I always looked forward to the Molton Brown TSV's. They also did nice make up sets, which I loved. Don't think they do the make up in the stores now, but as I don't go in them I am not sure.
I personally prefer L'Occitane to Molton Brown. The fragrance of the Molton Brown shower gels got boring and I prefer L'Occitane Rose Quattre Reinnes and Verbena, plus the limited edition ones they do to the Blissful Templetrees etc that Molton Brown do. I also think the L'Occitane liquid soap knocks spots off the Molton Brown hand washes. The hand lotion MB do is not a patch on the L'Occitane handcreams. It was only make up and skincare where MB may have had the edge, but the latter didn't really suit my skin.
All L'Occitane need to do to up their game is to widen their range and deals on Q to cover the other treats they have in their stores. Look what happens when they do mens sets, and Bonne Mere soap sets with dish. They fly out and then the new stock sells out. The honey set sold out last night too. The TSV's are sometimes boring and same -old- but to my memory the MB ones were too, only in regular sizes and cheaper.
