    I got the S&G set last year... then noticed the facial wash had urea in! Yuck.... Not used any since and do not think I can morally give it away.. ooh have some posh toiletries they are fully of p*ss.

    Haha urea is fab stuff - great for the skin. And natural! The only cream that would relieve me when I had antenatal itching was urea cream. I swear by it!
    I'll have some cheese please, bob.

  • The mens ted baker set with the rucksack? I hope so as OH has already said he fancies it! My thought was that'll be half price in a few weeks!

    I cant find the gift set with a rucksack do you have a link

    I popped into Boots today and I doubt this set is a future gift of the week, despite the price tag as the price label has the xmas box on it - the specials don't have this on the label, in order that the price can be dropped.

    Hi all, is the points event just on gift items? Or does it work on everything? And does anybody know if there will be any points events online?

    The points event is just for total spend in the whole store and usually have an online event just the qualifying spend amount is higher.

    Shouldn't worry about the urea...it hasn't been ACTUAL urea for years in cosmetics ...same chemical formula but manufactured in labs now.

    Popped into Boots this morning and the following items are what I think may be weekly star gifts, due to them not having pressies on the actual label. Not in date order as not sure what they will be. The Ted Baker rucksack has the pressie on the label so don't think it will be that one. This was all I could find, but they were still putting stock out so will probably have missed some.

    Hope that helps

    Very confusing.

    The No7 gift contents do not match the picture.

    So what's actually in the gift? Is it the body stuff as listed? Or the make up as photographed?

    I won't be buying the S&G set this year for anyone. It's full of the same old stuff and it's a less better offer than previous years. The hand cream is poor quality and loses its smell as does the body butter.
