F**k your tiny self-assembly Christmas tree...

Just opened a letter from Johnny Boden in anticipation of a nice money-off voucher/vip sale invite or at least something exciting to entice me to spend on the site, and what do I get? A tiny cardboard Christmas tree! Am thinking of artfully arranging it beneath a glass bell-jar Grin

Wonder how long it'll be before they start appearing on Ebay?!

was expecting a voucher , even went back into the empty envelope to look nada !
checked the tree for small print nothing!
most disappointing " small " item ever.

Mine is waiting patiently in the recycling. Arrived soggy and limp probably royal mails fault but still, very disappointed. I too went back to look in the envelope to see if my voucher was hiding.

Must try harder next time Boden

vjg13 · 07/12/2012 15:17

Me too, kept turning it over to look for the voucher part!

polyhymnia · 07/12/2012 17:22

And me - eagerly looked for voucher - none. Now in recycling.

polyhymnia · 07/12/2012 17:23

It, not me!

flowerytaleofNewYork · 07/12/2012 18:12

I've artfully arranged mine in the recycling bin also.

1/10 Johnny.

BranchingOut · 07/12/2012 18:16

I must admit I looked for the voucher. But I do quite like the little tree!

casabevron · 07/12/2012 18:20

Tree now in pride of place on the mantelpiece. DD thinks it's the best thing ever - may not even need to bother with the real thing this year Hmm

I got one of these - also expecting a voucher!

Johnny Boden are you listening? We want vouchers not things that need to be dusted round!

It is now in the recycling.

ruby22 · 07/12/2012 18:23

Also looked back into envelope for the voucher I thought they'd sent me!
Poor. And fairly pointless. They could have saved their money and put some extra discounted items into the sale instead.
The kids love it though and have set it up on the kitchen table.

Northernlurker · 08/12/2012 23:33

I looked for the voucher too. I was in fact quite insulted!

Mine is on top of the kitchen radio. Looks quite arty but is still annoying. Sack your PR Johnny. We do not care for your gifts. We just want as many clothes as possible as cheaply as possible.

Eliza22 · 09/12/2012 11:59

I just wish Johnny would STOP wasting paper. I got a pretty envelope with 3 Boden inspired flimsy post cards within. Like.... What FOR?

Amblin · 09/12/2012 12:45

agree
what utter bollocks
binned it asap

Didnt you know Boden like wasting paper? I had to firmly ask them to totally remove me from their mailing lists when they would not agree to only send me one catalogue per season rather than the weekly copy with only the front cover changed Confused

AgathaHoHoHo · 19/12/2012 17:39

I've not got one of those trees - WHY?????????

I don't really want one, but somehow feel I've missed out on something now Xmas Envy

Meggles76 · 19/12/2012 22:12

Lol that we were all expecting a voucher. However DD 8 likes the tree so it has, as yet, been spared the recycling bin!

UterusUterusGhaLaLaLaLaLi · 20/12/2012 12:47

Aww I want a tree now.
I put everything straight into the recycling, so I might have missed it.

polyhymnia · 20/12/2012 12:50

You haven't missed much . It was really tiny!

mirpuppet · 20/12/2012 20:08

I want a tree! It would look lovely with all the Xmas cards.
i send back nearly everything I order making me not a good customer

rubytutu · 20/12/2012 20:42

meggles my dd2 loves it, even wanted to take it in for show and tell! I think we may even end up packing it away with the decorations once xmas is over.
