I hope the joules bag is going to be on offer, both DD want this and there is no way I can afford the £40 its on for. I received the one they had last year and the bag is brilliant.

Im hoping for the Joules bag aswell. I only want the bag not bothered by the contents. I think its a lovely bag. I put it on the OOTW possible list because at £40 I think it falls in the OOTW price range but we will see

Checked this bag in store and it it has the parcel on the price tag so unfortunately this won't be a OOTW.

I love the No 7 set with the suitcase - £45 I think. No chance that will be in the offer though

Hi, could one of the first posters please update their post on page one (if it's not too much trouble) with the latest offer of the week as this thread is going to get verrrrrrrrrrrrry long and it would be nice to have them all together.

Thanks in (hopeful) advance

I like the suitcase as well as the big set. Its a shame they cant do more no7 on offer at £45 its too much, even on 342 but half price would be better.


Also....I was thinking earlier. I recall a few years ago I brought the Elle McPherson set which was OOTW I remember picking it up and asking the SA about it and Im sure it was still in 342.....am I remembering it incorrectly or was this the case?

It's a shame the big set isn't in the case rather than in a cardboard box again. That would make a lovely OOTW.

yeah it would make a lovely gift in the case. To be honest I think the value of the boots range has decreased these past few years. All of the big sets now have 1 or 2 items less than they used to at yet stay the same price. Don't get my wrong when they are OOTW as a whole they are still good price wise but I remember getting the big S7G set 3 years ago and it contained better and more items worth a lot more than the current one this year.

It seems that most OOTW gifsets at full price are pretty much the same price that each of the individual items cost. Normally, the point of gift sets is to get good value, with the total value of the items being more than the price paid.

I agree, even the colour of the packaging is not exciting this year, doesn't say 'Christmas' to me - but maybe some people like it like that? The only thing that is of interest is the purple suitcase
