Thanks @SoloCat.
Glad today went as well as it could @Nearlyadoctor.
@Beautyfoxsorry to hear you’ve had a tough year, hope things are on the up and I’m sure you’ll get loads of pleasure from your amazing advent stash!! I’m not sure there are many more for you to buy 🀣. Fortnum & Mason for a broader range of things? Or a jewellery one? I’ve often looked at Missoma etc and pondered… otherwise as others have said, the festive edits are normally gorgeous, loved my The glam edit from Liberty last year!!

Was so outraged by SNK I forgot to say thank you for the new thread @SoloCat

Condolences @NearlyadoctorFlowers

Also just realised I’ve used a different user name here, I’m a regular poster! I’m also finding the thread really slow to load on the app, v odd. Never bought much from SPACE NK, their 2024 advent was the one that got away for me: judging by the bloody awful offerings this year they’re not going to get any of my money!! What an absolute load of !!! Agree with curation comments, this really does look like it’s been thrown together, insulting!!

I'd forgotten SNK got sold to Ulta, do we think these calendars are a sign of things to come, or have they just dropped the ball this year?

That’s a good point actually. They were sold in July 2025 so the calendars would have been a done deal by then, so this years are the first ones for Ulta. Not a good start, I wonder if there’s a new buying/curating team?

This could be embarrassing but it’s been a very tough year and possibly my toughest year so far, so I know I’ve gone a bit mad but I am determined to end this year with some advent positivity.

In my possession I have, Elle, boots skin, liberty, Selfridges, sculpted by Amy, Harrods bac & H&B, JL fragrance, and I think Glossybox.

I think on order I have Sephora, Anthropologie BAc & home, Oh my cream, glamour and Ok (this one I’m unsure if I did order it, it’s been a manic few weeks)

I’m thinking I have room for one more so it’s got to be a good one. any recommendations?

Well it brought me a little burst of joy just reading that! Cannot begin to imagine the joy you will experience opening those. Enjoy ☺️ xxx

Thank you for the new thread @SoloCat

My preorder on 30 August for Harrods BAC and HB has been dispatched today, finally!
Has there been any issues with it? I will get my Dd to check the drawers, any red lipsticks that I need to know about?

XEmeraldx · Today 23:35

The acquisition of SpaceNK really feels like the reason for the nonsense this year to me. I felt the same way about Tom ford fragrances after the EstΓ©e Lauder company bought them. Just no longer the same quality.

Harrods arrived perfectly to me in Ireland a few weeks ago. Absolutely loved it this year. Lovely pink Sisley lipstick!
