C&C Members Gifts

[catlady]

Have just ordered the members gift. Not done any Crystal Art before so worth £2.99 to give it a go. Thought it would give me something to do over Christmas.and New Year.
Hope to use the finished designs as toppers on cards

Just ordered mine, nice little stocking filler.

I bought several kits when they had them in The Works, mostly to be used on cards, then forgot I had the blessed things. Oh well, 2020 is another year!!! I bought a few larger kits on Wish.com, also ordered one from Amazon, but it didn't turn up, so received a refund. Amazing the amount of stuff that hasn't arrived from China in recent months. Had two items that went astray via Wish.com as well, refund received promptly from them too.

Christine bought me a poppies kit for my birthday, but like the Toft crochet doggy from Jill, I haven't got around to doing it yet. Maybe over Christmas when I am at a loss for something different to do.

We've had a few Stamps By Me offerings lately.

My membership expires soon won’t bother to renew unless there is an absolute bargain on offer
The £1O credit for joining and on your Birthday is only against a £50 spend now and only lasts for a short time

Grabbed mine too earlier this evening. Love their stamps. Doubt I would pay the full price, but at £2.99 postage, well it has to be the bargain of the year so far. ;)

If they carry on in the same way with their members gifts, I can see me rejoining in April. Won't be using either the £10 voucher for rejoining or the £10 birthday voucher. Can't afford to spend £50 in one go, but they never have anything I really want.

I watched C&C for the first time in over a couple of years over the weekend, and there were several things I fancied (not needed) buying so, went to look at the T&C's for joining the club again to see if they'd altered the conditions, but no, still the same. The £10 credit for joining is on a £50 spend exc p&p and the £10 on your birthday is on £30 so haven't bothered. With some of the prices of the flipping kits its easily achieved but for most of people who've been making things for years we don't want or cant afford to spend that kind of money. Maybe I will re-join at a later date, and just forgo the tenners. Hochy appear to be struggling (IMO)with content and suppliers since the massive exit last year.

I didn't realise that they had introduced the £50 minimum spend to get the £10 back for renewing and the birthday. Although I could afford the £50,I have enough stuff that I don't really want to spend that kind of money in one go. I am more selective these days and no longer get lured into spending for kits just because they are good value. The problem I have is that the things that I might quite like are never in stock at the same time. TV channels rotate their stock around the shows, so wont restock until they have another show coming up, and that is assuming that the products expect to be aired. And then you are restricted by the time limit in order to claim 'your' £10.

Yep, it's time specific too - I'd forgotten that bit !! I'm sure they must be losing custom with those conditions. Here you go ladies:

Sorry about typo (£30) in prev post - no glasses on lol !

[RozMinis]

I've no more room for craft stuff, especially the huge HD kits. Even if I did have the room I wouldn't want any anyway. As for the cost, well I guess I could always raid my savings, but I am getting a bit like Scrooge with those, hence why I save my £1 and £2 coins for Harrogate. I don't feel as though I am robbing the savings accounts that way.

I have a specific 'holiday fund' but sheesh, when it comes to drawing the money out to pay for said holiday, you would think it was the crime of the century. I don't even draw the full £455, out either, just £400, and I make sure I pay the train fares out of the current account. Heaven only knows what I am going to do when it comes to having to pay the telly licence. I have been putting an extra £15 a month into the other account, but when push comes to shove I know I will be very reluctant to draw it out.
