Mine arrived today. Beautiful sturdy box....filled with choccies......mmmmm......now do I really want to share it all?

I'd say it is well worth the money and would make a lovely gift especially coz the box is so nice!:j

I agree with zaffybabe,Decent sized box,heavy in weight..only problem i have is that Santa has arrived smashed to smithereens:(...cant believe it..I got the massive Thorntons box last year and all the figures arrived intact,im just about to phone Thorntons now.

Does anyone know if I can split the festive delights hamper up without it being obvious? There are quite a few bits in there that I intended to buy separately for gifts that will come to pretty much the £30 so will use the extras for stocking stuffers for the kids.
Don't want to buy though if it is blatantly obvious that they came from a hamper, iykwim?

Items could quite easily be given as individual gifts,the only thing thats different is the actual box it comes in,the products are all just the same as those you can buy seperately.

Update re; smashed Santa...Thorntons will send me a replacement,and i can keep the smashed one if its edible...I told sales assistant,Chocolate is always edible.:p

My hamper arrived today and I am very happy with it. Several prezzies sorted:j. I was hesitant to order after a disaster last year (took weeks to arrive and when it did, the box that was supposed to have a £100 hamper in just had a smashed chocolate reindeer and a sainsburys wine carrying box in it!!!)

ordered 2 of the £50 hampers last night , using codes from quidco.
got them last year as gifts and the people were extremely happy with them , thing is though even as i bought two with total of £80 was still charged postage , didnt realise till after paying , doesnt seem right somehow as its meant to be free over £50 spend , or does it only mean free if sent to the same address?

Just had my festive delights hamper, the Santa is smashed, have emailed them. Good value for £24 but wouldn't pay anymore for it.

The free postage would only apply if sending to one address

Mine has too, I'll be calling them in the morning. Glad you got a replacement sorted out.

seems a bit odd that our Santas are smashed,but reighndeers are all intact,the packaging on my santa was even broke,but the external delivery box and actual hamper box are unmarked and intact...hope Thorntons havent been sneaky by throwing in smashed Santas!!....hope my replacement arrives intact....Sales assistant said i can take the smashed one to a store for replacement,but i chose delivery.

My santa arrived smashed to smithereens too, but it ended up even more bashed by the time we had finished with it ROTFLMAO!, a replacement is on its way.
