I looked at funky hampers today - some of our hampers would retail for £80 on there! We really, really do offer great value presents with lots of thought. A retro sweet hamper containing the sorts of things I put in my tin would cost up to 5 times as much on there. I was really shocked!Achieve FIRE/Mortgage Neutrality in 2030

Went to a rural shopping place at the weekend and saw something that I thought was a lovely gift but it had a horribly high price tag. A pair of fluffy slippers with 2 tubes of smellies, one inside each slipper. Think they were foot cream and foot scrub. Price was over £20 :eek::wave: If you want the rainbow, you've got to put up with the rain :wave:0
