    I just checked to see when I bought my hamperfrom Tesco last year at 75% off. It was as early as 3rd Jan. They still seem to be in stock, so let's hope they reduce them again quite soon.

    I bought some of the hampers last night and had a confirmation email. Just had an email saying the non-hamper (school stuff) has been posted with £1.50 delivery so who knows what's happening????

    I emailed customer services as they'd charged me for delivery for hampers and have just had this reply. (As you can see I got a bit carried away).

    I ordered the 'Celebration' hamper because it should have been £80 and it comes with the following, in a lidded willlow basket:
    I'm giving the mulled wine to my priest for Christmas 09, the 2 x bottle of wine to my dad as part of his birthday present, me and the kids are eating all the goodies like, cakes, biscuits, chocs and pud, and the basket will be used to make up a hamper i'll be making for my parents for Christmas 09 (filled with lakeland goodies i bought in the 60% 0ff sale).

    I'm chuffed to bits to be so organised so ealry on in the year!

    :rolleyes: I recieved my Hamper and Best before dates are all 11/02/09 :j
    :) If you see someone without a smile give them one of yours, :)

    Well they wouldn't be selling them this cheaply if there wasn't a good reason to.

    Just in case anyone is thinking of ordering any that may still be in stock, the port and mints hamper - the port has no best before date but the chocs should be eaten before 17/03/09. That's fine.

    The Celebrate hamper:

    Large box of chocs BBD 03/02/09
    Brandy Butter BBD end of May
    Spiced Chutney BBD August 09
    Strawberry and Champagne Conserve BBD June 09
    Classic Christmas Cake BBD 23rd Feb 09
    Christmas Pudding BBD 11/02/09
    Large box of Shortbread BBD 28th Jan 09
    Teabags BBD Sept 09
    Ground Coffee Sept 09
    White wine no BBD
    Red wine no BBD
    Mulled wine no BBD

    Hope that helps!

    p.s. Emailed M and S and got £3.30 delivery refunded too!
