Anyone know who still has tins of biscuits, looked online and most places now out of stock :(

Before Brexit Amazon could have been a runner....Guess I cod just get the boxes of biscuits in Aldi, Lidl or M&S as pretty sure they are all year round?

I think we can all agree the net stocking selection box was peak selection box!

Just had another mince pie with my cuppa... I'll miss these when they're gone, the chocolate stuff I'm not that fussed over anyway but I'll really miss stollen and mince pies... no wonder my cholesterol is up a little😀

One of thd kids got an m&ms one this year, and despite it being small was a nice change.

They both got aero ones too which were great!

Galaxy selection boxes are top tier as well. All full size bars.

Anyone know if shops are still selling selection boxes? I had one for our neighbours who we still have to see and my husband milled it last night. I told them 'we have a selection box for your son' before Christmas..feck

Loads of tubs tough in my local Lidl and Aldi.

Found an unopened tub of Roses in my utility room. Excellent.
