Final one before the opening threads. Who is starting the opening threads and for which ones? Please share the links below. There’ll be Waifs and Strays one, DIY, and possibly Harrods, Space NK, Liberty?

On 1st December, the opening threads start, I’ll ask MN to update this post with links.

Re: Advents

I bought the S&G one from Boots today for £24. I am not a huge fan of the brand, (I don’t like the name or packaging, which I realise is ridiculous!) However, it works out at £1 per door, so a real bargain and it gives me a chance to try new stuff very cheaply.

I am debating whether to keep it for next year or use it for Jadvent!

Nope not ridiculous, I get it. I often have decent S&G offers on my Advantage card but I've never tried any of the range because something about the name really puts me off! 😵‍💫😆

Meant to add I'd save a bargain calendar for January, something to cheer up a quiet month.

MrsBnow12 · 10/12/2025 22:27

Can I ask what advents are still around for Jadvent, I had ordered Debenhams and it’s now been cancelled so need to find another.

Imperfect Boots 24 day for £130. All products there but not all outer packaging - whatever that means.

IlovePond · 11/12/2025 08:11

I noticed that @OvaHere - I thought the price was a bit cheeky as perfect ones had been available for 20% off a couple of weeks ago.

Not in the same league as Debenhams and other a/cs, @MrsBnow12 but I picked up the Soap and Glory one for £24 in Boots yesterday and there are a few Ted Baker ones knocking around in-store too.

The Just My Look one seems to still be around too.

Has anyone ordered from them and are they a reputable company? Any codes available? Thanks

JoRaRaRa · 11/12/2025 09:20

@IlovePond i keep looking at the just my look one. It did have £3 off it for BF but has gone back to full price. I'm not sure why I'm eager to get another 🤣 I guess we're all just obsessed 💁🏻‍♀️ I keep looking at the Next premium one too. I'm wondering if that'll go in the boxing day sale 🤔

Twinsandsome · 11/12/2025 10:27

does anyone remember if space or liberty did a GWP at all over the next week or two? I want to get a couple of Diptyque candles for over Christmas but because they are normally excluded from discounts I would hold off for a GWP if anyone thought one was to come anytime soon x

Liberty sent an email out this morning for a free Sapin candle with £120 Diptyque spend. I think it's only a mini one though.

Not sure whether to expect a general gwp. I feel one from SNK is more likely but also think they could leave it to Jan to try and get everyone to spend when they've had enough of spending. 😄

IlovePond · 11/12/2025 10:42

I still sort of regret not getting GlossyBox @JoRaRaRa - I really like some of the things in JML, but not at that price!

JoRaRaRa · 11/12/2025 11:36

Harrods 12 day Hair and Body calendar is back in stock 💚

SpaceNk fragrance calendar now has 25% off, making it now £120 🤑

I really regret not getting the Kiko one 😭

Peridot1 · 11/12/2025 11:46

I’m toying with the Clarins 12 day one. But I definitely didn’t need it.

IlovePond · 11/12/2025 11:50

The one I really regret letting get away was the LF fragrance.

I am tempted by SpaceNK but don’t know what any of them smell like and daren’t take a chance at that price as it’s quite likely I would dislike all of them 😿

And don't forget, they're hazardous.

I was waiting for the 25% off to buy but it's only an extra €2.80 off what I paid so I'm not too traumatised by missing the extra discount 😁

IlovePond · 11/12/2025 13:07

😹 @OchonAgusOchonOh has your parcel arrived yet?

LetitSnowball · 11/12/2025 13:23

Re Vinted-gate, I have photos of the bag label and lots of how it looked before I sent it so have given them to Vinted. 🤞🏻I’ll let you know what they say.

To cheer myself up I ordered the Space NK fragrance AC. I had some points and a voucher so got it for £96. I don’t feel too guilty about it as I’ve never had a fragrance AC before.

It hasn't shipped yet, never mind arrived.

It's not the best curated set they've done but for £96 it's pretty good. Hope you enjoy it and get some resolution from Vinted.

25% off Spacenk advent again. Now £120

Caggie09 · 11/12/2025 18:13

Ohh, i am tempted by SNK at £120. I might have to sleep on it🤣

Hicupping · 11/12/2025 18:26

@Caggie09 double points tomorrow so you've got an excuse.
