    It's just my opinion, but I think the orange boxes with the flowery things all over them look pretty awful. I am guessing this is the reason why boots are knocking them out at such a discount. Was gonna give 2 to my sisters but I'm not sure if I can get away with that, so might have to give them to lesser people like my auntie and my girlfriends mum

    The pattern is very much part of the Sanctuary brand.

    Well I got my delivery of the other items and as I suspected no Sanctuary boxes - invoice said they were sold out.

    None left in the two stores in the town where I live and offer finishes today :(

    I'm glad everyone else got theirs but I wish I hadn't bothered ordering online and had just bought 3 in the shop when I saw them. Don't know why the system let me put three in my basket and checkout and pay. It's meant to be real time.

    Did no-one else have their orders from Tuesday morning onwards cancelled even though the system allowed them to place them? Surely it can't just be me.

    OK, fair enough - you're entitled to your opinion. I've never used these products before but when I had a look at them in the shops, I thought they were lovely. Obviously lots of other people do too. I don't think they're minging. I quite like flowers ;)

    PS I hope your auntie and your possible MIL2B don't read this thread, or you're toast, mate! :p

  • To be honest I was unaware Sanctuary was a proper band. Are they considered of good quality? If this is the website it looks decent enough:

    It is just the box that I think looks bad you see. When you open the box evrythings fine as the products look good and it even has a nice smell about it! I'm just worried that whichever female member of my family opens it their first impression might be that it's a bit, well, minging

    Haha I'll take my chances :p
