The time has come round yet again for the Insight team at MNHQ to host our annual round up of the year, to plead for those of you not yet on our panel to sign up and to thank you all for taking part in some amazing projects this year! Xmas Smile

After 10 years at Mumsnet, I am logging off and leaving at the end of the year - will def be on the ‘other side’ and keeping an eye on the team. It’s been amazing at MNHQ - seeing the site grow and develop and to work with a great team but time for a change for me personally.

Read on for the chance to win...

~ A Thule Urban Glide running buggy worth £435 Grin or
~ A ‘Christmas All Wrapped Up’ mixed case of wine from Virgin Wines - worth £116.87 or
~ The Marie Claire Skincare Edit from Fabled worth £79 (containing £120 worth of products - ELEMIS Pro Collagen Marine Cream SPF 30, Erborian CC Crème, Dr. Hauschka Lip Balm and Caudalie Beauty Elixir) or
~ A Sanctuary Spa hamper worth £50 or
NEW ~ A year of Soreen worth £70 (52 x £1.35 vouchers for your choice of their squidgy loaves) or
NEW ~ An "Advance Daysack" – worth £75 - from Ski Weekend - they say "a stylish and technical daypack with several compartments and branded with Ski Weekend and Advance Logos. A must have for anyone in need of transporting your kit for an active lifestyle!" Find out more about Ski Weekend (Ski Operators for 30 years, they offer a personal service tailoring Ski breaks in and around Chamonix, Mont Blanc - with a chalet which is ideal for large family and friends groups and is great for kids) here

In 2017, we have given away over £53,000 in prizes - mainly in the form of vouchers in exchange for sharing feedback, completing a short survey or for simply sharing a tip on a thread Smile.

This year we have all been thrilled to see the Mumsnet Rated badge really gaining momentum - have you seen it on products like Birds Eye frozen chicken, Arla Big Milk, Hedrin Once etc? We have also loved getting your houses sparkly with Buster, and Dettol, having some fun with Count Olaf and Netflix and scoffing trying Soreen mini loaves (they sent soooo much to MNHQ).

For a chance to win one of the above prizes, please do one of the below

a) Share on this thread what you have enjoyed taking part in this year, or appreciated reading about OR
b) Tell us on this thread what you’d like to product test next year OR
c) Join the panel - where you'll have the opportunity to share your views with MNHQ on a variety of topics and with the companies we work with and chances to win vouchers OR
d) Follow us or retweet one of our tweets over on twitter page @MumsnetInsight

  • NB if you do c or d post on this thread to let us know you’ve done it to be entered into the draws!

Most of the product tests, surveys etc are on site but we also do a lot of projects with our lovely insight research panel, as well as often giving them the heads up about the latest things and chances to win on site. If you are not yet on our panel please do sign up now. You can select how often you get emailed and you can leave at any time if it’s not for you.

Thanks as ever for your time and feedback - all very much welcome Xmas Smile

Happy Christmas! Xmas Grin

I have followed you @jenlouisej

francislee1976 · 05/01/2018 12:14

I would love the chance to test the I phone X. it looks like a great phone

lovewatchingrainfall · 05/01/2018 13:08

I have to say I have enjoyed trying a few products however the one the made the most interesting read was the cold baby food. It was a strange taste and did lead to a bit of disappointment overall

jeezlouise85 · 05/01/2018 13:27

I took part in the My First Savse cold baby food test which was fun, but I really enjoyed giving my feedback towards the maternity care survey for the NHS - I felt like it was really valuable. Star

mummymummums · 05/01/2018 13:50

I've joined the insight panel.

Smellophant87 · 05/01/2018 14:02

C & D completed. I am currently enjoying testing the Lidl's nappies & would like to test anything to do with weaning next year, & some new pushchairs!!!

theAntsareMyFriends · 05/01/2018 22:11

I enjoyed testing hipp organic baby food as it really helped get DS into eating purée rather than always insisting on baby food.

I'd like to test hotels for genuine child-friendliness, tents would be fun to test. I also love doing any food testing. DP wants to test out light bulbs but he is very boring!

theAntsareMyFriends · 05/01/2018 22:12

Sorry that should have been finger food not baby food.

farqualar2 · 05/01/2018 22:47

I like testing any cosmetics, they are always a little bit of a treat in life so always fun!

nelel34 · 05/01/2018 23:10

Ive enjoyed all the product tests ive taken part in last year and i would really like to do some tests that are for the mums such as phillips lumea and make up products.

Sugarhouse · 05/01/2018 23:40

Would love to product test some kitchen gadgets and would also like to try out a sowing machine would love to try using one. Also any baby products for my baby boy

nolene15 · 06/01/2018 00:51

We loved the product trial "Old el paso stand an stuff taco shells" They where amazing even got the 11 year old to try something new and surprisingly he loved them and asks for them weekly

FuckingHateRats · 06/01/2018 08:33

I enjoyed the rapeseed oil challenge, and have definitely converted over!

Would love to try some skincare, or a hairdryer.

itsonlysubterfuge · 06/01/2018 09:45

I've joined the insight panel!

I enjoyed "product testing" all the books, although I suppose that doesn't really count Grin.

Twiglet1983 · 06/01/2018 10:13

I’d love to test one of the buggies that can fold down into airline hand luggage size! So handy for holidays but are they any good??

luijo · 06/01/2018 15:33

I'd love to test hairdryers this year, The price on them seems to be going up and up and with so many claims about what they could do for my hair I'd love to test them out, especially the Dyson as it seems lighter.

Florida123 · 06/01/2018 16:04

We really enjoyed testing Disney Kitchen Toddler Snacks (the bundle had a good amount of variety of healthy treats). Definitely up for doing more this year!

matphil · 06/01/2018 18:05

Followed and re-tweeted on twitter.

matphil · 06/01/2018 18:06

I would love to test a new mattress or two at home.

Cintacmrs · 06/01/2018 18:50

Id love to test dairy free foods especially for little people -

debjani · 06/01/2018 19:30

I would love to test sports wear esp for running in winter eg leggings, fleeces, tops and hats to see if they really do keep you warm without you getting sweaty and then cold and clammy afterwards. Tks!

laurapotz · 06/01/2018 19:55

I would love to product test any new kitchen gadget as I love them (I just wish I had room for them all)!

Royalsteph · 06/01/2018 21:49

I've joined the panel for product tests I'd love to test something that is just for me and can't be nabbed by the dh or DCs. Kitchen gadgets, cleaning products all the fun stuff

sofieellis · 06/01/2018 21:58

I've just signed up to join the panel and I'd love to try out anything that makes life easier and better, in particular a robot vaccuum and an Elvie - I realise that sounds like a very odd combination!

Hippobottymus · 06/01/2018 22:49

I would love to test beauty products this year! I’ve not long given birth to baby number two and am always keen to try new things to stop me looking so knackered!
