Toasties springing into Spring 🌼

[IlovePond]

Hi,

As promised, here is the new thread. All are welcome to chat about all things Toast, znd any related topics!

@IlovePond maybe it's because we didn't spend enough? Might be a new thing?

I spent £51
and my order was updated with kindred after, in the confirmation email.

Well I have no reworn dispatch note yet. I bought a linen dress and the sleeveless tie neck silk blouse although looking at my arms in a m and s changing room today it’s maybe time to give up 😁 it’s not going to fit me anyway.

I had taken the head staggers and bought the patchwork stripe skirt. I had packed it up to go back but regretted that and unpacked it again and I have so many tops to go with it. I just find it tricky to get on properly. So it’s still here. It’s bound to go into sale but probably not until January which is no use to anyone. I’ll not buy the matching top until it is in sale.
Like @ScallopShellWalk I need to sit on my hands forever now.

I only saw it when I went into “view my order” saw a drop down saying my order had been updated and in the drop down it said kindred gift added. Maybe it’s hidden in your order confirmation.

@faustina I'm glad you got the rose ticking fitted sheet. I dithered as it’s not the right size but I did so want it 🤣 I’m pleased someone on here got it. I hope there’s more.

That’s very odd - I also ordered a dress around the same amount as @ScallopShellWalk and just checked my account too - no gift listed for me either.

@ScallopShellWalk - it's not the right size for me either, but my mattress is a very deep one so I thought it worth a try! I do like that shade of pink. It's not quite my favourite bedlinen (the red placement) but it's a very good second best!

I just re-checked and there's still no gift, but maybe they will fix it later

I noticed also in my account in the order it shows kindred gift with the order. That would be an easier place to look than faffing with hidden dropdowns in an email.

@faustina my mattress is too big, it’s a super king. I don’t know what made me dither on that one at all 😆. I do have a double bed but I don’t need any bedding for it as it’s never used except guests. I’ve single beds so I’d love single sheets. Hopefully there will be many more. I think the pink would be really lovely. Though pink isn’t really a colour I’d normally think of either but it’s behind the duvet so just a wee secret pink.

I’m wondering why I’m the only one with a kindred gift.

Thanks for the heads up on reworn. I bought a robe and a short sleeve shirt that I remember from the good old John Lewis days.

Definitely no gift for me but thanks for checking @faustina I really hope they haven’t put a minimum spend on it without telling anyone.

I almost ordered a couple of other things but I live in hope they might make it into the sale.

No gift for me either. I ordered the new linen olive shorts. I also didn’t get the last one which was the dreaded room spray. I have had my Kindred renewed.

I don’t have it either.

I spent almost £400 on my first order as a kindred member and no gift! However, my stripey culottes are going back. They’re lovely, but they’re not £225 lovely!

It’s quite nostalgic looking through those Reworn items. Some things I have, some thing I once had and some things that I just sold on our Facebook page (at a lower price than Toast are charging)! You will do well if you are a size 6 or 8: lots of choice for you.

I always buy something from homeware at Kindred gift time. I wait to buy homeware until then so there’s no chance of needing to return it. (I would feel mean returning an item but keeping the Kindred gift, so always do an item that doesn’t have ‘to ‘fit’, so no risk of having to return it.)

However, assuming I have been left off the Kindred gift, I will probably return the order I shouldn’t have made anyway. I don’t actually need any more homeware - it was more in the ‘nice to have’ category.

No kindred gift for me either.
Toast is really annoying me of late. The Kindred gifts used to be lovely on the whole. Now they are rarer than hens teeth and have been a bit rubbish. I placed an order hoping to have a nice surprise, clearly not!

It’s not good @AmethystMoonShine

We only had one gift last year, (and it was the awful, allergy-inducing spray), and I don’t remember there being any in-person events.

It’s a new low not giving the gift out to Kindred members when one actually appears.

I’m a July renewal - are you? I’m wondering if that is anything to do with it.

No gift for me either. I’m not fussed really, I have not kept any of the gifts I have ever got in the past as they just haven’t been my taste/any use to me. It does seem rather rubbish to not give them to all kindred members though.

Has anyone contacted Toast re: the lack
of a gift with their order? Some of you have spent a lot more than me so I am wondering if their IT system is playing up.

I got free postage with my order, but instead of saying delivery FREE on my order details, (like it does usually), it said POST PASS, which I don’t have.

I am wondering if they have put me on the PP list rather than the Kindred one in error, following some kind of IT update.

I justified to look at when my Kindred renews and can't find it on the Account part of the website? Do you know where it shows up?

@IlovePond i am kindred and haven’t bought a post pass but my orders often come up like that.

I think it’s just this week it’s appeared @Bimblesalong . There was nothing with my skirt either which I ordered last week.

I ordered Monday, £200 for the new stripe shirt and a shower curtain, no kindred gift. I’d be interested to know what it is as I haven’t found the last couple very exciting.

@AmethystMoonShine - it would have issued in either January or July - I’m a July renewal. It doesn’t show on your account. You just get an email and thereafter free delivery.
