    You can pick the collect from store option rather than spend another 10 quid for home delivery.

    As long as they have different bar codes and they don't specify they can't be used then you should be fine. Always try, the worst that can happen is the till bleeps!

    although i was a regular i hadn't been to Boots since January so clean forgot-i always used to be so well prepared...

    They so weren't worth £35! Barely even worth £17.50, with tiny travel sized items in it.
    What a con.

    Worth £11.67 each though I reckon!
    I'm happy with mine for pressies - my mum loves Sanctuary stuff :)

    Not worth £35 but easily worth £17.50:

    Perfume 50ml is worth about £10 based on the cost of the 70ml bottle
    Mande Lular souffle - about £2.80
    Body Butter - about £4

    Then the smaller travel sizes all retail for around £2.

    Plus, if you got it on 3 for 2, it's actually only £11.67 for each box.

    Looking at the prices of the individual items and comparing prices per 100ml for other items, i say it IS worth the £17.50.
    The box is useful too.
    The extra points also add to the value.
    You cant please all the people all the time.
    If you dont like, dont buy, dont go on a forum wingeing, it adds nothing to the discussion.
    Thanks to everyone for the USEFUL posts and chat about the item.

    I wasn't wingeing [sic] merely pointing out that its not such a bargain.
    As for adding nothing to the discussion, what a laugh! MSE is full of people adding nothing to discussions. The post above my first one for an example, does it add to the discussion the fact that 'Echo' hadn't been to Boots since January?
    Nope.

    I was adding to the discussion that its not a bargain and in fact, at full price, something of a con.

    There is no need to be so critical of a person merely giving their opinion. Forums (?fora) are about debate. All views, bar extreme, deliberately provocative ones, are welcome. People place different values on an item. It is by no means clear-cut that the Sanctuary gift set is or is not worth £17.50. Galvanizersbaby says her mother loves Sanctuary stuff. So she would consider buying at the full price and £17.50 is a bargain. However, if you consider what else you can get for £17.50, someone else may find the Sanctuary gift set overpriced even at £17.50. In fact Deeds may be helping someone by warning them to check that they are happy with what they are getting for their money before they buy. I presume the gift set is sealed so once you open it to check the contents you can't take it back.

    Having a go at someone who doesn't agree with your view is just not very adult.
