I like some of the scents in both options but can't abide Ylang Ylang. It is a good selecton and will probably be a good price too. However, too many shower gels for me and only the one big hand wash. I kind of expected it would be that way around but I have quite a stash of shower gels. I love a liquid soap as it doesn't get stuck in my ring but Paul hates it and sticks to his beloved L'Occitane milk soap bar, or the Scottish Fine Soaps shea and buttermilk in the big 220g bars.

I have just the other day been having a stash audit and found a box, opened but not unpacked and it was the MB Christmas TSV from I think 2020. Red Box with 3 big 300ml bottles and a smaller box with 5 or 6 very diddy sized ones in there. So, I have decided to wait for another TSV offering later in the year. Depending on what L'Occitane are doing, I may even wait until the Christmas MB one, which I always sucker to!

Stash audit - love it!! 🤣

Don’t laugh! Some on here have a ‘spreadsheet’ to manage their stash, so they know what they’ve got and where it is, plus when they bought it so they can use up the old stuff first. They seem completely normal on the surface, too! I have no idea who these nutters are but you can probably work it out from the way they express their fascination with every deal that comes along, declare themselves not interested because they have far too much already and then, curiously, mention that their delivery has just arrived. If you challenge them, they just become defensive and mumble something about a “present drawer” but you wonder how big this “present drawer” must actually be.
 
How very dare you, young Andi! There’s nothing wrong with a spreadsheet or two! One for YC in date order so they don’t fade before use and one for skincare! The latter because after buying endless TSVs I had a ton of some products but none of whatever seemed to be running out. I don’t have an MB one though……. YET!

(No present drawer here!)

Who said I was talking about you?! You might have said more than you needed there! :LOL:

Well Saturday nights don’t get much better than this…. I’ve just audited the MB stash and will be creating a spreadsheet next week. Yay! Now back to the 🍷🍷🍷.

This did actually reveal I only have 1 Templetree though so….
:ROFLMAO: I knew it!
 
Bit expensive plus not keen on all the scents in both collections. Hand wash in the Black pepper rather than a body wash. Its not a bad collection but imo overpriced. Is it me.
 
Oh I love the idea of a spreadsheet for my stash. I could include a column for date ordered, unopened shelf-life date etc. I could then do a sort to see those I needed to use next! Oh, and of course, a column to indicate which of my homes the product(s) are in ;):giggle:

its a great deal for what you get
I respectfully disagree. The last few years there have been sales and deals in which 300ml bottles are around £11 each. A good deal on this for me would have been £44 inc postage, £48 at most. This is £54 (so each 300ml is about £13.50). On the other hand, we had a rubbish sale in Jan so maybe the glory days are over. I am not complaining, as I had already set my limit so it’s a relief and I won’t be buying this from Q.
 
I’m in a quandary! I had set my limit around the same as Andi. I would keep the three large ones for me and in fact, now that I’m using a Coastal Cypress hand wash and know I haven’t got one in the stash (thanks to my spreadsheet 😂😂) I would keep that too. The remaining three would go into a present for my neighbours. Also they are not the 30ml size which I dislike for myself and as a gift. I suppose I shall go for it but, like last Xmas, don’t think it is a particularly good deal by usual MB/Q standards.

No, me either Andi. In fact, I'm still not tempted in the slightest.

Q did a Big Deal a few months ago with three bottles of Rosa Absolute and I finished the second bottle last night so I'll just keep a look out for the next sale I think as I've still got quite a stash to get through.
