Rofl hey ;p

I guess this is aimed more at girls... and some guys I guess! lol

Basically I am starting to get more organised for Christmas, and one thing that came into my head to buy my girlfriend is a new hairdrier as a wee extra - as hers is on it's last legs!

I've been having a nosy, and Argos have a sale on atm and there is 2 I have found at the same price. One is reduced from £40 and the other from £30 but I have no clue which would be best.

So girls, and boys lol, please view and tell me which you would rather receive for a wee extra christmas present please - or if you have any alternatives please link me! :) Ta

Hairdrier 1 (Babyliss) - http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/4416377/Trail/searchtext%3EHAIR+DRIER.htm

Hairdrier 2 (Tresseme) - http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/4429890/Trail/searchtext%3EHAIR+DRIER.htm

+Rep for all <3

Get the Babyliss one since it comes with all those accessories and that. Also, it's got a higher reputation so it should be better. ;)

Yeh I was thinking the babyliss one, cause you get the accesories and it's got £20 off haha... The other one has more settings or summit though... dno lol

Both hairdryers will work really well and do the job so basically you should decide by whether or not your girlfriend is into pink, girly stuff and will appreiciate the little bag and accessories - if so go for the babyliss. If your girlfriend prefers a sleeker more grownup proffesional look go for the tresseme.. hope this helps! hehe x


and welldone for being so organised!

Lol appreciate that opinion!

Lol I normally have my list of presents sorted by October haha, this year I am quite late! ;P I get paid on friday though and then paid once again at the start of december, so I'm trying to budget everything just now so I don't overspend hehe.

Keep voting guys! :)

Only two settings on the BaByliss, if it was me I would prefer more.

Boots the Chemist have a huge range, also half price. This one below is good value.

Now £24.99

I think the accessories are better, and probably for an older teenager, whilst the other one, most likely suits a younger teenager, I could be wrong, do think about your girlfriends taste when you choose ;) and not yours :P

Lol nono I agree completely. The babylis one I posted had okay accesories but I agree - the boots ones are a bit more mature, and are actually more what I had in mind in general. It sort of meets everything - with good accesories as well as some more settings :)

Well that's one stocking filler sorted hehe ;P

edit: Have you any idea when the promotion ends? Just so I know when I need to buy! :p

It's best to get the electronic stuff early as the promotion may be finishing soon. The 3 for 2 on everything else is going on till Xmas however :)

The offer of the week promotion, currently it is the Ruby and Millie Make Up on the Go Set which is normally £50 but for this week it is only £25. This offer changes every week and it ends each Saturday night. (I have to change it -.-)

(I work in Boots so I kinda know about the different promotions :P)

Lol ah I see! I was in having a nosy in Boots today actually, and I couldn't find that boots hairdryer. I'm not bothered though as I can obviously order it online. But there was a remmington one a wee bit cheaper with similair accesories and that.

Think I'll just order the babylis one though as you get the wee bags and that too...

Tresseme is a well known brand, it has a five star review and at the moment its the same price as the other one anyway. Although it originally cost £10 less for some reason it looks more durable as if it would last longer.
