Thought I would do a little post about birthday gifts and what to expect as it's my birthday this month so the 'gift' emails have been arriving. Some are more genuine gift than others.
SpaceNK - This was a nice one. You get to add a little bag of samples to your basket. They tell you a list of what could be in the current birthday month gift then you get a surprise selection of those.
I liked this one just because there was no min spend so I bought something for £10 and added the gift. If you're a Deluxe Indulge member you get a full size gift.
In mine was 3 sachets of Oribe Gold Lust shampoo, conditioner & hair oil
Amika hair mask 20ml
Laura Mercer Bath and Body oil 5ml
Dr Dennis Gross Repair serum 7ml
Replica Afternoon Delight 1.5ml
Inkey list oat cleansing balm sachet
Sisley eye contour mask sachet
Sephora - Gold tier. At the beginning of the month they sent me a 15% off code that can be used multiple times through the month. Day before birthday I can add the birthday reward to basket. It appears that May is Color Wow dream coat 50ml which I'm underwhelmed with as I just gave away a full size to a friend. Unless the gift changes I probably won't bother as you have to make a purchase to get it. I would have preferred the Silver tier gift which is 15ml perfume!
Lookfantastic - A surprise birthday gift on the day so watch this space.
Cult Beauty - Gold member. I was a bit disappointed with this one. You get a £25 discount code valid for 14 days after receipt of the email so I've got about a week left. The minimum spend is £100 though and there are exclusions for certain brands, edits etc. There's nothing I currently want or need for £100 plus so I would be spending £75 for the sake of it. If I'm still Gold next year I'll plan better as I didn't realise it would be a high min spend.
Boots - Double points all month. This one is better than it sounds. I've bought a couple of things and stacked other offers. Also bought some work lunches and general chemist bits and pieces. It adds up more than you think.
Allbeauty - They sent a £10 off code at the beginning of the month. No min spend although some exclusions.
Yesstyle - A choice of Free Shipping, 15% off, a sun stick or a keyring.
That's all so far. I guess there will be a few more by the actual date.
