won anything at all for the last nine months despite entering hundreds of competitions every month. This month though my luck has finally changed and I won a few great prizes. I have won £10 from a Direct Line competition, a ghosthunter DVD from Hungry house, the complete Mr Bean collectors boxset from a facebook competition and an elephant hand puppet, Whipsnade zoo entry ticket and cakes from Mr Kipling. I also won tickets to a back to the 90's event from Guestlist but I couldn't accept them as the event was in London and Guestlist only let me know three hours before the event was due to start that I had won. Hopefully my good luck will continue and November will be lucky too. Thanks Prizefinder for finding so many great competitions to enter.

Last month I saw Prizefinder's link to a Facebook competition for a case of Kettle Chips vegetarian crisps. I entered on Facebook and thought nothing of it until earlier this month when I got a notification saying I'd won!

I've not won anything in months and was really happy when a huge box of crisps turned up at my door. I decided to create a "hamper" with some other goodies (the box really was huge!) and share the prize with my colleagues. I was definitely the most popular person in our team that day - particularly with the homesick Canadians who were still bemoaning having to work on Thanksgiving!

I'd had a quiet month on the winning front and had been willing the postie to knock at my door with a surprise parcel. I was sat, doing what I love best, entering competitions on my day off, when the phone rang from an unknown number. Usually, I'm reluctant to answer but picked up anyway. So glad I did, It was a call from Best Magazine notifying me that I had won the 'Kiss nail bundle' competition, I was so excited!!

When the postman arrived a few days later I was thrilled with my little bundle, as was my daughter who has been helping herself to the goodies ;) xx
