Anyone looking for a last-minute present might want to consider the discount store
People looking for a last-minute bottle of perfume to gift this Christmas without scrimping on quality might be checking all the usual beauty stores. But people could get their hands on some designer products for a fraction of the cost when shopping at Home Bargains.
In most Home Bargains stores, a section of perfumes and aftershaves will be available at discounted prices compared to other beauty retailers like Boots and Superdrug. The cabinet caters to both men and women, featuring a variety of popular designers.
One product that stands out on the Home Bargains website is the 100ml Vera Wang Princess EDT, selling elsewhere for up to £66 at major stores. Home Bargains is selling the ‘iconic’ fruity and floral scent for £20.99, saving shoppers nearly £40.
The website description reads: “Vera Wang Princess is a fruity, floral fragrance that is a blend of vanilla and pink guava. The chunky heart-shaped bottle has a gold crown cap containing a hidden treasure – a keepsake gold band studded with tiny amethyst-coloured crystals.”
There were more deals on perfumes from designers like Calvin Klein Sheer Beauty EDT (100ml). The fragrance is normally worth £62 for this large bottle, but can be claimed for £26.99 at Home Bargains. The fruity fragrance blends bellini, jasmine, and musk for what designers call a “captivating scent that lingers beautifully”.
Home Bargains is also selling the Calvin Klein Euphoria EDP Gift Set 30ml for £29.99, which comes with a matching body lotion. A further option is a 100ml bottle of Clinique Happy, which is available for £25.99, instead of £75.
Another top designer perfume at an affordable price is Estee Lauder’s Youth Dew EDP 67ml, which is normally worth £60 but is reduced to just £22.99 at the bargain store. Customers can also get Jimmy Choo EDP 40ml for £27.99 – down from £51.
For people who are fans of Britney Spears’ Fantasy perfume range, the Hidden Fantasy Eau De Parfum (100ml) has been knocked down from its usual £40 value to just £12.99. The deep red bottle, covered with sparkling stone accents, blends a mix of zesty citrus with sweet florals and warm vanilla for a “touch of fun”.
It’s not just the ladies who benefit from the fragrance cabinet in Home Bargains, as there are plenty of deals under £30 that could be gifted to men from top designers at bargain prices. The biggest discount, according to the Home Bargains website, is the “bold” 1110ml Aramis Aramis EDT with 73% knocked off its massive £72 price tag to just £18.99 at Home Bargains.
Other stand-out options include a 50ml bottle of Calvin Klein’s Be (reduced from £36 to £12.99). There are also some celebrity-made options too, such as David Beckham’s Follow Your Instinct (50ml for £12.99) and Tyson Fury’s Fury (100ml for £14.99).
Shoppers can browse all fragrance offers, including gift sets, online here. The stock in Home Bargains stores is subject to availability, so people may need to travel to different branches if their chosen deal isn’t available.
For people still stuck for a gift idea, and with the countdown to December 25 getting closer, there is always the option of a Home Bargains voucher. Released last year for the first time, people who enjoy shopping in the discount store can enjoy a guilt-free spending spree without having to touch their own bank balance.
