Boots OOTW-Until Xmas, Its obvious!

edited 17 October 2010 at 6:08PM in It's gone, but was it any good?
Has anyone noticed that the Boots OOTW thus far, have been full page product ads in the Boots Xmas guide ?(Make up set, Ted baker vanity gift set and the current announcement that the S&G gift case will be the last one in the week up till Xmas)...so on that basis, the following are VERY likely to be future OOTW!
Gok Deluxe Collection (p102)
FCUK Tote bag (p96)
Sanctuary Spa perfect box (already rumoured for OOTW on Friday)
Ted Baker duffle, p144
FCUK winter duffle (p140)

There's obviously a reason they devote a whole page to these selected products in their magazines!
Obviously, i cant guarantee it-but its a pretty likely hunch,so dont go buying any of the above in case they go to half price!
Hope this helps someonex

    That's where you'll see it - I think a Boots worker told someone.

    The store hasn't announced it, but most of us who follow boots deals and s&g rabidly have surmised that the 60 quid s&g set would be on OOTW just before Christmas. Now if an employee has said it too, I'd say that's as confirmed as you're going to get until Boots announces it (which they probably won't do until just before the sale starts).

    If that's not solid enough for ya, the only thing that will ease your mind is to go ahead and get the set before then. At the very least if I were you, I'd wait until late November and save the receipt, and then when it goes on OOTW and if you can get one, return the other one you bought for a higher price.

    I noticed this and posted it on another thread. It certainly looks that way given the number of full page items and weeks till christmas, and given their prices, its a good bet most of them will be on at some point.

    Aha thanks, I was just looking to see if it had been actually confirmed by someone. I've gotten excited about certain other rumour before and been let down when I've gotten to the store!

    There's no way I'm paying £60 for it. I love soap and glory but it's for myself and not an xmas pressie - just something I can afford if it's half price!
