i think i got the boxes from boots, they were just sitting about and it turns out they were from stocking up, i asked nicely and was given them

superdrugs a good place to get them too, anywhere that sells little things that will be shipped in small boxes like make-up etc.

can answer the mini bottles - its not proper champagne, its Perry - there 89p in homebargains x

hi, they were proper champagnes, its a common misconception. anything fizzy made within the champagne region may be named champagne. there are very cheap champagnes just as there are very expensive cavas, the difference is geographical.
