Boots shoppers rush to pick up £60 worth of Yankee Candles for under £30
SHOPPERS are rushing to Boots as it announced it’s flogging a popular candle for almost half of its original price.
The cosmetics giant surprised buyers when it launched its massive sale a whole month before the official “Black Friday” one.
This includes selling a Yankee Candle Collection Gift set for £29.50 -almost half its original value of £60.
For the brand’s fans, this is a serious reduction as candles are normally well over £50.
The festive gift box serves as an affordable option for anyone looking to secure some early Christmas presents.
It includes a range of scented candles, each with their own unique smell.
The aromas vary from black cherry and bayside cedar to sparkling cinnamon, and white spruce and grapefruit.
These are packaged in a quaint box – saving you time on wrapping.
The Star Gift deal has already been a hit with consumers, according to the chain’s website.
One five-star reviewer wrote: “Beautiful Yankee candle gift set which I bought for a present. In a very nice presentation box.”
Another commented: “fantastic value for money!”
This comes as Boots slashed prices on a number of beauty and wellness products as part of its Black Friday sale.
You can get your hands on top designer fragrances – from YSL to Prada – for 25 per cent off the original price.
And for those not sure what to go for, the gift sets offer a cheap alternative with multiple different scents.

Cost of breakfast staple set to soar in price due to Budget’s hated tax on farms
THE COST of British sausages could soar because of the hated farmers tax, experts warned last night.
Farmers are mutinying and considering mass protests after being clobbered by an inheritance tax raid on farms worth over £1 million.
They say the Budget has sounded the death knell for the family farm.
Now there are dire warnings fans of the great British banger will have to pay the price.
Mo Metcalf-Fisher, from The Countryside Alliance, said: “Losing farms would be a catastrophe, we can’t risk undermining our own food security.
“Costs for everyday British favourites like bangers could well be impacted as a result and we’d be relying more and more on foreign imports.”
Tory MP Charlie Dewhirst – whose family run a pig farm – said: “If farms are sold and it reduces food production then that could mean higher prices.”
Chancellor Rachel Reeves was also accused of “signing a death warrant” for thousands of multi-generational businesses as inheritance tax is imposed on other family-run firms for the first time since 1970.
Sun columnist and Diddly Squat Farm owner Jeremy Clarkson said farmers have been “shafted” — and TV property expert Kirstie Allsopp accused Ms Reeves of having “f***ed all farmers”.
Tory MPs warned the Budget could “spell the end of family farms”.
They accused Environment and Farming Secretary Steve Reed of betraying the sector, having promised last year “we have no intention of changing” inheritance tax on farms.
The National Farmers Union said the move would “snatch away the next generation’s ability to produce food”.

Savvy shopper reveals how to bag popular hair care product worth £16 for free
A SAVVY shopper has revealed how to nab a popular hair care product for free.
For anyone looking for their next hair care product, this eagle-eyed customer has got you covered.
The shopper has shown users how to bag the Number 3 hair Perfector ornament from the popular brand Olaplex completely free of charge.
The product usually retails at £28 and promises to reduce hair breakages, protect strands, and restore its healthy appearance.
If you want to get hold of this deal, just make any other purchase and you will be gifted a 20ml bottle of the hair ointment.
The hair care is made with Bis-Aminopropyl Diglycol Dimaleate, an ingredient which the brand says is a miracle worker.
It “allowed professionals to reach new heights in colour and care,” according to Olaplex’s website.
This single molecule is included in all of Olaplex’s products, which is the reason why hair looks healthier after use, it says.
“Hair wasn’t just healthier; it took on a completely different quality —
“Blondes were brighter, brunettes more radiant, and redheads more vibrant,” according to the brand’s website.
Olaplex started in 2014 in a California garage.

From Cushing’s Disease to a quiet guinea pig – your pet queries answered
HE is on a mission to help our pets . . . and is here to answer YOUR questions.
Sean, who is the head vet at tailored pet food firm tails.com, has helped with owners’ queries for ten years.
He says: “If your pet is acting funny or is under the weather, or you want to know about nutrition or exercise, just ask. I can help keep pets happy and healthy.”
Q) I THINK my little lady Jack Russell, Pudding, has Cushing’s Disease. She is six and cute.
For the last two months she has been drinking a standard bowl of water overnight, which needs mopping up in the morning.
She has a big appetite, too, and appears to gulp all her food which I now place in a lick dish to slow down her eating.
She appears pot-bellied and her stomach area is very hard to touch. Although she is not distressed, in fact quite happy, these symptoms do give me cause for concern.
Ian Holliday, Redditch, Worcs
A) Pudding does sound like she has something hormonal going on.
Cushing’s disease is an overproduction of cortisol and can lead to increased thirst and urination, a pot bellied appearance, skin thinning and other changes.
But there are other disorders that could also be responsible. The first step is a blood test at your vet clinic.
Left untreated, potential issues will lead to bigger problems. So best to diagnose as early as possible.
Q) MY daughter Emma’s Guinea pig, Martha, is really squeaky but her friend, Katie, is quiet.
Can they have different personalities like people?
Keith Campbell, Glasgow
A) Yes, absolutely. I am always surprised with this question when it comes to animals having emotions or personalities.
Just like we say at tails.com that dogs are “never average” it applies to all kinds of animal species.
Each is an individual. Sounds like Martha and Katie are well-matched, the chatterbox and the quiet one.
Q) I’VE just got two rescue cats, one about three years old and one about six months old. Is it good to mix biscuits into their food?
I’m keen that they don’t get tooth decay like the last two cats I had.
They are still at the rescue stage of eating everything with enthusiasm, so if I’m going to add biscuits it has to be now. They get spoiled!
Cathy Davidson, East London
A) I always advocate for a mixture of food types for cats, otherwise they can become fussy eaters.
Wet food provides important moisture in their diet, as most cats are not great drinkers and dehydration can exacerbate kidney issues in later life.
But dry kibble can be more abrasive on teeth and gums. While dry food doesn’t clean teeth as some marketing claims suggest, it can reduce the rate of plaque build-up. So a balanced feeding approach is beneficial.
Q) MY Staffie, Bronson, has bouts of eczema inside his legs and under his body. He is constantly scratching at the itches.
I have taken him to the vets but the symptoms always return. Any idea of medication?
Jodie Young, Fife
A) I cannot prescribe or suggest actual medications for patients that are not in my care, simply because I can’t tell what is wrong with them from a description alone.
Poor Bronson. Skin issues are one of the most common problems presented to the vet clinic, and come in many forms. They can be challenging to diagnose and to treat.
Staffies are right up there in breeds prone to skin problems, with allergic dermatitis high on the likelihood list.
My advice is to discuss your frustrations with the vet, and ask them to give you a flowchart of what can be done short-term to alleviate itchiness.
But also ask whether there’s a longer term affordable strategy to try and prevent this happening again.
Star of the week
BRAVE Archie the Great Dane survived great pain when he swallowed a six-inch bbq skewer.
Owner Neil McKinlay, 55, realised something was wrong when his newly adopted three-month-old went quiet.
Neil, from Glasgow, turned investigator when he found a lump in Archie’s side, but was told by the vet that it could be a rib.
But a CT scan showed his stomach had been pierced.
Neil says: “After surgery, Archie came home in April.”
Luckily he avoided a big bill since he’d come from the breeder with five weeks’ free insurance from Agria (agriapet.co.uk).
“He’s transformed now” Neil added.

Keep pets from going sparking mad
NEED to take the fear out of Bonfire Night for your furry friend? Experts at the RSPCA have figured out a formula to ensure fireworks don’t frighten pets this year.
“Research shows nearly half of UK dogs show signs of fear when they hear fireworks, but there are lots of things you can do to help your pets cope,” an RSPCA spokesman says.
“Cats should be kept indoors with somewhere to hide. Don’t try to tempt them out, it may add more stress, and always ignore the fireworks yourself.”
Take dogs for a long walk during daylight and get them home before the banging begins. And play with cats or other animals to expend energy.
Secondly, create a cosy safe space with curtains closed and comforting white noise to drown out the racket. A bed or crate with a cover is a haven for nervous dogs, with you nearby for comfort.
Remember to wear clothes that really smell of you to make your pet as relaxed as possible.
Use calming sprays, chews, toys and tasty treats to help take the stress out of firework time.
Be prepared! Find out when the noisiest displays happen to reduce the surprise, see rspca.org.uk.

Brits urged to check their old DVD collections for titles that could be worth hundreds
BRITS have been urged to check for old DVD collections that could potentially sell for hundreds of pounds.
It is worth having a dig out in your attic as old DVDs from your childhood could be worth more than just a few quid.
Like any collectables, the value of DVDs can vary hugely from as little as £100 to even millions of pounds.
So if you’re having a clear-out or spy a disc in your local charity shop, you could be in the money.
DVDs that command high prices are often limited editions, special releases, or out-of-print films, according to the experts.
Bally Casino prepared a list of DVDs that are in high demand in the collectors market – and could sell for hundreds of pounds.
At the top of their list is the Carry On Film Collection with complete 31 films which can get you some £350.
While a Blade Runner Ultimate Collector’s Editon Briefcase could easily fetch £300, according to their research.
Ryan Toomey, a film fanatic, writer, and Editor at Upbeat Geek, told The Sun: “Collectors and cinephiles prize DVDs for their nostalgic value, the desire to own a piece of cinema history, and the joy of collecting.
“Rare DVDs become popular auction items because they offer collectors the chance to own something unique and often irreplaceable.”
It can be tricky to know what’s valuable and what’s not in the world of DVDs.
Ryan said the most valuable DVDs can include director’s cuts, films with unique packaging, or DVDs signed by cast members.
“The rarity and the demand among collectors drive up their value,” he added.
Ryan’s broke down exactly what adds to the value of a DVD:
- Scarcity: The fewer copies available, the more valuable the DVD.
- Condition: Mint or near-mint condition DVDs are more desirable.
- Provenance: DVDs with a history or connection to someone significant in the film industry are highly prized.
- Special Features: Unique packaging, autographs, or DVDs that include unreleased content can significantly increase value.
The expert also pointed out that collections and box sets are also worth big bucks.
But, even if you don’t have one of the most rare items you could always find cash in a variety of retro DVDs.
A huge number of individual DVDs and box sets are also sold on eBay too, and prices do vary.
How to make money from your old DVDs
Old DVDs can be sold on eBay, via Amazon, or on any number of specialist websites.
To find out how much an old game might be worth do some research first.
Checking the same or similar games under “sold listings” on eBay.
On eBay in particular bear in mind that some buyers pull out after an auction has ended, so the game may not have actually sold for the price it says it did.
Compare your video game to other higher-selling auctions and ask yourself if it’s in a similar condition. Is it authentic? Does it have its original packaging?
If it’s in mint condition then it might be worth selling it through an auction house or directly to a collectables website.
If it’s not in mint condition, it’s probably worth sticking it on eBay for a moderate sum.
But in both cases check for any fees involved and find out what percentage of any sale an auctioneer may take.
It’s important to remember that your game is only worth as much as someone is willing to pay.
If you know you have something valuable, you can also maximise your profit through a specialist auction.
Meanwhile, here are the most valuable toys worth up to £20k including Thundercats and Scalextric.
Plus, all the highest value and rare posters worth up to £3,500 including Elvis Presley and The Jam
