    received mine today, bargain and DIDNT say with compliments on the box :)

    If your unsure of giving as a gift if it does say with comps on the box, why not make a little hamper box out of it,

    use the fountain as a centre piece and display skewers melting chocolate, marshmallows etc around it, then you dont have to give it in the box :)

    I was lucky, none of mine said with compliments -

    Just a thought for anyone with "compliments" - if its on brown box, use the inside box, or if on inside gift box, take the package out and put it in brown box.

    It came to mind as Id brought a pint sized wine glass from Argos, all sealed, but in brown box, no posh box .

    My children don't want one! We went to a function not so long ago and another child sneezed right over the fountain, now mine won't go anywhere near one!

    I bought one and it was delivered last Friday. It came in a box with the words compliments written all over it, and no instructions. Plugged it in and tried to get it to melt some chocolate. After 2 hours the chocolate was just starting to melt. After 4 hours it was still not into liquid so we cleaned it up and put it in the garage to sell at a car boot.
    Personally i would not buy one even at £3.99 its not worth it.

    You need to melt the chocolate first as with all fountains it does not melt it for you!
    Thorntons fountain choc melts v quickly in seconds in fact in the microwave then empty into it and away you go
