Meet Our Latest Winners!

The lovely people at Cornwall living e-mailed to tell me I had won one of their competitions and shared my details with the prize provider. I waited a couple of weeks but nothing arrived so I chased it up, Copperfish distillery was more than apologetic but stated they had sent the prize and because of the postal strikes special curried it for a second time to make sure I got it. It arrived this morning in time for my wife’s sixtieth birthday so a real treat as she loves her gin. 4 bottles of gin and 2 glasses, the bottles were either silver or gold medal winners

I won a couple of lovely food bundle prizes in September, which have been real treats. The first was with Higgidy on Instagram. They were running a photo competition over the summer for their products so I posted a photo of a family tea I made for us at the caravan with one of their quiches and included the packaging, and then was really surprised to receive their message in September to say I was one of the winners! I also won a similar photo sharing competition on Instagram with Mackie’s icecream - I got vouchers for 3 tubs of ice-cream plus a selection of their gorgeous chocolate flavours and a professional icecream scoop. It’s so nice to receive food prizes!!

I have been entering competitions on here for months, everyday and this is my first win. I was starting to think I would never win a competition. Last week I received an email saying I had won a pair of Cornelia James maud winter gloves. A beautiful pair of Cornelia James gloves. Beyond happy. They fit perfectly. I can't wait until its cold enough to wear them. This gives me motivation to continue entering the competitions, because one day it will pay off. This win has definitely made my day. Couldn't be happier.

I entered some pictures into an Annabel Carmel competition and my little girl won a finalist place in a London photoshoot for a children’s cookbook that is soon to be released! It was her first time visiting the city and she loved her first time riding the tube and the train on the way down there. We will be receiving a free book in the post and if we are lucky she will be one of the children featured in the final print! We had an amazing experience and love that this all came about as a by product of entering a competition!

Having discovered the #MyMackiesMoment comp on the Prizefinder on Instagram, I got busy! On one of the hottest days of the year, I got home from work and then had to work fast before my Mackies melted!! I was feeling relaxed and very zoned out and got my daughter to take a photo of me meditating in the back garden with my Mackies tub of ice cream....we then ate the lot, and guess what? we will be eating a lot more Mackies soon as I have just received notification on Instagram that my photo was chosen as a runner up so a prize of 2 tubs of ice cream and four big bars of their lovely chocolate and limited edition ice cream scoop is on the way to me!! Lots more meditation with Mackies is in the air, methinks!

I won a competition with eurocamp for a 1 weeks holiday in any of their sites. We chose la croix du viex pont in Paris. We went in October last year and spent a day at Disneyland Paris enjoying their spooky Halloween parades and attractions. My son has non verbal autism and absolutely LOVES Micky mouse and was shouting "Mi mouse, mi mouse!!" during the parade. It was the most magical day and one we would never have had if it wasn't for my favourite hobby!! Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Last week I won 2 gorgeous prizes that have been a real treat! First I won a set of 12 cupcakes on Instagram which was a competition I entered to celebrate World Cupcake day! I could choose between normal pretty cupcakes or cocktail cupcakes so I went for the cocktail ones as they sounded a bit more unusual. They are gorgeous- I’m sharing them with my partner and eldest son! Then the next day I received an email to say I’d won a beautiful box of chocolates in a Yorkshire Day competition. They are so pretty and taste amazing! I would never have bought these treats for myself so winning them has been amazing!

I was so happy to win a £25 Currys voucher on Instagram recently - thank you to Prize Finder! I am going to save it to spend on a Christmas present for someone (is it too early for the c word?! not for compers..). It is so great that this hobby can help out with purchases you may have not afforded otherwise. The competitions on Instagram can be a bit overwhelming but at least there is somewhere to find the best ones listed - its good motivation to keep submitting entries - good luck to everyone !

I won a mermaid diving experience for my daughter with First News a few months back, after some initial issues trying to arrange it I managed to get it booked in for the summer. My daughter absolutely loved it and said it's been her favourite summer day out so far! Sometimes it's about the money can't buy experiences that you win as a comper! I have been having a bit of a dry spell recently so it was great to have this earlier prize arranged as something to look forward to. I won a steffi mermaid doll the following week spookily. That has been put away into the xmas winnings drawer!
