The Boots Christmas weekly Star gift thread

Yeah I think that's the plan really... I know that they have been much more precise with their allocations of stock this year, only sending out as many fragrance gift sets as they believe a store will sell.
To basically have nothing remaining for sales.

So I know it may be particularly hard to get a bargain fragrance set after Christmas, and all of the better, more popular Christmas 3 for 2 gift sets will be very few and far between.

In October our stock room was full of all the Christmas gifts, and yesterday I was clearing out the last few things and taking them out on to the shop floor to put them on shelf. So everything we have on shelf now is what is left. This next week will be the maddest as people do their last minute christmas shopping, and that will most likely clear us out of all the good stuff.

By Boxing Day it will be all the slightly rubbish and slightly tatty leftovers!

Whether there will be a good amount of stock available in sale on Boots.com is another story entirely. I think they've just been very smart about their stock and their profits this year.

Very different story in our stock room, had 30 pallets delivered over several days last week, we've been ordering extra pallets 8 at a time to make sure there is plenty for the sale

i usually go on a recce mission the day before the suspected 75% off sale day, and if theres not much on the shelves i want, i don't bother going.

Just goes to show how the stores differ, I'm guessing your store must be one of the big ones in one of the more prime locations where they think you will be likely to sell A LOT and make a good profit even on sales.

I hope I get some good bargains in the sale, I think I might make a list of the things I'm hoping to look out for now so I'm prepared!

Me too, check the joint out so I know my route around the shop ready for the early start the next morning :rotfl:

Can't wait :j

I was in the bognor Regis store today and they had about fifty of these all around the store, I was very tempted but TBH i would only use about 3 of the products so its not that cost effective for me. I have bought at least one every year before now though!

Bluewater has a massive stack of them too.
