[Coniferhedge]

As you were everyone!

I'm the same! I want to order a couple of bras, but thought I'd wait to see what's in the calendar 😂

[Gazelda]

I just can't choooooose!

[ajandjjmum]

@wheresmyshoe

My final pairs of decent everyday knickers are starting to fray but I'm holding out buying more until we know about the M&S calendar 😆

Me too! I looked last week and decided to hold off until I know if the calendar is definitely happening!

[wheresmyshoe]

Hehehe, I'm so pleased to know I'm not the only one in scruffy undies holding out for the M&S holy grail. I hope they don't let us down with too many drawers of disappointment!

[MidnightMeltdown]

They'll be no knickers left in M&S when the calendar finally drops - everyone will rush to buy at once! 🤣

[JasonMomoasgirlfriend]

@gratedbeetroot is that the rhubarb and something one? I remember thinking"oh I'd love that!" But then I live rhubarb :)

[70isaLimitNotaTarget]

I stocked up on knickers and socks last week

I was waiting foe a 20% off but I really wanted a coat (and had £10 voucher) so thought go for it , the coat will sell out

I've never bought the M&S A/C but if they do the Autograph skincare one , I might

[LastSummerHere]

I think I will buy the Rituals one when it comes on FU (the Rituals site doesn't deliver to me sob sob) and also the M&S one. Also dying to see Lancôme as I quite fancy some of their stuff sitting pretty in my newly decorated bathroom. Or am I the only one who buys things sometimes by how they'll look?🤔😆

I think it is. It would probably be different if the intended recipient didn’t have young kids but I want to treat her to some products that are just for her, not a household item!

I had a couple of full size rituals products in a calendar last year I think. Was lovely stuff, but I don’t get excited by shower gels or body lotions.

@LastSummerHere
Here's the details on this years Lancôme
reallyree.com/lancome-advent-calendar/

I might get this as I love the Genifique serum, Idole perfume & Lancome mascaras are good too.

I just had an email back from John Lewis they've confirmed there will be a calendar but can't give a release date as of yet. They said I will receive an email as soon as the date is known.

[PomRuns]

Excellent detective work @TracyBeakerSoYeah

[Hekatestorch]

Just checking in so I keep up!

[Nowmum43]

@TracyBeakerSoYeah can you email M&S too

[Offredismysister]

I’m still undecided, waiting to see what selfridges & John Lewis offer. Hopefully, they’ve been reading these threads.

[OchonAgusOchonOh]

H&B is now available here for anyone planning on getting it.

[OchonAgusOchonOh]

@OchonAgusOchonOh

H&B is now available here for anyone planning on getting it.

Still no response as to whether it will be available on the EU site.

[Ilikeviognier]

Ohhhh just ordered the h and b one!!!!

[JulesJules]

Just got the email to say the Holland and Barrett cal is now available - was going to get one each for my DDs (19 and nearly 17 - one is just off back to university) but now I'm fatally wavering..

This is what I always do!

[ajandjjmum]

I've ordered 2 H & B - one for an elderly friend who's had a tough year, and another for a vegan friend. Think it'll make them happy!

[IToldYouIWasFreaky]

Just ordered H&B!

Now I just need M&S and John Lewis details to decide if I'm going to go for either of those...if not, maybe Next. Or maybe one of their beauty boxes. I've been reaallllly good recently at using up odds and ends (even remembering to use eye cream daily) so feel I deserve it.

[Window1]

How quickly do they h and b sell out if I want some thinking time?

[I8toys]

Ordered H&B - just because I like the unusual products I would never even consider. I use the mirror all the time and the bb cream

[DrRamsesEmerson]

Hurrah, just ordered H&B! I might get M&S too if they do a proper one, their summer beauty bag had some good stuff in it.

@Window1

Pretty quickly. But i missed out on it when it was 1st released last year (didn't get an email notification) and they brought more out a few weeks later so there's a couple of chances to get it.

[MidnightMeltdown]

@Window1

There's a H&B unboxing on YouTube you might help you decide.
Think I'm going to skip it as I don't need the products and still have a number from last year
