    This set is not a bargain. The total contents is 500ml, and a normal MB shower gel is £15.65, so the full value of the set is £26. You are only saving £6.50, so hardly a bargain.

    This set is better value, where you are getting 600ml for £18.50.
    Gone ... or have I?
  • I thought the saving of £6.50 was ok, but some of the gift sets have a glass arc holder with them and with the 2 500ml bottles it's £36.50, i purchased one of these.
    I also purchased 3 of the sets highlighted by dmg24 above....

    ... many thanks for posting and that's some christmas gifts sorted for next year ;-)
  • The best deals for Molton Brown tend to be via their outlet stores. The Christmas gift sets should be available in store, or will be arriving very shortly. They are usually at about 50% off.

    The arc sets that people have mentioned might be good value in JL. As a point of reference, they were selling these at Molton Brown Cheshire Oaks for £23 including chrome arc and a full size hand lotion and matching soap.
  • yes I saw it and thought it was still too expensive

    I am ashamed to say that I bought this in the Bluewater Molton Brown store a couple of months ago for just over £100 :eek: £36.50 - bargain!!!

    Thanks, it might not be as good a deal for price/ml but as it's in small bottles it can be split up into more little pressies than the bigger bottle deal, which means saving money that way. cheers
