    Isn't the whole point of a lucky bag that you might get some things you love, and some things you hate?

    Quite surprised at the amount of people wanting to return them. If you are that worried that you aren't going to get anything ypu like, then spend your 35 quid on stuff that you know you will like. I bought one for my partner, and she only really likes two of the items - that's the way it goes. The other three itmes are in the back of the cupboard somewhere.

    Need to save up, lose weight, reduce my money worries and get back to being the real me! :j

    I'd agree with you, but I somehow thought that if I bought 2 bags the contents would be different. As it was I was stuck with 2 identical bags which is why I wanted to return one.
  • yey, these were sold out the last time I wanted one and with 20% off yippee...will buy it as a secret santa xmas pressie for myself :)

    The items that people are recieving in their good bags....are they or have they been on the website?

    Thanks

    I have recieved the lovely Navy dress shown on the left in one of mine.

    It looks a lot better on, and is a lot shorter than it looks in the pic. Mine stops a couple of inches above the knee. :)

    I have learnt my lesson :-) I was just hopeful that I would get something nicer than 4 basics that don't fit and a very nasty dress.

    Iis the dress that bad? Could we see a pic? :)

    Sometimes I've had things that I wasn't sure about that worked ok in the end. Definitely need to keep an open mind with their bags.

    I have sent it back now

    It was thin brown/khaki cotton with buttons down the front, no sleeves so the top was like a bikini and the rest of it gathered from the top in a sort of way to make even the flattest stomached person look pregnant. There was some embroidery on it too.

    It has gone back, hopefully to be composted as it was a crime against dresses :-)

    I sent mine back because out of the five items, four were T shirts and 3 were green.

    I received my replacement bag and the items are now random and much better.
    2 linen shirts, a beanie crochet hat, a pack of gruts and a couple of t shirts.

    Well done people tree on excellent customer service

    Thats the problem with goody bags. You have good, and bad goody-bag packers.

    If you have any item pics, it would be much appreciated.

    I've finally registered with imageshack, so will be doing so in future with mine. Its nice to know what others have got.

    Being good at the mo, as had a few this year. :A
  • Received my size 8 bag yesterday and much better then the last one, pretty much all nice things..

    This top which I really like :D

    This top which I think is a nice cut and very cute but because of the print not something I would wear

    Some trousers which are this exact style but a bit darker and 100% cotton unlike these pictures which are linen. Very nice, not tried on yet but think they will be too small for me, also I don't wear trousers with turn ups since I once caught my heel in the a turn up, fell over in the middle of the road and hit my head on a passing car :eek:

    A off white t shirt - which are always handy :D

    A bright green t shirt - not my colour at all.

    So a much better bag then last time, although I do wish I had some accessories again like my 1st bag.
