We'll pack your suitcase

Take part in the competition, enter your guess and win one of three suitcases packed to the brim

For the 'Heimat Shoppen 2026' event, numerous shops in Bocholt have packed their favourite products into a suitcase.

The task: to estimate as accurately as possible the total value of a suitcase filled with a variety of items.

The three people who guess the total value correctly or come closest to it will each win one of the three suitcases. All three suitcases contain identical contents, although some of the items are available in different colour variants.

How it works

View the suitcases in the shop windows
From 1 to 12 September, you'll find the packed suitcases in the three shop windows:
📍Intersport Pieron (Rebenstraße 4)
📍Der Nähkasten (Osterstraße 18)
📍Tara-M Woman (Shopping-Arkaden)

Estimate the value
How much do you think the suitcase and its contents are worth? Write down your estimate and pop your entry card into the prize draw box. You'll find entry cards and prize draw boxes in the participating shops.

Win with a bit of luck
The three people who come closest to the total value will each win one of the three suitcases. If there are several entries with the same estimate, the winner will be chosen by lot.
The actual value of the suitcases will be announced once the promotion has ended. The winners will be notified personally.
