    Yesterday in M&S in Beverley, they were selling off bath products for £1. I'm not sure what the original price is/was.

    These included large size bath foams, hand and body lotions, shower gels (pump action), roll-on anti-perspirants etc. There was a range of about 6 or 7 products for each fragrance, but mainly in the Coconut Milk and Cocoa Butter & Vanilla range. There was some limited stock of Aloe Vera fragrance and some others I've forgotten.

    The shelves were labelled, so it's possibly a nationwide offer, but they were tucked away in a corner below the more popular (and more expensive) bath products.

    They're not in the Molton Brown type of containers lol, but would still make a tidy looking hamper on their own (or as fillers for existing hampers ;))

    you might not want to get too excited about wrapping.. i needed several hairbands to do mine lmao and then i cut off the thin pully bits off one of my bows when i actually wanted to curl it.. trial and error i guess :D

    I've just realised that those toiletries I mentioned in post #1274 are the ones included in the Ingredients Hamper on the M&S website priced at £49.50 - Product Code: T200842 (On 3 for 2 at the moment).

    And looking at their hamper, I think I can make one for about a third of the price ;)
