Bargain gift bags in Boots 12p each!

Bought a couple of these in Boots, Coliseum Retail Park, Ellesmere Port this morning.

They are advertised at 24p each but when I got to the till the girl said they were on a BOGOF.

They are called "Pink/Blue Flowers Gift Bag" and have silky rope handles and nice gift tag and tissue paper with a sticker to seal.

I went back and bought another 16. Worth having them in for forthcoming birthdays. BTW, the item code is 4806336 and they were available in two different colours: purple & pink and pink & turquoise.

    they don't seem to be on that offer in my Boots. Is it a special offer just at your store please?

    Had loads in my local store, priced at 24p and went through at BOGOF. I think they're Natural Collection products.

    Used them to put reduced £2 bogof N.C. strawberry giftsets in for Teachers and classroom assistant's presents, making each one £1.12 only, but looking much more expensive!

    Hi, they didn't have them at my local Boots either but I have seen them in two larger stores now. They were in the same section as the cards and gift wrap.

    You can get gift bags free in Debenhams if you are a gold card holder. The T&C of the gold card say that gift wrap is available for full price merchandise. However being a true MSE I only buy in Debs when reduced. I always ask for gift wrap and have never been refused.

    On Sunday I asked for a gift bag for a watch I had bought (reduced to £4.50 from £15). She reached behind and said "is this too small - probably" and gave me a handful of pink small bags and a couple of large ones. My cheeky daughter said "oh I liked the red ones" so she gave me a few of these too. Ended up with 10 gift bags which had price tags on of £1/£1.50 :)

    Picked up loads of those Orchid Gift Bags - not only delighted with the points earned but they are so useful. Often need to give a little something - so I have a cupboard full of bits and bobs specifically for that purpose. Most of which are Boots bargains - so I can just pop a couple of bits in one of the bags - it not only looks special but suggests I have given it some thought too. Quick and easy - no messing about with sellotape and wrapping paper. I'll look out for these in Boots tomorrow to replenish supplies.
  • picked up some of these today at 12p each, well 24p each on the shelf but as it's on the Natural Collection BOGOF it becomes a real bargain. They are really nice bags too. Loads left in the Natural Collection section :D
  • I got some too. They are so lovely. Great for pressies at any time of year.
