    Still haven't managed to get to my nearest Boots, but walked through the big town centre one again today. They've more left than I previously thought because they'd moved the Fabletics and Lucy M stuff to another gondola near the tills. I then counted 50+ Zoella calendars and when I walked towards the door spotted another shelf full so around 70ish left in that store.

    I was in Boots today and as I love Liz Arden makeup and the huge gift sets are £56 and 3 for 2 so that is me sorted for my makeup and for gifts for the next year. I will split them up and make little gift baskets.:j They are supposed to be worth £350 each:p

    Managed to call in my local Boots today. Just one end gondola left, Fabletics, Lucy M, a handful of cosmetic bags and 8 (I counted them!) Zoella calendars.

    I'm not sure anyone is going to want the Fabletics an Lucy M even at 90%!! The calendars yes but that stuff just doesn't seem to be shifting :huh:

    I won't trust stuff like that personally as it tends to be cheap tat sold under a recognised name, it's not stuff you can try as it's only sold in gift sets so that's probably why :cool::o

    Plus most people who go to the gym have water bottles galore which one of the sets has - and it's a cheap plastic one at that.

    I did think that, people who go to the gym, probably already have the stuff and people who don't, well you could cause offence by getting them a gym related gift set, that leaves people who've said they want to start and as something for yourself. It's probably a limited market compared to other products.

    Or like me never heard of this brand and looks cheap, like something you could buy at H B for £2.99. Not a great present and not something I would buy for myself.

    Those sets are all that was really left in Cheltenham's store too. Anyone have any ideas as to when the sale goes up to 90% off?
