Park Hampers et al

[Shinyshoes1]

Does anyone use these?

I have set up a DD ready for next Christmas polishes halo and am slightly worried due to the Farepak thing a few years ago.

Does anyone use these year after year>

I think they're safe enough now in terms of your money being protected, but they don't seem to be terribly good value.

Would you not be better off setting the direct debit/standing order up for a savings account, then you have complete cintrol over where and how you use the money?

I've used them for the past three years, but only for shopping vouchers as you get what you pay IYSWIM.

I think the food hampers and stuff are ridiculously overpriced, plus half the stuff in the mixed hampers would probably be wasted and I don't like the idea of the meat ones as know nothing about quality, taste etc.

I have ordered the 'love to shop ' vouchers and £100.00 gift card for M&S for the nice christmas food

We have had £1000 pounds in Love to Shop vouchers for the past 5 years. The only problem I have is that we get the vouchers in November but by then I have usually bought at least half the presents with cash.

I use them, but again only for vouchers. The hampers seem poor value and I know we wouldn't eat all the stuff in them.

I get £500 love to shop vouchers, £200 Amazon and £100 M&S - it does us every year. I cant wait to get mine this week :)
