was given a next gift card for Christmas which failed to work online as usual, very disappointed as I like to get something from beaverbrooks but was unable to on this occasion
went to two different stores in my area to have a look at sale stuff, found one item which would have been nice to have an accompanying item even if not in my size but my real gripe is...
no full price items anywhere to be seen, shop full, in each department of sale stock
I understand you have much to sell but it would have been nice to see some other stock also, was looking for matching bra and brief sets and some decent blouses but nothing in sight unfortunately

So you'd rather have paid a higher price for the items but were disappointed to find that the prices weren't high enough??0

I really needed a matching brief and bra set for a special occasion and was unable to find one anywhere in either store, being willing to pay the extra for full price items I was disappointed yes
nothing else I need or want from next unfortunately0 -

To me, this is the beauty of a gift card - it doesn't need to be spent now, and instead can be kept until the new stock comes out and you're usually skint and can't buy anything :rotfl:
And then it feels like a real treat! :T
Bought is to buy. Brought is to bring.0 -
obviously I like a bargain but my voucher was for next and was unable to use it for jewellery online, so thought id treat myself to some lingerie in store but was unable to find anything suitable0

I'm intrigued now.
What special occasion needs you to display a matching brief and bra set?0 -

maybe it depends on the size of store. My local one had some regular stock at the back of the store and, as the sale stock diminishes, the more regular stock comes out. When is the special occasion? Can you wait a week or two?0 -
no I couldn't wait and it was worth it, thanks for asking0

Maybe they planned on getting run over? My old nan used to say to make sure you were wearing clean undies for when you got knocked down
(never could figure that saying out, surely you should be wearing clean undies anyway but secondly, wouldn't you pee when the car / bus / truck hit you? and why would they look at your undies?!)0 -
