Crabtree & Evelyn £3 Handcream Loophole

I went to the Crabtree & Evelyn website from the discount codes page on the MSE site to look at the discounted gift packs (Mum's birthday in a couple of weeks, feel little uninspired right now!). No joy there but I found a good consolation prize:
They are doing an offer until the 13th October for any of their 50ml handcreams (£7 pop normally) for £3 when you buy any other item. Great I thought but lavender or gardener's version? Popped both in my basket and through some loophole that means their system doesn't recognise that the other item is a) also a handcream and b) therefore already discounted. I got both for £3 each! With £1 on postage, that make a BOGOF! :T
I'll put one away for the Christmas stash, I'll put it with something else to make a wee boxed gift (maybe track down some cotton gloves for one of those hand treatment gifts)
Don't know if this was a fluke, or if it would work with more than 2 tubes, but good luck and I hope it works for you too!

Thanks for that!! Worked for me with the Lavender and Nantucket Brian Hand creams - £7 including p&p! Nice one!!0 -
And it gets better - add 5 of the hand creams for £15, get the free Henley bag (free with orders over £30), as it seems to be using the £7 price as the trigger.0

Great find OP. I just ordered two handcreams and they came up as £3 each plus the £1 delivery charge. Two prezzies sorted. :beer:'Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.' :cool:
