Oh poo, I only just found out about this just now! I hope there's something left when I go tomorrow (in Exeter). Anyone know whether it's already cleaned out, so I can decide whether to go or not?

Nothing over £20 left in Exeter I'm afraid.

Well, I decided to give the main Edinburgh branch a miss (Princes St) and went to the other branch in Ocean Terminal instead. I arrived about 9.25 to discover they didn't open till 10.00, so sat outside and did some knitting (wish I'd brought knitting to the Next sale queue yesterday!) and the very friendly Lush staff gave me a cup of coffee, lol. About a dozen other folk turned up and at 9.55 the manageress came out and explained to us all how the offer worked and to point out where in the shop the main gifts were. I'd already spotted their one and only Lush Legends in the window and I was first in the queue and first in the door, so grabbed that and a Winter Wonderland, yeah!!!

So I'm well chuffed...I stocked up with £30 of the products I would normally buy over the next three months or so anyway and I got £140 or so in freebie stuff! The Winter Wonderland is for my niece because she babysat for me today while I went out sales shopping, and she's thrilled to bits with it. And I'll keep the big box. (Apart from all the Ballistics, which my kids will pinch I expect.)

So THANKS VERY MUCH, Saintscouple, for starting this thread and making me aware of this rather amazing deal. I don't normally get big treats like this. :beer: :T :beer:

Went to the Victoria stn one first. The staff werent friendly and when I asked about the offer they made me feel as though I was stealing. Ran towards the 100 pounds hat box one, but they said it wasnt included. Didnt check sticker so it might have been. if anyone near victoria it might be worth checking that one out.

Went to Carnaby street though and got Winter Wonderland. Very pleased. They had loads left. The staff were really lovely and pointed out the more expensive boxes to get free.

Thanx to the poster who mentioned Carnaby street as I wouldnt have bothered going there.

That's odd about victoria - like most people said here the staff are really helpful usually - shame they were less so...the staff at wimbledon were telling em the best ones to get! As far as i know the £100 one is included...but i'm not sure. The main rules seem to be if they were part of the xmas range.

All the items included had a white sticker on the back (not the round yellow "made on..." sticker). It wasn't only gifts that were included, as I said in my last post. I got a free Gorgeous moisturiser (£35).

I love the Lush sale!!

Peterborough Lush had the pink hat boxes but decided to take them all out the back before they opened!
Managed to get a £30 and a £20 box though so really pleased.
As previos post said - don't forget that you can also get the expensive face creams and other things as long as made before 1 Dec.
Sale is not on line as they told me that they don't have old stock to get rid of there.

Do they tend to restock as this sale is on for a good while yet.
Also how long will these items keep, long enough to gift out during next year do you suppose?

I think if the gift box included any of the fresh type products in the black plastic tubs, these won't keep. I can't imagine that things like Ballistics would go off in a year however, if you kept them somewhere cool and dry. Usually there's a "Use By" on most cosmetics these days, not just Lush.

Other thought would be to use the products now then refill the gift box for next Christmas?
