    I have got the bathrobe and also the clock radio. It is OK but have not really tested it yet. I raided all the office supplies for my beans...............
    No Matter what you do there will be critics.
  • I have just thrown away 43 nescafe beans. There is an expiry date on them, which I have only just noticed. I had beans date 2006, 2007, just 12 dated 2008. There are supposed to be kitchen scales on offer soon. Bathrobes are good, towels ok. Mugs chunky, toiletries mine remain unopened, weekender bags are a bargain, if a little heavy.
  • Up to now i've had:

    6 x Mugs

    1 x radio

    1 x bathrobe

    6 x dvd rentals

    1 x weekend bag


    i've still got about 60 beans,just waiting see if they put more stuff on:money:
  • I collect these, in the past couple of years I have had:

    1 x Bathrobe
    2 x Slipper and towel sets
    1 x Kitchen set (apron, oven glove etc)

    Intend on collecting them again this year, and getting something else. My work has nescafe, so tend to have the vouchers from the jars at work, so no cost to myself :j

    Don't throw away out of date beans. I had loads and mixed them with new beans and got loads of goodies. Hope that made sense :confused:

    agree with above post - Id been saving the beans for ages and when I got round to sending them off realised that there were expiry dates on them. I just cut off the expiry date and stuck them to the voucher. Received my gifts no problem. Had two bathrobes and they are very good quality.

    I've now had 3 bathrobes and 2 sets of Towel/Slippers.
    The robes are excellent quality though not big enough for me - probably up to a size 18 or so.
    White, heavy velour jobbies - very nice indeed - no embroidery, though the necklabel does have reference to Nescafe - but a pair of scissor could sort that out!
    The towels are velour ones too - smaller than a bathtowel but larger than a handtowel.
    The slippers a also in the white velour, lightweight and probably a maximum Size 8 for the large size.

    Well worth persuading your office to convert to Nescafe or Gold Blend :)
