    I've just ordered 2 filled vanity cases (1 for a present and 1 for me! :D), I also bought a 1/2 price bathrobe for £12.50 plus a rejuvenating bath soak for £3.00 (instead of £8.30!). With a 10% off voucher code (which I did a google for!) and free delivery, it came to £27.45.

    I'm very impressed, thanks OP. :T

    I went to the Body Shop outlet at Street yesterday and they had a gorgeous white musk gift set in a large purple case reduced from £35 to £12, it really was beautiful. Can't see it on the web site but it contained body butter, shower gel, perfume, body lotion, shower lily and 1 other thing I can't remember. They were full size not teeny ones.

    They also had a "Purify" set in a cosmetic type bag for £4 instead of £18 (but not really worth £18 IMHO) that will make lovely presents for teachers etc. This is the link for that one

    Hope that helps someone

  • Have ordered the filled vanity case and will keep it for a Christmas present, thats the second Christmas present I have bought this week!! The most organised I've ever been, and the most thrifty as both were in sales!!

    Thanks to the OP, brilliant find!! :T

    Not too keen on the greeny one as there have been lots of negative reviews, dont want to faff around changing bags over etc!!!

    I ordered the brown one for myself, I fancied the mango butter, and it arrived today. I actually quite like it, but I wouldn't give it as a gift. The products seem tiny, they really rattle around in it. It's clearly a freebie, and the expired voucher inside even says so! I like the case, although it's quite masculine and the handle is ugly. It's big, has pockets etc. and I needed one anyhow :)

    I can't wait for my cream vanity cases and beauty bags to arrive. I notice that they have diappeared from the site! Thanks again to the OP.

    Still tempted by the bathrobe but the reviews all say that it's quite long and I'm only short... :o

  • Not sure if I am justified in feeling cheated but I ordered up a few of the bargain £10 vanity cases and found a card inside saying 'I hope you enjoy your free gift'!
    Is the body shop merely fobbing off excess stock of free gifts from another offer on us or have I totally got the wrong end of the stick?

    Either way I would call it a reasonable purchase for £10, not a fantastic bargain. And the items are totally lost in the huge case so not the best looking of gifts. Maybe I should keep it all for myself!!
    oh well- some people are never happy......;)
