Soap and Glory Star Gift is live - www.boots.com/soap-and-glory-sweet-tin-tations-10268291

I was just going to post that @CottonHeadTinyMuggins I’m not getting it this year as I still have stuff from previous sets (especially body stuff) but I do like the face products and mascara

Just an update. I saw my friend I made a calendar for this morning and she said she adores it. It’s making her Christmas. So pleased I sorted it out.

Not getting the Soap and Glory - same old, same old!

I'm not getting it either as now I have products coming out of my ears.

I have so much soap and glory, I donate it to raffles etc throughout the year but still have hundreds of Clean on Mes. I remember when they first started doing them as a star gift they'd sell out super quick, I agree that they're boring now. They need something new! Also seems a bit silly as most people won't buy anything S&G in the year now if they have this.

I got given some small-sized Soap and Glory products in a gift tin a couple of years ago. Three products were the Sugar Crush range and the three others were something else. I haven’t actually used them yet, I have a lot of Body Shop stuff... I can see how it’s a problem if you constantly get given Soap and Glory stuff, though.

I was in Boots today and had a sniff of the Call of Fruity body buttercream, I really liked the smell!

Dilemma - I am going away v.early in the morning until Wed.

1. Do I open my calendars now

or

1. Do I wait? :)

Depends which calendars and whether you can take the numbered boxes with you without taking the whole thing

The right thing to do would be to wait but it’s a long time and you could get some useful minis to take away so I would open now 🙈

I'm going away next weekend, sat morning to Monday lunch...i think I will open mine Friday morning incase there's anything I want to take 😊

You've both persuaded me! I am only taking hand luggage so don't have the room for the boxes and knowing US customs I would much rather know exactly what I am carrying!

I will be good though and save Wednesdays for when I get back at night.

😄

@LEELULUMPKIN I hope you enjoy both your trip and your mass opening session beforehand!

Thank you eat! I am very excited and have been looking forward to it for ages.

I am the full time carer of DS 14 who is severely disabled and this will be the first trip DH and I have had alone without him for several years.

We are off to Boston, MA for three nights, whatever will we do with ourselves?!

So glad I opened the calendars as there are items in there that will be perfect!

I hope you have a fab time! :)

Have a great time @LEELULUMPKIN

Have a wonderful time!

Hope you have a fantastic time, you deserve it! :)

Have a fantastic time Lee!

Have a great time Lee, glad the advent calendars have given you some nice bits and you will have the chance to use and enjoy them x

Just popping on to say the harrods calendar is half price now.

Wow so it is....aaagh so tempted

Trying to ignore it, since most are dinky sizes. Eep!

The items in the Harrods calendar do seem to be ridiculously small given the price.

Harrods? Poor value? Can’t believe it.
