Boots has brought back its “star gifts” promotion to give shoppers early discounts on all things Christmas, whether it’s advent calendars or stocking fillers.
Every two weeks, the retailer will drop new products on the virtual shelves and some of the deals are “better than half price” including the Macmillan 24 Doors of Joy Advent Calendar (now £44, was £90) and Laura Ashley Timeless Luxuries Collection (now £29.50, was £60).
But shoppers have to act fast because the discounts are only while stocks last, meaning when it’s gone, it’s gone. Advantage card members also get to collect points along with purchases. We have selected some gifts that are perfect for now and Christmas.
The Macmillan advent calendar has been the most popular one, with more than 100 purchases made in the last 24 hours, customers can get a range of No7 skincare, Liz Earle’s popular face wash range and Soap & Glory hero products and more.
On skincare, Olay’s Super Powered Duo Gift Set, £36.50, is an anti-ageing must-have, the Regenerist Niacinamide SPF 30 Day Cream and Retinol24 Night Cream work perfectly to firm skin and visibly reduce fine lines and leave your skin smooth and glowing.
The set works out cheaper than buying them separately and it saves you £38.50. One five-star shopper shared: “The retinol cream is gentle on skin and I use this every night and have noticed huge improvement. I also like to use the day cream as it comes with SPF.”
Planning on buying gifts or snapping up a bargain on bodycare essentials for the man in your life? The Star Gifts section has a few options that come with a free bag that’s perfect for weekend getaways or the gym.
Champneys’ Weekender Bag and Toiletries, £50, features two hair & body washes and two deodorant sprays as well as a stylish holdall bag in sage grey. The gift is ideal for someone who is always on the go.
For winter warmers, the Osprey Executive Organiser is an absolute bargain. Shoppers can get a scarf, a pair of gloves, a body wash and an after-shave balm – all for £34.50. The Lyle & Scott Winter Edit, £24.50, includes a scarf, a travel mug and a perfume.
If you are on the lookout for more gifts and advent calendars, LookFantastic and Escentual have stocked multiple beauty brands.
Kiehl’s Open For Advent-ure advent calendar is filled with 24 skincare favourites in various sizes from the renowned brand, including the cult-favourite Ultra Facial Cream, Calendula Deep Cleansing Facial Wash, the anti-ageing Super Multi-Corrective range and more.
