Boots the chemist is a great shop when it come a shop that caters for a wide variety of your needs. You have the chemist, photo development, opticians along with the wide variety of products, from perfume, hair care, cosmetics, toiletries, baby care, sunglasses, baby clothes, medication, food, digital camera's and may other electrical beauty products. When it comes to Christmas they have a wide variety of gifts for people of all ages to suits a wide variety of price ranges.
At Christmas boots is great as they have a special offer that they have every year, which is 3 for 2 which is when you get the cheapest product out of the three for free, which is fantastic as that is what you need when it comes to Christmas is to save money where possible.
Boots also have a great invention called a boots advantage card which allows you to collect 4 points for every £1 that you spend, each point costs 1p and it allows you to buy anything in boots when you have enough points to buy that item. I try and save my points until I have enough money to buy a bottle of perfume as I wear perfume daily but as a treat for shopping in boots I get to buy some that I would never normally purchase.
Also along with the advantage card boots have other special offers such as buy one get one free, or but so many get 500 advantage card points or get a free gift for example.
Boots is also online too which is great at Christmas as you normally get free delivery and it saves me from carrying lot of bags around the shops I get it all delivered to the comfort of my home, which is no where near as stressful.
When it comes to boots they stock my favourite cosmetic range, which I think is reasonably priced which is No7. They do not stock a lot of other designer brands but I normally find the items a lot cheaper online if you have time to spare in order to save that extra few pounds.
Boots overall is great as it has all products under one roof so it saves you going from shop to shop and with the incentive of advantage points it makes it more attracting as Superdrug and other similar chains do not have an offer like this.
