Well. Playing advent roulette is way more fun than actually opening the ascents, I’ve decided.

How low will they go?! 🕺

MyOtherCarIsAHearse · 30/11/2022 16:23

Advents*

clearly so excited I can’t type!

Passmeaplacard · 30/11/2022 17:03

I’m slightly gutted that I’m away with work and can’t open my advents until Friday. At least Friday will be fun!

Couperi · 30/11/2022 17:45

Surely those still in stock will have to reduce further after tomorrow? crosses fingers for CB and F&M reductions

TheDuchessOfMN · 30/11/2022 17:55

I would probably buy Cult beauty if it drops to half price, but I think if they do that, nobody is going to buy it ever again at full price. It’s a tricky decision for them

Pinenu · 30/11/2022 18:02

True but it hasn’t stopped others from dropping to half price so fingers crossed. The alternative is to be left with a load of calendars.

I am enjoying finding and sharing the deals more than the thought of actually opening the calendars 😂

TheDuchessOfMN · 30/11/2022 18:07

I know. I check my basket (CB) multiple times each day to check the price. I think a part of me will be relieved if it sells out!

I had a message yesterday to say that my Selfridges AC would arrive today. Only ordered yesterday so impressed. But today I've heard nothing and was told that I would be informed when it was out for delivery and given a time slot.

I had only booked standard delivery so was impressed with one day delivery. Anyone received their's yet?

I booked next day delivery, was expecting it today but it hasn’t arrived. The tracking says tomorrow so fingers crossed!

Zoetrope1 · 30/11/2022 18:35

I’m also still waiting on CB and LiB from TikTok. CB is definitely on its way, LiB was updated to dispatched a few days ago but it’s still stuck on waiting on courier pick up

I also ordered the LiB from TikTok too and mine seems stuck too with the supplier. Hope it does arrive at some point. 🤞🤞

Pinenu · 30/11/2022 18:46

Same for me @Biscuitsforsupper

I had another email this morning saying it’s out for delivery but nothing yet. The same happened with another parcel so it doesn’t seem to be an issue with the suppliers.

JustWhatIAlwaysWanted · 30/11/2022 18:47

My replacement Degustabox calendar arrived today! So am ready to go with Next and that which we have as a family one tomorrow. DH and DC have their own interest-based ones too and we also each have a consumable one - coffee for me and DH and chocolate for DC.

I am still keeping an eye out for deals as I'd then have a Jadvent, but so far I've either resisted, or newly discounted ones have sold out before I got to them. Never mind.Glossybox have emailed about a competition to win a trip somewhere 'and an advent calendar' so presumably there are some left!

Look forward to joining in on the general opening thread tomorrow 🎄

Pinenu · 30/11/2022 18:50

Forgot to add for anyone in a similar position - I ordered LiB from TikTok on 26/11 and it is now with Yodel expected to be delivered within the next 2 days.

TooMuchMascara · 30/11/2022 19:01

Does anyone know if F&M have reduced price in previous years? Or have they always sold out? I’m constantly refreshing my basket in the hope of 50% off!

diamondsandrose · 30/11/2022 19:02

My glossybox 2021 advent arrived and it's HUGE! Bigger than flannels

Which do I open which do I keep for Jadvent ?

Was briefly tempted by Fenwicks but realised it was only the Delina body cream I really wanted

EasterIssland · 30/11/2022 19:03

Just took my calendars out! Let the fun begin

Pinenu · 30/11/2022 19:24

My Selfridges has just arrived!

OchonAgusOchonOh · 30/11/2022 19:26

I'm away until tomorrow evening so it will be a late opening for me.

There aren't very many dedicated calendar threads yet as far as I can see. I don't want to start one for CB as I'd be afraid I'd see details before I've opened it.

PomRuns · 30/11/2022 19:27

Have JL ready, waiting for LiB 😊

KimmySchmitt · 30/11/2022 19:28

Anyone started/starting a thread for LiB or Flannels? Would love an opening thread for both

InfinityOrUndefined · 30/11/2022 19:36

My selfridges hasn't moved at all. I can't log in to see the status because they are updating their pages. I will open tomorrow Bodyshop from brandalley.

diamondsandrose · 30/11/2022 19:40

I'm going to start Flannels tomorrow and my 2021 Glossybox for Jadvent

DD15 has the basic body shop one wonder if there will be a thread for the various Body Shop ones or a combined ?

shinny · 30/11/2022 19:42

My Selfridges was meant to be delivered today by DPD. I even stalked the delivery guy from yesterday (delivered a wine AC) a bit hoping he was returning but he went to a neighbour. DPD tracking says they have my details but no parcel. I have Liberty to open tomorrow and sitting on my hands not to buy Fenwicks cos I adore the circus themed box - it is a thing of beauty 😍.

Pinenu · 30/11/2022 20:02

Hope all of you waiting will get a surprise late night/early morning Selfridges delivery.

I’ve ended up with 2 x heat protection sprays (We Are Paradoxx Moisture Heat Protect Spray) but I don’t use any heat on my hair. Does anyone know of any other use for them?
