1. LEGO Flower Bouquet Set from Prize Draw UK
Prize: LEGO Flower Bouquet Set (10280) worth £54.99
First up, how could I resist this one? I mean, I’m not the greenest thumb, but these flowers are perfect—they never wilt, and they’re made out of LEGO! Prize Draw UK has this fantastic competition running where you can win the beautiful LEGO Flower Bouquet Set from the Botanical Collection. In fact, they actually have loads of Lego competitions and I’m a big fan, even in my ‘older’ age! If you’re like me and love a quirky home decor piece, this one’s perfect for brightening up any room. Tickets are super affordable, starting at just 60p, and you can grab a 10% discount if you buy five tickets, or a lovely 20% off if you’re going for 10 tickets. Plus, the odds are fab since they cap the number of entries—so, it’s a win-win really! Who wouldn’t want some never-dying blooms in their house? (for a change, cough!) Closing date: 15th December.
2. A static caravan stay in North Wales
Prize: A stay in a static caravan in NW Wales, dates to be arranged
Ah, North Wales, one of my favourite places! There’s something so peaceful about the Welsh coast, and this comp gives you the chance to win a static caravan stay for a little getaway. I think this one would be ideal for a quiet retreat—imagine walking on the beach, watching the sunset, and just chilling with a book and a cup of tea. No stress, no deadlines, just some good old relaxation. The dates are flexible, so you can plan it when life isn’t so hectic. It’s free to enter, and all you have to do is fill out the form. The closing date appears to be the end of November but I’m not too sure, so get your entry in quick!
3. Roborock Robot Vacuum
Prize: 1 of 3 Roborock Robot Vacuum Cleaners
Right, let’s be real for a sec—who actually enjoys vacuuming? Not me! That’s why I’m absolutely obsessed with the idea of winning a Roborock Robot Vacuum Cleaner. This comp is giving away not one, but three robot vacuums, so you’ve got triple the chance of bagging one. These little things are lifesavers, especially if you’re like me and always find crumbs hiding in odd places. Imagine sitting on the sofa, watching telly, and the vacuum just whirrs around doing the hard work for you. Bliss, right? The end date is 30th October and you can grab extra entries by sharing more etc.
4. A gravel bike and cycling trip to Sri Lanka
Prize: A gravel bike and a cycling trip to Sri Lanka, fixed dates Feb-March 2025
Okay, this is a dream competition if you’re into cycling. Winning a gravel bike AND a trip to Sri Lanka? Yes, please! Now, I’m not the fittest person ever, but this would be an amazing adventure—exploring Sri Lanka’s beautiful landscapes while getting in a bit of a workout (and then having some guilt-free Sri Lankan curry!). The trip is all sorted for February or March next year, so it’s perfect for escaping the dreary British weather. And if you’re into fitness or just love a good adventure, this one’s for you.
To enter, there are 4 qualifying multiple-choice questions and then you need to write some 100 word answers to 3 more – so there’s a bit of effort involved but I’m sure it’s worth it for those of you who love the idea of this stunning prize. Closing date: Midnight on New Year’s Day 2025.
5. An 8-day ski trip to Sweden
Prize: A ski trip to Sweden including flights, fixed dates in March 2025
I don’t ski, but I do snowboard—so this one totally caught my eye. It’s an 8-day trip to Sweden for some slope action, and flights are included too! It’s happening next March, and I’ve heard Sweden has some of the best powder for skiing and snowboarding alike. I can just picture myself now, wrapped up warm, hitting the slopes by day and chilling by a fire in the evening. This is a free-to-enter competition, so if you love winter sports, get your name in the hat! The competition is to be drawn 1st November although there’s no clear end date, so get your entry in quick.
6. £250 SwimTrek voucher
Prize: £250 SwimTrek voucher
I’m not much of a swimmer, but this competition for a £250 SwimTrek voucher still grabbed my attention. I have really gotten into my wild swimming in the last couple of years and I just invested in some proper wild swimming gear from a lovely friendly Cornish company recently (I’m fed up of shivering in my cozzie). SwimTrek is perfect for those who love combining travel with swimming adventures—whether that’s exploring the open water or ticking off iconic swim spots around the world. Imagine booking a trip to swim in the Mediterranean or even in the wild rivers of Scotland. Even if you’re a bit of a casual swimmer, this could be an amazing way to see some beautiful places while getting in a bit of exercise.
So to enter, download the NOWCA Wild app; create a free profile or log in using your NOWCA credentials; Search for the group: SWIMTREK; Join the group and that’s it, you’re entered! Closing date is 31 October 2024.
7. Overnight stay in a Junior Suite at The Bonham Hotel
Prize: Overnight accommodation; whisky or gin flight; afternoon tea with a glass of Champagne; and a full Scottish breakfast.
This competition is perfect if you’re looking for a luxurious treat. You could win an overnight stay in one of the stunning Junior Suites at The Bonham Hotel in Edinburgh, plus a bespoke Gordon Castle gift box packed with some seriously indulgent goodies. The gift box includes a Gin Trio Set, delicious hand-made rosemary oatcakes, and refreshing Scottish Apple Cider made from apples grown in one of the oldest and largest kitchen gardens in Britain.
But the prize doesn’t stop there! You and your guest will be treated to a full luxury experience at The Bonham, complete with a choice of a whisky or gin flight in their elegant bar, a Champagne Afternoon Tea in the lounge, and a proper full Scottish breakfast the next morning. To top it all off, they’ve even thrown in a late checkout at 1 pm, so you can really make the most of your stay. It’s the kind of competition where you’ll feel pampered from start to finish, and if you win, I bet you’ll be feeling like royalty! Closing date is 12pm 5th November.

Coffee lovers, this one’s for you! Win a tasting experience and coffee hamper from Capital Roasters, right in Pembrokeshire. I’m a total sucker for a good cup of coffee, and the idea of doing a tasting session sounds so fun. You get to try all sorts of brews and learn more about where your coffee comes from—plus, you get to take home a hamper full of goodies. This is perfect if you love discovering new flavours or you’re just after a fun foodie experience. Closing date: Sunday 20th October

Who doesn’t love a good brunch? And this competition lets you and five of your mates enjoy a cosy brunch date, with £250 to spend! It’s happening in Leeds, so if you’re local (or fancy a day trip, it’s a lovely city to explore), this would be a fab day out. I can already picture it—avocado toast, bottomless mimosas, and all the best chat with friends. What’s even better is you get to have a bit of a blowout without worrying about the bill. Perfect for a Sunday get-together. Closing date 18th November.
10. Tickle Me Elmo soft toy
Prize: Sesame Street Tickle Me Elmo soft toy
Last but not least, something for the little ones (except if I win this, I’m keeping it, sorry kids). You can win a Tickle Me Elmo soft toy, which is just the cutest thing ever. It’s a total throwback to my childhood, and I’d love to see the look on a little one’s face when they press his tummy and he starts giggling away. Whether you’re entering this one for your kids, nieces or nephews, or just to have a bit of nostalgic fun, you’ve got to give it a go. It’s one of those feel-good prizes that will make anyone smile.
