    chaps I seem to be having a trouble posting, I don't know if it's an MSE thing or an AOL thing.
    Just wanted to say I've looked at all the lovely hampers you've all made over the last few days and they're all lovely presents.
    Well done to you all and thanks for showing the pics, some great inspiration. I have managed to hit the thanks button in the hamper pics only thread but it's running so sloooow.
  • Hello everyone - have become a wee bit addicted to this thread -

    Today I have managed to pick up a No7 eye make up remover £7, but got it for £2 with my last pinkie in Boots.

    In M&S today I picked up 6 mini bottles of their bucks fizz (looks posh) for 99p each (was £1.99) when I got to the till it was classed as wine so got another 10% off. (10% off 6 bottles)
    Also picked up a rather swanky looking M&S box of 440g chocs on half price (big promo) for £3.49.

    Superdrugs had Original Source shower gels 250ml each at 95p - grabbed 2 Lime and 2 almond and coconut - other scents available.

    In savers I picked up some lovely face cloths and baby pink exfoliating gloves which will go lovely with the soap and glory goodies I managed to get the otherday, lol.

    Lovely hampers everyone - picking up loads of tips and ideas.

    All the best
    Aggie

    2 paper popcorn bags (38p)
    one filled with microwaveable butter pupcorn (33p) and a cello bag of popcorn kernals (approx 10p)
