I really REALLY want the No 7 artists pallet, but can't find it anywhere, has anyone seen these in Warwickshire/West Mids anywhere? Many thanks.

I saw the pallets in the Boots on the retail park in Malvern on saturday, not sure if they'll have any left now tho... there's also a Ruby&Millie pallet with 75% off (I got 1!) which is well worth hunting for. Good luck

Thanks to those who replied to my last post.

I went back and only spent about £14. Picked up a Glitter babes stationery set and asked the male SA to price check. It came up full price. I explanined how it was reduced in other stores at which he smirked and said "All the systems are the same so if it's not coming up on the till, it's not reduced". He was quite sarcastic about it even when I explained I was only asking! He wasnt too happy that I left a few items after getting him to price check, and needless to say was giving the rolling eyes to his colleague when I left

I didn't even try to see if he would take the No 7 voucher for the gift set I'd picked.

Now to all those who managed to buy the Glitter Babes sets at 75%, can I have the name of your store. Im going to try calling CS to see if they are suppose to be reduced and then go see the Manager at this store.

Hope you have more luck with CS than I did! They told me they couldn't confirm the prices the items should be in store as they are discontinued on the website!! I was originally told (in Dec) that the TOILETRY gift sets - trolley case, backpack, etc should be included in the sale but have not found a local store willing to sell them cheaper than full price! In Leeds, they were clearing literally hundreds of Glitter Babes sets off the shelves as "excess stock".

Previous posts have mentioned discounted stock at Rotherham and Doncaster.

Let us know how you get on with Customer Services as I would love to get some sets for my DD.

There was a fair amount of stuff left in Liverpool today, lots of Kangol gift sets anyway.
I went in for the Espresso maker, which was reduced to £3.75, but scanned at £5. There were no problems getting it sorted - apart from a 'not everything's 75% off you know'.

Infuriating!! Especially as they obviously have more stock than they know what to do with! My DD (age 6) was really upset when I explained to her that every other gift set was on sale, but not the ones she wanted to spend her Xmas money on!!!

The store told me that the reason it is not on sale is that they sell Glitter Babes all year round - I thought they sold Botanics, Sanctuary, No7 all year too, but they're still selling that off!!!!
