To keep the holiday treats I originally bought for my colleagues?

[hhhhhhhhi]

If someone goes on holiday on my team, they usually bring back some treats. Not everyone does this. I've recently come back from France and bought some nice biscuits for the office but now I'm thinking it would be nicer to have them myself as you can't get them here (I do have a stash for myself as well). Should I keep them and buy my team some French biscuits that are easily found here instead?

Biscuits are biscuits. Keep them. Replace them with the other brand - they'll be none the wiser x
Bon appetit!

Seems a bit mean but it’s up to you - I wouldn’t worry about it either way

Fuck em, keep them

As someone who packs VERY lightly, usually hand luggage only, this practice really fucks me off. I simply never have room for 3 boxes of shitty expensive sweets in my bag. So i just don't buy them. No one seems to have noticed.

Edited to say I went to Japna for 3 weeks with hand luggage only (and I had some lovely instagram worthy oufits too), recently, to give you an idea how tightly I pack!

I don’t think anyone would care either way

Why?

They'll never know unless you tell them. It's not mean to keep a treat for yourself, especially if you replace it with another treat. For all you know, they may prefer the replacements to the originals.

You can keep them and buy ice creams for the office

You can get french biscuits in Asda I forget the name.
And no they aren't le custard cream.

What’s the point of that? Just give them the biscuits you bought - getting ones readily available here rather defeats the purpose.

I agree! It's a massive PITA as I also only ever take hand luggage only so I'm amazed I managed to find space.

So true! I am way overthinking this!

Could you do a half and half? So keep SOME of the holiday treats, and replace the rest with shop-bought.

I’d be really surprised if the biscuits you bought aren’t available to buy in the UK

They aren't! I've Googled!

Asda it is then.😁

Now is the time to break this tradition and consign it to back to the 90s. "Sorry everyone, cabin bag only, no room for treats " Everyone will silently thank you.

Only person cares and is making a mental note. You know who they are. Your call.

I always just take (slightly nicer than usual) normal biscuits in after a holiday - or some muffins or something. I never have enough room in my suitcase for random boxes of food, and they'd probably end up looking squashed and unappealing anyway 😬
No one has ever complained!

Please, please, please, teach me your ways!!!

No good can come from eating biscuits I’ve found

Keep them or don’t.

Keep them and enjoy!

Bring in a token packet of French biscuits from your local supermarket and explain that packing space was limited. Lu biscuits are nice (and usually on offer!)

Just scoff them OP and buy some other biscuits for the office. They won't know.

Just take some hobnobs in, I don’t care where my biscuits are from at break time, just chuffed they are there!
