Boots Grabbit Bargains Part 37 - Post your finds here

Schnoogleboo

Hey all, nothing really dramatic to report from my boots today - the shop is looks like its been ransacked as they are putting all the new xmas stuff out, didn't buy anything as I didn't want, or need anything - just a meal deal and paid with points...ooh..I've been good (Don't worry, haven't gone mad, just waiting for my student bursary to come through, then will go mental )


However, big thanks Aureol, I went to charity shop and picked up a nice basket (for boots xmas basket making) for 50p Then went to wilkinsons, and they have to v expensive looking dark willow woven baskets for £1.99 plus they are a decent size, hth

Also, does anyone know where I can get that clear cellophane-y stuff from? For covering the baskets? Ta

ETA (Sorry for being off topic, and I will stop soon) Wilkinsons have some lovely oil burners for cheap (£1-£3ish) and I thought of a good idea. You can pick up them Yankee Wax Tarts (that you use in an oil burner) for as little as 95p so I was gonna include a burner and some yankee candle tarts in my baskets, for a little bath time luxury - thought it would look really expensive, and wilkinsons again has plain coloured face cloths for 25p


Sorry for being so off topic but thought it might be useful for all those creating baskets from their boots grabbit stashes

Also, if I have time later, are people still wanting a step by step guide for using the new no7 GWP? I haven't got the step by step guide that was being given out, but could create my own one with pics and tips if people wanted?

That would be great Mrs Bluebear, I got this yesterday and I also got the peacock eyeliner but am unsure how to use it.

Can I ask what your studying? I am seriously contemplating going to College next year but think Im too old at 35 :eek:

Hi; not been on on here or in Boots for over two weeks so have a quick question.

Decided to make my two sisters a hamper each for Christmas full of Botanics bits. I’ve got lots already (wipes, 3 min hair cond, body lotion, body scrub, shower gel, face masque) but still need a few more cheep bits.

Has anyone got any ideas if Botanics bits are on offer atm??? I sort of need two of everything so BOGOF would be ok.

I’m want to get all my Christmas stuff sorted out in the next month or so as I’m hoping to change job but it’ll be too one with a much lower salary. I need to got Christmas sorted and then I’ll better be able to see if I can afford it.

Thanks

Amy

I know it's been mentioned before but if you are buying JK wipes for Christmas, do check the expiry date. All of the ones available in my store were dated Sep 2008:eek:

Doesn't matter if it's been mentioned before KrispiiDuck, there's always someone like me that might have missed it
Sat down and found all the receipts for mine earlier :eek: I was amazed lol
