Advantage card joy!

I was in Boots just now choosing a pressie for my mother in law. She loves makeup and perfume and all things beaut.ie-ful, so she's easy to buy for. Even so, I dithered between the promotions on offer - if you're buying someone a present you might as well get them a few freebies as well! Would it be Le Gift, or the Elizabeth Arden promotions that are on at the moment, hmmm.

Then, as usual, unable to pass the Clinique counter, I saw that they were offering 1200 points on your Advantage card with the purchase of any 3 skincare products.

With the assistance of the friendly Clinique lady I picked out a bottle of mother in law's favourite Dramatically Different moisturiser, a Stop Signs Hand Repair and a Take the Day off cleansing lotion.

The salesgirl wrapped it all up in fancy cellophane and ribbons - and threw in five free trial size products into the parcel, making a fab present. I've bought similar presents from Clinique before and they always do this, it's really nice.

And then... this is the best bit. Whatever way it worked out I had 1800 extra points on my receipt - not 1200!!

"You have now got €50 to spend on your Advantage card" I was proudly informed.

Hurrah - happy days! And my mother in law loved her present too.
