UPDATED 04/09: Body Shop Offer - Free Gifts + Discounts/Cashback

Free Gift with minimum spend - the current offer is to get one "set" of the items below for free with a £30 purchase (pre-discount).

https://secure.thebodyshop.co.uk/_en/_gb/content/gwp/gwp.aspx

But you can choose ANY 3 items (including multiples) from the 5 available and they show in the basket as free! (it will be the cheapest 3 items out of the 5 on offer that are free)

On top of this you don't even have to spend a full £30 to get the free items, the amount you need to spend to qualify can be worked out as follows:

£52.00 minus Total Value of your selected free gifts = your minimum spend.

The most expensive free gift is the vit C mix x3 worth £39, £52 take £39 leaves £13 min spend before discounts being the absoloute minimum to qualify, if you choose cheaper gifts then you will have to spend more to qualify!

Split your orders! If the total value of your order is £26.00 or over pre-discount then by placing two seperate orders you could get twice the amount of free gifts!

Discount codes are always available - current best known is 30% that can be achieved various ways:

Body Shop thread on discount code forum: https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/1312591

The Body Shop list all there current offers on there website (under terms & conditions) so it is always worth a look in case a better offer has come out that hasn't been found elsewhere yet: http://www.thebodyshop.co.uk/_en/_gb/services/terms_promos.aspx )

Cashback Rates vary, The Body Shop regularly increase the % or offer exra cashback:

Quidco is at 8%

TopCashBack is at 12.12%

Free Gift With purchase of Love Your Body card
This gives you a 30% discount on your order (which you can get anyway so has no value) and a free gift with RRP £10 (so £7 actual value for a £5 spend that discounts cannot be applied to) - Still is worth considering IF you want the membership or the free item.

Shea discounted items - NOW EVEN CHEAPER!
The 50% Body Butter is good value if it's something you would order anyway (but remember you cannot get additional discount on this price). The 30% off items are effectively standard price - so only buy them if you particularly want them, because you cannot get a voucher discount to apply to them it effectively increases your required minimum spend to qualify for the gifts.

EDIT 04/09: There is a £5 OFF £20 Code available (see mse thread) that WILL apply to the already discounted Shea items! this means you can get an extra 25% off. You need to have OVER £5 worth of full priced items in your cart (effectively you get these free as I guess this is where the discount is allocated). Example order here: http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showpost.php?p=46627907&postcount=122

Let me know if anything needs adding!

Thank you to all those that have contributed & worked these things out!

    thought i would add this here as it works with the above gift offer and works out better than the above 30% as that only seems to work the once, Op maybe you can edit the header :)

    In theory you can get £79 worth of stuff for just £20 ish, plus TOP CASH BACK is offering 12.12 %

    - £5 off if you spend £15 - £24.99
    - £10 off if you spend £25 - £39.99
    - £20 off if you spend £40.00+

    have added the code on the discount section, hope i have done it right, sorry if i have'nt
