Was in Boots today to buy myself a quick lunch. There's a voucher in several of the sandwiches for £3 off Mens No7 skincare products. I expect it would work with the 100 points off voucher in the magazine. The offer expires on the 25th March.

So I have to start buying my lunch in Boots too now.....£3 off is good so once I'm back on my feet I may look into that one, thanks.

I'd not wrap individually as it means you have to mess the hamper up to see what it contains.
I wouldn't even wrap the hamper again only leave in the cellophane. I mean flowers don't come double wrapped, that's the joy, the presentation ( which re wrapping would spoil in my opinion )

Can I just ask, you know when you people do hampers for Christmas/birthdays etc (Boots ones of course) and you are not going to give them on the day, or after, do you also wrap them in wrapping paper on top of the cellophane, so that the recipiants can't see in advance what you are giving them?

Thanks in advance

personally I would put finished hamper into a box and then wrap box. That's what I intend to do anyway:o

Mmmm, those are all good replies and I can see advantages for all of them.

Discount Diva - It would make it a bit more exciting, having to unwrap everything individually. As you say, you could do it all one colour wrapping, keep them guessing.

Hogshead - Yes, it would mean they had to unwrap everything and spoil it perhaps before being able to show people.

rubylou88 - Good idea, see that a few I might end up having to do that, as some of the presents I was thinking of, I have to leave them with the people when I see them in October, I don't see them again until mid Summer.

Thanks for your help everyone.

Anyone know if there is anything worth having in the Preston (fishergate) store? Might make a trip if it will be worth my while. Ideally after a S&G steamy shower set.

Thanks.

No S&G steamy shower sets left at the Fishergate store, I went early on Saturday morning & there were loads at £7.50 but then I read Netimka's post on Saturday afternoon saying they had been marked down to £3.75 & so I went back but they had all gone

Just wanted to say thank you to all on the Boots thread. Had my first Boots trip today. Hadn't a clue where everything was kept but I think I did OK. There were none of the black MF gwp's anywhere so ...

1st shop ... bought Soap & Glory heel genius used the 2 coupons so got 400 pts. Bought 17 lipgloss, clear nail varnish & mascara 342 got the lip gloss & nail polish free. Bought Pantene conditioner got the heat defence spray free. SA gave me a tillspit for £2 off haircare.

2nd shop ... Bought the soap & glory stuff as above as well as the 3 x 17 products (I have 2 x DD's) and spotted a King of Shaves serum reduced to £2 so I only paid £1 for it as I had a £1 off voucher.

Tried using the haircare tillspit with a £1.99 John Freida Hair serum but the SA said I couldn't use it as it was classed as a miniature. I didn't care as I was really pleased with what I had. Without all the help of the peeps on this brilliant thread I wouldn't have even had a go so thank you xXx

Does anyone have a spare S&G eye mask knocking around? or one out of an accesorize hatbox? I really wanted one of these for my mums birthday present.

If anyone has one spare, I am happy to reimburse postage so you are not out of pocket.

Many thanks.

Well done, you've done a good shop there!
With regards to the haircare tillspit, keep hold of it and try again another day for the JF serum, it does go through the till. I usually ask politely if the SA will try it, they are always happy to try and will go by what the till says.

I agree, I have had a couple now so they do go through
