☕︎ྀི COFFEE TALK. 9/23
- Bath & Body Works New Holiday Signature Fragrance Collection - Touch of Gold - in store 9/25 (front table with Champagne Toast refreshed label)
- Gingerbread Latte Body Care packaging is cute!
☕︎ྀི COFFEE TALK. 9/22
- Rubberized feel Light PINK Hand Soap Decanter Bottle with BOWS and RIBBONS on it coming soon!
- Halloween New Sales Sign in store today: Hand/Bar Soap $3.25, Body Care $5.95, 3 Wick Candles $12.95. everything else Halloween, 50% off
- If you love this -- it may be on its way out. With less and less available in store we may see it sell down or cleared out during a sale. I am currently doing some fall cleaning with my cabinets and closets doing inventory on my now somewhat small stash determining what I want to have a backup bottle off, and what I am done with.
☕︎ྀི COFFEE TALK. 9/17
- Thursday, 9/18 there should be a small floor set (changing of things) and I think that set will be to add anything not out already -- to the milk bar table for the Wide Release of that Collaboration. The 9/13 release was for the Rewards Member Preview.
- We are getting closer to seeing the Holiday Preview Collection of items in stores and online. Anywhere between the 9/25 and 9/29 sets.
- I know it's hard to think of Holiday anything in September, but this isn't really unusual to see these items come out before Halloween.
- Wallflowers 5/$28
☕︎ྀི COFFEE TALK. 9/15
- Customer Service called me today to help me get back on the APP and sadly, after hours of trying to download the iOS17 that is required to run the updated App, I found out that my X phone will no longer get updates past 16 so I will only be able to see rewards via the website. BOO. So disappointing.
- Stores did updates of adding Holiday Preview Single Wick Candles and Air Diffusers today. Not a floor set, but an update for 9/15. ☕︎ྀ
☕︎ྀི COFFEE TALK. 9/14
- Mercari is showing a refresh packaging on the Signature Fragrance Dark Kiss. All of these refreshes keep me on my toes because they all start to look alike - if it is going to happen, I would think it will be for Holiday? Yes?
- And FlorsWorldd on TikTok shared a photo of that little bear pocketbac with the gingham heart that I mentioned was coming. Adorable. These are the little things that I like to grab for addons to gifts, and, of course, for ME! Thanks to both for sharing some great finds! π☕︎ྀ
☕︎ྀི COFFEE TALK. 9/13
A few things to make note of for the day.
- A few of the Holiday Preview items coming out for the (fall 3) preview are starting to show up in some stores who set things out early. I shared two of the pocketbacs already and I heard of a Bear Pocketbac Holder coming with Gingham in the feet. As soon as I heard I thought it could be something for a special event or day, Celebrating the 35 years Birthday...??? I don't yet know for sure. When I know, I do share so all I know is something cute is made and when we could see it is still to be determined.
- Speaking of sharing: I mentioned a few days ago that I will no longer be sharing the Floor Set dates. Mentioning that caused a bit of nonsense on another social site, as per usual, because if I mention something, it needs to be either screen shot, shared and debated erroneously, or reported. Usually, it is all three. From that messy show of utter nonsense to the point some want that site to ban not only my name there but anything I post on the blog from being posted....Haha ---- I find that I need to be more aware of what I am sharing because the minute I hit send/post - someone screen shoots it, and if there is an error, they don't seem to get the correction screen shot that happened right after for when they share weeks later. Especially if I share information as a story on IG and it disappears the next day.
- Years ago, sales were set and we saw them happen. Now, sales are planned and change at the drop of a hat. For varying reasons. The same can be said for Floor Sets. There could be a new set planned over various days (phases) and you will walk into a store and see it days earlier, days later, or not at all. Some stores set things earlier -- (mine don't). By sharing that bit of info, I am only setting myself up for more misery. So rather than get irritated at the commentary it brings, I decided no more lists. There may be a mention of something coming...but not the sets until they happen and I archive the info. And like it was said, my info isn't needed, someone else will share. π
- It was said that there could be --- see that? Could be, should be, may be....such crap. We are now programming ourselves instead of sharing the information we are told as it is going to happen to post a disclaimer on everything. Ugh.
- I've seen it said on TikTok too, when people are sharing info, so they don't have to hear anything from the viewers/readers when something gets changed and the villagers light the torches. π₯
- Anyway, I heard that there is going to be a Fragrance Mist sale and Wallflower sale coming up. 9/15 was on my list originally as something happening but I don't think it's a floor set maybe more a prep for a sale. We will see on Monday.
- I know that there is a Wallflower Weekend sale coming π 9/20 is a weekend and π9/27 is a weekend so we will find out as it gets closer. Some of the New Wallflower Units for Holiday Preview filling the emptying wall areas would be a great companion for the sale. π
- Fall 3 /Holiday Preview releasing in two parts...some items coming 9/25 and then for 9/29 all of the scents we are waiting for will be ready to buy: like Heirloom Rose in Wellness and Touch of Gold /signature collection. I got to smell the Heirloom Rose, and it is beautiful for those who love florals. Even spraying it on a pillow would be great.
- I shopped the New Collab today during the Member APP Preview and the fragrance on me is not something I will be grabbing. It smelled great on the paper test strip. Packaging is cute. There will be a Second release for everyone on September 19th, and any other products not set for today's Preview will be out then. My store did not have the Body Wash out, or the Diamond Shimmer Mist. The Press Release showed a Single Wick Candle, but I don't know if that will come or not. It was mentioned in the press releases that they will be doing a second collab release for Holiday. The names that have been floating around are the scents coming and I look forward to trying those as well. ☕︎ྀ
