Continuing the discussion ...will there be some good discounts?

@Possimpible I know what you mean about single brands as it can get a bit samey. Although last year I had the Molten Brown calendar and I loved it. The best gift for me was it came with a travel perfume holder and then also had several vials of scent that slot into the holder. I have consistently used this travelling, such a useful gift. Their travel body washes are also so so good - last for such a surprisingly long time and always smell gorgeous.

I have done White Company in the past and liked it but wouldn't do it again as I think it would just be more of the same stuff.

I'm glad to see the orders are being honoured. I've had emails to say that the single pairs of sock I ordered have arrived in store but the advent calendars is awaiting despatch, so I'm hoping I will get it.

My White stuff calendar ordered on Friday still says waiting to be shipped but a blouse I ordered last night has already been dispatched, fingers crossed for the calendar 🤞

Fingers crossed for you @Growlybear83 and @Nearlyadoctor 🤞

Hope you get yours too @Possimpible

I have been wishing all year that I had bought the liberty jewellery advent calendar when I saw it in the sale last time. It was still expensive but I could have kept it for this year.

They don’t seem to be doing one this year-maybe because last year’s didn’t sell. Or did it come out later? Anyone know?

It did come out later @Dee1224 last year

Thanks @BakeOffRewatch

My White Stuff order is ready to collect from store. Sent in 2 deliveries: 1 pair of socks and AC separately.
£3.17 for all that!!!! I actually feel a bit bad as I'm sure it was a system error.

Aargh! 13 pages in and I’m here for placemarking. Embarrassing

Same! I'll see how the advent ones are packaged but may donate at least some to a Christmas appeal. Fair play to White Stuff for honouring the orders.

I had an email this morning to say White Stuff are working on my order. If I does arrive I will take some of the socks to my favourite charity shop.

Someone please help.

The Boots advent calendar or the GlossyBox one?

I want to order one today. I can't decide.

I would get Boots as my preference. But they are both good. Have you watched an unboxing they both have them on YouTube. That may help you make the decision if you don’t mind not having a surprise

My other white stuff order was cancelled, which I kind of expected.

Has anyone ordered the look fantastic advent calendar? I am thinking of getting it but also tempted by the Harrods one

Any gwp with advents or big discounts available yet? I wasn’t that enamoured with any calendars this year but when they start dropping I may bite!

No, no discounts yet as far as I can see. I don’t think they’ll drop until mid November or so.

I've not had a dispatch email so I'm expecting this to happen to me, although haven't heard anything yet

I've been wondering about discounts too. I think some might start to offer a code in the next two weeks but agree it'll probably be a while before anything significant, especially on the more expensive ones.

Doh! I’ve had a look through and only John Lewis really appeals. I’ll keep an eye out. Thanks!

I've bought JL for DD Satsuma - it seemed to have a nice mix of stuff!

I cannot work out what GWP means? Help please.

@FuckoffeeBeforeCoffee it's gift with purchase

I ended up with LF calendar after originally saying it had many duplicate products for me - the deal with the beauty chest swayed it, 162 for all that was a really good deal. I'll have to sell a few duplicates.

My 2 sock advent calendar orders have been cancelled- I did expect them to be although as my first order was early evening Friday was hopeful for that one .
