(CLOSED) Boots Soft Toy Collection for GOSH

[Gem+Dave+Kaci]

Hi everyone,

First of all thanks to everyone for all the great money saving tips - now here's a chance to give something back!

As I've already posted in another forum, I'm planning to collect as many soft toy vouchers as possible and use them to buy tons of soft toys which will then be donated to Great Ormond Street Hospital in London.

Here's where I need your help!

If you have any tokens lying around which you don't need then please can you send them to me! If you PM me I'll give you my address and I'll happily refund any postage costs via Paypal or send you an SAE to send them to me in.

I'll take the teddies down there at the end of November when the promotion ends and I'll post a pic on here to let everyone see how well we did.

Thanks for your time and apologies in advance for posting this on multiple forums but I want as many people to see this as possible.

Thanks!

What a great idea. You have a PM

[norfolkdumpling]

Have also sent you a PM as I have enough tokens for one if not two!

[tonyb]

contact me i have about seven that you can have ok

[angel]

I'm wondering if I've missed something here... what tokens and where do you get them from? :)

[matt987106]

i have no tokens, dont really shop in boots

but a very good idea, and this post will bump the thread up the board

good work

[amie]

u get the vouchers if u spend more than £5 in boots, u need to collect 10 tokens to get a toy
excellent idea addicted moneysaver, if i come across any ill let u know

[ANDYPANDY]

I also think this is a great idea (but shop in Boots rarely these days). Any chance this can get a sticky and stay as one of the top threads until end of Nov?

[sparky61]

I've got 11 for you. I've sent you a pm.

not got any vouchers at the mo but thought i would write a post to bump this back up to the top of the listings for you so everyone sees it! ;D

[jockettuk]

not every customer takes the vouchers has anyone thought to ask there local boots what they do with these vouchers.. mabey a box could be put at the end of each till for unwanted vouchers and then each day depending how much they have they could put away a toy or 2 for a local charity, hospital etc

[r.mac]

great idea jockettuk. :)

Do we have anyone reading this who works for Boots who could help???? ;D

[Al_Inshearah]

Nothing to add from what people have said before. Just wanted to keep this close to the top of the posts so that as many people read it as possible :)

[SophieHatter]

What a great idea Addicted Moneysaver! :D

I spent quite a bit in Boots the other day, so I'll hunt them out for you :)

Hope you get as many as you're hoping for! ;D

I'll PM you when I've found them!

Please can everyone remember that the closing date for this promotion is the 30th of Nov so please put them in the post before the 23rd!!

Thanks for everyone's help - 5 teddies collected so far and still collecting!! (I'll try to keep a running total in my Sig)

[angelcake]

Everyone gets given their voucher with their reciept.

Yes it is a good idea, hopefully the children will receive them. :o

[bugs]

This is such a sweet thing to do, it's nice to see people giving back.

If I actually find my local Boots has the things in stock that I want to buy, you can certainly have any I get. Good luck with the collection. (And I'm also partly replying to push this back up to the top).

[Pink-winged]

I should have 20 winging their way to me as we speak.

Will forward them asap.

A big thanks to everyone who has donated so far - current total = 15 teddies with plenty more vouchers still on their way! :o

Thanks to everyone for helping and please PM me if you have some vouchers you'd like to donate!

Also: Angelcake - don't worry, the kids will definitly get them. I'll try to post some pics on here so everyone can see how many we got and as proof that they were donated!

I am sorry I don't mean to be untrusting. It would be good to see the photos. :)

[gonzo10]

I asked my local Boots if they could collect the tokens that people didn't want and they said the manager won't allow it, not even for such a good cause!

[Gem+Dave+Kaci]

Hey everyone,

Quick update - new total = 49 teddies!!! They're taking over our flat!!

+ we're still expecting at least 200 tokens from people who have PMed us and about 140 tokens from an online order that's probably never gonna come (a bloody PS2)

Thanks everyone!

[wendiewoo]

dont forget to post last chance soon good luck
