With half term upon us I’m not getting that many comps entered, but it’s a good time to try and be prepared for ‘comping with kids’. I find when the children are on their hols it is the perfect opportunity to keep an eye out on short-closing local comps. Shopping centres, radio, newspapers and the like usually run competitions where the kiddies can get involved. I visited London Stratford’s Westfield centre on Saturday and there were various outlets all running different promotions. Also on your travels take lots of photographs; children are usually very willing models and you never know when that pic could be used for a comp entry! For more hints and tips please visit Simply Prizes where you can read my blog post.

And with the kids in mind check out my pick of this week’s comps – good luck!

Starbucks and Benefit are working hand in hand to offer you a 2 for 1 deal. Head on over to a Benefit shop or concession (which is usually found in a large department store such as Debenhams) and pick up a free Starbucks coffee cup sleeve which will give you a 2 for 1 offer (cheapest drink free) at your local Starbucks. And Starbucks will be giving out free pink Benefit coasters which will enable you to get a free 'make-upper' at your local Benefit shop or concession. Both offers are valid until 31st March and you can find out your local Starbucks here and Benefit store here.
