Well done, this offer is the best isn't it.

I spent my earned points on a peppa pig spaceship for my freinds son and a perfume set for a raffle in aid of the Railway Children charity.

thats very kind:)

Anyone in CAMBRIDGE....
I have just been into Boots Petty Cury and they have several old Max Factor GWPs. They are on a small stand at the end of the facial skincare aisle (near the make-up counters, not far from the tills). I got a Lola Rose black hexagonal box which went through as 0.00 on self service tills! There are two more of these plus two summer bronzing kits (in small pink bags)
As I am only an "occasional" Bootser I was feeling generous so left these for others to discover. I guess the pink bags go through with no spend but if anyone is in the area go and try it!

Good shop today. I was going to get one of the Elle sets with points, being currently skint, but then after a little creative thinking I reworked my Xmas list with the help of the Boots catalogue.

When I went in to Fort Kinnaird (Edinburgh) there was a huge stand of the Elle sets at the door and the Oral-B rep was telling anyone that came in about how good a buy it was. And the points. She was really quite excited about it all, bless her.

Anyway I got...

Elle Gift set £35.00 but 50% off so £17.50
Bratz Electric Toothbrush £10.00
Chocolate Slab Gift Set £10.00 but free on 3-4-2

Homer Electric t-brush £8.00
Natural Collection Cocktail Set £8.00
Boots Chocolate Slab £6.00 but free on 3-4-2

Barbie Bubble Bath £5.00
Belgium Choc Shell £5.00
Ginger Jar £5.00 but free on 3-4-2

Total cost £92.00 before reductions, £53.50 after, thus saving £38.50

Points gained..(I had a very lovely SA who just cheerfully scanned every voucher in without a blink.)
1000 for spending over £50.00
350 points from mailing for spending over £45.00(or £40, I forget.)
300 points from ACM for spending over £35.00
212 standard points.
212 points because I used my double points coupon.
Total points = 2074

I know my list doesn't include any GWP or extra points on specific products and other folk can get a higher points return on £50, but every single item is a genuine "must" item from my list, rather than buying just because of points or because it was cheaper. So I'm very pleased with myself, and happy to have more points to spend in the sale.

Hi Aggie

Yes they are online but out of stock at the moment.

http://www.boots.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=10052&productId=32971&langId=-1&catalogId=11051

I managed to get 2 before they sold out but they had been showing as out of stock only hours before so it's worth it to keep checking. They make lovely gifts for the price.

Thanks Angie, I'll keep checking back every now and then. If I can get them online I will, I should of got some the other day with my .com order on Wednesday. The order turned up earlier on with the razors and all the other bargains.
