    Thanks, I got some for gifts and some to keep for myself. I like the glasses in the sets, and the little bottles are handy to take if you are going to a hotel for a night :)

    I can't get the code to work - says criteria not met.

    EDIT: figured it out - seems it is £5 off a £25 spend (no idea why I thought it was £20).

    Is it ok to give alcohol as gifts to teachers? When I was at school it was all toiletry sets and After Eights lol.

    I'm a teacher and I can vouch that most teachers love alcohol gifts. They are much better than the 'for my teacher' mugs. Chocolates or alcohol see teachers through their holiday marking/planning.

    That is so ungrateful and rude :eek: Don't they know that some people buy gifts for the year in the Jan sales.

    If I was a teacher, I would like Bacardi. Hey, I am not a teacher but I still like it!

    As a gift for a teacher the Baileys or Wine is probably most suitable ...much as I like Bacardi myself!

    I bought some of the wine sets just before Christmas and the best before date was Nov 2011.
  • Does anyone have an idea what the best before dates are like on these sets? Wouldn't mind stocking up for gifts but not if they have really short dates on them TIA :-)

    I got hubby the Jim Beam set with chocolates for xmas, just checked the date on his and it says best before 01/2012! So good date on that one, not sure about others
