Celia Birtwell lunch bag at Boots

I saw these cute lunch bags by Celia Birtwell at Boots for £1 the other day. They look roomier than the lunch bag on offer last year (which didn't seem big enough to hold your drink and sandwich & snack in the Boots' meal deal -- this one probably would just manage it), and they're very pretty.

    I got one the other day as my previous one - the recycled from a coke bottle one - has seen better days. This one is bigger as the bag ends are straight and the handles come from the top and are not part of the bag like the last one was. Don't get me wrong I loved the old one and used it daily for over a year - hope this one lasts as long!

    Bought mine today, don't forget they are only on sale until 22nd March.

    I actually think they would make great gift bags!

    Even if I'm on the shopping threads, it doesn't mean I'm buying! Sometimes it's good to just look and then hit the CLOSE button!

    Thanks OP, will look out for it in Boots when i next go in to do my top-ups!
  • I had several of these given to me when a Boots store (think it was Bath) was having one of the special points nights. The only difference is mine are black background.

    I wouldn't be surprised if some stores that have it are telling people they don't just because the employee asked has seen the bags but doesn't know they are by Celia Birtwell or that they're for Macmillan (even though that's clearly marked -- but Boots has so much stock I'm sure staff don't know the details of all of it!).

    I found mine near the main bank of tills, not near the sandwiches as others have (which would've made more sense!). So perhaps it's there but just in an odd location?
