    May be a silly question lol but do you think boots will get any of the perfumes back n stock online again at the reduced price?
  • Do you think Boots will stock any more items over the next week or so?

    Last year, they put S & G stock back online at 1 am.

    Looks like someone is making a living from Boots offers.

    There will be no Daisy gift sets left in Telford stores http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Marc-Jacobs-Daisy-Gift-Set-50ml-EDT-Spray-75ml-Body-Lotion-75ml-S-Gel-NEW-/190619328182?pt=UK_Health_Beauty_Fragrances_Women_s_Fragrances_PP&hash=item2c61cc1eb6

    I have never known the retail value to be £67 though!

    Some people are !!!!!!. I know they can do what they like but it really annoys me when things like this happen. There are tonnes of genuine people looking for a good gift or a treat but some shelf clearing pleb often gets there first. Same happened with the whisky at Aldi, my mum managed to get a bottle for an xmas present but there was a family in the queue before her and all three of them had a ticket each ad were gonna sell it on!

    For anyone looking for daisy, if you know anyone in the US sephora have daisy sets for really good value (can buy most sephora stuff through amazon too) and there is a code for 20% off.
    http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P294020&categoryId=B70 Would be about £43 for 100ml + 10ml rollerball + shower gel + body lotion
    The daisy rollerball is also included in the Sephora favourites set for $48 which is an absolute bargain considering the full size laura mercier foundation and nars illuminator cost about that much each! :eek:


    Hope there's some stuff left for the further reductions, really like their jimmyjamylaaas and the soup and coffee sets.

    I went there this morning but was no Daisy. I done all my shopping online this year but did look in the shops recently and didnt see any Daisy gift sets in Boots or Debenhams over the past two weeks so they must have sold out early December and not stocked back up.

    Perfume Shop has Daisy gift set advertised at £34.99, but when I click on it and add to my basket it goes back to the original price of £44.99. I went in the store today and seen one gift set, the assistant said it was £44.99 so not sure why its advertised cheaper online.

    The Paco Rabanne Lady Million has been a good seller this year too, my local boots and debenhams stores had both sold out before christmas and I searched all over online as I wanted two (one for myself and other as a gift), luckily got them last week but not happy they are now £17 cheaper! I would have waited until the sales for the one for myself but knew they would have sold out so paid full price. Not like I could purchase them again and take others back as they have sold out everywhere.

    I looked at the sellers other items before I posted and noticed he sells a lot of different fragrances so thought he had a supplier but a lot are probably from boots, the reason I think this is because he has sold the recently reduced S&G set which was reduced to £25 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Soap-Glory-Big-Splendour-Gift-Set-Carry-Case-11-Large-Size-Items-NEW-/190617043438?pt=UK_HeathBeauty_BathShowCons_RL&hash=item2c61a941ee

    and the NO7 Mirror which only Boots stock (£20 instore as I bought for a gift) http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Boots-No-7-Illuminated-Silver-Make-Up-Mirror-5-x-Magnification-NEW-BOXED-/200690098640?pt=UK_HealthBeauty_Other_RL&hash=item2eba0fe1d0

    I hope he gets stuck with all those fragrance sets :rotfl:There are people who want to treat themselves or purchase for gifts after Christmas and you get people clearing the shelves to make a profit!

    I think it was Jan 21st if I remember rightly, everything reduced to 75% of the original price. A little bit later than previous years. I bought a mountain of things which have just been given out as Christmas presents!! Of course if there is anything you really, really want it is a risk waiting for a better reduction than 50%!
