Sephora Holiday Gratis 2022!!!

[heartsmyface]

Holiday Greetings to the lovely people of BIC whichever holiday you celebrate! 

As many of you are aware, @TeamBIC has this naughty little habit of turning into a bunch of festive elves and spoiling a random number of active BIC community contributors with a surprise holiday treat come this time of year!  Yeah the imagery is there of TeamBIC in pointy green hats making the magic happen while sipping on hot cocoa.

I’m sure all of you are eager to see what they’ve been up to this season!  I know I am!  They never fail to impress me with their creative box designs (my inner cat loves the boxes as much as the contents) Of course the contents are always wonderful too;);)

This thread is for expressing your community excitement, making wild or educated sleuthed-out guesses as to what could be inside  and for sharing with the community, photos of any gifts you receive, and also for congratulating other community members on their awesome luck and for making BIC the beauty haven it is!   

And once people have had a chance to try out their…ahhhh thé suspense is too much!!!😝, this is a great place to both write and read the best quality product reviews!  It doesn’t get more honest than from the mouths of BIC members you talk to everyday and who know exactly what kind of information you like!  It’s also a great place to ask questions on any products members have received and know you’ll get a speedy response!

I look forward to seeing all the photos

posted as members receive and open boxes, sharing in the joy and witnessing how everyone’s surprises work for them!

Speaking of gratis that works for me, I have been wearing the Kilian Apple Brandy fragrance from last year all week!!!  A continuous thank you to @TeamBIC for every single time I smell like spicy mince meat tarts🥰🥰🥰🥧

Also, I heard someone say today they finished their holiday shopping.  Show of hands, who’s finished or, ahem… started their holiday shopping?  😆✋🏻 I started and am nowhere near finished status; as collected and organized as that would be.

@Kim888  I have four people taken care of and they’re not the main people in my life.  Ha, I’ve got to get on it!   Thanksgiving!!!  Yum!  are you doing the whole Turkey thing? 

[Kim888]

@heartsmyface @Yes -I’m heading to my parents so I’ll do the turkey thing there! Though I really like all the sides better haha 

[heartsmyface]

@Kim888 Mmmmmm sweet potatoes drowned in Turkey gravy!

I’m done with my holiday shopping. Hopefully don’t need to get anything else. 

[Saradestin]

That’s impressive @SportyGirly125 ! You are very organized and that will take all stress away from you! That’s awesome. Congratulations for that! 👍

[Indy701]

Wow!  I’m impressed. I’ve barely started and my list is short this year due to family opting out of gifts. 

[SportyGirly125]

@Indy701 I got 2 gifts sent out before the holiday rush and the rest are for friends and my kiddos teachers. 

[heartsmyface]

@SportyGirly125  Oh my!  I’m jealous! How is it even possible I’m so behind?  I love to shop! I should have this! 

[SportyGirly125]

@heartsmyface I’m always on the lookout for gift ideas/gifts. This year was just easier for me than normal for some reason.

Ooooh @heartsmyface my excitement level is over the moon!!! Congratulations to everyone who is receiving this gratis 🙌🏼🥳

I am meeting a friend tomorrow to do some shopping, does that count? Because I am sooooo far behind this year; usually by Thanksgiving it is just stocking stuffers 🤫

I have been wearing that Kilian as well, the first time I used it this fall my daughter informed me it was ‘infamous’ because it reminded her of last Christmas 🎄 So now it feels officially holiday season!!

I also feel a little bit like Piglet right now.

 

[heartsmyface]

@eshoe  Yay!! It totally counts!  I DO have stocking stuffers nearly complete… it’s the main gifting I’m behind with.  husband? Yeah I have no idea cause he doesn’t ever want something and not immediately buy it for himself.  It’s frustrating this time of year 

[makeitup305]

@heartsmyface what's he into? maybe we can groupthink it 😉 I bought my dad an Ember mug last year and that was a total hit. He's notoriously difficulty to buy for (never wants anything either) but he uses it every day. He's even mentioned/humble bragged about it to friends. I have one and love it.

[heartsmyface]

@makeitup305Computer security, samurai swords, building drones for various activities, knives, any upcoming tech to dismantle to find weaknesses, production and entertainment…Star wars.  Tequila!  

[makeitup305]

@heartsmyface @Would he be into a Star Wars Lego set? There are tons of them, even some for helmets and figures you can display. Idk how old your kids are but if could be something for them to do together? They also sell “real” lightsabers so you could get one from his favorite character. They’re pretty cool, not gonna lie. Could be a gift certificate to an ax throwing place if there is one near you and you can make it a date night. If he uses his computer heavily for production, and it’s a custom build, you could update his graphics card or get him a bespoke keyboard. A fancier camera or a new soldering kit for drone building? A 3D printer if you’re feeling extra? Hope I sparked an idea! He already has you so anything else I’m sure is just a bonus 😉

[heartsmyface]

@makeitup305  Your list is so hilariously on point for great ideas for him if he didn’t literally buy everything! He owns all the real light sabres, all the wearable helmet replicas, all the larger Lego kits in boxes,  ha he would chuckle if i tried upgrading any of his computers given what he does for a living(actually he’d like that too much cause he’d think he was converting me and I have been resistant to date) we have a whole 3D printing workshop full of printers, a drone building area, a drone storage room, an arcade, a radio frequency room, the boys were all gifted their own soldering guns and tables so they wouldn’t touch any of his.  Ha, he’s extra all on his own- I don’t need to add to it.    I’m terrified to bring up axe throwing cause he may decide he wants to buy his own axes and create his own axe throwing area.  Legit concern.   you know we have a nerf armoury right?  Let’s keep the happy violence safe.  😂
You’re on the right track with the geekiness though! 

[makeitup305]

@heartsmyface @I totally missed the nerf armory comment lol that’s hilarious. I’m sure once you bring up something like ax throwing you can’t take it back. 

[makeitup305]

@heartsmyface lol! That's so funny. I see why you're struggling. An activity maybe? Pay for a forging class for him and the kids (depending on age ofc)? A Star Wars themed decanter? A cool LED sign for the shop? Instead of a big present just lots of small ones like lightaber chopsticks or funkopop? A slave leia costume? Lol

[heartsmyface]

@makeitup305  ahhhh slave leia!  You know that’s my actual name but spelled differently right?  Hahah, omg no.  I refuse unless he agrees to dress as Jabba- then we can negotiate.  But sexy wookie… I’m down for that! 😂 

[makeitup305]

@heartsmyface no! I had no idea! That’s too funny! have you seen The Child sunglasses? They’re hilarious. 

[heartsmyface]

@makeitup305 I could get one of the kids to wrap me up wearing a Dalmatian outfit with a no returns receipt.  😆

a wine subscription could be neat.  I’m at such a loss.  

[makeitup305]

@heartsmyface  A boozy advent calendar? There’s a tequila one from The Spirit Co.
