The 2 t-shirts and hoodie from the StreetWise sweep. Very attractive and durable.

Last year I won a couple of really good good quality items.
the 6 teeshirt bundle from SoBe. they were really good quality teeshirts.
the teeshirts I won from 3M. again great quality.
the Tide to Go tee shirt. super soft.
the thermos I won from Carribou Coffee. very nicely made.
I gave all the teeshirts away to my mom. none of them fit me. but, she loves them.

Thumbelina, I didn't care for the Sobe t-shirts. Hubby loves them but they weren't for me. I thought the fabric was too thin and you can see right through them. Now, I'll wear one around the house and/or if I'm cleaning but to wear them out I could not. I'd be a walking peep show!

The GPS I won from one of the Old Navy IWGs last year. They actually sent the next model up from the one I was supposed to get according to the sweep, it was worth $80 - $100 more, and very nice!

Lower value prizes?

Sobe Tshirts-Son loves them, an inlaw loves the one I gave her and I wear mine sometimes as well

The philly basket of goodies- I love everything about this prize! The coupons, the spreaders, mugs, etc. and it was very nicely packed. I gave one of the mugs away to one of my inlaws who has been supplying me with eggs.

All Tshirt wins come in handy here. Whatever we don't wear, we give to people who do.

The carry all pack which was a surprise win. At the very moment I cannot remember what sweep but, it came with a zip up tote, plates, silverware and cups. We use the plates and cups daily.

I have fell in love with lots of the prizes I have won.

The SoBe t-shirts are definitely nice. I wasn't expecting to get 6 of them for a win there.

The BowFlex is definitely good and sturdy. I guess I'd be more surprised if that one wasn't good quality. Of course, it hasn't gotten that much usage... yet...

Oprah's bag of freebies was also great, but a freebie, not a sweep win. Though this year will be a drawing....

I agree about the sobe shirts. Those were nice. I didnt care for the red to much though.

i didn't get to wear any of the SoBe shirts because they didn't come close to my size. but, my mom and cousin loved them.
My SoBe shirts that I won were good quality shirts. very thick, not thin. I thought they were very well made.

LMAO!! :laughing:

Maybe the second round of shirts were made more cheaply? Heck, I dunno. Mine looked like I bought some cheap shirts and some iron-ons. In any event, hubby asked if he could give mine to the homeless guy at work so I let him. I know they're being put to better use and now I don't feel so ungrateful. Not that I did, really. Well, maybe a little. Ehhh, whatever.

I know what your saying. they could have very well been. I won a Lucky traveler contest in the caffeine one, I think during the first round, when they first started. in the picture it shows 2 travel bags (really nice) I'm thinking oh what a great prize I'm going to get! I was really excited because we were going away, so I thought it would make a great travel bag to bring along. when I get it looks like about $2.99. something I could have gotten at the dollar store. It looked nothing like the picture they showed. but, a win is a win. :laughing:
