We still have 2 months to go so there's still time for dilemmas, decisions and discounts.

We have a few coming out this week including John Lewis, OK and No7. I'm still WAC (without advent calendar) but that may soon change!

Thanks for starting thread #4 @virgocatlover

I’m still waiting for my SpaceNK to be dispatched. I might have mentioned it a couple of times on the last thread Blush

Birdahoy · 30/09/2024 15:27

My wife and I have treated ourselves to the Liberty advent calendar this year instead of messing about with gifts for each other.

We have also admitted that we have no interest in waiting til the 1st December to open door no.1 😳

Clearly we are a terrible match made in heaven 😂

I’ve got spacenk and have decided at the ripe old age of 60 that I will be having a luxe ac every year from now on!

BakeOffRewatch · 30/09/2024 15:43

I’m still lurking. Got my Liberty, which is my first beauty AC, and won’t get another this year. I rate Cult Beauty, F&M and Vogue though. Not interested in Space NK at all myself, too much makeup and hair, so have been interested to see how popular it is. Looking forward to joining the opening threads.

thetimeisnow · 30/09/2024 16:31

I messaged Space NK on Instagram again. I received an apology and an explanation about a distribution processing error. I was assured that I will still receive it. £5 has been credited to my N.dulge account.

@virgocatlover yeah 6am... ugh! I'm on a late shift so don't have to be up until 9.45

Cyclingmummy1 · 30/09/2024 17:39

Tomorrow for No7?

I doubt it will sell out at 6am? Is that what's expected?

Yes if you signed up to the waitlist

3 times I think 😆

hollyblueivy · 30/09/2024 17:49

I really want an advent calendar but budget isn't going to stretch too far. I think options may be either marks and Spencer or Holland and Barrett- any others that may fit a similar category?

outforawalkbiatch · 30/09/2024 17:53

@virgocatlover I honestly don't know! If I wait until 8.45 and it's sold out I would be a bit peeved so I guess I'll set my alarm
Don't know how many there are and how popular it will be

52crumblesofautumn · 30/09/2024 17:59

Exciting! I've got LF and still mulling it over!

Boots MacMillan, ASOS with a discount code (it came down to around £60 a few weeks ago), no7?

I had the Holland & Barrett one last year and bloody loved it!
Lots of really nice quality products and quite a few were full sized too.
I'm definitely getting it again this year - it's a bargain!

Doubleraspberry · 30/09/2024 18:10

That link to the 2020 SpaceNK calendar tells me that I’ve got an unused Jo Loves Christmas layered candle somewhere! I’ve been wanting to try one of those…

CordeliaNaismithVorkosigan · 30/09/2024 18:17

Placemarking just to see what everyone else is doing! I've got H&B for me, Body Shop and Haribo for DD and Paxton & Whitfield for the household - obviously that won't start arriving till late November.

outforawalkbiatch · 30/09/2024 18:20

If anyone likes Jo malone, the 12 days of Christmas is on Reliked (influencer selling site, I've used it a lot)
Code PAYAY then add code EXTRA5 and it's £106

Doubleraspberry · 30/09/2024 18:40

I’ve got Paxton&Whitfield for DH, and I usually buy him a 12 day booze one for the run to Twelfth Night. I’ve got Papier and Penhaligon’s from last year. DD has got Glossybox and MiL will get M&S as her Christmas present. DS will get a food one of some sort - he quite liked Degustabox last year but I think some of it disappointed so looking for something else this year. Smaller kids have small kids ones, as is appropriate.

CorneliaStreet · 30/09/2024 18:45

I haven’t get anything yet, but I’m pretty sure I’m going to go for JL. Just don’t know whether to order it this week or wait a bit in case they discount later. I think it might be popular this year.

I'm having the same thought/dilemma. It's frustrating when they get discounted a few weeks after you buy them, but it's a gamble

Can anyone recommend a reasonably priced grooming calendar for a teen boy? The Next one would have been perfect last year but doesn't seem to exist this year. Around £60 ideally.

Addictedtobeauty · 30/09/2024 18:58

IIRC, John Lewis will price match themselves within 30 days- maybe someone who’s done it can confirm? That could take you up to Black Friday if you leave it a few days to order.
