    Great shop skibster. The Botanics jars would look great individually in cello bags with a little ribbon or in muslin bags. Then you have 3 seperate little gifts.

    You got loads for your money and your pts.:T :T Well done on converting OH as well :cool:

    They would make nice separate gifts (especially if you do a lot of little gifts for teachers or co-workers, etc.), but I think I'll give mine as sets. Unfortunately, I didn't notice the top tub in one of the packs has a dented lid. It doesn't make it hard to open, but it doesn't look as nice. I doubt there will be any left to swap by the next time I go back, so I'll just live with it, lol.

    A note on the Botanics sets: The three jars are stuck together with double-sided sticky pads. I'm not sure it will all come off if I separate them. But you can try removing the bottom one first (tape stuck on the bottom to stick it to the box) and if that doesn't come off, you can just buy a long slim gift bag (or wrap them all in cellophane) and leave them stuck together -- that's if you want to ditch the box, which I do as mine are torn.

    Hi aMeLia'S~MuMMY


    It was in Chester, Foregate street branch. Hope this helps - someone going perfume shopping? :D
    You made the perfume sound as if it smelt so nice...don't get to chester very often...I know that you said you went to a couple...I know you said you went to Chester but wanted to know if it might have been Broughton or Cheshire Oaks I frequent these more often:p )

    Looked for the cool water perfume todat but didn't have small bottle so will hopefully go out tomorrow for a little mooch

    Did manage to spend 10 x £5 No7 vouchers today on various items. SA was fab...voucher would not scan at all ( only had 1 that has scanned...ever) so she had to manually input on each 'shop'

    I remember someone posting about a foundation brush...just to let you knowI got one in Ethel Austin(Revlon one) for 50p..not sure exactly what you do with it though..I have also seen them in Pounland..for guess what... a £1

    Hi, Could someone tell me whether they think a 7/8 year old girl would like the Glitter Babes range please? Or is it for younger girls?

    TIA :)

    Yes, perfect for 7-8. My dds are 11 now, and by the time they were 10 they were starting to think it was a bit young ...now they are getting into No. 7, thanks to the £5 vouchers!!
    Found a Sanctuary Kyphi candle for 1.25 today - unfortunately the last one. Also some Kyphi balm for the same price and some reallly nice orange blosson bath stuff, so quite a good shop.

    picked up some more bargains from piccadilly circus again.
    got some more S&G blueberry thrill just half price and 4 mini pot sof the lomi lomi relaxing body butter at 57p each!
    a new pick up for me was the FCUK pure moisture mist
    ehero.jpg£1 down from £4.
    I like these kind of products, good for very hot weather when you just want a much lighter lotion that won't make you hot and will be absorbed quickly.

    Yep went to the local...
    Thay had the botanics bathroom bliss
    hero.jpg
    for £3.75
    this fcuk lip pumper
    hero.jpg
    for £1.88 ( I think)
    The only reduced S & G was a mini for 50p
    Couple of essentials aromatherapy things reduced and some med and amazon stuff also had med GWp's
    they has LOADS of berry bags and LOADS of sanctuary mothers day brown suede bags they are on the shelves by the holiday minis . They were not on the 'normal shelves' I think Boots are trying to taunt me these are the 2 things I want reduced...but my store has an abundance of them full price !
    Used 10 of the £5 off vouchers all had to be manually be input but SA was great.

    Got some more reduced goodies today but paid cash for them as since I have been reading this thread I've been forgetting I can actually spend my points lol!!

    got
    Botanics Men's shave gel 38p

    Botanics skin brightening deep clean gel x 2 @ 38p(never used before but handy wee size so bought for holidays)

    FCUK men's mini hair gel 43p

    Boots Med Bergamot, olive and orange bath creme £1.25 (I got 4 of the matching body butters in poundland a couple of weeks ago, just realised I should have bought an equal number of the bath cremes as would make great gift!:mad: )

    Boots aromatherapy sleepeasy pillow mist £1.25 I love this but OH has just informed me it smells like foot lotion :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:


    I've never had a problem with using the £5 voucher with No7 or other SAs, twice today I split into two transactions and the vouchers had to be added manually but the SAs were very obliging, think an email of thanks to CS is in order as I didn't getg a survey thingy.

    ALso for anyone wanting them, Little Me organic baby bath stuff gift set was half price @ £5 and Botanics mini's set (damaged packaging) was £2.50

    I certainly like this Morgan perfume - would prob never walk up to it and smell it normally. Have no idea why, tend to orientate towards Cool Water or CK ones. :confused: Anyway, if I see it in Broughton (go there occasionally) I will post on here to let you know. I do know they had reduced S & G Jam Sessions for £2.50 there tho'. :D

    there are none left in the Durham stores either. I heard the No7 SA say to someone that they have run out of the ladies GWP so have replaced it with this one (the pink jewellery box!!). The lady said oh that's nice:rotfl:
    at least I will save some money cos I have enough of those upstairs:rotfl:
    saving for ds2's summer international scout camp - £200
