 I've been looking forward to Boxing Day since the summer sales ended, if you don't know what happens in the UK on Boxing Day, it's basically THE biggest sale across the country, where shops have a massive clear out on their latest Christmas gift items etc. So I was pretty excited about this, especially for the sales in Lush and Selfridges/ Cath Kidston. On the morning of the 26th, I woke up really early at around 9am and visited the Trafford center in Manchester, we arrived around 10am and immediately rushed to the Lush store; it was surprisingly quiet and their 50% off sale wasn't very noticeable with their tiny little stickers on the bottom of the shelf saying '50% off!'. Despite this I managed to spend just under £20 in a matter of minutes and bought a total of 10 items, most of them being bubble bars. The Lush shop in the Trafford Centre actually had a lot of stock besides the Snow Fairy shower gel compared to other stores, either probably because I was early or they just had a lot left over. I can't exactly remember how much each costed as I don't have time to be rummaging through my bag to find the receipt but all the sale items I bought were under £3! The only item that I bought and wasn't in the sale was the Sex bomb bath bomb and the Dragon's egg bath bomb was given as a gift. Boxing Day sales haul- Day 1!After a few wanders, I rushed to Selfridges to find their Cath Kidston pop up store and picked up a Provence rose 3 tier cake stand which I've wanted for ages, it wasn't In the sale unfortunately, to put my Lush bath bombs and bubble bars on. This was £25, you can buy yours here. I also bought a plastic bowl and plate which were in the sale, the bowl was £2.50 and the plate was £4 which I thought was a pretty good deal!   Coincidently, the items I bought were the heaviest and throughout walking in the Trafford Centre, I felt my arms were genuinely about to fall off. I didn't even bother to look in Topshop or Forever 21 as I saw the amount of people stood outside, imagine what the inside would look like?!I hope you have enjoyed day 1 of the Boxing Day sale rush, if you have any questions or information, I would love to read it in the comments box below!P.s I also can't decide whether the Cath Kidston phone cases are worth the £25 and if I should purchase one? Suggestions are very welcome! Boxing Day sales haul- Day 1!
