Boots OOTW w/c 26/11

I was hoping for the No 7 Ultimate Collection as well, I'm still holding out hope they put it on OOTW.

Never tried P&P, is it just a more expensive version of the No 7 creams? Even with the half price I still don't think I would shell out for it. Only bought 2 of the OOTW this time around, and still waiting patiently for the S&G

Im not sure if the Ultimate set will be on ootw or not. We have p&p this week, not sure what is 3rd then gok on 10th then assuming s&g on 17th.

I do feel ever so let down by the ootw's this year just means i will have to buy more in the sales

Oh dear. Last year's specially made set was very unimpressive and the packaging was awful. The year before it was in a lovely white "leather" case, and looked very special.

I bought the Ted Baker for DD, and that's the only OOTW that I've bought. The ACM offers are pretty uninspiring as well. Come on Mr Boots!!!! If you want us to spend our carefully hoarded money, you've got to offer better than this.

Mmmmm. Just thought. If there's loads left on the shelves and nobody buys much, that'll leave lots and lots for the 75% sale! :j

The packaging isn't up to much, I was shown a poster of the offer by a SA this weekend and its just a cardboard presentation box.

She did say each of the 4 items were worth around £20 each but hand on heart it didn't look tempting

I was in my local Boots this lunchtime, picking up more orders and I asked the SA about this weeks OOTW.

She did say that the powers that be at Boots were not happy with the sales figures on OOTW this year so far and she was under the impression that something may be done to make us spend more in the last four weeks.....

Here's hoping...... :j

Just to confirm what CPG said in post 1 - it will def be the P&P £45 set this Fri. I was in Boots today and I was going to buy my mum a day/night cream for xmas and the No7 lady told me to wait till Fri for the offer and showed me the 4 items that will be inc in the set. She confimed that the free gift is included with it as well. HTH

Oh, i was hoping for the ultimate one too Dont think i'll bother with the £45 p&p set.

Nothing really seems to be selling; every week I've been in town on Mon/Tue and there has been piles and piles of the OOTW available in both branches of Boots, so it's hardly like they're being snapped up on the first day of sale! Boots really need to do better!

...letting us have em on 342 would be a start

Well thats another one I wont be buying! Last time I tried P&P it brought me up in blisters all along my nose and under my eyes - the woman in Boots nearly had heart failure!!

TBH I am glad that Mr Boots has realised that his offers are not up to much - heres to them doing something about it! :beer:

Boots are simply not making enough effort this year, the toughest financial climate for years.
For a start an OOTW at £45, not on 3 for 2 is too expensive to begin with. Realistically a P+P regime is simply out of the reach of many people who are neither secure in their jobs and their homes these days!! It’s certainly out of mine.

If given the choice- I would sooner buy the Ultimate Collection as OOTW than P+P. because of the number of products contained therein, neatly traversing the categories of accessories, skin care, make up coupled with attractive packaging, strong and reusable. Make a lovely gift for a woman of ANY age.

In reference to previous OOTWs are Boots hoping to fool the Public, by giving them any old rubbish, click their fingers and hope they are stupid enough to buy? Bet none of the managers bought the Fearne, or the Strictly box themselves!! Or alternatively- pricing themselves out of the market with P+P? Come on Boots- now more than ever. Attack the middle ground. You want Sales. We want Quality and Price. Is that too much to ask?

The public will not be loyal to the company because of the Boots name alone. Not these days!!!! Sorry.
