    I always have a green marks bag with me. I go to the CS desk with my green bag, ask if its possible to have a gift certificate, very polite and humble, empty the bag, gaze hopelessly into it and sigh deeply that I have lost the receipt ....

    The girls scan the item and hopefully it will come up at full price and that is what your credit note will be

    Went to find a basket/box to create my hamper for my niece....Hmmmm.....It wasn't very successful having trudged around a few shops.....But a stroke of luck,...As I was walking through the city I saw a stall being set up and they were using wooden crates to display their bits and bobs...:think::think:..Bingo..:wall::wall:.It came to me in a flash. Why didn't I think of it before....I can make one with a pallet I have just acquired....Watch this space.....:D:D:D

    I've started to put a few bits together..Mainly glitched bits and will use my wombles for the rest....:rotfl::rotfl:..

    Ideas:think: please for what to put in it...

    So far Wine, crisps, chocolates, biscuits, candles....Going to get coffee, crackers and cheese....

    I thought this was a nice gift for a bloke from Livingsocial and its bookable on Sunday afternoons

    Might be an idea if you are planning a lop sided weekend break and you are booking one of the cheap Virgin east coast trains while the sale is on. Hotels are at their most cheapest on a Sunday night.

    Its only the city versions though - we have 2 small ones in our local towns - yes I know its barely credible isn't it, that we have something as trendy as Brew Dog.

    I've never seen the fishcakes not on the 2 for £3 offer but I think the t&c's say it's 1 x £1 off per transaction - still, 2 for £2 isn't bad
    Yes as they are delicious.
