I've done the DFW/MSE version of that hamper. i've replaced all the items in the F+M hamper with Tesco equivalents for us more discerning hamper buyers.....(because what do we need with a 14 pound jar of chunk comb honey? :rotfl: )

It contains

Tesco Value Coffee 100g 38p
Tesco Detox mask 97p
Tesco Value Liver pate 43p
Tesco Value Balsamic Vinegar 99p
Tesco Salmon fillets (8) 9.99
John West Caviar 1.48

Tesco luggage tags 12.00 (ouch!) :eek:

Presented in a load of British plastic carrier bags :rotfl:

now, I know that a packet of Tesco sandwich ham isn't the same as a 5.7kg piece of Highgrove ham but you'd be sick of it after a couple of days, surely?? :eek: And, I reckon we've all got a caviar glass dish in the cupboard somewhere so obviously Tesco don't need to sell us one of those :rolleyes: I'd also pick up a freeby magazine or leaflet or two instead of their dreary 300 year book!

Fortnum and Mason total: £20,000 :eek:

MSE/DFW Hamper total: £84.07 :T :rotfl: (and that's with the fancy leather luggage tags!!!)

Tesco............because every little £19,915.93 helps.........

and do gentlemen need jewellery boxes? the ones I do certainly don't!
the cashmere socks would just bring me out in a rash anyway.

I'd rather have champagne than cava but could still bring it in for less than £100. I see the cherry lambrini snuck in there all by itself...

I just wanted to say Snaggles, that I really love your signature and your way of looking at your family's situation. I hope it gets easier for you.

A good box, is like it's own little jewel...

simple joys of being a DFW - I am ridiculously delighted that someone sent me a freebie of six wee soaps with some stuff I'd ordered for xmas. who needs F&M!!!
