    I am not an S&G user but can not decide whether to buy this for my daughter.
    I have loads of stuff for her including S&G, I have bought a few gift sets and separates under the 3 for 2 with stuff I know she actually uses. I really keep toing and froing over this weeks forthcoming OOTW as it contains many things that she may or may not use (as with most gift sets). I am interested in it more for the bag and box.

    I keep asking myself:
    Does she want it (no because it is probably me that thinks she will).
    Does she need it (probably not as there are many contents she might not use).
    Have I Already Spent Enough On Her (yes but then I always spent too much on her ;))

    So am I just bothered about not getting it as I might miss a bargain Which Is Only A Bargain If You Wanted It In The First Place!


    Maybe buy it but then keep it for a birthday present??

    :( Have toyed with that but have the vanity case (not the black one, that's for Christmas) and a make up bag which I have filled with 3 for 2's when they had extra points days, that are for her Birthday in April :eek: This is why I am really undecided about the OOTW. I am thinking (right now, mind may change) go for it on Friday and if you don't get it then it was not meant to be (trouble is I have three days to change my mind over and over again :D;):))

    Does anyone know when this offer is first available online? Is it midnight or sometime on Friday morning?

    I find that just after midnight on a Thursday (Friday)the site closes (the OOTW has not yet changed) and does not open up again until after at least 3 am.

    I could but knowing me she will get it sooner and I have some stuff already :o:D, you are not helping my cause are you :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQDAco2s5TZ_TJ9KW7Ybk-j3EC7MD0Qjqz6wO7imnoOUu6C0DYy8A you are forcing me to buy ;) :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

  • When I first saw it, I thought "Is that IT"?

    Compared to the Hatbox last year which looks luxurious and a must-have :D and I wanted it as soon as I saw it, waiting it out for it to go OOTW was pure hell! :o sadly this looks like a cheapie bag with some products just stuffed in the bottom.

    Can't see myself getting one, can happily live without.

    I've had a couple of the other better than half price deals, that's enough for me. ;)

    I'll get through my S&G supply at some stage. Everyone else bathes 6 times a day, don't they? :rotfl:

    Of course we do :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:I just went into my airing cupboard and found a load of bath stuff I forgot about. :eek:

    I'm always finding bags I didn't unpack yet, complete with receipts and also the water I bought to drink on the way home but forgot :rotfl:

    My back room is like a Lost Property Office in a shopping mall... :p

    But next year's S&G OOTW could be brilliant, & then you won't need to buy it!

    Thing is, I think Boots probably thought they couldn't go wrong with this. The hatbox was so completely must-haveable ... and the excitement on here was so massive ... and the wait that night was completely hilarious ... and the feeling of achievement for those of us who waded through snow to get it was so brilliant - zillions of hatboxes must have sold to MSE'ers - the hatbox was just awesome. Boots thought this would do it all again, but maybe haven't got it quite right.

    Personally, I think it's as good an offer as the hatbox, but the bag just doesn't have whatever it was the hatbox had in aces. So not so many poeple will buy the bag.

    And next year S&G/Boots will be more creative, we'll get a better OOTW & I'll get that one!
