matalan ribbon

boobless

can anyone help me find a beautiful wired ribbon i have seen in matalan, sadly they only had 1 opened and grubby roll left, i have been to my 3 nearest stores with no luck

it is about 3" wide, white satin with a snowflake embossed on it, i dont know how to put a link to the picture on matalan xmas site.

or if you think you might have seen something like it and know the store please let me know - i have scoured web pages but can see nothing even close.

many thanks

This one, well I am going to our local store next week and will have a look for you, if they have some I'll get one and post it to you

You can order online from them I think but no idea what the postage costs are.

thanks lil-me

had a good look at their site but you cant order on line, they advise to ring each store in turn, and i dont want to spend huge amounts on phone calls for a few pounds of ribbon.

thank you so much for your kind offer, i would be very grateful

If they have some how many rolls do you need ?

Probably be going Monday if noone else finds you some before then.

And no problem, nothing more frustrating than not being able to find something

Not much help with this ribbon I know, but worth waiting until after Christmas to buy for next year. I got 10 rolls of burdundy, metellic stretchy cord in Tesco at the start of the year, when the new year sale started, reduced from 95p to 10p each. I also got lots of tags with similar reducions. The cord can be used year round for other presents, as can non-christmassy paper. Tesco often has reductions like this to get rid of the last few items - probably cheaper than them paying for waste disposal.

Had a look in local Matalan here but they didn't have any ribbon at all . Just the narrow curling one - sorry!

been to local store again, still no ribbon, i asked assistant if they could advise when they renew their stock or had a delivery " well dont know coz the lorry comes tuesday innit an if it there it gets put out to sell sometimes fridays " - ok fine i will check again tuesday or was that friday or wednesday if the lorry comes tuesday.

oh dear matalan your sales and customer service staff are letting you down badly - if i didnt want this so much i wouldnt bother going back there to shop. :mad:

Have seen some lovely ribbon on sale at Au natural. Don't know the price but I am sure it was cheap.
