Tis the season...

The first one I've seen actually for sale is the John Lewis Beauty Advent Calendar. £149 with a great selection of products.
Ordered mine!

My liberty calendar is still "processing". I would like it to arrive now please

BulletFox · 26/10/2017 14:26

HelloSunshine actually I would really recommend this year's- there's a lot of wash stuff and hand and nail stuff but I've already earmarked things to give away as xmas pressies.

It's really lovely actually. And there IS a wash cloth included. Squeaky clean skin this year!

caggie09 · 26/10/2017 15:22

Sold out!

Mixed feelings now!!

BulletFox · 26/10/2017 16:03

That went a bit quick, didn't it?!

SloanePeterson · 26/10/2017 16:04

I dithered all morning about buying the liberty one, glad I went ahead now. Christmas is a difficult time for me and I get stressed over expectations versus the hugely different reality. We've massively scaled that back this year and have said no to a few invites that we just can't manage without ds (asd) going through huge distress. Having a nice treat to look forward to every day in the run up will be so lovely. It's ridiculously expensive of course, but why not.

BewareOfDragons · 26/10/2017 16:59

I kept going back to to look at the Liberty one based on all the rave reviews ... dithered ... and it's sold out. Probably just as well. My DH probably would have killed me.

BulletFox · 26/10/2017 17:11

I think you can still get it in store...isn't it a marketing ploy by liberty though? So they can claim it sold out in xxx time but if hereafter you want to buy it in store you might spend more on other things?

It's a really nice calendar, even if you consider the price to be astronomical it still is extremely well packaged, well thought out and the products are good

chloechloe we clearly have the same taste in advent calendars! And glad to know I’m not the only one overindulging. I was thinking about the M&S one too, it’s such good value. Annoying they won’t ship abroad Sad

Thanks to all for the feedback about the LF calendar delivery. I will definitely chase them up.

MountainDweller · 26/10/2017 21:32

Oh and apparently my Liberty one is on the way and will arrive on Tuesday - very impressed and excited!

MotherofTerror · 26/10/2017 21:44

Mine hasn’t shipped yet

BewareOfDragons · 26/10/2017 21:53

Boots No7 advent calendar also appears to have sold out. Relieved mine arrived this morning.

Mrsallovertheplace · 26/10/2017 22:25

I'm glad the liberty temptation has gone tbh, I got another LF advent for my sister and she's so excited, as am I, as we unbox it all together over wine Grin well worth the holding back! I'm hopelessly excited now!

The Boots one has sold out?? They never even sent me the promised email!

MotherofTerror · 27/10/2017 09:31

Really cross with TK Maxx - ordered the Ciate advent calendar last Saturday, and they emailed today to say its not available and they won't be sending it. Not impressed

Liberty order still shows as processing

Laska5772 · 27/10/2017 10:41

Mother they had them in our local store yesterday are you near one?

BewareOfDragons · 27/10/2017 10:51

John Lewis and Cowshed sold out.

The Ciate one looks nice.

Never realized how popular these are!

MotherofTerror · 27/10/2017 10:53

Thanks Laska, I'll go tomorrow and have a look. Cross cos it took them 6 days to tell me they're not sending it, I could have looked in store during the week

MotherofTerror · 27/10/2017 10:54

It was £30 at TKMaxx rather than £50, Beware. Promised my daughter one so will have to get it from somewhere, but I'll try TK maxx in store

BewareOfDragons · 27/10/2017 11:02

That would be a huge difference in price. :( I hope you find it.

Theonlyoneiknow · 27/10/2017 11:34

Did anyone go for the Selfridges or Keihls (probs mispelt that!) calender ?

Magstermay · 27/10/2017 14:27

I've got the Kiehl's one but it's hidden away til December and I have resisted reading what's in it! Think it sold out pretty quickly.

Viserion · 27/10/2017 15:28

@pinyata - what size mailing tubes did you use to make that fabulous advent calendar for your DH? Might try to get creative and do something similar....
