Just spotted this on the Debenhams Website 90% off £17.50 instead of £175.00, might be of interest to someone. Theres probably a discount code floating around somewhere aswell.

Before anyone rushes to buy this at the bargain price, it is sold on the Graham and Brown website for the correct price of £17.50.

Typical Debenhams sales strategy of over estimating the real retail value.Comping wishlist for 2017

Thanks Savvybunny, Its not my sort of thing but never thought to look on the Graham and Brown Website. Sorry if anyone bought this thinking they were getting a bargain!!!!0

I am shocked that Debenhams have the cheek to have charged/marked this up to £175.00.0

£175?! What the heck?! I have made several of these as gifts for friends using either a heart or butterfly (about £10 but I had these already anyway) and a similar frame is £3 in B&M. It takes about 5 minutes and is ridiculously easy. I wouldn't pay £17.50 never mind £175!0

I was just about to say the same thing!!
I too have made a few of these using a heart punch I already had a cheap frame I found in B&Q. I even got some wallpaper samples at B&Q at the same time to punch my hearts out off.
It would make a nice gift though and thanks OP for posting. I don't mean to put down your post - just trying to save a few more pounds for MSE'sMortgage - £2338.07 paid off Feb 2023 BTL 1 £51,089.10 £35789.36 paid off July 2025 BTL 2 £81,504.52 BTL 3 £77,497.020 -
