Those Roses plastic boxes are less than half the size they used to be. I have an old tin one I keep craft odds and ends in....it's massive.
I know😲
I don't think they're worth the money anyway, mostly toffees, no purple ones or maybe 1 you have to fight over lol.
Things ain't what they used to be!
You can buy boxes of the purple ones, they seem to be everyone's favourite.
I bought my last Christmas pressie today...apart from OH's, still no idea on what to get him.
Wish I had. My grandkids are always left til last now, as they never know what they want. Got a few things for hub, and one daughter. So getting there. Others on his side all done.

We started on the Christmas hamper for grandson.
I have noticed there are not many food bargains around now.
In the lead up to Christmas M&S always used to have a 3 for 2 deal on chocolates, candles, gifts etc....not now, everything is full price and £££ dearer than last year.
As for the clothes, apart from their underwear, I wouldn't be seen dead in 99% of the stuff they are selling now, not sure who they are trying to appeal to.

I tried a pair of trousers on in there the other day, I am 5'8''...they would have fit a 7footer.
