[Stoic123]

Or will you start opening in November?

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

Continuing the thread.

My Degustabox calendar has just arrived to go with my m & s one .

I noticed that space nk has been selling on eBay for £350 plus since it sold out! Space nk was available for ages, people are strange.

I find it bizarre that people would wait so long to buy, and then decide that they want it so much that they're willing to pay £150 above retail!

I wonder if they are buyers who can't purchase it in their country.

@FinallyFinalGirl Potentially, although I think that Space NK is one of the few that ships internationally. Maybe not to every country though.

Thank you @Ilikeyoursleeves for the nail polish link, I ordered for teenage niece… then 3 minutes later, went and ordered one for myself 😳

I have also had delivered 3 of the M&S ones. I always get these - for my sister and a friend, and then of course the other one is for myself.
I’m very tempted by the L’Occitane one too (for me and my sister).

Does anyone know exactly what is in the Degusta box this year please as I would like to know exactly what is in it as would like to send one to DS at Uni if I think he will like it .

I couldn't find details. Two years ago it was great, things like fancy mustard and bags of snacks, pot of great sea salt. Last year I was disappointed as it was a lot of vegan chocolate which I am not a fan of. Also gravy mayo??!!

Still bought it again this year tho!

Was also wondering this as cost of it would cover almost a weekly shop for my uni DS so not sure if there’s a more practical alternative AC. Probably a vodka one actually!!

@kerstina the booklet is by qr code this year , I will try to attach, but please don’t post the contents as I would like mine to be a surprise x

I bought it for DH two years ago and he loved it. The sea salt was his favourite item. Didn't get it last year and was relieved as he doesn't like chocolate. Got it for him this year again so hoping they listened to feedback and ditched some of the choc.

Degusta box sent an email yesterday with contents

Thank you so much ! Sounds good . I had just watched a German you tube unboxing but it is different to the one linked .

My daughter loved the vegan chocolate last year (she's not vegan).

That’s terrible about the Sephora calendar. I hope they’re helpful and sort it quickly for you.

I had never heard of the Degusta box. I am now wondering if I should get one for DH 🤣

This thread is dangerous

Degustabox looks good, I know PP asked for no spoilers so I won't, but I'd be happy with those contents.

What a shame about Sephora. Sounds like someone has taken the bits they want and returned for a refund. People can be awful.

@MidnightMeltdown I don't use eBay, are people actually paying £350 or is that what sellers are asking for? I wonder if part of it is FOMO too - it was the first (and only so far?) calendar to sell out so people will find it more desirable maybe

The degusta does look good.
I've never purchased before does it go lower than £38? Or is now the time to buy?

My Degusta got delivered this morning and it came with a booklet that tells you the contents and ingredients etc. my husband threw it away so I wouldn’t peek!! So I still have no idea what’s in it

@Possimpible

You can look at sold items on eBay - people are actually paying that. Some are bidding up to £375! I think that it probably is FOMO as they weren't selling at that price before they sold out on Space NK - in fact some were selling below the retail price. Humans are funny creatures 😂

Anyone interested in flannels perfume crackers or the advent cracker. The code FF20 is now working for these so you can get 20% off . The only negative is the postage is quite steep for flannels at £6.99

I'm really annoyed - I thought the postage costs was extortionate and phoned my local branch of Flannels on Thursday to ask if they would be getting the crackers in store. The woman I spoke to said she wasn't sure because such a high proportion has already been sold in presales. So I caved in and ordered it. 😡

I have somehow just bought the Degusto advent calendar for DH

😳🤣🙈

Good grief the Degusta is enormous. I must have forgotten how imposing it was last year 😂

The nail varnish AC is a lovely little addition. I might get another for my sister.

We bought our student offspring Degusta last year and they tried to persuade us they needed a lift home for Christmas rather than the train simply because of the size of it.

Degusto looks v good - think I’ll order.
