Boxing Day sale haul!! Boots, Yankee Candle, River Island.

Happy New Year!! Wow, It's been a while since I've posted on here, I will be putting up a lot more this year.Anyway, decided to go Boxing day shopping and got a few goodies. Did some online shopping too so I will maybe do another haul, especially as I got some online Lush purchases!!

First place I went was River Island, I was desperate for a new handbag and purse. Sadly there were no purses on sale that I wanted, and no clothes I was really that interested in. However I ended up buying 2 bags as I couldn't resist, plus had a £28 voucher so these bags cost me £12!! I had been eyeing up the black one all year but didn't want to pay £37, then I saw the beige version and they were £20 each, such a bargain.

As you can see both are quite similar. Both are quite large bags and have a small handle although inside you can connect a large long handle if you want it over your shoulder. Black one is a fake crocodile print and the brown is plain with black details. I'm so in love with them!!

Next stop was Boots. I got here quite late as was looking around the other clothes shops, however did manage to get a few nice things. They had lots of non Christmas Yankee candles on sale which made me very happy and there were loads of gift sets left.

Here are all my candles I bought. So firstly I got this pretty Christmas tree glittery candle for half price at £4 and I will save this for next year. Then I picked up 2 Yankee candle Black coconut small jars, as I have never tried it before and it smells really nice , although I will keep one as a gift. Then I picked up a pack of tea lights as I am so into them right now. Then finally a White gardenia Yankee Candle small jar, which is a beautiful strong white floral scent. The small jars were  originally £8.39 so were half price at £4.20, tea lights were originally £6.99 so I got them for £3.50. Don't you love when you get half price non Christmas candles?!

Here are some random bits I picked up at boots. Starting with some lovely teal and gold bows and curling ribbon from £2 to a £1. A beautiful Sanctuary body gift set with a shower loofah, gentle body polish scrub, silky smooth body lotion and bursting body wash. It was £8.00 down to £4.00. I only bought it as I really liked the cute vintage bag it was in!! The bath products my mum wants :) I also got 2 soap and glory baubles with the ' Great kisser ' peach flavour lip balms. I will probably save these for next Christmas gifts as they were only £2.50 from £5.00.. too cute to miss. Does anyone else do that?!

Last but not least from Boots I got a lovely Perfume gift set which was I think a 1/3 off making it just over £33. ( Sorry the machine I went to wasn't giving out receipts!! ) It is Gucci Premiere gift set, including a 50ml Eau De Parfum plus a 100ml lotion. Thought this was a good price for a good brand and I bought it without smelling it. Thankfully it smells really nice like an elegant blend of florals, perfect for the day.

Next was Yankee Candle. There wasn't a huge sale on at Yankee Candle, lots of things were 25% off but they only had 3 scents of large jars at £12 instead of £19.99. They were Cinnamon Stick, Cranberry Ice and Christmas Eve. I went for Christmas Eve as I only have a small jar and I LOVE IT. I also got 2 Snow in love tarts for 94p rather than £1.49 as I thought they were appropriate for Valentine's Day. 

I also noticed they had the new spring Yankee scents!! I went for Aloe Vera which is a soft, fresh slightly watermelon smelling tart, plus Red Raspberry which basically smells of sweet raspberries. They had more but these were the ones that stood out. In me and my sisters bag the lovely lady threw in 3 Candy Cane Lane tarts and 1 Cranberry Ice tart for free as it was Christmas!! Clinton's had 50% off Christmas Candles but I have SO many I was only on the look out for Sugared Apple which they didn't have. :(

This is the last of the haul, these are all the random little bits from different shops thrown together. Debenhams, Sainsburys, Monsoon & Tkmaxx.

Tkmaxx didn't really have a lot in the sale, I did however find this Aromatherapy Associates mini bath and shower oil kit. It was £16 reduced from £33. I noticed that 4 of the oils were empty or half empty which I was really disappointed with especially as it came shrink wrapped. So it ended up going back as it isn't worth £16 for 5 full oils.

How cute are these?! I had been looking at these in Monsoon for ages and finally grabbed them when they were half price. I got two key rings, an Owl and a Hedgehog both at £4 reduced from £8. I will probably give the hedgehog as a gift but I have to keep the owl for myself!! Then I got a little robin decoration for £2.50 rather than £5. These are all really good quality and sturdy and make a fabulous gift.

Last but not least is the final 2 candles. The first is Christmas Spice which was half price at Sainsbury's for £1.75, which will probably be a gift for next Christmas as it smells amazing like sweet cinnamon. Then in Debenhams I picked up some Yankee Candle Snowflake cookie tea lights as I wanted a large jar but these were only 30% and tarts, votives and tea lights were 50% off. I love tea lights and these smell like sweet sugar cookies, you really can't go wrong.

Thanks for reading!! Please let me know what bargains you found in the Boxing Day sales and if you liked anything I purchased.
