    Well I made it into work today and it was worth it! I went to Boots to spend my £5 No. 7 voucher (free from my Mum as she wasn't spending it) and I got:

    No7 Men's face Wash - RRP £6.50
    No.7 Men's Face Scrub - RRP £6.50
    No. 7 Men's Shaving balm - RRP £6.50
    All on 3 for 2 then £5 off with the voucher
    I spent - £8

    Then... I received a new £5 No.7 Voucher with which I bought the No.7 Super Slim Cellulite Cream which is RRP £5 but free with the voucher!

    That's a total RRP of £24.50 for the grand total of £8! All for my His and Hers pamper hamper for in-laws No.2. I usually spend around £30 on them so i hope to spend only £15 this year.

    well done! is the men's No7 gift with purchase still on cos you should have got that too. it is a men's bag with loads of minis in. might be worth checking and asking instore.

    It certainly does, how thick was it? the ones I saw were in my local interflora which is within walking distance, unfortunately the nearest works is approx 20 ish miles away so cheaper for me to buy locally on this occasion. The ones in interflora were approx 2 inches wide :)

    I expect this is posted elsewhere but I've just seen that Play.com are doing a selection of DVDs for £1 each if anyone is doing kids 'night in' hampers. You need a code from a promotional Nestle cereals box and I'm not sure what the situation is on p&p

    :j Sian- I found that you can just copy and paste pictures onto your thread, if you can get a picture onto a word programme on your computer so you can pick how big the picture is, then just press copy and paste it here in your thread
    HTH
