    Is anyone else not able to get on to boots website?
    Shame I missed out on the 3 salt scrub sachets and 3 free gifts. :( I even tried at 2 am and 7 am but the only sachet that was available was the moisture boosting face mask and they only had 1 in stock. However, there was still a glitch as I was able to put a free gift in manually. I did however, get other (non sanctuary items) that added up to £20 so I could collect in store for free. :)

    website is working again for me. Cheapest item in stock is £7.15 at moment though. They only have 1 in stock. You can add it to your basket and then manually add the free gift so the glitch is still working. HTH someone

    It didn't work for me instore, and I was buying 3 £12.25 items.

    Thanks to OP! I don't usually frequent this forum but noticed the offer by chance and just been on Boots website - hardly anything in stock!

    However bought 3 giftsets for £20.50 each on a 3 for 2 which I intend to split into 6 pressies worth and got 6 free gift sets so all in all 12 pressies for £41, about £3.40 a pressie. Plus boots points of course, topcashback and tesco clubcard pts (tesco credit card) and free delivery. Not bad and all my female pressies sorted for this year.

    Wow! I was pleased with my shop but yours is even better value. Well done! I tried all ways but couldn't get that sort of deal. Fingers crossed for others...

    It seems that the boots website is being maintained! Bit daft choosing a Saturday night to do it!

    Tried instore but would not let me mix 2 x Sanctuary with 1 x No 7 on the 3 for 2 deal. So 2 x Sanctuary plus 1 x Garnier got 1 x Sanctuary free. 3 x N o 7, one No 7 free. Used double points coupon and one 300 points for spending over £30 plus another 300 points for spending more than £20 on No 7 and £5 off No 7 voucher.

    Think that was reasonably good, upped my points total from 290 to 1270 and got 2 more £5 No 7 vouchers. So that's one free £10 Sanctuary gift box, one free Sanctuary body lotion @£5 and one free No 7 item @ £19.50 with £5 off total. £40 worth of free goods. Double points on a £49.49 spend (no idea what that works out at) and 600 extra points.

    Still working instore today.
    2 sanctuary and no7 wipes + free gift, £5 off no7 voucher used and a 250 points voucher from machine. Total £7.10, 250 points on card and new no7 voucher issued for next time.
    My store would not issue no7 voucher if I made the above purchase using points off of card.
