Oh god, I have a prehistoric laptop carved out of stone. It crashes enough as it is. Thursday night is not looking fun for me!!!

I can beat that - I don't have a laptop, only a pedal-powered computer :rotfl:

I have never seen any soap & glory gift sets make it to the 75% sale in any boots stores near me ???

Nope, me neither, and I was in 5 on the first day of the 75% off sale this past year.

No7, yep, R&M, yep, lots of other stuff, but no S&G.

There was plenty near me last year, I stocked up on the Glove Story, which had a full size Righteous Butter, full size Shower cream and bumpy glove for £4!!! :j

What little S&G and No7 there had been in my store for the 75% off sale was all snaffled by the staff before the store opened to normal customers!

Does the Boots Sale usually start on Boxing Day?

Our local Boots has of course run out of FCUK bags so they have re-stocked the shelves with the Gok Wan set which is still at £18 but also on 3-4-2!

HTH someone.

Why is this so MASSIVE..If I was to buy 3 of them now it would cost me £100 or 3 of them on fri £60. I agree it is a good saving but not MASSIVE.

Alternatively they will be prob be 75% off in the sale making them £12.50, of course ther would have to be some left and with the campaign on this site to rush out and buy on fri there may not be.

I bet Boots love this site with all the free advertising

Like Picasso, I only want one so for me it's a £30 saving, I would admire it from afar if it wasn't being reduced..I mean come on who seriously pays £50 for a hatbox (albeit a gorgeous one ) full of smellies?! I certainly can't afford to do so.

There wasn't a specific S&G thread last year, I think it was all contained within the Boots thread and yet still the Soap & Glory sets were nowhere to be seen in any of the stores I visited during the sales. One of the perks of working for Boots means you get to choose from the sales stock before opening time - sometimes wish I worked there. If I see a S&G product during the 75% off sale I will faint :shocked: asset2004 - I'm coming to stay!

Also I'm sure Boots don't always appreciate these boards - there have been some fab glitches in the past and the true hardened bargain hunters don't succomb to buying extra stuff as they walk through the shop on their way to the clearance stand armed with vouchers/tilspits so the often presented argument of increased footfall doesn't always apply.

I'm half expecting there to be none left by the time I visit the store so I will be joining the others on their midnight wait on the offchance they update online promptly.

Boots staff don't get a choice of sales stock first :S We have to wait until our lunch! Just wanted to make this clear lol, but we do get discount

No7 set or other boots brands for £15 normally.
With 50% sale we'd get it for £5.80 =D
In 75% sale it would be £2.90 =D

And non boots items normally £15 would be either £6.55 or £3.28

l dont want to cause offense to anyone who has brought the fcuk bag, but this is just my personal view. went into town to see wot all the hype was about and they had loads just by the entrance on a stand!!! they look absolutely cheap to the core regardless of the contents the bag itself is just vile!!! l didnt like the look of it at all and it seemed like cheap tat. forget £45 l wouldnt pay £20 for it lolzzz
however the s & g hatbox looks very very nice indeed and am hoping to get my hands on one (roll on friday) im just thinking how im going to carry it through town with a pushchair...its rather BIG!!!
l asked the sa whether they had anymore hatboxes and she told me they had loads at teh back but due to space tehy couldnt put them all out....
