that's the link in the email, I don't know if it only applies to those who have left/used them before? I wouldn't think it does looking at it, as I didn't use the same email address as I had used previously when I was with them and it let me do it ok

Sorry if this is dumb but so you get 1 big box of chocolates for the £7.95 and then you get another one free?
So it's like paying £3.98 per box (i.e per gift if you were going to gift them on) As this seems like a great deal and my husband LOVES hotel chocolat.

Thanks for posting the link

Edit: Just found a link which explains what the munch and nibble is (looks amazing) my hubby is allergic to nuts so if i got some of those cone cellophane bags the nutty ones I can put in my Mum's hamper for her and her bf and give my hubby the non nutty ones and it spreads that out a bit and the other one I would chose the elements and then might be able to spread that out among a person or 2 as well!

Well I am very disappointed in both the Poundland's in town - the most either of them have for Christmas is half an aisle with about 5 different things in - don't they know people want to buy things now?!

Also had a bit of a nightmare parking, nearly turned round and came straight back home cos the Boat Show is on for the next week (don't know how I forgot about that!) and every car park is packed with yacht-type people. However I persevered and have got a few more of the little things that I was after to add to the selection boxes and choc oranges I got in Tesco yesterday on offer

yes that's it, you get the big box (if you havent ever had it, it's a mixed box of 2 each of everything they are currently trialing, like fondants, liquers, nutty things etc, usdually has batons of different cocoa's they are trialing as well) then the Munch and nibbler box is a free gift, which rrp's at £8. Sounds like a very good idea to split it - there was another trial/new customer thing I remember seeing if you go to Hotel Chocolat and click on the Tasting Club link from there, think it was 9.95 for the tasting club box with a pack of Liquid Chocolat (drinking chocolate) free, if people prefer the hot chocolate for Christmas, it's amazing stuff, you bring milk to gentle boil and melt the liquid chocolat in it

btw, can I ask a favour? I keep checking it, but if anyone happens to see a good offer on the Olympics 2012 DVD for pre order, would you mind posting? Best I can see is 18.99 to preorder at Sainsburys, thanks!

If you pre order it on amazon they have their price guarantee?

I ordered avengers at £11 but then it got reduced to £8.99 so i got the difference back
