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.

so is that 2 Sanctuary items at just over £5 per Sanctuary item, plus no7 wipes?

Bagged myself 3 Sanctuary products that I really did want and 3 free gifts that will do nicely as presents - result! :j

Not really sure that the free sets are great gifts.

They had a similar glitch before mothers day last year. I sold all mine at a car boot -everyone who bought mentioned that they had been the free gift!

What shall I do with the 27 from this year I wonder?

If you give them as Xmas pressies hopefully people will have forgotten they were free !!!

They are not just free gifts. They are available to purchase at £10 too.

How much were people willing to pay for them at your boot sale?

I think they're lovely gifts, but I am planning to give them along with the candle to 2 recipients. The other recipient will get the freebie alongside something else from Sanctuary, because she doesn't like candles anyhow, and even if she knows it's a freebie she will like it and be glad I gave it to her instead of keeping it for myself

Most of my friends and family don't shop in boots and don't use Sanctuary, and don't come on MSE so aren't aware of glitches.

Not really! They pretend they are to make them seem worth £10. Thye get them in for a few weeks- mKe them a free gift and then discontinue them. In a few weeks they will be discontinued and on the reduced unit in the store. It's the same every time they have a gift offer. Last years was an orange box with similar items. They had them reduced in the summer- a couple of £s each

Same with no7 gifts etc. They sell hem off a few months later

Can't remember how much I sold them for £3 I think. Might have been £3.50.

I use Sanctuary everyday and so tend to stock up.

The miniatures sell for quite a bit at boots though, so I'd pay more than that. Don't you want to keep the gifts and use the bits yourself?

I wish I hadn't smelled Sanctuary! Must force myself to stick to my body shop bargains or the pound shop instead :rotfl:

The stores are full of them. Just go and look! 3 for 2 with no 7 wipes. There is no luck about it. Spend £7 in any store- you get 2 sanctuary bath, no7 wipes and a free gift set.

Plus one online order for face creams. Spent about £170 but only on stuff I would buy anyway.

The charity we do 2 annual car boots for will benefit but they are quite hard to shift! The no17 ones flew out and the clinique get £10 each at car boots (usually have a few of this as well). I just save all the free items and car boot them for charity. The boots no 7 wipes sell quote well oddly.
