    You do need to be aware of this if you are going to give this as a gift, minus the voucher. The bottom of the box mentions the voucher, just above the description of the chocolates which may indicate that someone has tampered with them !!!

    The voucher I have is valid until 04/04/11. Hope this helps

    I nipped into thorntons earlier about 4.50pm and grabbed 1 box, asked the SA if i could take the voucher out and use it there and then and she said yes, quick before my boss comes back, so i got my box for £4.99. 75% OFF.

    The voucher is right on the top once you remove the lid, so you dont have to disturb the chocs, but you do have to break the seal which is easily resealed to give as a gift.

    The vouchers has NO minimum spend but you cant use it on the 175g box which is £5.99, so this giant box is really the best value at the moment.

    The box is HUGE and looks lovely in the new packaging.
    :money:Nice work PrincessWoo! :D

    My chics are for my dad so he wont mind that ive taken the voucher out, i might nipo back again tommorrow as it on my way to/from college.

    Even if they dont let me do the same again its still a bargain.

    They were putting all the xmas stock out and it looked fantastic.

    I could easily spend a small fortune in there on chocs for everyone.

  • I asked too but my S/A currectly said NO- to be fair rules are clear, voucher can only be used on Continental which is NOT on any other promo. costing over £5.99 so it cant be used on this limited edition already half price equivalent box. Seems mabye, if you are indeed a princess you charmed the S/A !!!
  • Just ordered but the order shows the quantity to be 1. Do you automatically get 2, I hope so !!

    i popped into my local store and picked two up and they were £9.99 each! big display, only a few had been sold.

    I didnt ask if i could use the vouchers because the sa was having a right winge about the customer she served before me as she was on the phone while paying! she was proper slatin her, so i thought id better leave it, im sure i'll use them.........(!)
