Hi pollsdolls

It's like a thin cardboard,pretty as you said, and I got one as bought 3 for 2 for a few odds and ends for hampers. I also (inadvertently lol) ordered the 3 for 2 online yesterday thinking that the 3 minis shown with the bag, were free! I was so embarrassed when I realised it as I'd been posting about how misleading that picture is.

Suffice to say, I'll be mailing CS, or returning the order

Please can you let us know the response you get from CS - the photo on the website was sooo misleading, showing 3 Sanctuary minis with the bag!Shocking! Bet loads of people bought things expecting the bag complete with goodies. Good luck!

Just wanted to report back on the big £20 Sanctuary gift set (the one on the Mothers Day gift stand, at my branch in Fort Kinnaird anyway.) It contains a good solid £20 of products, the bag itself is excellent (base compartment, plastic lined upper compartment with interior zipped pocket) and it contains yet another £3 off any Sanctuary product voucher, valid to August.

I used a £3 off voucher (from current GWP) to pay for it, got the GWP for spending over £10 on Sanctuary products and that too contains a £3 off voucher. So while it's not a megadeal (and I didn't have any sort of extra points voucher to use on it, alas) it's still a very good deal that in essence cost me £11 for both the bag and the GWP.

I'm tempted - not that I know which bag you're talking about, LOL - as I have 3 £3 coupons to try to spend, two of which were from last year and run out soon, but how do you work out that it only cost £11. Am I having a blonde moment (or a senior moment) - wouldn't it be £20 - £3 - £3 = £14? TIA

You missed one of the threes

£20 - £3 - £3 - £3 = £14 - one already in hand used against the cost, then one in the GWP and one in the Gift set.

Gift set looks awesome actually -saw it in Cowley Retail Park, Oxford today. They also had stock of the P&P gift too - that looks fantastic!!

Which sets did the £3 vouchers come with please?

I got the £20 Sanctuary Pure Pamper Box at Christmas but none in that.

I just wanted to say what a nice thread this is!
I only really read this one, but have been looking at a few other threads on this website recently. And aren't people on other threads rude and aggressive sometimes ??!! Coming back here is like a breath of fresh air.
I'm a bit sad, I know, but just had the urge to share that with you all. lol.:T

I totally agree - this is the only thread that I post on ( and I've only been brave enough to do that for a couple of weeks!). When I look at other threads, people can get really snidey with each other. Is this thread lovely cos it's female dominated???;) Just a thought?? (and apologies to the chaps on here, including a very kind one who sent me some money off vouchers formrthe shower gel!)

I'll wait for someone more experienced than me to come along, but that's how I'd have tried it. It depends on how you put the highlighter voucher through and £5 off etc.

Plus, when you buy the Nivea and get the 400 points, it tends to reduce your total points, ifswim?

Well done lalamb that's a great shop:beer: I know what passion8 means (we often think alike lol) but to have taken both the Q10 and N0 17 off the second shop wouldn't have produced the £10 spend needed for the voucher.

I may have been tempted to have spent £3 on something else that I may actually need on the first shop and taken the Q10 out and then buying both Q10's together and adding something for a couple of pence to get another £5 voucher and then buying the No7 and No17 for third voucher, if that makes any sense.

You're not sad at all, it's a lovely thread I feel the same when I pop into the Finished Baskets thread here:

http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=309335&page=91

It's another thread which has a really friendly community feel to it. And if anyone ever gets bored, check out some of the pictures that some posters have put up. They're awesome *Reminds me, I need to post in it lol

Re this Sanctuary set that we've been posting about. Is it the one in the round brown canvas (?) container? tia

3 x gift sets for £40:j :j Or maybe they will exclude giftsets as they are already 'on offer' and cannot be used in conjunction with any other offer. phrase often used and abused lately. (Same as they did with the Large p + p) That was available for a very short time only on 342 if my memory serves me well. Good luck to anyone who got it.

I'd rather buy it now with the gwp than a 342, because as long as you've a pink voucher to start with 3 will cost you £45 but you will get 3 x 250pts = 750pts in the gwp bringing it net, in my eyes, to £37.50 and you have 3 gift boxes full of goodies:j :j :j

Hi pinkytots I think a few of us are confused lol. But wherever possible, and because of the 400 points, I've been buying that Nivea seperately, whilst still trying to reach that magical £10 figure

Imo, nothing in Boots should cost anything that ends in 0.99p. It usually means a packet of chewing gum or bag of crisps at the ready
