I wonder when we will start seeing some discounts.🤔 Seems lots of calendars are still available this year

ElizabethG81 · 02/11/2025 10:28

I’d still love a code if anyone has one.

pinkchampagne1 · 02/11/2025 10:37

Those who are ordering the HN advent, if you also go through TCB they are offering 10% cashback on both calendars atm.

Doglover73 · 02/11/2025 11:04

Id love a hn code if anyone has one. Thank you x

@IDontHateRainbowsI have received a 25% off code if you still need one?

Has this been used? Long shot I know. 🤣

I've finally given in and ordered an advent calender after years of looking longingly at them. I'm starting low with the Gruum calendar at £50 including a silk pillowcase which will find it's way to being a raffle prize it a Christmas present!

Ive ordered the grum mainly for my dd. Had it last year. Good value x

Skibunnygal · 02/11/2025 11:21

Does Gruum has a silk pillow case in it!? Thats good value!

Doglover73 · 02/11/2025 11:38

shinny · 02/11/2025 09:36

Does anyone still need HN code?

They’re nuts cos theyve sent it to me after the mess when I bought BAC & saw fat discounts, so asked for one, was rudely told no so sent it back. There’s no CS planning on these totally random discounts!!

Please if available x

Doglover73 · 02/11/2025 11:38

Please if available x

Ive just seen that someone's already asked x

Doglover73 · 02/11/2025 11:40

Can you tell I've got fomo now 🙄🤣

Sorry I’ve sent it to someone already

I’d be quite interested in that calendar as I need a new silk pillowcase anyway. They don’t say yet what is in it though, other than 3 items, or have you seen the contents somewhere?

No, I can't find any info or a content list from last year. So I've gone in a bit blind but the reviews from last year are really positive and there are lots of their products I like the look of and if they are full sized products as it says then it looks like good value. Fingers crossed!

Yes, it was in an email I got, it then doesn't mention it on the app or the website with the advent calendar but it puts it in the basket as a freebie if you add the calendar.

Just had a look - it's a polyester satin pillowcase, not silk.

I had their calendar last year. I really liked it but like pretty much all single brand calendars, it felt a bit samey at times. Definitely good value with all full sizes. They don't release the contents in advance so you're buying blind but at that price it's worth a punt if you think you'll like their products.

Ahh sorry to mislead re the pillowcase, it wasn't a benefit to me so I didn't pay much attention to it.

I’m still waiting for the 12 day Harrods calendar to come back in stock ☹️ I like it because it’s just skincare and hair. Anyone got recommendations for a 12 day one. I’d prefer skincare.

What about the 12 day Elemis advent? I think it is exclusive to John Lewis

If you are not looking for high end skincare the Boots skincare is good value with a number of full size products and K-beauty items in it.

pinkchampagne1 · 02/11/2025 16:25

After saying I am definitely not going for any more calendars, I spotted the Jo Malone one is available at World Duty Free for £296 and my DH gets a 30% discount because he is a driver for Eurotunnel, so it looks like I might be getting it for a Christmas present. Excited! 😁

Addictedtobeauty · 02/11/2025 17:40

Oh wow @pinkchampagne1 that will be a real treat and what a great price if he gets it for less than £210.
Enjoy!

Doglover73 · 02/11/2025 18:21

Still looking for a discount code for hn fragrance advent if anyone's been sent one they won't use. 😊 Tia x

I'm pretty novice at the BAC so would welcome advice. It's gifts for DD and other relatives who are more into beauty than myself. What do you think of this box https://www.debenhams.com/product/debenhams-debenhams-beauty-advent-calendar-2025-worth-over-700_ydd18587?colour=multi

I dont think its great to be honest. I'd hold out and pay a bit more for Sephora.

Try adding it to basket and leaving it there, that's assuming you are signed up for HN email

I have 🤣 had a 10% one but i want a 25% one.
I can't understand why they just dont put the code out there instead of emailing some and not others 🙄🥰
