[Butterymuffin]

The hunt continues! We await Black Friday developments.

I quite fancy a velvetiser, I love hot chocolate.

[EatPrayYoga]

They have great reviews foil I got a good deal on QVC last weekend but I also saw a 20% off code for HC on a thread on here. There seem to have been a few hot chocolate threads recently!

[OchonAgusOchonO]

Since when is it about need?!

Very true Yoga

I've got a ridiculous number of teas and don't think I have time to add hot chocolate. Maybe a new teapot.....

[Pomegranatespompom]

I’ve not tried Aldi before - I think I might try to get it.

Have you seen there’s a Whittards hot chocolate advent calendar? I think I’d need that to go with it too

[Pomegranatespompom]

The Whittards box is beautiful.

I've got the liberty one and have ordered the fenwick plus free beauty bag. Thinking to open one in December and the other in January.

[BuffaloMozzerella]

I've ordered a LF one which hasn't been despatched yet. I emailed them and they responded with this:

[EatPrayYoga]

Ochon

Foil

Yes I saw the Whittards calendar on Planning With Crystal on Youtube. It's lovely but I think it was about £65 IIRC which seems a lot for hot chcolate plus I'd rather choose flavours but I did buy some whittards luxury milk hot chocolate this week to try as I'm not sure the Hotel Chocolat ones are sweet enough for me 🙈

[OchonAgusOchonO]

@BuffaloMozzerella - I guess you and I can have our own support group.

[chloechloe]

I need help. I’m currently on the Hotel Chocolat website and wondering whether I can justify the £9.95 EU delivery charge.

I could order quite a few things to make it worthwhile!

[carolebaskinfedhimtothetigers]

@EatPrayYoga

Yours might be a few days behind Ochon

I'm waiting for two packages at the moment - my LF calendar and the Hotel Chocolat velvetiser

Me too although I did only order my velvetiser yesterday so it won't be here for a while yet, I only went on the website to compare the price with Lakeland (as I was going to be passing a hotel chocolat shop later in the day so was going to go in and buy it) but it popped up saying £20 off so I ordered there and then!

[ruthieness]

Just to say that link to the Aldi calendar is for last year - not this year -
if they do one again I highly recommend - the pink clay cleanser is just perfect! The rose oil is lovely! And the toner great size for travel

[EatPrayYoga]

Ooh @carolebaskinfedhimtothetigers I'm really excited for mine! I ordered last weekend and they said 7-10 days so it should be on its way soon but then this could be LF all over again

Did you order @chloechloe You could order some hot chocolates to go with it, or gifts or an advent calendar I have been eyeing up the velvetiser for ages so I thought I may as well get it now as get some use out of it over winter!

Are you all getting chocolate calendars as well? I want one for me and one for DH but I can't decide whether to treat myself or just get a relatively cheap one given what we've spent on beauty calendars!

[OchonAgusOchonO]

@chloechloe - I need help. I’m currently on the Hotel Chocolat website and wondering whether I can justify the £9.95 EU delivery charge.

I don't understand? It's good quality chocolate. It can always be justified.

Although if you're looking for something really delicious try www.hazelmountainchocolate.com

Their chocolate is amazing.

[EatPrayYoga]

Sorry did I misunderstand. I assumed you were after the velvetiser too Chloe

[EatPrayYoga]

My RM tracking info for LF still says this

[OchonAgusOchonO]

Yoga - I assume she is too. I was just saying anything to do with good quality chocolate requires no justification.

[OchonAgusOchonO]

Presumably shipped from somewhere in the EU, Yoga.

[EatPrayYoga]

Ochon I agree! I am having a look at that web link you posted 🍫

[woodhill]

I must admit I like the M&S one from previous years but I may save my money this year. Small sizes aren't great for the environment and I'm trying to use my products up.

Plus ltd travel

However understand the appeal

[swishswashy]

Got the liberty one yesterday. Opened every box last night and had a look with dd, all products I'm excited to use. Now it's in cupboard until December 1!

[OchonAgusOchonO]

Yoga, there chocolate is amazing.

I don’t usually get a chocolate calendar but I usually make one for dh with really nice chocolate. I usually do a few days with 2 things in it so I get some surprise days. I think I'll increase the number of days with 2 this year

[EatPrayYoga]

That's nice Ochon I want to do something nice for DH and every year I don't get around to it and buy one! If I start thinking about it now maybe I can do something. What do you use for the actual calendar? I'd maybe buy a cloth one...
