Thanks guys! It's funny how reading these threads makes you start to want things you never even thought of because everyone else is so excited about them! I'm big on S&G too, but was starting to get tempted by Sanctuary even though I don't need (and don't have room for!) many more girlie goodies!

I read and follow the threads but im not buying anything this year, I have far more stuff than i could ever possibly use anyway. And i refuse to spend money on others apart from my kids this year, im making a point, as we always put a lot of thought into gifts and spend a fair bit of cash but usually dont even get q thanks in return, so were are putting pur feet down.

And if i did buy anything i'd save it till christmas and then it probably wouldnt get used till a few weeks later, so i might as well hold of for the sale and treat myself then.

Ive been saving with park all year for vouchers so that me & DF can have an amazing sale shopping experience.

The Sanctuary box has been in and out of my basket all day!

Guess we are just a sucker for a bargain and the shops know this

I don't really need more pamper products, but I'm starting to wonder if I want the Sanctuary box! If you were going to get just one, the Sanctuary offer or the S&g tote, which is more lush and wonderul? I have only tried a little Sanctuary stuff.

For me it has to be the SS set but I buy the S&G for my Adult daughter. I bought the SS set at £25 recently (along with 2 S&G different sets) this is why mine was in and out of the basket yesterday but I went for it in the end.
Now just waiting for the Ted Baker set and the S&G one later.

I can understand that! I'm getting some s&g face products on the shopping evening, and then I'll put them away as a gift from my hubby (I always get exactly what I want that way, lol), but I may buy a little Xmas s&g too. I'll probably buy a couple other things to put away while it's on sale 342.

The problem with waiting for the sale is that in-store there is never a single s&g giftset left at my local stores, even on the first day, and online it's really hard to get anything too. So I think if there's something I really want, I'm getting it before the sales. Which for me will be the handwash/lotion sets and maybe the tote when it's ootw.

Quick question about Boots in general....

I need a few other bits for Christmas, but think i'll be able to spend at least £50 again:rotfl: hope hubby doesn't see this....

And I was wondering whether to buy this weekend while the points offer is on, or hang on until Thursday for the xmas shopping event.....

If i'm following all this right, i'll get an extra 200 points by waiting until Thursday, but whats the odds of the stock being available???

Whats your advise????

Thanks x

200 points is only £2 so guess you have to decide if waiting and risking your wanted items being OOS is worth it. Personally, I wouldn't wait.

I've been wondering this same thing too, and also thought "well, we're just talking about 2 pounds more if I wait". Don't know for sure what I'll do, guess it depends on if I feel like going out to Boots this weekend, lol.

When you put it down to just £2 quid.... looks like a boots order going in this afternoon, at least with it being done online, I can top it up with the offers and discounts that Claire keeps finding :T

If you're spending 100 quid, it's definitely worth it to do it online as you get that extra 1000 points. None of the vouchers available work for what I'm getting, so I'll probably go to the store and at least use my double points voucher (and see if any others work, though it sounds like they won't).
