£25 hobbs gift card with Red magazine

*manda*

I have 3 that I intend to use next weekend as we'll be in Brum. Is it a good sized shop? Never been in one that I recall! Too expensive normally!

I have six voucher cards burning a hole in my purse at the moment and have used 5 so far in Birmingham branch. There was a woman in front of me who spent £700 - and had no vouchers! Birmingham staff are great - will be going in again soon.....

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've used one so far and have 3 more, but there are LOTS of issues of Red in my local newsagents... tempted! Should I buy more?

I have two of the Victoria tops, the Lorell top, the NW3 Finch top, and my bestest one of all, the Berkshire t shirt. I love them all. I am becoming a Hobbs Junkie which I suspect is what they wanted all along....but hey, I'm happy! As we have til May to spend it, I think I may hold back for a few weeks now and let them re-stock.

It depends on your situation but you have to decide if you would buy the stuff from Hobbs if it were £25 cheaper (or £21.40 cheaper if you take in to account the price of the magazine). For me, I would never step inside a Hobbs because it's too pricey for my wallet - at £25 off, I am really happy to buy the camisole tops at just the price of the magazine. They're great for wearing under sheer blouses and as I'm losing weight, they're good enough quality to contract with me.

You also need to work out if you're buying stuff just because it's £25 off and not because you need it (or really want it).

I think they are making it up as they go along . The sales !!! told my sister its getting out of hand the people just going in buying cheap tops /camis fisher tops etc and said they had a memo saying it cant be used on tops anymore but can be used on selected knitwear items x

They can't do that - the T&Cs should stand! Are they so naive that they didn't realise that this would happen? :eek:
