Embarrassing items to pick up from Next

Options

Comments

  • I have ordered some items from next (boots!) to be precise and wanted to know how they are packaged for collection? Do they come in sealed bags like stuff from John Lewis, or will I have the embarrassment of obviously being a man buying women's shoes?

    Sorry if I have posted this in the wrong area but I thought you sassy shoppers would be able to help!


    No they will come in a parcel bag like you get when they get sent to your house.

    I feel your pain. I had to pick up a Man City shirt from Sports Direct the other week.

    LMAO, oooh my. What would you do if she asked you to pick up, some underwear, or tampons, breast pads, and an adult toy. All of which at some point over the years, my partner has purchased numerous times. Thankfully has never bothered him. You go in head held high and proud, for things like this. I can tell you the women behind the counter with only think, what a lovely considerate partner. They will not be thinking anything else. Also thankyou for making me laugh today.

    What I don't get is why you would order them to store at all if you were so concerned ,this has to be a wind up right also agree with pp ,I work in a shop and many men come in for sanitary products and we don't bat an eyelid.
    Are the boots for you ,then ??

    I love this post.

    We had a hire car for a few days once, and my little girl left a CD in the CD player. My husband had to ring the car hire firm and ask if they had his 'Pop Princesses' Cd. It still tickles me to think of it!
