I want to buy a punch bag/boxing gloves

LilacLillie

I want to buy a stand up punch bag with a pair of boxing gloves, in time for Xmas. I saw one recently in one of the usual booklets (Iwantoneof those/strageavenue??), type of booklets that are coming in thick and fast for Christmas.
Trouble is I'm putting them in the recycle just as quick, before I have a proper look at them.
That's how I know I've seen one in the not to distant past.
Any help, codes and/or direction to site would be most welcome.
Thanks in advance

i got one last year from Boots (really) the manchester branch that sells a lot of keep fit equipment, just had a look on the website and they still do them. They are currently on a 3 for 2 as well!

Is that the stand not included or the water/sand?

Thanks all................just ordered from Boots, double points and a £5 off code! Excellent.

it must be the water/sand cos it definitely comes with a stand.

LilacLille,

Do you know how long delivery takes from boots? My youngest wants one of these and the one I was going to buy tomorrow is £39.99 but looks exactly the same. The only thing is I'd have to be certain it would be here in time for Christmas.

Kimberly they definitely come with the stand...it's the sand/water you have to provide. The one I saw in a toy shop looked exactly like this one and was filled with water and was very stable.

Pink-winged, I ordered last night and it said normal delivery, quoting by the 19th Dec:
Mine is for a pressie as well, so hope it does come.
I ended up getting the punchball & stand £25.99, one of those things that you punch about, sort of full size red colour (?) £16.99, a poker game set £20 and a tin of choccie biscuits £5.
Got the first 3 on 3 for 2, triple points (not double as I said last night, it was late!), free P&P and a £5 off £50spend code from the discount vouchers thread (hence the choccie biscuits).
Total to pay £45!!!!!! Not much more than than you are thinking of spending on the punch bag alone.
I would have paid as much for the one item myself, if it were not for MSE.
I never buy anything anymore unless I check this site first. I even check if I am doing day to day shopping now!

The alternative is to pop into Boots if you have one of the large ones near you, as i said originally i got mine from Manchester Branch but that store is massive.
