apparently over 40,000 now
Who stated 32,000 have sold?
I heard one of the presenters saying it on air last night. I think it was Debbie Flint.
I believe they usually have around 100,000 units of the Elemis TSV to sell, so there shouldn't be so much of a panic if it's the same this year. Don't know if they are still at the giddy heights of those numbers now they seem to be keeping such a close eye on their cashflow situation.
I can't say I blame them with Mothercare having joined the roster of high street casualties. The pre-Christmas and post-Christmas periods seem to be the worst time for companies to go to the wall. If you can't pay your bills pre-Christmas, you won't get the credit lines to order in your Christmas stock... and if you haven't shifted your Christmas stock, you can't pay your bills post-Christmas. So they get you on the way in or out of the festive season if you are struggling with Cashflow.
Decleor have a fantastic Christmas Hamper that costs 4p more than the Elemis TSV but could be a very strong alternative. Item is 240855
It has three 50ml travel sizes, a supersized 100ml Hydra Floral Light, then three full sized items - 15ml eye cream, 100ml cleanser and a 15ml aromesence oil in either Neroli or Rose.

Now to go and see how much Hubby has still to use.
I’m using all my restraint not to buy this, but the value is cheaper than many high street own brands
Shame, the stuff just isn't the same anymore. The hydrafloral has been totally F**ked up. I never thought they'd dare with that one. Curse L'oreal . Bustards.
How does Mr llloyd find this stuff, llloyd, notably the shave gel - is it V minty? Mr B has sensitive chops you see. Also, what about the face wash & cream? Is it rich enough? Mr B uses my (premium) stuff, although I have sneakily re filled my Algenist with Waitrose pure night cream for him to continue helping himself to! :mysmilie_17:
so much hype around the Elemis tsv. the bath products don't feel nice and its full of trial sizes and gift with purchase but hey!
I’ve still not give in and bought it, I rather proud of myself! It just ain’t exciting me...apparently over 65,000 have gone
I am ashamed to say I succumbed. Ordered it Wednesday and it arrived today. It will be split,face for me and the rest added to pressies already got for sister and nieces.

Pipa Just said 72,000 gone!!
I don't think Alex Kramer got that memo. She just said 40,000 gone during her hour with Ruth Langsford.
