    I would be delighted too. Could you get them something else to go with it?

    Yes, I've made her some presents as well but wanted to get her something nice from a shop to go with them! This lady (a close relative) likes the obscure and the unusual - she always makes a huge effort and delights me with her amazing presents that are always exactly right.
    I don't think she'd appreciate something that was seen to be so readily available! Perhaps I'm being too harsh as I personally would be delighted to be at the receiving end of this S&G - in fact I will be, and can't wait for Wednesday when I collect mine. The packaging alone is brilliant and I actually need everything in there.
    It's good to hear other people's viewpoints.

    oos online :( but am a cruel wife and send oh on a 1mile dirvert walk home to get me one (local has quite a few i rang them) If you are wondering why I say I am cruel we are in south wales and in my garden I have 11 1/2 inches of snow - well if he insists on a lunchtime xmas do in the snow i will ask him to do silly things lol

    I know...its crazy....I set my alarm to wait outside boots in Neath this morning, but couldn't get out the front door...Hope you're OH managed to pick you one up. I rang Neath last night and she told me they had plenty, and assuming with all this snow, no one would be daft enough to go out!
    :hello:No more toiletries challenge :T

    Why not order online, then that should give you a couple of days to get shovelling in the meantime!

    wow what a fab idea!!!! i love that may do something similar for my friends ones as the box/tote does look a little empty when first opened would just pad it out a bit! thanks for the idea :)

    What a fantastic prezzie, I can just imagine a pink bathrobe and slippers - they make bathrobes so soft now, not like that scratchy towelling stuff they used to be made of.
