I've been comping for nearly ten years and have won some really amazing prizes, including a holiday to Benidorm staying in Europe's tallest hotel; £2,500 of lifestyle prizes from REAL magazine, £2,000 of the most popular toys from Bauer Radio and a year's supply of Imperial shower gel to name a few. This has meant that I've been able to treat family and friends to lots of lovely things.
I prefer creative comps where an amount of skills or imagination is required, because it's fun - and can be an ideal way to spend your time on a rainy day!
The photo here is my entry for a competition with Yorkshire tea to win a kettle and a year's supply of teabags (I'm a real tea jenny, so this was an ideal prize for me!) As you can see, my kettle was broken and I was unable to make a brew, hence the sad look! This entry won me a runner's up prize of a year's supply of tea, so I was over the moon!
Comping really is a worthwhile hobby in which the whole family can get involved and enjoy the prizes when they roll in!
