Oops. Ignore my suggestion of blank lines. It's watched threads that show you the first line of a post.

Anyone got the Space NK gwp. It's great value. I cant afford it just now, does it usually sell out quickly?

AsPerMyLastEmail · 01/11/2020 19:59

I’ve got the Soace NK GWP. It’s brilliant. I mentioned upthread that he’s beautifully packaged and includes ready made small coloured cardboard boxes (in a cracker shape) fit you to put stuff in and give as gifts.

FYI, the GWP had a lot of hair products in. For me that was a big selling point as I love trying high-end hair are, but I know it may not be a selling point for some.

@Bambooble I’d be up for joining a H&B advent November thread if you start one!

Bambooble · 01/11/2020 20:19

If I put

H&B November advent opening spoilers

As the title, will that be okay? I'm scared of doing it wrong haha!

OchonAgusOchonO · 01/11/2020 20:32

@Bambooble - should be. And maybe for the first post, say it again Smile.

BurningTheToast · 01/11/2020 20:35

I’ve succumbed to the Lumene calendar - I got an email from Feel Unique about their GWP and it felt like a sign so I added a couple things I actually needed and it’s on its way. I’m going to open either it or LF in November - will there be a thread for either? Opening with other people who share my weakness for skincare will be lovely as DH really doesn’t get it!

Butterymuffin · 01/11/2020 21:07

That looks fine to me @Bambooble! I won't be reading further on that thread but hope you guys have fun. It should be crystal clear that people who don't want to encounter spoilers should steer clear!

@Bambooble - I think I've done it:

Enjoy. The daily threads are the best.

EatPrayYoga · 01/11/2020 21:13

I think that's fine @Bambooble It should be pretty obvious to anyone not opening their H&B yet not to join that one.

I won't be joining as I'm not opening mine yet (still haven't decided exactly what I will be doing with my two calendars) but hope you enjoy!

despondentatwork · 01/11/2020 21:32

What's GWP??

EatPrayYoga · 01/11/2020 21:46

Gift with purchase E.g. spend £100 and get this free

ProfessorRadcliffeEmerson · 01/11/2020 22:11

Bother, I wish I'd seen @Bamboobled's post this morning! I decided to open my Rituals calendar this month and save the H&B one for December, but if I'd known there was going to be a live H&B thread I'd have done it the other way round.

Butterymuffin · 01/11/2020 22:24

@TeatimeAtCloppa that's so kind of you. Proper Christmas spirit there!

@ProfessorRadcliffeEmerson I bet there will be others opening it in December.

Just read the contents of the Glossybox Black Friday box, which is a good price at £15, but has too many filler items for me and things I just won't use so I'll pass. Still holding out for any more calendar deals!

@ProfessorRadcliffeEmerson - you've only opened one day. You can always swap and then start back on rituals in December.

Pomegranatespompom · 01/11/2020 22:29

Do you have to have an account with feel unique to get the GWP? I can’t see it on the website.

Costacoffeeplease · 01/11/2020 23:06

I’m starting lumene next weekend, then H&b December

Babysharkdoodoodood · 02/11/2020 00:03

I'm going to open rituals in December. Need to set up all the little houses and lights.

Then Selfridges in January.

Also my Nespresso one in December Grin

Space NK GWP looks good but the spend is too high and I don't have that many items on my wishlist. Bit disappointed there aren't some bigger items in it as well considering the minimum spend

ajandjjmum · 02/11/2020 05:41

I bought Christmas presents and got the Space NK GWP - I agree Mia, the size of the items weren't great. Very few I could use as additional Christmas gifts. Love the idea of the gift boxes though, but feel that it would look like I had gifted samples.

MiaN · 02/11/2020 07:03

ajandjjmum - my HG hair leave in is part of the gift (idk mistress)! Few things i use in full size so I hope you find things you love in it!

BurningTheToast · 02/11/2020 07:07

Someone couldn't find the link to the Feel Unique GWP. Here you go:

John Lewis calendar seems to be out of stock online.

QVC have an Elemis offer today: Toner, balm, moisturiser, eye cream (sample), shower gel, hand cream (small) and body lotion for £55. I have not used Elemis for a few years, it seems a good offer so I’ve decided to get it 😳 My friend sent me a promo code for £10 off as a 1st order. Happy to pass on.
