Had the fenwick one last year and I might be tempted again

Thought CB was released on the 12th (So a week on Tuesday?)

Thanks I honestly can't remember. Got Space NK already because while probably less value for money than CB, it's not guaranteed you can get hold of CB. Last year after the site crashed I just happened to try the link, it worked, I got it and within minutes it was sold out. Sheer luck.

That Harrods one looks beautiful. How many Advent Calendars do I need? Grin

At least 3 Grin

@Babysharkdoodoodood Thanks for this, Fenwick was the last one I was waiting for before making a decision. Hopefully they reveal the contents before the JL one is released on Monday as it looks like a potential contender for me

BunnytheFriendlyDragon · 02/10/2021 15:06

We don't know what's in the Fenwick one though do we? I suppose they will sell out whether they market well in advance or not!

MidnightMeltdown · 02/10/2021 15:12

I find it interesting to see how quickly the various calendars sell out. I think it depends to some extent on whether or not they offer international shipping, as I think we have more choice in the UK than some other countries.

I had the Fenwick calendar last year and loved it. I will buy this one.

Harrods box looks beautiful and an amazing array, but leery of what it's going to cost in the end!

PomRuns · 02/10/2021 16:40

I’ve ordered fortnums but want Harrods too - they need to release the price.

PomRuns · 02/10/2021 16:41

Sorry just saw the posts saying £250

cookingisoverrated · 02/10/2021 16:47

Next calendar is no longer available on the webstie...

BunnytheFriendlyDragon · 02/10/2021 17:02

I haven't had the Febwick one but it looked good.

A part of me is tempted to buy one of the calendars without knowing what's in it and I think Fenwick would be a good one for that.

Possibly also CB or JL but I have seen what's in them.

wheresmyshoe · 02/10/2021 18:01

I'm between Fenwick, NaP and Harrods at the moment.

Anyone considering Charlotte Tilbury, it’s currently 15% off at John Lewis.

Nars is all lip products again

Yawn

AprilLady · 03/10/2021 15:00

N-a-P advent is now showing on their website as “coming soon”. But price is £255, not £225. At that price, Harrods definitely looks the better option to me.

AprilLady · 03/10/2021 15:01

@BunnytheFriendlyDragon, agree re Nars. I got the calendar (at an end of season discount) two years ago I think and it was a much better mix of both lip and eye products.

MidnightMeltdown · 03/10/2021 15:16

Ah, that helps me make my mind up about NAP. Don't think I want to pay £255 for it. Especially not since it contains a bloody gua sha stone.

MidnightMeltdown · 03/10/2021 15:27

I did think it was a bit odd that the NAP price had gone down since last year, while the value had gone up.

trying29 · 03/10/2021 17:06

What time do you think JL will go online?

Icecreamsprinkles · 03/10/2021 20:42

Anyone stalking the SpaceNK calendar like me. The prom code MEAN15 gets you 15% (£29.85) off . I can’t decide wether to go for this or hold out and see if they do the £15 off every £60 like last year
What does everyone else think?

Housewife2010 · 03/10/2021 20:44

There's a 15% off Space NK code that can be used against the calendar. MEAN15 which takes it down to £169. I don't know when it expires.

We are obviously spending our Sunday evenings doing the same thing (stalking advent calendars) @Housewife2010
It’s a great saving but could there be a better deal lurking if they do the £15 off for £60 spend. Decisions, decisions
Did you go for it? @housewife2010
