ive just got a notification that my BT calendar is being delivered today to my sisters house (woohoo) …fingers crossed for those using the postal forward service …
that’s my third advent this year (HBAC, HFAC , and now BT) …. I have been very restrained this year …am hoping for the selfridges FAC next week but if i miss out on that …i may wait for Black friday deals ….my sister has now 9 advents (10 but she claims the 10th is a present ) …πŸ€ͺ

beautyandthebird · 02/10/2026 08:09

Hi, I'm a long time semi lurker, lover of BAC and FAC (and beauty boxes and edits!). I've bought JL (had vouchers, a bit meh), Liberty (beauty drop, saving for Dec), and managed to bag the HFAC. Had a bit of a tricky year so have also treated myself to Vogue. Why am I now thinking about Elle?!?! Surely I should be done? Does anyone know if Elle might be discounted - clearly I could justify it if so 🫣

The Elle one is really good 😍

pinkchampagne1 · 02/10/2026 08:15

I really like the Elle calendar this year. I am not sure if it will be further discounted as I imagine it might sell out. I think you can still order it with a Β£10 discount

I doubt that the Harvey Nicks advents were made ahead of time and are sitting something but there is no way to know. I feel there are a lot of brands that don't want to hear from them as they won't get the money they are owed. It's hard to see how a company will be happy to see their creation in value box, while they can not get their money back - they will demand getting the stock instead, if the products were not already provided.

I emailed SpaceNK asking if there will be fragrance advent. Do the same - it will be good to let them know we will miss it

They had to discount it last year to get rid of it so maybe they decided it wasn’t worth doing?

It's a shame they don't think to just do less πŸ€”πŸ€­ I'm glad CB are doing a fragrance edit again this year, I thought they might not as they were practically giving away the fragrance stocking last year 🀣

Re the M and S BAC, does anyone know if you can use your Sparks rewards as part payment ?

Re the M and S BAC, does anyone know if you can use your Sparks rewards as part payment ?

I don't see why not - AFAIK, M+S treats reward Β£ as if it is an M+S gift card ie as a money equivalent.

IDontKnowWhatYouMean · 02/10/2026 08:40

The GlossyBox BAC in my TikTok basket (from their official TT shop) is now showing as sold out.
Still available on their own website though.

I've being eyeing the Missoma one. It's nearly half the price of last year's that were Β£495 (not the solid gold). They've reduced the number of items and made it a better price point.

I like the necklace and earrings but I'm not much of a bracelet wearer. I bought some nice pieces in their BF sale last year so I feel like I'd be better doing that again instead. Although I do like the nice jewellery box.

I love the Missoma one too, esp the solid gold one, and the box is gorgeous but only 6 pieces. The Astley Clarke one is nice too. Wonder if Liberty will do a jewellery advent this year, I had the reduced one in my basket for months but couldn’t justify even the reduced cost!!

Just got an email offering it at Β£176. Was Β£187 when I bought.

Ooo! I'd buy at this price! Mine still says Β£197...

I just had an email from them but still offering it at Β£197.

Twinsandsome · 02/10/2026 09:54

I’ve just received my BT advent and honestly I have to say the quality, weight and size is amazing. I’ve went through each drawer and not looked too closely to make sure everything is there, but I feel everyday is really going to feel like a treat. I am in love with it and can’t wait to December and the opening thread xxx

SoloCat · 01/10/2026 21:13

But I’m jealous of the gorgeous BT you all have ordered @OvaHere @JoRaRaRa @BeanNaGealai I’m just too much of a scaredy cat to have gone through the delivery process, mine would have ended up in Timbuktu 😬 Or with the guy who had my DH trousers on!

🀣🀣🀣🀣 this made me nearly spit my tea out 🀣🀣🀣🀣
Needed a laugh. Thank you 🀣β™₯️

When I read about the pants fiasco I thought some people are just unbelievable 😳
And blatant with it.

Donsyb · 02/10/2026 11:01

Soooooo….. Life in Beauty have just emailed to say they’ve sent me a second men’s advent calendar. So what do I do? Do I tell them I didn’t receive the first one in the end?

I'm thinking say nothing and donate the second one? Or is that bad of me? They have already dispatched it.

beautyandthebird · 02/10/2026 11:04

It worked!! πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰

Thanks so much!

I would tell them. Bad karma not to, and chances are they won't ask you to return it anyway. (It's Latest in Beauty btw!).

I’d be the biggest hypocrite on here if I were to make a suggestion on what you should do with it πŸ˜‚. I appreciate your dilemma though.

It is possible the delivery company might filter back that they managed to deliver in the end, and then you might be asked to return or be charged again.

hattie43 · 02/10/2026 11:31

Has anyone ever known Harrods discount their calendars . I’ve ordered the HHFAC for a friends Christmas gift and the more I look at it the more I want one for myself . I love home fragrance and this looks really special . I can imagine getting the box out every year and filling it with my own things next year .

NC543210 · 02/10/2026 11:40

I am definitely going to go for the BT one next year. I have family in Ireland so they could potentially send it to me.
Excited for you all.

I have the SNK in my basket after saying a million times that I won't bother. Major fomo as decided to go without this year.

Donsyb · 02/10/2026 11:40

Thanks all, I have emailed to say it was delivered

mrspk · 02/10/2026 11:42

Ooh I'm tempted with Elle at that price too. Facebook ads are telling me it's expected to sell out soon. Just ordered the QVC Gatineau set so really shouldn't....
