[virgocatlover]

Only a few days to go until the doors open.

Please share thoughts, discussions and any last minute discounts!

Yes I definitely will ! It's my Christmas present from my husband. I've never we had such an expensive one. I get I like everything then google the price and realise I'll need to make it last ! But that's the fun isn't it , trying exciting new things

That's lovely @diamondsandrose

I have it too for the first time ☺️

I've got Liberty @Pootle40
Its my first time too

So that's 5 of us so far

Edited: spelling

After having a few luxury ACs last year, I’ve been very sensible this year and just have the H&B (and defuses for the house). I’ve been really enjoying the edits, boxes and crackers too.

I wondered if my H had got me another AC after I asked him to check a couple of stores for stock near his work a while back. He said they didn’t have anything but in a shifty way. Although I likely would have sniffed it out by now so I’m probably way off.

Fortnum’s anyone?

Happy to join the waifs though.

I have Devon Wicks wax melt one which I am looking forward to, and the huge Boots chunky one. Funsies

I've got last year's Penhaligon's AC as well as my Liberty and the L'occitane calendar thst I've just rediscovered. I think a couple of other people might have bought the Penhaligon's as well?

@BakeOffRewatch @Growlybear83 et al, I've got Liberty too! (As well as a bunch of others)

I had planned on getting Liberty but refused to pay the brexit tax so I'm really looking forward to seeing all of the daily posts on it.

I have Harrods fragrance but will be working away for a lot of advent so opening sporadically. Look forward to reading all the threads

I have Liberty too, as well as Harrods Fragrance and the JL home fragrance.
Also chocolate and 2 that I am sharing with my DS.
My friends are all invested in my calendars so I may have to do a Sunday morning opening video for them 😄

I have a few but am going to start with Look fantastic. I did watch an unboxing before I purchased it but as I have a memory like a sieve I've forgotten what's in it and am very much looking forward to Sunday.

I have Space NK. I have completely forgotten what’s in it, bar 3 or so items, so it will be a lovely surprise.

I have H&B and no others! I’ve been very restrained this year. I have managed to forget most of the contents as I love it being a surprise. I’m looking forward to chatting on an opening thread if there are enough of us.

I have the Boots premium and Harrods fragrance. Going to open Harrods every other day. I don't unseal though unless I'm intending to use that day. Like to keep them all dark and cool.

Still have a couple sealed from last year as I may have gone overboard on sets like the Liberty scent kits. Ooops.

I have Liberty too. But it looks too lovely to actually open 😜

Are people opening the Harrods and HN calendars from the 1st? As they are 12 days of Christmas calendars, I've started mine on Xmas day in previous years.

My plan is to open from Christmas day to little Christmas.

I’ve got JL. DD has got a Taylor Swift themed plastic tat calendar and DP has a Dairy Milk one. Mine was considerably more expensive than theirs 😆

Cost is all relative.

Will they love theirs? If yes, they're worth just as much as yours.

Not here beauty one but I got the feasting one when it dropped to £150. Looking forwards to some treats to fancy up the inevitable beans on toast in January!

Love that they're adventing vicariously through you!

I also have Harrods fragrance and JL home fragrance. In fact this year I've completely lost the plot as was going through a difficult time in September and October and have ended up with Look Fantastic, ASOS, Anthropologie, Lumene and Space NK fragrance!

There was a week in October when I couldn't move for birthday discount codes and it just spurred me on to greater advent lunacy. My husband is looking forward to all the more male leaning fragrances I don't want, and my preteen boy is eagerly awaiting any that bypass his father.

I do have a box lined up for everything else I don't want, so it can go straight to a gift drive we're doing at work, but I probably need to give some serious consideration to either pushing some out to Jadvent or packing away.

Obviously there are worse problems to have...

I've been sorting my bridal beauty box and DH is refilling vogue from last year for my advent, so will be almost a complete surprise!

I have Asos so that will be waifs & strays!
