    Just seen these in the M&S website:D . I think they'd make lovely sophisticated hampers- you could fill then wrap half open. Just a thought- quite a good price too- only £2.50.

    I've just bought 2 of these as my M&S vouchers and points came this morning. I had a 500 point voucher (worth £5) so even after delivery I got 2 for £3.50. Really chuffed with that. I'm off to log it as part of my £10 a day challenge too!

    How about a body scrub or lotion - Soap and Glory do small sizes for £2 and they are brill and not that small either. You can get them in boots too.
