Meet Our Latest Winners!

We recently won a subscription to Toucan Box - a great craft box for 3-8 year olds, and a box lands on your door mat each month. Well, the postman has to give it to you, as it is so big, with so much in it to do...

Here is a photo of our young son Teejay with his igloo and eskimos, seal and husky dog, that he recently made. Everything he needed was in the box, the instructions and all the resources. Also in the same box, was everything he needed to make the most gorgeous snowflakes. With glitter and sequins, glue and wool. So As long as you don't mind mess, then Toucan Box is a great, fun box to receive each month.

This month we have received an Ocean box and will soon be busy creating a mess....and artwork that is amazing. Each box comes with a related book too. So everything follows the theme of the box.

Teejay loves it when the postman knocks on the door at the beginning of each month, and he has no idea what the theme will be...just he knows he is going to have fun!

So I decided to start entering these competitions because of my boredom and extra time. Two weeks in and I have already had my first big prize. I was sent this amazing hamper from nakd. Enough to last me months. Thank you The Prize Finder and thank you nakd!

I have been comping for about 9 months and have won a handful of prizes including £50 worth of stationery, some bubble bath for kids, a goody bag and some vouchers for B&Q which unfortunately I was unable to claim (that will teach me for ticking the terms and conditions box but not actually reading them!) and now I have had my first win on Facebook, which was £30 worth of vouchers for a meal at Gourmet Burger Kitchen. I have been there a couple of times before and loved it and it will taste all the better if the meal is free! I love the new competition tracker as its encouraging me to enter even more, I think I will also have to join Twitter and Pinterest to see how lucky I am there!

I have had a very slim February with not a lot of prizes, so decided that I would try and win flowers for Valentines day, so I entered everything. Happily on 13th I received a tweet to let me know I had won an Interflora competition for a dozen long stemmed red roses. I was over the moon, and to top it off the delivery car was a Rolls Royce. I just wish I'd been quick enough to get my camera out, but the flowers were lovely and are still in their prime now. Well chuffed.

I've been really lucky this month. I first won £250 worth of clothes from Lili-London courtesy of Look Magazine. When I checked out their clothing I realised that being over 40 and size 14 I wasn't really going to get much that would look good on me. I decided to treat 7 lovely young ladies in my life. My three nieces, niece in law and three of my closest friends daughters. They were able to choose an outfit each and were thrilled.

The next week I got an email saying I had won a Weber gas fired BBQ. My husband thought that was brilliant and immediately built it up when it arrived.

Then yesterday I won a set of Tomy Winnie the Pooh baby toys. These are will be nice for my cousin who is expecting her first baby.

All in all a really lucky month.

I've recently started comping again after spending hours last year and having no wins. This month I started doing the closing soon comps for Twitter and Facebook, next thing I know I've won a mug and a cute little kitten teddy and then a few days after I won the red bag which is perfect for when I start work! I never thought it would happen too me because I'm so unlucky! But I really enjoying comping and if you feel like it will never happen to you, it will when you least expect it and it will be the best feeling in the whole world.

It had been a long time coming but I felt that a win was just around the corner. Try as I may I have entered comp after comp with no wins recently but I felt that February was going to be a winning one. I entered a recent one to win tickets to Cardiff City v Aston Villa, probably with the same thought as always. It won't be me. Imagine my surprise when only two days later I had a call to let me know that I had won. I could barely contain my surprise. What made my day was telling my 7 year old son that he could have a special school night treat on the day, stay up late and come with me to his first ever football match. He ran around the room, whopping and shrieking. The look on his face throughout the evening was priceless. A great win but an even better memory.

In January I won a prize worth £150!

2 tickets to the Harry Potter Studios tour, a replica harry potter wand and a full set of the DVDs.
This is my dream prize as I LOVE the Harry Potter films/books. I cant wait to go on the tour!!!

Fingers crossed people, you never know what's around the corner!

I entered a Best Loved Hotels competition to win a stay at Rothay Manor in the Lake District. Once you fill in the competition form (which is only a few lines) you are taken to the site of the venue. When I saw it I really wanted to win as it looked perfect especially as I am a keen amateur photographer. Whether I won or not I thought I would keep Rothay Manor in mind for a trip later in the year. Anyway, I got an email telling me I had won the competition! I couldn't believe my luck. The email told me to contact the hotel to arrange my stay and I did wonder if it was real but the lady I spoke to seemed to be expecting my call. I have booked to go there in July and I cannot wait! They have booked a superior room for me and my guest with breakfast and an evening meal on the first night.
This is definitely the best prize I have won to date and I have won a few over the last 14 months, and I would not have won it if it wasn't for ThePrizeFinder, so thank you guys.

After having a really slow year last year I broke my comping lean spell in January by winning a Happy egg calender and a few days later I received a winning e-mail to say I had won £100 to spend in Charlotte's Bistro in London. It couldn't have come at a better time as I had just booked my tickets to go and stay with my daughter Sophie who lives in London as a birthday treat from my family, so we booked a table whilst we were there and had a wonderful evening. The food ,drinks and service was really good and they really looked after us and congratulated us on winning the prize. I am hoping this is the start of many more wins, I just love my hobby so much. :)
