I'll pick up some for you if you'd like them, but they aren't sold by the pack unfortunately. I did buy one for an American friend this weekend and I've already forgotten how much it was. £2-something, perhaps? Let me know! :)

Could I be added to the list, please, for a couple?  :)

Those are bags are cute!

TIA!

Two for mapleleafgirl72 and how many for you, Ashley? I hope they have enough left! I won't be able to pop in until later in the week.

PM me and we can swap information and you can let me know the cost of the bags, plus postage, so I can send you a cheque!  :)

Cheers!  :)

Can I have two as well, please? Ditto to what MLG says.

PM me your email address and I will likely respond faster (esp. with payment)!  :-*

Many thanks!  :)

MLG  :D

I went to the shop on Friday and, alas, they were all sold out. :(  The woman there said she'll be reordering, so if they're still available she may have more in a couple of weeks. Sorry!

Yeah, thanks Helen.  If you can't get a hold of any then not a biggie. :)

I'm still giggling a bit about the contrast between the OP's family members and the average Glaswegian. Thoughts for future visits to this unappreciatve lot that might go down ok, given you're in Glasgow books on Charles Rennie Mackintosh or Alexander Greek Thomson might might go down well. Although from what you say Mackintosh might be a little too bohemian for their tastes.

Update: They got more in stock (especially for me, apparently!) so I bought 4 - 2 for Ashley and 2 for mapleleafgirl! £2.50 each. If you PM me your addresses, I'll post them - but it might not be straight away because I'm off to THE OLYMPICS on Tuesday. :)

Pretty much anything from Marks & Spencer foodhall is a winner--tins of biscuits, teacakes, tarts, jam rolls.

For my friends' kids, I bring back little HappyLand figures from ELC. They love them!

I'm kinda bummed that after the Olympics, there won't be any fun tea towel purchasing events. Royal Wedding, Jubilee and Olympic tea towels were my primary gifts over the past 2 years.
