Sorry, that might’ve been me calling it a mask. It may just be ‘cream’.

Sadteacher · 12/12/2025 07:00

Not quite sure what today’s are!? Sweatbands or scrunchies?

Not a clue either. First one I haven't liked...

You put them on your wrists so when you're washing your face, the water doesn't run all down your arms 😊

brightnails · 12/12/2025 08:37

back in the day I did used to hate tepid water running down my arms as I tried to have a wash had an immersion heater so often had a big wash instead of a shower I wish Penney’s had them then 😳

This made me laugh because I hate water running down my arms so I already have some of these by my bathroom basin. I'll probably give them to my daughter because I have two sets already. But if you have sensory icks then they are great!

Fifiellz · 12/12/2025 09:48

I’m pleased with today’s because I can’t bear washing my face with water purely because of the arms getting wet. I saw an instagrammer using these and thought they were a great idea but hadn’t got round to looking for any!

GumFossil · 12/12/2025 11:29

I opened today’s and said ‘what the fuck?’ 😂

Donating to my son’s gf.

balzamico · 12/12/2025 16:08

Today’s was the first absolute miss for me, I wash my face every morning and evening without the water running up my arms! I did try putting it in my hair but it’s too fat to be a scrunchie!! Gone straight into the charity shop box

alloutofcareunits · 12/12/2025 17:47

I’m so pleased someone explained what today’s are, I thought some kind of luxury sweatbands?! Now I know, I’m really pleased as I had to put my dressing gown on the radiator to dry again after washing my face last night and water running down my arms and into my dressing gown cuffs! 😩

pollydollydoodlealltheway · 12/12/2025 20:39

Has anyone tried today’s yet? Do they actually work?!

Sadteacher · 12/12/2025 20:49

I’m so grateful for everyone explaining how we use things! Is everyone getting the weekly email too, I found it really useful last week explaining everything! If it was a gift you may not get it.

Fleecy · 12/12/2025 21:07

I got last week's email and thought it was a really nice touch, a lovely extra.

IggyAce · 12/12/2025 21:35

A little late to the thread, my lively dh brought me the calendar for our anniversary, he is a good egg.
So far I’m impressed, love espa night cream and leave in conditioner. My dd was happy to take the body spray, it was too sweet for me.

Treviarpelli · 13/12/2025 02:15

I haven’t seen any emails? It’s possible I’ve deleted em without reading but I can’t find them now I’ve had a look.

Twilightstarbright · 13/12/2025 07:42

I’m not impressed with today’s one. I can’t take collagen.

brightnails · 13/12/2025 09:30

I haven’t had any emails. today’s looked good but although I dabble with full makeup it’s more DD’s thing so I’ll save it for her.

@FifiellzToday’s feels nice as I fear I have flu. Wish I could keep it in the fridge! I still look like shit though Grin I love the espa cream tooo @IggyAce

Sadteacher · 13/12/2025 11:28

The email was called Advent Unboxed: 1st Edition
It came on Sunday and doesn’t look much different to the usual advertising emails. Nice to see the prices of the full size ones easily.

I wonder if it only goes to people who bought the calendar. Mine was a present from my lovely DH.

clinellwipe · 13/12/2025 20:38

I bought the calendar myself and I don’t have the email!

Mydadsbirthday · 14/12/2025 11:44

Not impressed with today's either, I can't take large tablets and wouldn't bother for this anyway, the reviews of this product are terrible

Eastie77Returns · 14/12/2025 11:54

Thank god for this thread. I gave DD the ‘sweatbands’ and have taken them back now I know what they are😂

Liking the ESPA cream.

The eyeshadow palette is going to be regifted.
