Just to let you know that the £52 Est!e Lauder set has content worth £180.
Last years cost £50 and had £250 worth of content.
That said, I'll still be buying one for my wife!

And it's available at that price when you buy 2 Est!e Lauder items, one (I think) has to be skincare

Thanks I clearly didn't read it properly I was just flicking threw the book. I had another look and it's £52 if you buy a fragrance. I think I'll give it a miss and get the Elizabeth Arden one instead which is worth £300 and you get it for £50 if you spend £30 on Elizabeth Arden (I think it's skincare, says one item of skincare online but the book says £30)

This is an offer of the week as opposed to the weekly star but thought it worth a mention as if you buy three you get 1500 advantage points.

Also a £5 discount with £50 spend or an extra 1000 points with a £60 spend - both codes on code board

I don't think the parcel on the label has that much to do with it as the gifts I've bought in the past on offer of the week have always had the green parcel label on them - I think the initial stock for 3for2 have the green parcels on but the mass deliveries of the offer of the week stock don't.

I'm guessing the Jack Wills Bag will be on Offer of the week as they are over priced at £65.00 - just like a lot of the gifts.

The highlight for me is the 70% sale & worth holding off for unless it's something you're really set on getting something...

Over the past few years on here and elsewhere that's how we have been right. The OOTW has no presents on the labels no matter when they are delivered. This has been the same year after year for a while now.

I'll be happy to admit I'm wrong in this if I am proved wrong, but many of us have gone by this method of guessing and we've not been wrong yet

All the OOTW I have bought over the years have never had a green parcel on them even back when I got OOTW 3 for 2 lol

Whatever the case may be - not suggesting you or anyone else is wrong.
Just going on the gifts I've bought in the past still having the parcel on them - I always go to the shelf rather than the floor stock.
Boots don't need to worry about the parcel tags as there is always POS on the shelves stating 3for2 doesn't apply.

I'm planning on taking my bil shopping to the boots event, 30th Oct. He has very limited mobility so we'll only get one chance to shop. If the items we want aren't there can we order in store and still get the 1200 points per 50? Tia.

IMO they always tend to have the £50 spend offer online too, they hold it on the same day as the instore spend offer happens so you'll be able to order online that day but wont be able to pick up the items that day, which could be a mixed blessing depending on if you like queues, crowds and free Bucks Fizz...

Hi, just to say that the online spend is normally £75 rather than £50, If I am ordering I normally buy any toiletries I need alongside Christmas gifts and its surprising how easily you rack up £75!
Just to say also I am surprised that this weeks Joules bag has not yet sold out, I had mine delivered yesterday and the bag is lovely and you also get a £10 voucher off a £40 spend in Joules - the bag and contents are well worth £22(rather than £45 usual price)

From memory, the online points event is £12 worth of points for every £70?? Spent.
£70 might not be correct, but it's definitely more than £50

Thanks for replies.
The online offer does seem to be higher spend for less points. Tbf, I didn'T check on the last event days so maybe it changed for those two days.

As he doesn't get out much I am keen to go to the shop. He loves the crowds, queues and 'experience' and no matter how busy it is now, it's nothing compared to Christmas so is still better for us to go now. I'm just worried we won't be able to get it all in one go which is what I need really. (Not least why we're going to Boots as there is such a variety. )
I think I'll ring later and see what they say.
