In the reviews section, every review is five stars, except for two that are four stars – no other reviews go lower than four stars. In a glowing review, a shopper called Ewarty said: “Really good selection of beauty products that will appeal to all ages. Lovely packaging in a quality basket that can be reused very easily. Great price for quality items.”
Bubbles said: “Wow! What an incredibly good value this gorgeous set is! I really wasn’t expecting the basket to be so good, let alone the fabulous contents! So pleased I ordered 2, one for me and the other as a present! I love this range anyway, very calming and relaxing. Very pleased!”
In a four star review, Cherry said: “Good value but bag handles are flimsy. This is a lovely set of products and was very reasonable at the offer price. However, the bag handles are not very good quality and wouldn’t last long. They were also terribly misshapen after being pushed to the bottom of the package for presentation and delivery purposes. I would have been disappointed if I’d paid the full price.”
Inge said: “Great products I buy this set every year such great value and perfect little presents.” Gig wrote: “Very classy looking, good mixture of items and the bag is lovely. Even better that I got it with money off.” Someone else put: “Very large beach bag! The bag is much bigger than I thought (and looks in the picture) and is very good quality.”
Ems said: “I bought one of these for a Christmas present while on offer at half price and I was so impressed that I ended up buying 3 more!! Absolutely amazing value for what is included and would definitely recommend.” Another said: “This is a great gift. I bought one at full price as a present. When they were 50% off I bought more for Xmas gifts. Very happy with them.”
The £30 Apothecary Heroes Gift Set can be delivered for free if you spend £60 in total. So, you would need to buy an extra £30 worth of items to skip the delivery charges, which costs £3.99.
