TBH 70% of it is the same old rubbish year on year, they seem to change only the packaging and the price, there's been no imagination in Boots' Christmas gifts for about 5 years now, whoever is in charge of it wants sacking.

I have to agree. Already told myself I will not be waiting for the sale this year or spending money...

Me neither, I got a few bits last year from Sanctuary and a couple of gifts to give as presents during the year but I'm not doing that this time, I'll save my money for the Lancome offers at Debenhams and House of Fraser lol!

I do agree, it seems the Christmas 3 4 2 gifts year in and out are the same as the year before but in different packaging. Why don't Boots try to mix it up a little.

Then they wouldn't be 'events' at all in my eyes, glad they've kept them, they probably realised what a huge profit they make on these nights!

To me they're not events, they are just opportunities to rip us off. If you don't need it, it's not a bargain.

Which is why the invitation for yesterday's Christmas launch in Westfield, E20 was consigned to the recycling bin and the date forgotten until I read this thread.

I also had a booklet with the above in. The 25% off a Christmas gift voucher didn't appear to have any special T&Cs about not using it with star gifts, only that you can use it on anything with the green parcel sticker, so may be able to get a bargain with that?

Star gifts usually do not have a green parcel sticker on, so they would be excluded.

I personally use the events to stock up on high value items I want for then or need through the year e.g. razor blade cartridges and Oral B brushheads, this year I also want a new camera so will be researching the best price and buying during a Boots event if it makes financial sense.
