Sara Griffiths has just reminded us. I have never been impressed with any of the Q sales; it is, imo, n opportunity to get rid of surplus/end of line stock, at prices which are more akin to IP, and not clearance prices. Whenever any of our products go into clearance, it is because that particular model is being discontinued.
Boxig Day, and the sale HAS started!

My mum really wants a bottle of Vera Wang Princess. Got a 100ml bottle half price on Boots.com. She is over the moon...having dropped loads of hints when doing our christmas shoooing but could not afford the full price. I told her it's going under my bed for her birthday anf she should use the next few months to finish off her old stuff!

Visit.Westfield is on my doorstep but gets too crowded.
£4 seems to be the average reduction on QVC items, I think I saw one item with free P&P as well...........

I didn't brave the sales as I felt unwell, and I am glad now having seen the news! I bought trainers online (£22!!) instead and preserved my sanity! I don't want anything else, so that's my sale shopping done :mysmilie_59:
Oh the Lulu Guinness sale is on for those interested. Started Christmas Eve but there is still quite a bit left.

You beat me to it ! One example is that range of painted leather bags at about £50 a pop. Absolutely horrendous IMO and as far as I can remember it must be over a year since they last saw daylight.

Some of the dresses have good reductions but in my opinion were overpriced to start with.

if your on about Anuschka they have been on quite a bit recently with all new items ect
I wondered if you'd got anything from LG sale! Thankfully nothing caught my eye either (well, LOTS caught my eye but no matter how much I love those Perspex clutches they really are for posing with and admiring only) However I got one of her passport holders half price in House Of Fraser sale which I'm chuffed with :mysmilie_59:

I was swamped with body creams, shower stuff, face stuff etc for Christmas. A huge Soap and Glory set, a huge L`Occitane shea set and a huge Boots No 7 face creams set plus other stuff. I won`t need to stock up for quite some time and already have a stash in my wardrobe from before Christmas. This year I didn`t get any perfume from people but I`m glad because I dislike so many of them and usually give them to charity shops after Christmas. It was a perfect excuse to order some of my favourite perfume online on Boxing Day. I also ordered some trousers from Dorothy Perkins which were in the sale. Other than that I`ve spent nothing and didn`t spend a penny with Q pre Christmas so I certainly won`t be entertaining their so called sales.

LG sale handbags seem more expensive this year, I treated myself to a Mary Portas leather one half price from House of Fraser if I don't like it I will send it back.
I have today finished my sales shopping. I did rather OD on reduced Marc Jacobs sets but otherwise stuck to the list. MB, L'Occy, Decleor large size cleanser , toner and perfume sets are my big purchases, plus reduced scarves in M&S. All purchased. The DHS wasn't too bad where I was (Wimbledon yesterday and Kingston today) and I got the rest online from JLP as click and collect, one down two to go!
I am not into spending money, full stop! Even if I was, the sales would be a no go for me, as a shopper, as I am working all over the period, as are we all at work due to the sales, ironically. I do need some new clothes, but it will be online shopping, Abercrombie & Fitch, Boden and Ralph Lauren. Even if I was into Kim & Co, Nina Leonard, or Quacker Factory, they don't do my size. I question whether the Q has actually grasped the definition of the word sale.
