The bronze Sanctuary tins didn't have body lotion in them this year; just two items instead of the usual three; Body wash, body scrub and a shower puff. Know what you mean though; I don't get through the lotions so fast either so like to try and get some sets that are just washes.

I might have a nose out of curiosity in my local when i pop into town. I did my personal indulgent bathing treat before Xmas though with a bottle of Snow Fairy from Lush. Bl00dy expensive for shower gel really but it smells gorgeous and it's only once a year. Last year I got the 1kg bottle...more fool anyone dropping that in their foot in the shower :eek:

Last year at ours, they imposed the 6 item limit when it went 90% off (I got hit because I was buying wrapping paper - nothing outlandish). The cashier at the time said they had imposed it at 70% off (but we hadn't noticed probably because we hadn't bought over the limit).

I also managed to get the gold sanctuary tins, one for my Dad (he loves his sanctuary!) and one for my friend who couldn't get to the sale.

I never use Lush but Philosophy do one called Snow Angel which is very nice too:

When are we expecting it to go to 90% off as the main Llandudno branch had many Zoella advent calendars which could be broken up for gift baskets. Got a Lindt teddy for 90p and some charity cards also for 90p so really pushed the boat out

You'd think they'd just want shut of it all by the time it's 90% so they can use the space.

I returned a couple of things today that I'd bought at 50% off but then managed to get at 70% off. I thought it would be a nice treat for whoever stumbled across them when they were put back on the shelf now they're 70% off someone was going to fall lucky, but no; the assistant put them in a cupboard presumably to return to Boots.com as it was an online order.
Guessing they'll end up in the 50% online sale again later in the year :rotfl:

There were so many Zoella calendars, I did wonder if they'd have to go to 90% off to get rid of them. That's the only point I'd buy one and break it open to put the suitable bits in DD's stocking.

I think it was beginning of Feb last year, not usually anything worth having by then but yeah; you could fall lucky with that one :rotfl:

Popped into my local today, there's about two half length aisles left of stock (stock ok the back and front face of the shelves if that makes sense) lots of fabletics and some random mixes of candles and other odds and sods. Lots of urban apothecary reed diffusers too. Oh and a whole separate display table of Zoella calendars.

I picked up a photo booth prop set for my DB and his family - I often buy something silly for them all to do on Xmas day. I wouldn't have paid £9 but £3 was fine (it was something I'd looked at in the 50% sale). Anyway, I digress, there were several crates behind the checkout marked 'sale return to shelf' so obv stuff is coming back and being put out (including yet another of those bl00dy green calendars :rotfl:)
