Even though I didn't want Space NK I'm feeling very left out this morning Grin

I’ve ordered Space NK too and the discount with Blue light card worked which was a nice surprise 🥳

SocksAndTheCity · 17/09/2021 11:43

@poolblue

Did someone mention a Next calendar for pregnant mums? I can't find it on their website?
@poolblue

Is this what you're thinking of - currently out of stock unfortunately.

JasonMomoasgirlfriend · 17/09/2021 12:33

@poolblue it was me but it wasn't a calendar it's a beauty box.
Here is the link and this one is in stock :)

Just got a SpaceNK Grin

CountryCob · 17/09/2021 13:12

Space NK is sat in my basket, might buy this afternoon. Does anyone have a discount code?

CountryCob · 17/09/2021 13:12

I want to be on the December thread and think it might be the one that got away if didn’t buy….

JasonMomoasgirlfriend · 17/09/2021 13:36

I just bought the Clinique calendar as they are doing a 3 mini deluxe offer worth £21 for free I'd you spend over £45.
my granny likes Clinique products so I'm going to actually just open the calendar fully and pick out a few items for her which I will give in her Xmas stocking and I will keep the items I don't think she will use. Plus the free 3 items on top :)

That goes against my "a door a day" policy but really I need to be saving money since I'll be off on maternity and this way I don't need to buy too much more for granny either. Just a book and some chocolates probably.

DH promised me he'd buy me an m and s calendar so I'll still have something to open each day :)

Hello,

I always seem to miss out in GWP, what’s the best way to hear about them in advance?

Hekatestorch · 17/09/2021 13:58

Just ordered the Space NK one. Well I actually ordered 2. One for my dd (17) who was hinting about how lovely it was. 🙄

gratedbeetroot · 17/09/2021 14:01

I’m still going to leave SpaceNK, despite reading about all the recent purchases of it! Sizes of the things I want to try are too small, and there aren’t enough that I want to try to make the whole thing good value for me. The Sisley mask is one of the main things that appeals but I’ll add it to my wish list and get full size.

JL is top of my list (at the moment!).

ashmts · 17/09/2021 14:35

Actually a bit annoyed at Space NK. I'm sure it was meant to be launched tomorrow but seems to be on general release now. I signed up for the waitlist weeks ago and haven't had an email. Ah well, I'd already decided against getting it. It is very tempting when a lot of people on here are ordering though...

I was on the wait list and my 3mail had gone into spam. Have you checked there?
westr · 17/09/2021 16:02

I've ordered space nk too!

paradyning · 17/09/2021 16:14

How are you all managing to order Space NK. I just get a join the waitlist/coming soon webpage!

BlackSwan · 17/09/2021 16:17

Not ordering SpaceNK. Apart from the full size Medik8 not much in it I'm bothered about.
So much wasteful packaging in these calendars too.
