Boden free scarf swap?

50 replies

treedelivery · 15/04/2011 18:44

Hi. DId anyone else get a free patterned scarf with their Boden order? I did and I really like it and I only have one other scarf so am pleased...but...I got a sort of coral/muted red colour and my other is nearly the same colour.

Did anyone get a scarf in different colour and fancy a swap?

I got the pencil skirt and low wedges nd am loving both btw

Ohhh, I really want a scarf - but am bound to get bunting arent' I...

Come on parcel, arrive already!!!

wendihouse22 · 21/04/2011 11:09

BehindLockNumberNine.... don't get too excited love, Johnnie's got a job lot of Bunting to get shut of, before the 29th April!!

I'm sitting on my Welcome mat at home now, ignoring the kids chucking stuff around the bedroom, my eyes are fixed on the letter box.....I salivate.....I can hardly wait for.....POSTIE!!!!!

BehindLockNumberNine · 21/04/2011 11:16

So how did you manage to swap your bunting for a scarf Wendy?? I obviously need some tips...

Although, on my despatch email it listed the items I had ordered, plus a Happy Promotion something or other, PLUS a 'gift for you'.

Bunting and scarf? Or two lots of bunting.

And why is JB giving buntin away? Anyone know?

wendihouse22 · 21/04/2011 12:06

Think he has lots of bits of material left over. Where my heroine (Maria Von Trappe) would have made curtains or a little outfit from it, Johnnie decided, it being the Royal Wedding and street parties in the offing, Boden Bunting was the way to go.

I sent them an email asking was THIS (bunting) my gift? I must have conveyed sufficient incredulousness in my mail, because they wrote back saying "don't be silly.....a scarf is on it's way".

partyhats · 21/04/2011 12:06

I got a free mustardy and beige spotty scarf a while ago and I only buy the odd bit for the dds. It is lovely but I am up for a swap if anyone has a less bold coloured one as I want to wear mine as a hijab.

DoingTheBestICan · 21/04/2011 12:12

Hmm,i have placed 2 orders this past week & i havent had a free gift...

Johnie if you are reading this our love affair may be over...

DoingTheBestICan · 21/04/2011 12:16

OK i take it back,just checked my invoice on my 2nd order & i am receiving a World Of Happy promotion,does anyone know what this is?

Johnnie i still love you

polyhymnia · 21/04/2011 12:34

My bunting just has a small, not very obtrusive 'Mini Boden' label on one flag. Would think the patterns would appeal to a little girl.

Buddhastic · 21/04/2011 14:29

Hey no fair. I have spent a fortune (after slating the collection) and even though i have returned a fair bit I still would have appreciated a free scarf. I also took time out of my one day of shopping in London to get on a tube and visit the bloody shop. I am well miffed Johnnie and will be telling you exactly what to do with your bunting if it comes with my metropolitan shopper!!

Buddhastic · 21/04/2011 14:43

Thats it Johnnie, bag delivered and I never even got bunting!

DoingTheBestICan · 21/04/2011 15:39

Well my parcel arrived & my free gift was a leaflet telling me i could buy some kids books for 1/2 price.

I am not amused with you Johnnie B.

BehindLockNumberNine · 21/04/2011 20:25

Was there a code on your delivery receipt thingy for the free gift - the booklet about children's books? If so could you let me have it. I need to mentally prepare myself for the crushing disappointment of receiving a children's book leaflet instead of a scarf....

I think the world of Happy promotion refers to the bunting. Apparently I have that coming my way. Will be lovely in dd's room, am happy with that.

But would love a scarf....... greedy emoticon.....

DoingTheBestICan · 22/04/2011 06:59

The book code is P11-WOHBOD via www.egmont.co.uk

I am gutted i didnt get a scarf,especially after the amount i have spent so far this yr.

BehindLockNumberNine · 22/04/2011 16:22

Ah, my code is different, so no book leaflet for me then hopefully....

Will wait and see.... (am rubbish at waiting...)

CointreauVersial · 22/04/2011 23:42

Must go and check my delivery note.....shook the parcel and nothing fell out except the clothes I ordered - not so much as a shred of bunting (scarf would be nicer....).

ChaosTrulyReigns · 22/04/2011 23:46

Ooh I've been waiting to place an order - this may tempt me.

Does anyone know of any offers/ % off codes at the moment?

Cheers.

BehindLockNumberNine · 22/04/2011 23:51

15% off, free delivery, free returns, code is AMZN

ChaosTrulyReigns · 23/04/2011 00:17

Thanks I have just ordered DD1 a top she wanted with that code - I've read my confirmation email though and no indication that there's a lovey gift winging its way to me?

polyhymnia · 30/04/2011 16:57

This is a very very long shot but don't suppose anyone got a scarf that wasn't coral - or mustard - and would love a coral one, did they? Blue would be perfect!

Feel v. ungrateful but my free scarf, which has just arrived, is coral - it's lovely, except coral doesn't suit my complexiion so I don't like it (even though it's a very 'in' colour this season). Nor does mustard ...

Unless anyone eager to swap for blue, or similar, appears by a miracle, will be giving this one to a more olive-skinned friend.

SauvignonBlanche · 30/04/2011 17:01

Where's my scarf!

mejon · 30/04/2011 20:55

I got a free gift - it was a 'World of Happy' book and the leaflet others have mentioned. DD1 loves it but I wanted a scarf (or even the bunting)!!

BehindLockNumberNine · 30/04/2011 20:57

Me too - I had a world of Happy Book, which even dd age 8 thought a bit baby-ish.
I would have loved a scarf, or even bunting

kittya · 30/04/2011 21:00

Wheres my bloody freebie? All that money I spent this season on a collection I had merrily slated on here . Its a bloody cheek.

CommonerTrulyReigns · 30/04/2011 21:15

Well I only had the flocking voucher.

LaDolceRyvita · 04/05/2011 16:27

I'm gonna wear my mustard, spotty cotton scarf with pride. It won't go with anything I have but.....it was sent to me, from Johnny.
