HARRY LONDON - Page 2

I just got the preorder # M59191 for these. Less than 2.50 lbs all together at 39.95 ish. WoW!

That is so high considering I am use to like 5 or 6 pounds for 45$ish? Am I the only one disappointed?

I've been waiting for this TSV, even though taste-wise I like Waggoner's from Evine best, followed by Giannios from HSN second. I was hoping for really different tins this year for gifts, and the nutcrackers were not what I had in mind.

I ended up ordering Giannios set of small round tins and a box of their dark chocolate marshmallows, with a $10 off unique code and free shipping yesterday.

I wasn't crazy about any of the brands' assortments this year or the high prices.

The candy choices in this one make it kind of not worth the price, in my opinion. The pretzel candies really aren't all that expensive or fancy. For the price per pound here, they should have done all higher end candy, not filled it up with the cheapo pretzel kind.

I do like the different small (short) soldiers though. Different.

@Mominohio - I was pretty surprised at the candy selection, too; I wonder if they were somehow limited in the number or type of options they could bring in based on all the company restructuring over the past two years. I am glad the individual tins are being offered rather than the larger ones, though, since I know that's what people were most eager to buy.

I was looking by forward to placing my order for a Harry

London tin, but this offering left me disappointed. Very pricy for 2.5 lbs. of chocolates and the variety of the chocolates is lackluster. If it had been a big tin of chocolates with a good variety, I would have ordered but I’m passing on this one.

      And my candy likes are opposite...Giannos first, then Waggoners. I like the quality of the Giannos chocolate best, but I do like Waggoners creme filled, especially the key lime. But my very favorite is the Giannos marshmallow!!
      I usually buy the Giannos assortment in the big 5 lbs tin and then split the candy up into ten-fifteen packets!

Many more great candies, other than what is offered on shopping channels.

When you lose some one you L~O~V~E, that Memory of them, becomes a TREASURE.

Was really looking forward to some Harry London this year. Unfortunately, our family loves the peanut butter buckeyes and there are none to be found in this new configuration. Also price for what is being offered is another disappointmet. Will stick with the Giannios this year. Double disappointment!!

I have a set of nutcracker tins that I think were from Harry London several years ago(?) So they're not of interest to me, unfortunately. Also, they seem really chintzy on the amount of candy in this TSV.

@corita, My mom loves the dark chocolate marshmallows, too, and since she never mentioned liking one brand over the other, I was happy to get the Giannios for her this year. For some reason, Waggoner's has not offered them separately so far this year.

As for the assortments, I try a couple of each flavor and then gift the rest. The first year I ever ordered chocolates I bought the Harry London tall nutcracker tins, and nobody ever said a word about the taste, good or bad, and I found it very ordinary, with no one flavor being memorable.

The next year I bought a big Giannios tin and divided it. I remember liking it a lot better than HL and people said how they liked it.

Then the next year I tried a giant box of Waggoner's, and I liked it even better, and it seemed to be well liked by the recipients. Now last year I only got Waggoner's sea salt caramels and marshmallows, and when tasting them myself, I wasn't as wowed by the chocolate or even the marshmallow inside as I had been the year before, but the recipients seemed happy.

So this year I was willing to buy from any of the 3 companies, depending on which best suited my gifting needs. I would've been happy to give any one of them another chance to wow me.

I can't wait to taste the Giannios since it has been a while.
