I popped into my local Space NK to chase up my missing frag advent today - apparently anything ordered over the black Friday weekend is 'stuck' at the warehouse, but should all be on the move tomorrow. I'm not entirely sure I believe them!

@IlovePond 😂😂

I have 2 dogs. The terrier is very barky if anyone comes near the house but once they're in, they're obviously safe and welcome and should be treated as such. The other one only cares if you are carrying treats. And if you're not, she just gives you the sad side eye.

this looks good.. if anyone has any money left!

I got £10 off as well , tho not sure why / how!

I ordered mine on Cyber Monday and it arrived this morning with a large Dangerous Goods sticker affixed to it. I've checked it and it's all there.

Hopefully yours will get there soon.

Glad it’s arrived @OchonAgusOchonOh!

My SNK fragrance AC arrived today too.

Unfortunately the DedCool has leaked a fair bit. It smells nice at least and there’s some left so I’m glad it wasn’t one of the smaller ones.

It’s a very pretty calendar. I think it makes such a difference when it looks festive 🎄

Ive not checked my space nk fragrance or hn fragrance calendars 🙄🤣

That's a shame. Get on to CS. They should send you a replacement for the perfume at least.

I would advise checking. Someone up thread (sorry, can't remember who) said there was a perfume missing in their SpaceNK one and I had two perfumes that were half empty in last year's HN one. If there is a problem you're better getting on to them ASAP.

About time @OchonAgusOchonOh! I hope you enjoy it very much!

Thank you. I'm looking forward to it.

Yay @OchonAgusOchonOh! So glad it eventually got to you.

@OchonAgusOchonOh Im so glad your calendar has finally arrived! I’m sure you will enjoy it even more after all the aggravation of getting it.

SNK fragrannce advent still £120 with £20 off £100 spend too. £5 voucher with £85 spend at vouchercodes plus £2.50 vIP and free CEO serum sample.

Edit take it back £20 code doesn't work, full price only. sorry can't edit.

@Hicupping I got the email and went straight to the website. Shame it doesnt work on it. Its not shifting so just let us have the discount🥲

Well I made a massive mistake in one of my choices!

I bought a Baies which is my all time favourite and then a Narguile as I kept hmming and haaing between it and feu de bois as I loved boy smells ash which is discontinued so opted for narguile as I thought it sounded slightly less Smokey then got 2 of the pomander 1 for me and 1 for a gift, this was all online.

End up unexpectedly in my local space nk yesterday and they only had a couple on display to smell but honestly they must have been out for years because they had a feu de bois and I felt it smelt nice and warm so impulse bought it and a second Baies. Got home and lit the feu de bois and it is not for me at all!! It is soooo strong and the wax is grey whereas in my space store it had actually started to turn blue which makes me think that one has been on display years and why it wasn’t anywhere close to been this strong. I will see if any of my sisters want it and if not might try sticking it on eBay or vinted for £25/30 to see if anyone would take it but I’m not sure as I did light it.

my online order is being delivered today so hoping I can smell the narguile without opening it to see if it’s worth opening or not x

Oh no! What a shame. Im sure you will be able to sell it. I personally LOVE feu de Bois. Maybe it will grow on you?

No it def won’t grow on me I need it out of my house it smells like smoked bacon to me 😂 I really hope Narguile gives me that boys smells ash scent when it arrives as boy smells ash was my all time favourite ever candle. X

Yay my Space NK frag calendar has arrived and intact! However my free item was not in the parcel. Has anyone who ordered on the Cyber Monday deal got everything or does the freebie come separately? (from memory it was an offer using code 'treat')

I didn't get anything with mine. I don't know if I used a code though. They should just add things rather than having to use a code.

Glad yours has arrived.

Although I do recall it saying I could choose free samples at checkout and nothing coming up at checkout.

I ordered on Cyber Monday, and i had 2 extra things as freebies and they arrived in the same order.

@Twinsandsome I love narguile! I’ve got a feu de Bois that remains unlit. I got a 70g one in a Liberty gwp. I want to like it but I just can’t! I’d rather go and light my woodburner and sniff that 😆. I wasn’t a fan of ambre either and that was raved about. I absolutely love pomander and when I’ve finished up my Sapin candles I will revert to that again next winter.

I'll buy everyone's Feu du bois, I love it! But I do like a smoky scent.
