Anything that doesn't fit anywhere else, but that's still CH related.

... and both the product of slave labour in africa...
(sorry, i'll stop with the cheap digs now, it's not like anyone gives a toss)

could someone at CH give us the current valentines price list? it would be interesting to compare how things are now with before.
i remember when snuggles came in and they were (i think) 30p, very good value compared to the plants.
are there any new things that have come in in the last few years?

Ahem...

Funnily enough, I can't remember...!

It was something along the lines of:
£2.00 for a rose
£1.30 for a carnation
either 25 or 35p for a snuggle this year - I think it was 25...
10p for a 'loveline'
40 - 50p for a Chocolate crush

Sorry to be so unsure, I really should know - Oh well...

Tis a little sweet of some sort, wrapped nicely - in a kind of plasticy red stuff - and tied with a bow. A kind of inbetween thing.

I think, quite frankly, they were quite small and ridiculous. And no, I didn't get any (sadly/thankfully).

Perhaps we ought to extend it to darthmaul as well, if Sith Lords like such things.
