    erm sorry to sound daft, where do i get the voucher from?
    I think Argos had an offer recently where they gave you a £5 voucher for a £50 spend.
    I picked them up on fri as a housewarming pressie for my mate, just need to find a vase too now.
    Booo!!!

    Thanks OP, great bargain.

    I put two sets of the silver in a red glass vase which is about 4" across at the top and about 16" high. One set I thought looked a bit mean.
    The white wire comes out of the top of the vase at the back (its against the wall) and falls behind the cupboard its standing on down to the transformer in the wall socket.

  • Got 1 of each of the white/cream & the silver. Using 1 set already. Been looking at them for a while, but not wanting to pay the full price for them
  • My mum saw mine all lit up on my fireplace,and decided she wanted a set, so I ended up buying another 2, a white set for my mum and silver set for my cousin, both birthdays coming up in November. :T
    When I went to pay for them, the checkout girl pointed out that originally they were about £25, reduced to £19.99, and so our £4.99 bargain price is even more of a good deal. She said she would get a set herself.:beer:

  • I bought 5 white sets last week. Im going to use them for decorations at my wedding in May, Ive got a black and white theme so they are perfect. Thank you OP.
  • I've been looking for a black vase myself for the white set, tallest are probably in Tesco so I'll keep an eye on them reducing :) Had a look in Homebase last night and they have a similar set of twigs in white priced at £9.99.
