I won't be buying this. I am a bit disappointed because I was hoping for a hugo boss orange set like the last two years.:(

Just as a note to anyone looking out for the big S&G gift, in the past three years it has been the last offer before xmas, so this year it will probably be on Friday 13th December, hth.

Same here, I'm heading into town tomorrow now to get that very set which was selling for £29.50 from a perfume stall i the shopping center.

As for the S&G set, I'll be buying it for my sis and 2 sis-in-law's however I won't be getting it for myself as I won't use most of it. I'm also disappointed that there's less in the set again like last year. The items seem to decrease by one each year - well since 2 years ago anyway

They are always one of the best sets for value for money though, against what the products would cost you seperately. A lot of gifts in Boots are all packaging and no content :mad:

Oh I know that, but I'll be left with the stuff I don't want, which is then too expensive just to throw away or donate away. So I'll stick with the 3 for 2 offers when I need my S&G stuff, and the other 3 can do what they want with their's lol

Ive been saving with park for love to shop vouchers, and I know you get a 500pts when you spend £50 i think it is in the back, can these be used at the same time as the xmas points events?

Also how do you find out when your store is having a points event?
I haven't received any bumpf in the post.

Last year I asked if they would mind scanning the 500pts voucher on the points night to see if it would work, they tried it and it worked alongside the 1200pts. It's worth asking the Sa to check :-)

That time of year again!

I got my gift guide yesterday and guessed which ones I expect to see on offer. S&G gift was the last one which I would expect to be Friday 20th Dec this year, how Xmas fell last year the last few gifts kinda messed up abit. Normally they have a perfume set, a hairdryer and then the normal gifts which are usually around £35-£60 all on offer. Looking through the book I will expect the following on offer -

S&G set
No7 set
ted baker set
FCUK set
Joules set (it is £35)
champneys
gok set

and maybe even the male champneys set

This is what we have had in the years gone by, we had a fearne set last year but there isn't one there dear enough to stick on half price so will see what the replace it with.

no early points event near me which is a shame I expected either Stratford Upon Avon or Coventry to do one and Im sure there is none of these on there. Still I will wait for the proper event later on in November

I could be wrong but I think the last gift starts on a Friday which leaves a full week before Christmas Day, so it may well be on the 13th not the 20th......

This discussion happened last year aswell. S&G was the Friday before (21st?) it doesn't need to be a whole week as such but we will see. I think Im correct the big no7 and S&G had a cross over?

Soap and Glory offer was Friday 14th December last year. I know this as I've been going to Scotland for the past 2 years that weekend and always have to be up early on the Friday and order them online before I go to the airport And I always go around that time, never the weekend just before Christmas, incase I don't get there or I don't get home lol
