That’s great @Isabelle70 happy for you 🤩

@Isabelle70 so glad you are finally getting it! I’ve opened 2/3 of mine and absolutely love it.

It's true, I am never going to make my millions on Vinted but I've kept things in past years where my value for them is close to zero, much more efficient to get it out of the door before it goes off.

I just got an email from Space NK to say that dispatch will be delayed by a week or so.

The Harrods calendar now says it is only available in store so maybe it has sold out online. Glad I got in early now.

For Harrods I can see that you can purchase it via a personal shopper. It might be only for my location as the VAT is removed.

I’m hoping that they are just doing stock control after their recent issues. Although I did buy the Space NK one this morning

Saddo that I am, I'm tracking my Space NK AC - it's made its way to my local mail centre so should be out for delivery tomorrow.

It does seem unusual for them to have sold out in September so maybe they will restock 🤔

@Isabelle70 ....thats great news ! so pleased for you !!! Mine arrived the other day and I love it ! ....was dithering over getting the harrods beauty advent calendar too (was torn between space nk and it ) I finally ordered it Wednesday night and it arrived half an hour ago ...!! its fab too ...no duds for me in it ...and some skincare Ive wanted to try for sometime

Hi,

this may have already been posted but seen this on another site.

Escentual 25

It brings L’Occitane down to £51

It also works on Nuxe advent calendar and on CLARINS and other gift sets

Thanks for your comment @JudgeBurrito ! That is a very good point and you're right - I will get a lot of enjoyment from it!

"Boots Advantage Card points expire if the card isn't used for more than a year. This change was made in June 2022 to align with the market.

To avoid losing points, cardholders should shop with their card at least once a year. Accounts are closed if the card isn't used for more than four years. "

I saw this. I am very very tempted. But I have already bought the H&B one, and the Occitane one actually doesn't have that many things I want, I'd be better off just buying products I want. I think it's easy to get carried away and if I end up giving away half the calendar's contents it wasn't really a bargain.

@LyingWitchInTheWardrobe ...I love that list ...Ive been eyeing up jo malaone and diptyque too ...dropping hints to dh for jo malone !!

I hope you get it, Benny12.

I do like the odd Jo Loves fragrance but not as much as the original Jo Malone. The Paddington Orange Marmalade fragrance is really lovely. I don't think it's in the advent calendar but there is Orange Bitters in there as mentioned by PP.

I'm not buying anymore, not this year.

Thanks for the new thread @virgocatlover

Have got the Liberty Advent stashed away.
Now just deciding what to get DD

My Space NK not due for dispatch till 27th now.

@Fancyateapottea

Lancôme usually do an advent.
Though haven't heard anything about if there's a UK one out soon.

I've checked & the advent is available here:

&

Though not sure about UK shipping/costs
Though there's always a shipping forwarding company you could use

Edit: Added last sentence

@TracyBeakerSoYeah Thank you so much for tracking it down for me!!
Really hope they bring it out in the UK 🤞

I’ve got a birthday just before Christmas and have splurged on the Harrods Beauty calendar for that. Then I went slightly crazy and ordered the Liberty one as my Christmas present. And then madness struck reading this thread and I signed up for the waitlist for SpaceNK and couldn’t resist when the 8am email came through. I love, love, love this thread but next year I need to ban myself from reading it! I’ve got JL vouchers but please help me not to buy that too!!

Can we all just talk about the weather or something instead on the day that it launches?

Just seen this on Beauty Detective, it looks quite nice and could be an option for younger people https://www.revolve.com/mobile/revolve-beauty-2024-advent-calendar/dp/RBEA-WU58/?cjdata=MXxZfDB8WXww&d=Womens&AID=13237228&PID=100323451&utmmedium=affiliate&utmmsource=cj&source=cj&utmcampaign=globbp_5447901&cjevent=36f121d0721111ef83f000220a18ba72&size=all&product=undefined

Mine too. I also never got a confirmation email so it's making me nervous I haven't actually ordered it (although it shows in my orders on the site).

I mean, if you’ve got JL vouchers it would be rude not to wouldn’t it? 😁
