Boots after-Christmas sales - 75% off now over?

nic2075

I was in Ayr for 8.45, there was about 20 people waiting, they all rushed like maddies when the doors opened. I was chuffed with what I got. Managed some no7 and The big Gok box, pizza set, fcuk set in the wee black bag, 2 sanctuary hat boxes, and loads of other bits and bobs, the shelves were emptying but the staff were bringing loads more out. I spent £54 and saved £129, thats me sorted for mothers day and birthdays for all the females in the family and some stocking fillers for next xmas.

Was wondering if thee was any other msers there? The sale isnt exactly advertised. I was the one with the bright red jacket and ds in a buggy.
I now have blisters on my hands from carrying the big bag/basket thing around.

Got to my local store in Leamington about 9.10am (opened at 8.30 I think). Really busy when I arrived, couldnt get into the aisles very easily.

All the large gift sets had gone (there were some Chilli Pepper and Gok ones there last night).

Managed to pick up a couple of perfume sets, photo album, photo frame, compact mirror and a few other small bits. Couldnt believe the amounts some people had in baskets etc. One woman with a pram had all sorts of bags and things hanging off the pram (no kid in it, not sure if a kid was even there lol). Queued up for a bit and looked again and loads was going. Not sure if they were restocking but shelves were pretty empty by the time I left.

Hope everyone gets what they want.

Anyone in Sheffield ventured to any stores? Might nip down to the little Hillsborough one as I need to go to Co-op anyway.

Don't think I'm gonna go into town seeing as I have an exam tomorrow and haven't revised yet (oops), have ordered two of the Fairtrade Hampers online cos the reviews are great for it, they'll make nice presents for somebody. Also 2 packs of Christmas cards for next year. Already bought my wrapping paper and tags instore when it went to 50%.

Only thing I'd really like is one of the Botanics aromatherapy/oil kits as they looked nice, not worth travelling into town for though.

Wondered if anyone had been to any stores in East Kilbride/Lanarkshire or Glasgow? Thinking of maybe heading out, but not sure if it will be too late for any stock left? Thanks.

Well....I mucked up a bit and got two cupcake makers for my niece instead of one! And by the time I'd gone back to get the refills with the website keep crashing, they were out of stock. :mad:

Does anyone know where else you can buy the cupcake refills cheaply?

Still got bargains though, 2 cupcake makers (I'll sell one on I think), 2 fairtrade hampers, a kids mirror all to collect in store, I love Boots sales :beer:

Did anyone manage to get the cheap soap and glory hatbox?

*jealous* lol

Trying to read back over the posts but sorry to all those who stayed up as the sale didn't appear to go online overnight this year

Hope most got what they were after.

I got everything I wanted in the 50% sale but popped in to my local Goring store after dropping kids at school - only me and an old dear getting a prescription.:)
Checked and the SA said it was @ 75% so picked up large Sanctuary giftset, FCUK purse and spray set, Ted Baker flannel soapdish type wash set and a case of No7 makeup for 16.50 so happy with that

I have decided there is only so many Boots giftsets you can bombarde your family and friends with in one year!
