@Breathmiller - the Arran one ticks all the boxes for your mum.

OchonAgusOchonO · 21/10/2020 22:33

@YorkieTheRabbit - 🤞🏻 for you too.

Nearlyadoctor · 21/10/2020 22:36

Sorry forgot the link :

There was also a discount code, I think it was Welcome20

Yay! Insomnia has finally paid off. Net a Porter was sold out and now it's not so I've just managed to order one. I got my DD a Liberty one last year for her early December birthday and she asked for the Net a Porter one this year. Big sigh of relief from me - I wasn't sure how I was going to break the news that I'd missed out.
I now have to pray that Glossy Box magically reappears for DD2.
And then John Lewis get reduced to half price for DD3.
One down - two to go.

I love Cosmetopia, she is so honest and lovely.

My DP ordered my LF but he has text me this morning to say the money has gone out his bank and it's now saying dispatched (nothing from Royal Mail though?) so hopefully move isn't too far away!!

TeatimeAtCloppa · 22/10/2020 08:15

I just received an email telling me it is now with Royal Mail. I too was worried I wouldn't get it by December.

foilflower · 22/10/2020 08:17

Three days after dispatch mine is still hasn’t even made it to Royal Mail Hmm I should have received it today. Apparently they won’t look into it until 7 days after dispatch, despite the fact it appears it’s sitting there somewhere.

YorkieTheRabbit · 22/10/2020 08:58

Mmm, not really sure what’s going on with LK. The money went from my bank on Monday, dispatch email from LK on Monday morning. Tracking on Royalmail hasn’t changed, still says it’s on it’s way to them Confused, it’s supposedly sent as 48 hour delivery. I’m going to try live chat and see how that goes. I ordered something else a couple of weeks ago and that was dispatched quick and arrived no problem.

Got a text today from royal mail to say they will deliver my LF Calendar tomorrow! Whoop whoop!

I think it looks brilliant. Not a Glossybox subscriber so I hope it hangs around long enough for me to get it. I tried to buy the Skin Saver Cult Beauty box and when I went to check it out, it was no longer in stock. So many of the calendars and boxes are going so fast. People must really want to have a special, pampering, relaxing time this Christmas after the year from Hell.

Bool · 22/10/2020 15:49

Have gone a bit mad this year and even bought one for the puppy Grin

LizzieMacQueen · 22/10/2020 16:53

I'm surprised to see Liberty is still in stock.

Lol I have calendars to buy for four little children so my poor deprived mutt will have to just get a biscuit each day instead. Grin I will buy her a Christmas stocking though.

Horehound · 22/10/2020 18:48

Are there ways to get the space nk and the net a porter ones for less money as they are £££
Obv the m and s one was £££ but then you bought something to get the discount...is there something like that for these ones?

Horehound · 22/10/2020 18:57

Or any other 24/25 day calendar that's on par with m and s

Im sad cause me and mum gifted each other the m and s one last year and we loved opening together. Need something to replace it

Gotthetshirt23 · 22/10/2020 19:52

@Horehound
What about Holland and Barrett ? If they are still available?
That's what I've gone with ?

Horehound · 22/10/2020 20:24

Looks sold out @Gotthetshirt23 but thanks. It did look nice although I'd probably prefer a bit more makeup

beautyboxaddict · 22/10/2020 20:32

Not a beauty calendar but Nespresso advent calendars are out and they’re doing both pod sizes this year if anyone is interested

Bellsandwhistle · 22/10/2020 20:39

I’ve got liberty and fenwick (plus gift bag) so need to stop now. I might do fenwick for November. I’ve had liberty for past 3 years amd now can use those to make own advents for kids. They’ve had smiggle before but as tweens/teens I think I need to make my own this year for a sweet/treat combo one. Thinking sweets, stationary, smellies etc. Any ideas welcome.

EatPrayYoga · 22/10/2020 21:26

I was wondering whether to open one calendar in November and one in December (instead of saving one for Jan) but can't decide. Opening one any time but December feels wrong but I feel it'd be a waste to open them both in December

Same here. However, I did enjoy the daily threads last year and would hate to miss that.

Maybe we could start daily threads for november (obviously with a big disclaimer warning people not to look if they don't want to see spoilers)?

I want to open the LF one in december (assuming it arrives) and then the Lumene one in november or january.
