🎄 2025 Style and Beauty Advent Calendar Discussion ***SPOILERS*** THREAD 8

[BakeOffRewatch]

New thread!

Yes, I'd be keeping an eye on BF or the end of the month.

Tempted by this, I wonder if this will be another discount year? Seems like lots still in stock to me. Not sure whether to go for this to combine with my GB or wait it out....

They've lost my sodding parcel and won't send a replacement until Royal Mail complete their investigation or something - I'm not happy as I got it with the 25% off

That's rubbish. Hopefully you will get it sorted soon.

Hoping they discount it for all so I can buy it again and get refund on the first one. Really they should cancel and re send it. We've all seen how easy it is for retailers to cancel already-sent orders from the perfume society debacle

@Brightermornings Congratulations on the new job 🥳 and enjoy your well deserved advent calendar 🤗

That seems like a lot. I haven’t seen any unboxings on YouTube so I don’t think it’s been very popular this year. A couple of years ago I got it half price after Christmas.

I've watched a few. I bought the calendar as soon as it was released and like hearing other people's opinions on the fragrances. If it gets reduced, I'll definitely be picking up another 😊

OK, half price and I would be on it. I agree that it's a lot to shift in under a month. I imagine the stats for sales are kept under wraps but I'd expect a run of sales at first and also right near the end. Isn't there some stat about how a large amount of yearly perfume sales take place on Christmas Eve (by men...)?

It’s 12 days, so for the 12 days between 25th December and 5th January, so they have more than a month and the busiest time of gift buying in December to sell it. I keep seeing more and more positive reviews about the Harvey Nichols fragrance calendar so it might snowball to good sales.

I'm looking to buy the No7 luxury calendar this yr but I see it says "stock coming soon". Has it sold out and will there be more to come?!

Not sure. I feel like they had an offer on it around a week ago, maybe as one of their star gifts. If so they probably sold out then. Boots website always says stock coming soon on things sold out but it's hit and miss whether they come back.

Check your local Boots store as they had them in the Canterbury Boots at the weekend

Ok I do have one near me so will try and pop in on my lunch break :)

@Hungrycaterpillarsmummy I think boots have a stock checker you could use to find it in store

Need? Need? What is wrong with the man? Need doesn’t come into it.

@Brightermorningsjust catching up and what brilliant news for you. Congratulations!

@IDontKnowWhatYouMean What good fortune, it is a great purchase ans even better with a goodie bag.

20% off both Boots calendars with SAVE20

@IDontKnowWhatYouMean we need to see the goody bag !
@Brightermornings congratulations and enjoy!

Congratulations @Brightermornings
In non-BAC news, DD now has four ACs: I bought her a Pokémon cards one and one from Hotel Chocolat, then another Hotel Chocolat AC and a Lego Minecraft one turned up from XH.

Congratulations Brightermornings🥳

congrats!!!@Brightermornings

I just want to say how much I love the friendliness of these threads - they are my little sanctuary away from other corners of MN 😘

Such great news @Brightermornings! Congratulations and enjoy the AC!

@keepincool. I totally agree with you. It’s so nice to be able to talk about things like this with no judgement or nasty comments. It’s a sanctuary for me too.

I realised the extent of my addiction when I was looking at the TKMaxx website at 2 am this morning and found myself adding a cat toy advent calendar to my basket for my Wilfred 😆😆

@Growlybear83 i love the name Wilfred! So cute for a cat! 🐈‍⬛. My cat would look in bemusement at a toy calendar 🤣
