🎅 Happy advent season everyone! 🎁
Here's hoping for lots more spoilers, bargains, discount codes, and maybe a little self-control (although that's already gone for some 😄)

I hope I’ve captured everything 🩷

I want your version. Mine told me I may be an adult with adult money but I need to get a grip 😱😂

It’s available now, here’s the contents.

Just thought I'd post to say John Lewis fragrance calendar is available to purchase now..

https://www.johnlewis.com/john-lewis-fragrance-advent-calendar/p115661227?s_ppc=2dx2492713618962_mixed_fashion_BAU&tmad=c&tmcampid=2&gclsrc=aw.ds&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=24079342969&gclid=Cj0KCQjw79nUBhCgARIsADSHka1SHaqIi1IbDX_54jGfggaPkxKpyWc339htwpCJzI_G52w2XOu-1f4aAkT-EALw_wcB

A 15ml body scrub listed as full size is quite the stretch 🤣

Some nice products in there though.

I heard they will drop in the stores on the 12th. No idea why!

@AlPaccacino thank you !! Just ordered ! It was meant to be 21 Sept . I could have missed out and it’s the only one I really wanted . Why do they do this ?!!
Again , huge thanks 🤩

Got both LF and JL frag and it's not even 8.30 yet!

@RareGoldBird Thank you - I’ve just ordered the fragrance calendar and was able to use a 5% off reward.

im very tempted by the Liberty men’s calendar. I’ve been very restrained so far and have only ordered Harrods FAC until today…..

Im really glad to hear your Dad’s surgery went well, @JoRaRaRaand thst you were able to enjoy your weekend away

Oh dear - I don’t like the men’s calendar from Liberty at all - it’s even worse than the women’s for me - oh well 😿

Selfridges BAC is available to purchase now, I've just bought it.

The skincare one was brilliant last year. Not very exciting perhaps but a great way to stock up on basics (because obviously none of us on this thread already have overflowing stocks). I think I’m going to get it. Annoyingly I’ve spent most of my boots points already as I bought sunglasses earlier in the year but I still have £10 worth to use towards it. Just debating whether to hang on as last year I got it reduced…

Just purchased LF frag as my Christmas present from DH. Was a bit disappointed to see it was £128 when the email I received a week or so ago, said it would be £102. I’ve also just bought boots frag for eldest who’s suddenly decided she also wants to get into calendars this year after unboxing Yepoda with me. Apparently that one is ours now 😂. I was thinking of either looking to get Selfridges or Cult today. But I’m just not sure if I can justify the money. I’ve already bought Yepoda and GB for now and I’ll get PURESEOUL if I can. I could also get LF bac for £92 which seems like it could be a better option.

Hmm I was holding out for this one but playing cards and socks plus 7 fragrances? Not for me sadly!

ETA although Zephirine was the fragrance I loved from Liberty last year so hoping I can grab one from Vinted!

@RareGoldBird thank you,that was really sneaky of JL ,its not even showing in my beauty rewards section.anyway collection tommorow from my post office. Time.tonfind hiding places.

I thought you couldn't use points towards part payment as points has to cover the full cost of your basket.

Anyone got a link to the liberty mens thry wouldn't mind posting please?

@RareGoldBird Thank you so much, I've ordered the JL FAC, and used a £10 off skincare reward against it 😊

@IDontHateRainbows this should be the link for the men's https://www.libertylondon.com/uk/mens-advent-calendar-2026-000868561.html?utm_source=libertystatic&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=260901-WK31-TBD-BAC-Launch-Early&S2REF=7770022295&mi_u=7e7091a25ff0a63216fec9eb157d205a&mi_ecmp=260901-WK31-TBD-BAC-Launch-Early
Sorry it's so long, I don't know how to shrink it!

@IDontHateRainbows
here you go Liberty Mens Calendar

Didnt last long, ordered LF BAC. JL FAC, would also be tempting but holding out for SNK FAC.

I snapped up the OK! Beauty Box this morning. £89 is about the right price point for me, as I'm not a high-end person... "medium-end", maybe. 😅

I glanced briefly at the spoilers, and they all look good, so I'm keeping the mystery for the rest of the calendar, and will open 1st December onwards (am I the only person who actually does this?).

If money were no object, the one tempting me the most would be Harrods. Maybe next year.

@snackcident - how old is your Dd? I was going to order the Boots FAC for mine (19) but AI is telling me the LF is a better buy for her age ?? Dilemmas 🤣

Thanks, that's only linking to the normal one - maybe I need the special email! I am a BD member so hope it is oin its way

Thank you, purchased JL fragrance & Boots Luxe. Excited! 🥳
