The last of the Advent Calendars
If you were eyeing up a pricey advent calendar a couple of weeks ago but couldn’t justify the price tag, you might get lucky. As retailers try to banish the last of the Christmas stock, some of our favourites have tanked prices. Rituals' The Ritual of Advent Calendar is just €33.95 (was €67.95) on LookFantastic.ie and includes 24 mini treats from the luxury brand.
On revolutionbeauty.com, you can get all of the brand’s advent calenders for 70% off the retail price. Over at Littlewoods Ireland, the Beauty Pro 12 Days of Christmask Advent Calendar is just €29.99 (originally €47.99) while the Oh K! Let It Glow Holiday Mask Set is €12 (originally €15) on thbeautybasket.ie . The Baylis & Harding Signature Assorted 12 Days Of Christmas advent calendar is just €14.35 on asos.com (originally €56.99).
Face masks were the must-have accessory of 2021, and as Covid-19 cases surge, it looks like they’re here to stay in 2022. The FFP2 respiratory masks seem to be the most effective on the market presently, but a lack of supply means they’re being sold at inflated prices, like antigen tests and hand sanitisers were before them. We’ve found the FFP2 masks in-stock and at a reasonable price on healthwave.ie where you can get a box of 5 for €3.95 (approximately 80c each) and fitzmedicalsupplies.ie where you can get a box of 30 for €29.52 (approximately 99c each).
