Or will you start opening in November?

Either way, it's not long now......time to make your choice (s).

Continuing the thread.

My Harvey's Nichols order with the free fragrance set has arrived. I only had a peek as it's my Christmas present, but the fragrance gift is in a big box and the scents I saw are boxed. I think if the promotional.photo had been better (they looked very tiny in it) it would have sold out more quickly. I knew the sizes but it does look much better than I'd expected.

Net a porter has 30% off taking it down to £192.50. If anyone fancies this

TreesinthePark · 20/11/2023 13:02

My problems is that I'm a snob and also very cheap at the same time.

In the last couple of years since getting into luxury advents and beauty boxes I'm more into the high-end brands now. I had M&S for years and loved it but now my taste exceeds my budget. It's half true when they say you pay luxury prices for the packaging but in my opinion beautiful, high quality packaging adds to the overall beauty experience.

I've got another holiday to pay for; this year was the first time I went abroad since COVID and I can really see how not travelling funded my beauty buying the last few years.

I'm still holding out for a luxury bargain though!

QueefofSheena · 20/11/2023 13:13

I’m not surprised about NAP tbh. I wonder if it will drop further? I’d be tempted if it was a bargain price as I use Sarah Chapman and there are other things I’d definitely use, including the earrings and gloves.

Twinsandsome · 20/11/2023 13:24

Please will you let me know where your posting your opening so I can see what you get each day I’d love this one but unfortunately I can’t justify this year x

Twinsandsome · 20/11/2023 13:26

This was for @SwordBilledHummingbird

CinnamonCoffee · 20/11/2023 15:41

The online M&S advent should be starting soon. It's so bad though it's actually funny

BakeOffRewatch · 20/11/2023 15:56

Anyone else checking for a vogue discount soon?

QueefofSheena · 20/11/2023 15:56

I noticed that M&S are promising an actual gift this time, like wine, sweets or money off. Makes a nice change from the shitty ticket discounts 😁

Doubleraspberry · 20/11/2023 16:02

The Sparks card advent is brilliant. £3.50 off a purple sofa (in store only) - bring it on.

QueefofSheena · 20/11/2023 16:04

I keep trying the Penhaligons card game in the hope of getting a sample of Terrible Teddy. DH has a sample bottle already and I love it on him, but it’s over £200 for a modest bottle. I’m not sure he loves it as much as I do. May try to find a decent dupe.

So presumably if you want a purple and pink sofa, you would only get £1.75 off?

Ha, no, you get NOTHING.

The year of Gary Ballow is going to be hard to beat! GrinGrin

loz12345 · 20/11/2023 17:15

My sparks card currently has offers for 15% off menswear and men’s grooming no idea why as they have my gender and I have never bought any men’s products - can’t wait for advent 😂

Possimpible · 20/11/2023 17:22

I finally used a Sparks offer last week - I got 20% off a new Christmas tree, which we actually were on the lookout for!

Doubleraspberry · 20/11/2023 17:36

Ooh, I just looked and I currently have 15% off make up.

AprilLady · 20/11/2023 17:37

Those looking at the LIB advent on Tik Tok - it’s currently offering it to me (with discounts) at £79! Worth having a look

I don't know. I started a thread a few weeks ago when they offered me a free paper bag. I collected it, just in case I was missing something and it was somehow special.

Nope. It was a paper bag, just like the ones primark and the like give out. Although it did have an image of a cabbage leaf masquerading as a map of Ireland on it.

Couperi · 20/11/2023 18:15

It shows as £122 for me and I can't get any vouchers to pop up

Lilothblos · 20/11/2023 18:22

@Couperi I’m having the same problem, I eventually got a £5 off voucher but I don’t want to buy it for that much if others are getting it for £79!

YesItIsNovemberAndMyChristmasTreeIsUp · 20/11/2023 18:28

I've just downloaded the tik tok app to see the lib calendar but it's very confusing. How do you find it?

Couperi · 20/11/2023 18:29

It's suddenly added a code bringing it down to £98 but I want it for £79!

DreamItDoIt · 20/11/2023 18:33

Same as yes, I can't even see the Liberty advent calendar in the shop! Any tips anyone?

diamondsandrose · 20/11/2023 18:33

I'm seeing it at £122.50 , it says take 20% off , but a maximum saving of £8 which is a bit of a con as that should be £24 !

So sitting at £115.50
