  • Sanctuary top to toe looks a really good deal if it goes to the weekly gift of the week at £20!!

    I think the champneys gift this week is still a little bit poor for £24 certainly wouldn't pay £45/50 full price..

    Thanks for above :)

    Champney's Complete Home Spa is only worth £27.37 excluding the bag, bit of a rip-off really :(

    Not a problem, I might try and work out their big set later :money:

    Do they have it in store at that price? I might have to have a look.....
