    For those getting LYB cards, you might be interested to know that last year (2011) December birthdays got 2 gifts with their card. One was £5 off what you want (like every other month) and the other was your choice of the Earth Lovers shower gel range "because it is Christmas and you deserve seperate presents for birthday and Christmas not a joint one" or something like that.
    So if you are not bothered when you get your "birthday" gift from Body Shop you might want to be a Dec birthday;).

    *Obvious disclaimer, that they may not offer the double gift this year, but you will still get one as usual.

    Where about do you input your bday details? I've just placed an order and opened the LYB card but haven't been asked for my bday anywhere???

    That's handy to know, I was born in December so fingers crossed this year it is a bit rubbish having a Birthday so close to Christmas. I thought they asked ID to prove it's your birth month anyway?


    My birthday is in December too, that's how I found out last year. I didn't need any ID to show when my birthday is, they just ask for a Date of Birth when you order the card online (or fill in form in store). To get the extra gift I needed to take in a copy of the email they sent me, but they'd have accepted seeing the email on a phone too.

    It's only a game

    It's been about a year since I ordered my card, but there was a place to put DOB on the payment page, I assumed it was related to a card payment proof of ID, but I've been told it isn't (last year there was a similar glitchy, freebie deal and I ordered one for my "neice". I phoned them up when "she" didn't get the birthday email in April to be told both were registered under my DOB.)

    It gave you three mists? I'm just placing and order and I'm not getting extra free gifts! The website is clearly biased!! How did you manage it? Lucky you :)
  • Right just tried again and only 1 gift this time,but I have found that if you add one of the gift sets on offer for £14 it adds a free spray mist,then just remove the gift set and the free gift still stays in your basket,I managed a LYB card and 3 free gifts again this way

    Have been trying to add the Love your body card and it was showing as adding the free gift about 20 minutes ago but my laptop crashed so had to restart it and now the free gift is not being added. It looks like they have changed it so you are now being offered a different body mist but you have to pay an additional £4 for it (i.e. 50 % off):( It still shows the free libertine musk mist spray (it says you will receive when you add it to your basket) but does not add it. I don't think the mist is out of stock either as it shows in stock when you do a search for it. A shame if they have stopped it. Would have been happy with 1 free gift. Wanted to buy the rose hand cream as well. Also seems to be charging £2.99 for delivery now so sadly will not be purchasing. Anyone found the same or different?

    Yes that's happening to me too! Gifts taken from basket and postage added....
