    The only thing i wanted and couldnt get was the cupcake maker my grandson is into making cupcakes and it would of been great. I know it was for girls but who would know lol

    Hi, just wanted to say I was going to get the cupcake maker but checked reviews on argos site and changed my mind!

    http://www.argos.co.uk/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Search?storeId=10001&catalogId=1500002201&langId=-1&searchTerms=CUP+CAKE+MAKE

    'The refill packs are very expensive though as each set (two sachets) makes only one cupcake', ' It cant be returned as it classed as food stuff'
  • update for anyone going to Bury St Edmunds

    A couple of small shelves of stuff left - upstairs, hidden at the back although there was a whole stand of 75% off 'In the Night Garden' toys

    Christmas stuff - biscuits, chocs, Jamie's kids aprons, photo albums, star trek sets, buzz fizz with chocs, cuff links and a few other bits and bobs.
    Lots of wrapping paper/tags also.
    Always on the hunt for a bargain.

    Just opened my chilli pepper bag, didn't bother to open it before now as it had a tag across so knew it hadnt been opened...

    but just opened it to find it empty apart from cardboard and tissue paper.

    Gutted! rang boots and obviously they have none left, so i have to take it in and hopefully get a refund.

    Good job i opened it and didnt keep it till xmas for someone to open and find empty.


    So if you've got one and haven't checked inside make sure you do!

    Good tip! There was a men's toiletries giftset I looked in the other day in-store that was the same way - just a bag with none of the products inside. Someone probably stole those as there was no protective strip closing the pack. Can't believe some people! Always good to check.

    I got a couple of the mens No7 toiletry bag sets. When I checked it at home for any dated vouchers one of them had one of the items missing :(. Gave the rest of it to my OH - one less pressie for someone else. Still a good buy with the one item missing but still annoying. Some people are robbing b&*t&$£s!

    I haven't checked inside mine and they're now up in the loft so they'll have to stay there and hope they're full!! I did find that one of the Ted Baker sets I bought had a lip balm missing though
