true - I've only bought 2 (I think) in all the years I've been Christmas bootsing, and one of them was a hairdryer :rotfl:

ALL items that are offers of the week are also 3 for 2 when they are NOT on offer. The only time you cannot get them 3 for 2 is when they are on offer. Even the Soao and glory bags are 3 for 2 when they are full price. That's if you're silly enough to pay £130 for 2 bags to get the 3rd free.
What a lot of boots regular OOTW stalkers - and include myself in that -hsve learnt yhat if there is no sticker on the item, its more than likely going to be OOTW at some stage. Irishrose22 I haven't been in a store myself yet to see the actual items. But when I am in I will haveca looksie and see if its there.

Lol this made me smile as I was messaging my fella about OOTW and said he had so much to learn about it all! This is now my third year as a OOTW stalker :rotfl:

I saw it last week in store and it did have a present logo I'm afraid (the green present has been changed slightly this year!) suggesting it won't be OOTW.

I posted earlier on this thread (post #44) the gifts which I saw in my small local store which didn't have the present on, hope this helps!

Ohhh:( I was afraid of that. May Get up early on Christmas Eve then to get it half price:rotfl: Thanks for that.

I'm off into town today myself so will call into the boots there and see what is there.

I think this is my 5th year maybe:think:
I've had 4 S&G sets from it and I remember getting 2 FCUK sets 2 different years too. I still have those bags too!
The FCUK sets were 2 different years and I remember they were OOTW AND 3 for 2. Ahhh those were the days:rotfl::o

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who remembers OOTW on 3 for 2 well! I remember 5 maybe 6 years ago getting my sister the Elle McPherson bag and it was OOTW and I got it 3 for 2. When I started my previous job in 2010 I used to check the boots website every week but I didn't start my stalking on here till 2012 or maybe even 2011! I got the S&G gift sets in 2010 and 2011 but I wasn't too keen on it 2012 or 2013 but I like this years so I'll probably end up getting it for myself :rotfl:

I remember the OOTW being on 3 for 2 too...
Those were the days
Elle Macpherson brown boxes & Soap & Glory hatboxes...
The sizes in the soap & Glory OOTW are bigger now though; there were more mini's in them back in those days...


Can't wait for the 70% day

I didn't get last year's S&G set either as I wasn't impressed with it. That and they seemed to be giving less each year.
I'm tempted by this years though as they have more items again, including the Face wipes! I'll wait and see how much it is 1st though.

I was drawn in by the bag last year as wasn't going to bother otherwise!


Do like the box this year too; don't need the stuff though but it gets used eventually!


There was a fair amount of soap & glory left on 70% day at my local store last time - though not the hatbox of course but kinda makes me feel I should wait and see what's left!


I'm not overly fussed about S&G like some people are - the main thing for me about it is the whopping sizes which makes it great value compared to some sets & it goes further still 'cos its good quality.
Apart from that though I'm just as happy with Boots Extracts & some of the other sets really.
I too will see what the price is - guessing in the region of £24 & see - I won't use the mascara so that'll end up on Ebay if I get it.


I really like the Sanctuary range this year - the tins are gorgeous and the £45 set may draw me in if it's on OOTW which it usually is.

What is the double discount day / discount card? Thanks

(Sorry if this is a silly question)

Not a silly question, yes you were right monty, it's a perk for staff and their 2nd card holders when we get double the normal discount rates

Hi, can anyone please tell me how long this offer is on for? I want to get one for my sister.
