Celia Birtwell £1 lunch bag for Boots and MacMillan Cancer Support

I often grab a Boots Meal Deal for lunch, and think this is a lovely (and stylish) way to carry it, in support of a very good cause. Can't say I care for the Shapers sandwiches (too weedy for me) but hopefully I'll be able to sneak my usual fat sandwich in and still buy the bag. I do always get Shapers Ginger Beer and Snack a Jacks Chilli snacky things to complete my meal deal, so I have a half-healthy lunch. The Celia Birtwell bag is available at 300 Boots stores until 22 March, costing £1.

There are also some very pretty Star bag charms, also £1 each, available from all Boots stores. All proceeds from the bag and the charm go to MacMillan Cancer Support.
From the press release:

Through their long-term partnership, Macmillan Cancer Support and Boots UK want to improve the lives of everyone affected by cancer. Together they are delivering more ways to access information about living with cancer to the high street, in local communities and online. For example, Macmillan Cancer Support is training 15,000 Boots pharmacists, dispensers and healthcare assistants on the issues surrounding cancer, and the advice support and services that are available to them through Macmillan Cancer Support. Customers are also able to pick up a leaflet with general information about cancer.

  7. Hi Cate - the bags are long gone from my Boots now too. I'm not sure if they had any charms still, but I'll have a look.
