I definitely fall into certain catergories

I definitely don't buy - don't even watch

plants/gardening/garden items
diy/tools
craft/scrapbooking
tanzanite
fitness
food
tova/perfume
nails
any technology or tv'/sat nav's

I do buy/really interested in

jewellery
candles - only yankee though
kipling
emu
tiana b
NN
some interior things

I do watch and can sometimes be swayed by

butler and wilson
some beauty - l'occitane,liz earle,philosophy body scrubs
kim and co
make up
kitchen gadgets - however hardly buy

Things I'd really like them to do -
uggs
radley
more interiors - rugs,lamps,unusual chairs,clocks,etc.
much better fashion and accessories - better tsv's - scarfs,woolly socks,wellies,flip flops - at £10ish tsv prices - different tsv's
clothes like boden,toast,next
tasteful christmas
 
I am only really swayed by SouthWestern silver, Northern Nights and Christmas items.

Sometimes YC too but only if it is not available elsewhere or it is a Christmas item fro YC that I want or could give as a present.
 
Hmmmm.... *struggles to think of a single category that she hasn't made a purchase from*
 
Never watch: crafting, d-i-y, techie hours, gardening, fitness or kitchen stuff.

Sometimes tempted and give in to bedding, tiffany lamps, candles and other homeware.

Sorely tempted and often succomb to jewellery & beauty:cheeky:

Would be tempted by fashion if there was anything half decent but totally safe for now!
 
Always watch
Craft shows
Any beauty show that doesn't feature AY - so, not many then
Indigo Moon
Suarti
Honora
Ojon
SBC

Never
Gardening
Technology
Electrical ( pointless, living here )

I occasionally watch diamonique, silver style, other fashion, kitchen utensils.
Most of what I watch is dictated by what I can't get here, or can't get sent here.
I find it difficult to watch JF, she doesn't look clean, to me. I know that's horrible, and I'm sure it's untrue, but it's just the effect she has on me....
 
If I'm going to buy something from a shopping channel it's usually some kind of kitchen gadget, maybe an item of clothing, or make up.

I've got my skincare sorted, so I'm not swayed there, haven't got a garden, do craft, but can't see the point of buying kits in which you're just using someone else's designs stuck down, and don't buy techie stuff very often due to the expense.

I buy my Laura Geller make-up from QVC but only because I can't get it anywhere else in the UK (have a friend who used to travel to NY on business every couple of months who used to take my shopping list with him).

I also buy L'Occitane because it's cheaper than elsewhere and I buy just one Philosophy product about 3 times a year

Hate most of the clothes despite being definitely slap in the middle of their target demograph although I have to confess to buying a grey jersey Nina Leonard dress last winter, which I love and always feel good in. It's the only thing I've every seen on QVC that was long enough for me.

Wouldn't be seen dead with a tatty fabric bag with a monkey on it - I'm a grown up!

Very impressed with my Emu boots and would deffo order them again.

Some craft stuff but not a lot.

I bought a feather bed last year and it was money well spent as I have a very arthritic-y hip which used to keep me awake. It doesn't now

Don't watch any of the artificial "jewels" presentations

After my disasters this year with plants I will not be buying any again from QVC.
I did love yellow gold small diamonique pieces, but even the silver option is too expensive now so no more of that.
I like some of the Northern Nights bedding !.
Craft hours, DIY,Techy, are all no no's for me.
I love watching the Christmas hours but buy some where else (cheaper) same for Yankee candles, Stone Mountain bags.and Kathy Van Zeeland, (I feel another New York shopping trip coming soon !)
I dont like Kipling, can get Travelon look alikes from the market much cheaper.As for their "fashion" I dont think I will bother !.
Still like to see what the TSV is but buy seldomly at the launch.
