I nipped into the Leeds City Centre Boots in Albion Street (which is a big store) about an hour ago, and I couldn't see ANY hatboxes. The shelves that I remember them being on last week are now stacked sky-high with the Big Bather barrels.

Can't order online, because I need them as Christmas presents, and they might not turn up in time, but really, really want them as presents for my two best friends. I've just been made redundant, and they've been so incredibly supportive, and I can just about afford the £40, but am a bit screwed on what to get them if Leeds isn't stocking the hatboxes!

Anyone in the area got any ideas about the situation in the Leeds store? Have I just been really blind, and someone else has seen millions of them stacked somewhere?

I think your best bet is to ring them and ask how much stock they have?

I popped into the boots in lEwisham today to see how many they had. I counted 12 :eek:

Think Im going to stay up & buy online. Wont be hard as I've got tonnes of work to do so at least the S&G will be a little reward for myself

just rang my store, it opens at 9, I asked about the hatboxes and the guy said we've got some today, but not sure about tomorow?? don't think he was too sure about anything tbh. Also our store is open normal hours on boxing day 9-6 so I think I'll try and get down for 9 for the sale.

Thanks, clearmydebts - can't get through to them, though, and they don't close for a while! Not looking good...
