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

A runners calendar?!!! This could be right up my street!

Can I ask if you have had it before and if it's any good?

For some reason the White Stuff Xmas sock calendar appears to be included in their two for £10 sock sale. It may be a mistake or a deliberate attempt to clear stock.

You have to put it into your basket and get to checkout before it says ‘promotion’ applied.

I have ordered - hopefully it won’t be cancelled.

Hi, are there any discount codes for Fenwicks? I do like the look of that calendar and the gwp!

@Dee1224 - seems to have been removed now.

Am I tempted by LF???

I don’t trust myself anymore.

I am the same! I have put both Fenwicks and Look Fantastic in my basket in the last 2 days, despite having 2 calendars already.
I am trying to be strong and not buy either but am tempted!

@Nearlyadoctor - you have to just put the items in the basket and get as far as checkout, then the £10 price appears. There’s no indication of an offer until then for most of the socks. I ordered the reindeer cabin socks and the calendar for £10.

I just did another order as far as inputting my details and it was still £10.

Of course, it may be an error, (like the LF fiasco), and my order may not appear…

Meanwhile, I really want the Fenwicks calendar now, (even though £165 for 12 days is ridiculous and roughly twice what I have ever paid for one 24/25 day calendar).

However, as @QueefofSheena pointed out, the gwp and samples makes it better value.

But it’s a lot of money for me, especially as I have cupboards full of products already from previous calendars and gwps - I need to have another stiff word with myself!

@pinkchampagne1 you may as well get another one, 3 seems like a sensible number.

It’s the not knowing whether to go for something now or hold out for a discount… but will there by any discounts?! It’s advent torture.

@Dee1224 -thank you, I’ve just done the same with the owl cabin socks and a calendar, we’ll just have to wait and see.

Thanks @Dee1224 I have done the sock deal too. I am not hopeful it won’t be cancelled but I will have one happy DD if it dosent

Fingers crossed that it’s not a mistake and they honour the orders! I went back in and did another order with a further discount for signing up for the newsletter. If it all comes I will be very surprised.

I paid via PayPal in case there are any problems.

Thanks @Dee1224 for the white stuff tip off. I love a Xmas socks!!

Don't forget to sign up to the white stuff newsletter for a 15% off code if buying the calendar and socks - the discount is deducted from the original amount!

Um, I appear to have bought the White Stuff calendar and a pair of robin socks for £3.57. I put in the 15% off code and it went from £10 to £3.57. Fully expect it to be cancelled but we'll see.

Yes, they have taken the 15% off the original amount. I also expect my order to be cancelled by crossing fingers.

Thank you so much! I've just ordered the sock advent calendar and a pair of nice sheep socks. If it doesn't get cancelled it will be a lovely extra present for my daughter.

I really like the look of the LF beauty chest and will probably buy it after transferring the necessary funds to my current account.

Thank you @Dee1224 , I’ve ordered it too, fingers crossed!

Oooh just found this thread! I’ve ordered the ok advent calendar - I already get their monthly beauty box and it’s transformed my skin, found some amazing products through that and always such a huge discount. But I was thinking about the benefit one too.

Reading this thread was not good for my bank balance. Now have a strong desire to buy the fenwick ac. And I have no idea yet what’s in it!

This thread! What am I going to do with all these socks 😂

A question for anyone who has bought socks.

Do you have any idea what size the "one size" in the advent calendars are? I'm thinking of getting them for dd, who is a UK size 3 and ds who is a UK size 11. Are they likely to fit? There normal men's ones are 7-9 and 10-12 and women's are 3-5 and 6-8

Women’s one size socks are usually 4-7 I think, but I can’t see on the website if that’s true of the White Stuff advent calendar. Not in the 2 for £10 section any more, not surprisingly.

It wasn't in the 2 for €14 section but it is reduced when you check in the basket.
