Reply With QuoteThat I like. We hear to little about Lidl here anyway. But you're right, these tea boxes are certainly worth a stop off.
A heads up for anyone wanting to get hold of a Lidl tea box to use as a watch box: it's rumoured they are due to be back in stock on Monday 5th November. Not all stores have the same offers though so it may be a bit hit & miss.
That I like
Do they come with dividers?
What do people use for cushions?
I shall be heading down to my local store and purchasing one or two. A bit of felt lining and some short lengths of pipe lagging between the internal dividers, et voila!
Thanks for answering my question!Originally Posted by pstruck
I too will be taking a look at these.
Walla..
They always seem to bring them back just before xmas as well, must make good (???) pressys for someone
Lovely boxes. What wood are they? Look like Maple.

they look great!!!! and seems can fit big watches too!
I bought bag of 25 black velvet pillows from ebay for 50p each:

You can get 5 for 99p if you buy from Hong Kong, but I preferred a UK seller:

Search for 'Jewellery Pillows'
Looks great will pop into a Lidls when I get a chance!Walla..

Cheers,

These look quite nice thanks for letting us know op, been looking around for a watch box recently so this could do the job
Found them on the Lidl site: http://www.lidl.co.uk/cps/rde/xchg/l...ndex_35822.htm - £6.99

been looking for something just like this, only have one watch at the moment but good excuse to buy some more!
Looks like Beech
£6.99 a great solution for that price!Off to Lidl it is then!
T
I've got three of them - they are the best solution out there at a reasonable price.
As Tomaitch has already said...Lidl on Monday it is then!
Looks like the economy pinch is being felt even by Lidl, there are only 4 sections as opposed to the previous 5.
Perhaps there's a shortage of Beech?
Silly auction but where do you get the cushion material from?
Question? See above!
From the silly auction site :) see an earlier post with links
I prefer to use pipe lagging from B&Q. :-)
Pipe lagging works great & makes an honest combo with the humble Lidl boxes.
So have I'ly so +1 on that
Don't forget to set your alarm clocks peeps, these go on sale in the morrow :)
cracking idea...the wife has a job for tomorrow!
Just had a phone call from the Mrs. - She has managed to get 3 tea boxes (2 for me, and one for my dad for Christmas).
Now to order pillows from eBay.
Well done the wife!
I've just got back from my local store where I got 1, there were loads with little or no interest in them. In the fact the only interest was a few people asking my why I was buying a tea chest :)
Bagged 2 tea boxes this morning. Very pleased with these. The quality is not bad at all.
Same in the Reading store, lots there - picked my one up
Now to decide which seller to buy some pillows from :)
Has anyone else noticed that these have shrunk. I haven't bought one before, but previous photos show 5 sections - 10 watches, but these are 4 sections - 8 watches.
A few in the Durham store; one less now. The cushions are coming from somewhat further afield.
The Mrs picked two up for me today, I must say I'm very impressed with the quality. She's getting a couple more for the father-in-law tomorrow.
Might get some felt and cover some pipe lagging just to jazz it up
Yes, they are now smaller!
Prefer the design of the old one which has a flush (rather than overhanging oversized) lid. But for £6.99 you can't go wrong with either.
Collected mine today, and as already said quality is impressive indeed.
Now to find pillows (any recommendations) and more watches to fill the storage box ;)
OMW, same price smaller item, must be made by Mars in Slough
I noticed that and posted earlier in the thread.
Just like the rest of shrinking purchases, 75ml is the new 100ml, well at least as far as toothpaste is concerned :)
I got 3 yesterday from the Newcastle under Lyme store as soon as it opened at 8. They only had 10 available. 2 boxes for prezies (teas & coffees to start with, then cushions for watches), 1 for me.
I've not long been back from picking up 2 from my nearest store, sorry if it offends anyone on here (though I highly doubt it will) but I refuse to call Feltham local! Haven't had a chance to look at them properly yet but on first impressions they look to be great VFM. They still had about a dozen left on display after I'd helped myself so if anyone is really struggling to get there hands on one (or two, or three...) then drop me a PM and I'll do by best to help
lice hardwood too
Still got three upstairs in the cupboard from the last time they were for sale - bought a bloody watch box the day after from SC and never used them!
Got mine yesterday, and bought a 1 metre length of pipe lagging foam from B&Q for ooh £2.38
So that's a semi-presentable 8-watch box for under a tenner :)
Having now opened them (and at the risk of making myself look very stupid) I genuinely thought these came with the tea included, in fact I spent the drive home from Lidl trying to think of who I could palm it off on!
It's definitely Beech. They also have very small (rare earth?) magnets in the lid to keep it closed too. Amazing vfm.
Ah, the older ten compartment boxes don't have the magnets.
I've got a few of the older ones and they do the job great. I bought some jewellery pillows of eBay. Though I remember someone used the round swimming floats/noodles from the pound shop and cut them up. They look like this.
An old pick of mine, as sadly five of the watches are no longer with me.
Do Lidl customers really keep their teabags in wooden boxes? How posh!
Just been and picked up 2 of these. One for me and one for the Mother in Law. She wanted one to put tea bags in???
