    Is this definitely the one that's going to be on offer, if so I am very excited!? I was hoping it would be but thought the vanity case would be as it had it's own page spread
    I'm the opposite :(
    Was hoping it would be the vanity case one, am gutted that it's this one :(
    Everything will be alright in the end so, if it’s not yet alright, it means it’s not yet the end

    Me too, i was wishing for that vanity case. Now i will be looking out to see if it goes on offer, whether before or after Christmas.

  • Hi I work at boots, we don't find out what sets are gonna be on till about a week or so before hand but as a sneaky tip when in store, look at the Christmas gifts, they all have a picture of a green present next to the price, except the gifts that will be start gift at some point :D with the ad card events, money off coupons can be used but extra points coupons cant, eg £5 off electrical beauty can be used, 400 when you spend £40 or more can not be used :) s & g gift set is usually the last couple of weeks BUT because we sell out so fast sometimes we do s&g for half a week then do another star gift so keep your eyes peeled!! :D
  • Hi,
    Does anyone know if I will get 2400 points if I spend £100 in a single transaction? I've got my eye on the babyliss secret curl which costs £120!
    Thanks

    I spent £150.00 in one transaction and got 3600 pounds also had a voucher for an extra 500 points if paid using £50 of love2shop vouchers which I did so ended up with a total of 4100 points. Very happy with that.

    Does the £5 off a £25 electrical spend voucher work when paying with points? Ie., pay 2000 points instead of 2500? Thanks.

    I have tried twice to use the 500 extra points when spending £50 in love to shop vouchers in 2 different stores and they just keep telling me it wont work!!:( Good if you have a cooperative assistant.
