New thread. Welcome oldies and newbies.

I'm expecting this thread to be busy as we head towards both advents and autumn releases.

There's a dedicated advent thread for advent calendars here to keep up to date with reveals, waitlists etc.

Can anyone tell what size the Sisley black rose cream is in that half price set? If it's 50ml I'll snap it up but I can't see it listed anywhere. I may still get it if it's 30ml but it isn't quite as attractive as I've just bought a FS mask and I'm not as bothered about the body cream.

I'm sure it wasn't in the sale yesterday because black rose is my new favourite and I was checking if it was included.

Thanks for the heads up. I bought four of the SNK Shimmering Spice Candles. Useful to have as gifts and around the house at Christmas!

Which slip pillowcase did you go for @OvaHere ?

SheilaFentiman · 13/08/2026 13:05

I do wish SNK would list sizes for items in sets!

The pink one as it was 50% off. I wasn't too fussed on what colour. If I like it I might buy some plain ones or ones that match better with my room.

Thank you @OvaHere and @Beautyfox , that's an amazing deal then and I will take it!

Glad I did a separate order yesterday because I actively don't want the GWP - nothing in it that I want, no space to store it and I can't be doing with selling things 😆

I purchased just married ones from the HN sale just after Christmas to just try them. My DH of 30 years thinks it’s hilarious. I love them. If you’ve not had them before I would highly recommend washing them on a wool wash in your machine and using woolite detergent. I’ve had them 8months now and they are still like new.

Just noticed a typo on my earlier post: The hand/nail gift crackers at TWC are £13 reduced, (not £23 🙈)

Caggie09 · 13/08/2026 13:17

I was tempted before to order the Slip pillowcase, i ordered the scrunchies earlier. May have to place another order🫣

I bravely resisted the SNK sale after filling a basket … and then I bought two Radley bags at about 2.30 a.m. 😳

LemonJuiceFromConcentrate · 13/08/2026 14:28

And now that you’re all saying the sale has been made better — no, no, I mustn’t, ahhhh

I feel like a good bad influence. 😂😂😂 I’m pretty sure these weren’t there yesterday. It’s quite annoying when they do this although I suppose it works because I’ve now placed 4 orders which there is no way I would have placed in one go.

I now have 4 gwp’s. I can never be bothered to sell but I’m sure I will use most of it eventually. 🙈 not quite sure about star shaped spot sticker though! 😂

Well I’ve just gone down the rabbit hole and here I am down 220 quid but up a bday present and a Christmas present so not to shabby . I like the GWP . So if anyone wants to sell theirs to me @OvaHere @Beautyfox Just drop me a message . I have no idea how to do that 😂 . 🩷🙂

☺️ I’m actually so interested to see what they’re like. I haven’t been a huge Radley buyer over the years, often felt they had one thing I loved amongst 100 others that weren’t my style — but they’ve been around long enough that it feels like a little bit of a fashion/business history moment worth marking, given the prices. Also I genuinely do like the look of the ones I bought! (Small crossbody type things)

I now have two SNK GWPs which I totally didn't NEED but I got sucked into the candle options. Plus I think their advent is pretty poor, so I'm justifying it as spending the same money but on things I'll actually use. Especially as DH is currently burning through all my travel sizes having caught the sun on holiday - I've created a monster, he'd never heard of serum before...

I keep going back to the sale for a sneaky look. I need to stay away.

I just ordered some Christmas candles, not enough for the gwp but enough for the keyring charm thing. After going mad on Dior last week, I need to ease off on the spending 😳

I found the DS Durga Sunshine Set half price. Very happy as thought it had sold out.

I went back to look at candles but things kept selling out as I was debating whether a 3rd order in 2 days was a bit much. I've closed the tab and walked away for now.

@JoRaRaRa was it the green dior palette you bought? Have you tried it yet?

I just bought the snk Christmas ones. I thought that I'll probably buy candles anyway so I might as well get a few now. I also bought some last year and they smelt really nice.

I bought both of them, I've not tried either yet. Hoping to try out the green this weekend.

I wanted the pine one but it sold out. Probably for the best as I would have added other stuff to the basket too.
