Also, they test on animals, so something to bear in mind.

Not for cosmetics sold in the UK they don't.

Unless there's a link to the contrary.

We shall see...
9 more weekends to go...
Next week we already know will be Ted Baker Make up
Then there's likely to be the following based on previous years (in no particular order)....

FCUK Women's set
Sanctuary Set
Champney's bag set (highly over priced at £50 & not a nice bag in my opinion)
There's usually a make up set such as Front cover or Soap & Glory (maybe they're doing the Ted Baker instead?)
No7 Gift Box (guessing will be the final Friday)
Soap & Glory (prob Friday before the No7)
Ted Baker Bath & Body set??


By no means set in stone & there's room for a couple more in there....
I'm assuming the hairdryers etc will be a separate electrical OOTW...

Soap and Glory is usually the2nd last OOTW. Always comes out when we travel to see the in-laws with their gifts. Usually around the 12-13th of the month.

I'll have to go search for my post again way back in the thread where I posted pics of what I think will be OOTW when I went on a parcel tag hunt the other week lol

Hi yes you are right, as mentioned above No7 will be the last Friday and so not a full week & Soap & Glory will be the one before That.

9 more Fridays until Christmas, so 8 more OOTW/ Star Gift!
Exciting!
I think I am going to go for the Soap& Glory set this year. I have never tried their sets, but it all looks great and I know a lot of people on here like it!

Hope people keep posting when they get their sneak peeks of the flyers for the week Thank you to those!

The Soap and glory sets are great and I do invariable get the OOTW each year but more and more I have noticed that there is a few bits that I do not use and seem to 'pay for' within the big box but never use so wasting money and whether it would be better to just by the 3 4 2 offers for the actual items I do use?

Obviously the canvas bag etc it comes in is lovely but that also really never gets used must have a closer look at how to price up the items within the box that I do use versus the ones I don't:D

It was the wipes, body washes and moisturises that swayed me this year, plus the half price or less is good.
But yeah, that is what has put me off the other years. But this year I have run out of everything!

Hi everyone, i was a boots weekly ootw lurker all last xmas and i thankyou all for the heads up on all the gifts!

re the jack wills bag, i did ask boots on fb last week if it will be on offer and thought i'd share the response :-)

"Ooh I'd have to go into hiding if I told you that Gemma...

We don't actually get advance warning of the Star Gifts but I'd be very surprised if we didn't do it at some point this year Fingers Crossed!

Many thanks"

See this is my gripe again What about the people who don't/can't use apps??

You know I feel that strongly about it I'm going to send a complaint off about this to let my feelings be known. I don't think it's fair on those who can't afford a mobile phone/smartphone, it's certainly discriminating against old people.
I'm going into Boots today too. Think I'll see if I can have a word with someone who is in charge too

I'm not an old person but I dont own a smartphone. I use the laptop to go online. Does that mean I wont be able to get any boots vouchers/offers from now on?

No. You just log on to your boots account on the boots website and select "My account" then "My offers" and you can see them there and load them to your advantage card
