    I am wanting to get my oh some cool waters for his christmas as he is running out but i have 2 dilemmas.

    first, Do i buy the Aftershave or the EDT. He currently has the normal afterhsave bottle.

    Secondly, Do i go for the normal Aftershave bottle or do i go for the gift set with the Aftershave Spray.

    I thought the gift set looked nice but I'm not keen on it having a spray in it and if i get the normal aftershave i can use the £5 off fragrance voucher.

    Sorry for going on. Any advice or comment would be gratefully received.

    Edited- He does not wear it everyday its just for if we are going for a night out, meal etc. or when we go away for a long weekend just the 2 of us.

    Hi Crazyposhgal

    I too think that the aftershave/perfume sets always look really nice as a gift - but whenever I received one I have found that I have never used the body lotion or shower gel that has come with the perfume.

    I think it would be nice if you could get your husband the aftershave that he normally uses and use the £5 money off voucher - that way with the £5 you could treat him to some toffee, fudge or chocolate from thorntons. It would be a little bit extra for him and he would probarbly appreciate it more than shower gel or similar that he may or may not use.

    Hope this helps

    Vicky

    EDT is a little bit stronger than aftershave, so should last longer.

    I have to say the men ive allways come accross tend to prfer the spray.
    but i agree about the body lotion/shower gel comment,the gift sets are nice but save a fiver and spend it on something else he likes!

    Couldn't find what is the FREE gift you get with selected Botanics purchase. Anyone knows? Or - even better - has the link to this gift?

    Went into Romford AGAIN to get a refund of t+g minis - thier card system went down today, so the SA wrote on there that she didn't give me a refund etc etc, and the girls today had no idea who it was, so refused me a refund ¬¬ Got another Sactuary voucher though lying on the floor ^^


    Martin's on ITV now as well, so i'm engrossed

    It was a pack of wipes but that seems to have ended now.
