Thanks so much, I did this today and bought a variety of gift sets, i did it 3 separate times and it was no problem.

I have 3 newborns to give them to but no idea what to do with the other 6...hmmm might just be time to start planning baby number 2 !!!

thanks again, you've got my vote for post of the month.

Who says you cant use these toiletries on your own skin!

Also any extra sets you could donate to school/church raffles/tombolas, always loads at this time of the year.

I told my friend at work yesterday and she didnt believe me ,so when we got to Birmingham I took her to boots and we both picked up 3 set and yes at the till we paid £4.98, she couldnt believe it, so as we had cleared the shelf in the small boots we went to a larger branch and did it again, in the large Boots in Birmingham they werent marked 3 for 2 or half price so noone else knew....ha ha.... when we got to the till the lady gave us a gift bag of free Chanel samples as well as the £5 gift vouchers.
So today I wanted some make up remover which was £4 so I bought 3 more sets, used my 10% off voucher (which i found yesterday) total £3.98 with 539 points and then bought my make up remover with my points, so I still only spent £4 but had £34 of goodies to bring home....good old Boots

I may look out for these tomorrow when in Boots, Just out of Curiosity do you have to get the 500 Bonus points from an Advantage machine, and do you get one voucher for every £10 spend or just one if you say spent £30.00 ?

Thanks

500 points get added automatically at the till and I think you only get one voucher per transaction

You and me both!!
I was going to go in on saturday, with my hubby, and then bottled it and said, "what if it doesn't work, and I end up paying £30+ for sets I wouldn't usually buy", then said stuff it, and went in yesterday. When I got there, it was quite late, about 4.30pm, there wasn't much stock left (should have gone in sat!!) and just gave them to the lady. Said nowt, saw her looking at the receipt and till, but with it being quite late, she obviously couldn't be midered to say anything. I just payed, smiled and winked at the hubby!! Now I have the Keepsake set for my neice, soon to be God-Daughter, towards her christening present, the Pamper gift set, for a friend in work, who is due to leave in a couple months on maternity, and who has been such a great support to me and well deserves it, and the last set is for me and my children to enjoy!!
Meanwhile my Boots points are slowly creeping back up nicely!
Many thanks to the OP and also to Boots

Cheers :beer:
