Thanks Missli, I had a look and I think they only need over 35's at the mo? 2 years too young and I can't tell a porkie as they will have all my info on file! x

I received my 1/2 price Boxdelux yesterday. It was ok, but have cancelled my subscription as wasn't really for me

I received bittersweet mints £5.99
Handbag holder £15 - Utterly useless for me as put mine on a shelf, would have preferred a compact. Bit of a white elephant.
Moyra Cuticle Oil £4 - Will be used eventually when I've got through my dual purpose handcreams, and Dr Hauschka neem nail oil pens
AEOS oil based cleanser 30ml (RRP 75ml £39.99) - This makes it worth it for the half price deal
Epicerie De Lion - Large bag of detox tea (unsure of price, looks quality)
Shine Like A Celeb sparkle body cream sample (unsure of sample pot size, or full size but RRP £39 for full size, would never pay that much for body cream)- Will try when I'm out somewhere as expensive stuff

I liked the mints, although would have preferred a different flavour sweet. The cuticle oil will eventually be used, as will the body cream, although cannot see myself buying any of them.

I really liked the tea, and the cleansing oil best. I received a £20 off voucher for a £50 shop, so may use against the cleanser (wouldn't pay full-price), and some make-up from their shop as are things I'll use

I cancelled because I can't see myself paying £35 a month for this. Far too expensive when I can get 3 boxes practically for the same price. Was worth it as a one off 1/2 price box as was ok.

Most people would use a handbag holder when they go out e.g. in a pub/restaurant.
Saves it being on the floor getting dirty or stolen.
Have you mis-understood it's use? or do you sit by a shelf all day :-) (only joking)

ive been carrying a handbag for perhaps the best part of 30 years and I can honestly say I've never encountered a handbag holder...serious question, am I missing out?

The mind boggles...Ive just googled it....how have I managed without one!
The problem I think I would have with one is it would get lost in the bottom of my handbag along with all the countless pens ive got in there so by the time ive found it, its easier to just put the bag by my side.

I don't think you're missing out on anything. I think I got bought one once? I've never used it though, and tbh I don't think I've ever seen anyone use one?

I got mine today, very disappointed! Cancelling for sure. Oh well, on to the next!

I wouldn't want it hanging just anywhere, as more likely to get nicked, and go out only occasionally to pubs/restaurants (though did go out the other day ) I will put in my bag for when away, will be useful then.

Unless you've got it wrapped round a table leg then it's pretty easy for anyone to walk off with it.

No, no, no, you don't hang it just anywhere (geez this is suprisingly hard).
If you were sat at a table in a restaurant for example then you'd hang it just to the left or right of your thighs or perhaps on the side of the table if you are close to a wall where no-one can pass.
It would be much harder for someone to take from there than if it's just on the floor.

I've had loads of admiring glances at mine.

thats true...although when it sits on the table next to me then it would need to be a pretty brazen thief...

I also have in the past used the table leg..or indeed my own leg!!

and not wishing to cause offence but if I glanced someone using this peg thing then yes id glance but i dont think it would be admiringly...more quizzical...

But each to their own
Sorry to hijack the thread..its just ive never come across this type of handbag thing before!!
