Sounds like I got exactly the same contents. Although the body wash wasn't full sized, it was somewhere between full sized and travel sized. I like my producst, but I was a bit diappointed to have only two proper full sized and a few smaller items, one of which was just a little sample really. I haven't worked out the original values, but it didn't seem like everythign was worth £60, as they claimed.

I thought last year's bags were better in terms of quantities, but at least I didn't get any duplicate products this time (I still haven't used up all the Radiance shower wash from last time )

I got the same and have had a bit of a tot up and can't get the amount to anywhere near £60. I like what is there and the hand salve and night cream brought the total to about £30 but can't see how the rest could be worth another £30 as they are all sample/travel sizes except the lips balms

Was tempted to email and enquire about how they priced the grab bags but didn't want to look rude!

Got mine today in a nice little mesh bag. Hand salve, Ageless night cream, both full size; pleased as these were not in my bag last year. 88.7 ml radiance exfoliating body wash, 29.5ml super shiny shampoo, 29.5ml conditioner, 3 different lip salves, 15g deep pore scrub, 8.5g lemon butter cuticle cream and 2.8g sensitive daily moisturiser. Well worth £20 but really nowhere near the claimed £60. Not sure it's quite as good as last year's and not sure I would go for it again next year. Always fun to receive a lucky dip though!

It looks like we have all received the same items in the bags. I didnt feel it was £60 worth of stuff, maybe £30 ish at a push. I wont be buying one of these again.

The Body Shop offer before Xmas was much better and the same price although you would have to like the body butters as you got 3 but I love them and they were full size ones.

Also check the use by dates on the Burts stuff. The lip balms have a best before of March 2013!

They took my £40 on the 30th and its not been dispatched so I emailed them to cancel and refund, they have replied so I guess this is going to be a fight to get my money back.

I'm intrigued as to why lip balm has a best before date, I have some which are years old and it has never occurred to me that they may 'go off'.
