    A lot of the hampers are now back on sale again - there are 9 different ones again, including the Best of British and the Glutton's hamper, which sold out quite quickly before.

    Maybe they have had a few returned to them from the stores?

    They are doing the 'without' trick again: The 'Thank You' hamper is now being sold 'without champagne' and they have already photoshopped the champagne out!

    ... but it is the postage that is the killer!

    you could fit the contents of the thank you one in an envelope never mind a hamper.

  • I ordered the mothers ruin. I fancy trying that gin. But really with postage it's only worth it if you want a free basket and marigolds. The baskets look nice so hopefully I will bbe happy. I also bought the kids one again still not really cheap taking into account the postage but I have three boys and two of them have birthday parties in Feb. May be some prizes and easter gifts for them. Slightly different items than I would have otherwise bought so hopefully worth it. I like the look of the hamper baskets. I hope they are as good as they look.


    I bought this one too, its a good deal as Hendricks gin is lush and sells for between £20 - £25 anyway. :T

    Not only have they removed the champers from the Thank You hamper, but they've also removed the £35 Dyptique candle!

    So they remove £50-worth of champagne and £35-worth of candle, and still claim it has 75% off.

    Who's been looting the hampers, do you think??!!

    What a bunch of idiots they are. :rolleyes:

    I've emailed them to ask what they're playing at.

    I bet they've had a sneaky peek inside the crackers too, while they were under the influence of all that champagne they've pilfered from the hampers. I'd be surprised if there's a winner in one of them.
  • Here is the description for the revised "Thank You Hamper Without Champagne":rolleyes:

    An elegant champagne gift set, the Thank You Hamper is an original way to show how much you appreciate corporate clients, friends and family.

    What's next? The Mother's Ruin Hamper without the Gin?
    Hopeless by name, hopeless by nature.

    How impressed those important clients will be, with a pack of pencils, a pad and 6 teeny biscuits. :rolleyes:

    I reckon you could do that hamper yourself for under a quid.

    Do you think that they're monitoring this thread.... :eek:

    I don't suppose any of you took a screen shot of the thank you hamper before it was photoshopped into pointlessness? No champagne, no candle & no chocolates! What are they going to do, have some romantic staff parties at Selfridges? :rolleyes:
