WOO! Got everything I wanted! :j

LOTS of perfume gift sets, for myself... I'm a big collector!

Marc Jacobs Honey 50ml EDP Gift Set
Dior Hypnotic Poison 50ml Gift Set (with Dior clutch/make up bag)
DKNY Be Delicious 50 EDP Gift Set
Paco Rabanne Black XS 50ml Gift Set
Prada Amber 50ml EDP Gift Set (with Prada clutch bag)
CKone Shock for Her 100ml Gift Set
Nina Ricci Nina 50ml Gift Set
Juicy Couture Viva La Juicy 30ml EDP Gift Set
Illamasqua Freak Christmas Gift Set (Didn't even know Boot's sold any Illamasqua products so VERY pleased with that!)
Beyonce Heat 30ml EDP Gift Set
Boss Jour and Boss Nuit 30ml EDP Gift Set

Quite a few foodie items because I love cooking!

Jamie Oliver Solid Spice Rack
Gino D'Acampo Spaghetti Jar, Measurer and Spaghetti
Gino D'Acampo Mezzaluna with Chopping Board and Olive Oil
Wahaca Spice Tower
Wahaca Mexican Food at Home Recipe Book
Food Nation Tagines and Couscous Recipe Book
Jamie Oliver Big Drizzle Oil Bottle
Nandos Hot Peri Peri Sauce 1litre
Hairy Bikers Gravy Jug
Wahaca Pestle and Mortar
Food Nation Tagine with Moroccan Spice Mix
Twinings Tea Tray

And rather randomly thought I'd try some Philosophy products because I found a voucher online for 500 points if I bought 2 or more Philosophy products. They were reduced from £14 each to £7.

Philosophy Sweet Fluffy Cupcake Shampoo, Shower Gel and Bubble Bath 480ml
Philosophy Homemade Pumpkin Pie Shampoo, Shower Gel and Bubble Bath 480ml

There was only a few things that I'd wanted that I couldn't get, a few other perfume gift sets (Valentina, Marc Jacobs Daisy, Michael Kors Glam) but I will try my luck in store on Boxing Day, think I will go there tomorrow to scout out my items!
Very VERY pleased with my purchases! Came away with £20 of points and only spent £320 for all of that (with staff discount)! That's me DONE! I've been waiting MONTHS for that! :T

Good luck, happy bargain hunting and MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE! Have a great one! :beer:

Wow - wot a haul!

Update -
John Lewis sale has some half price Philosophy - just managed to grab 480ml Peppermint Stick for £5.00. :T

Couldn't check out quick enough for the Burts Bees set or the Ted Baker shopper - oh well

I still went out all day and lived my life pretty well after that haul...

I suspect I might go out and live life a bit today too!

just as a matter of interest!

does anyone know!

I went to boots Christmas eve and they had some of the no7 OOTW left, the £32 ones. They weren't there today so will they have gone in to 50%off sale? some of the no7 gift sets were but I couldn't see any of the OOTW ones!

They wouldn't have been reduced by a further 50% - they were about the same price in the sale so can't imagine they've sold many post Christmas.

It may be that they've just cleared the displays of where they were stacked as no longer OOTW.

My store had tons of these left last year when it was the 75% sale!!
