Months supply of Relentless

A very nice win indeed - a months supply (24 cans) of 250ml Relentless Energy Drinks! I haven't tried Relentless before, it tastes very similar to Red Bull except without the slightly sour aftertaste, so I think I prefer it. The 250ml size is new, and I think slightly better than the huge cans they also do as I find I can't drink stuff like this in large doses, so this new size is perfect and very handy if you're on the go as well.

Value: RRP per can is 79p, so £18.96
2013 Total: £1126.31

Vintage Jewellery

A fabulous win - a years supply (12 items) of vintage jewellery from Lulu Brandy, valued at £350! Value is kind of subjective as it's based on Lulu Brandy selling them for £25-£30...whether or not they're actually worth that much, I don't know.  I won at the start of February so they've been a bit slow at sorting it out, but it got here eventually!
They came bundled together in a nice box, and all the pieces are in very good condition, especially considering they're vintage. My favourite is a cute candy cane pin which I'll be wearing come Christmas!

Value: £350
2013 Total: £1107.35

Beauty Bundle

Wow! A big box turned up at the door yesterday containing a surprise win - I love surprise wins more than anything! It's a beauty bundle from P&G, containing:

Pantene Pro-V Repair & Protect Conditioner (£4.69)
Pantene Pro-V Repair & Protect Shampoo (£4.69)
Pantene Deep Repair Masque (£4.69)
Max Factor Clump Defy Mascara (£10.99)
Olay Daily Regenerating Serum (£17.99)
Olay Night Recovery Cream (£16.95)

Very pleased with the shampoos as it'll save me having to buy some for the month, and I'm looking forward to seeing how good the masque and mascara are. The Olay anti-aging products I will probably give to my mum (I'm far too young to need stuff like this yet!)

Value: The prize was advertised as being worth £50, but adding it all up it actually comes to exactly £60!

2013 Total: £757.35




Personalised Mug

A personalised mug from the Gift Experience. The mug itself seems good quality, very strong and sturdy, but I'm not sure about the image. The colours seem to have printed out very warm in comparison to the original picture I sent. But anyway, it's nice to have my cat immortalised on a piece of kitchenware!

Value: £9.99
2013 Total: £697.35


Halls Sweets

A free pack of Hall's new sweets. They are basically just tiny hard balls, which you can suck for a few seconds (the child in me giggled at that sentence) and then they're gone. They're nice and minty (although not too strong), and probably would help if you had a cold as they do clear the airways quite nicely.

Value: Can't find a price anywhere, given how overpriced things are these days probably at least 75p!
2013 Total: £687.36




Pounds to Pocket T-Shirt

A while ago pounds to pocket had a competition to name their new alien mascot. The first 1000 entries all got a free t-shirt. It arrived the other day and it's very nice, a lot of company t-shirts just have a huge slogan but this one is actually really cool with the stars and the funny alien.

Value: £2.00?
2013 Total: £686.61

Aussie 3 Minute Miracle Reconstructor

Not entirely sure where this came from - a sample sized bottle of Aussie's 3 Minute Miracle Reconstructor. I used it for the first time today and am quite impressed - my hair has a much fuller texture and feels in good condition. The smell is quite strong though, so worth a sniff before buying to check you like it!

Value: £2.00 (full sized bottle is £4.99)
2013 Total: £684.61
