another post from Heidi on Facebook along with a pic of the set. Will be on air July 6.  No item number or price but it will be free shipping. All philosophy items will be free shipping during July.

I like the small bottles.  I like free shipping too.  😊

These are a great size. I use them as Christmas stocking stuffers, in the guest bathroom, and have a few in a "gift" closet. I also keep some by my bathtub. Nice variety each time they do this.

All true, good variety, good for little gifts, etc, but ounce per ounce these are never a good value in comparison to buying the larger sizes, especially when the Phil site is having a good sale.

Thank you so much for this heads-up, @FlyersGirl   I have very much been looking forward to smaller sizes, especially of scents I want to try.  I am not interested in gigantic bottles of something I have not experienced.  These look like those soft bottles, too.  I do not like their hard, stiff containers.

I think value is measured not only in cost.  Value is a factor of what and how something is important to someone, and dollar cost is only one of those factors.

I totally agree with you on this point. To get a 32-ounce bottle of a scent you don't know if you will like is not always a good deal. I like trying these smaller bottles, finding which scent appeals to me, and then order it in the larger size.

Because of trying the variety set like this a couple of years ago, I discovered how much I loved the Lemon Custard, and now I get the huge, gigantic 64-ounce size they come out with at least once a year (around Thanksgiving/Christmastime).

Also, the variety sets they offer at least twice a year are usually not the same. The ones around Christmas are really fun. Well, I guess the summer ones are fun too!

@GingerPeachGreat point -  value comes in many different forms and changes from person to person, from product to product, from time to time.

I'm usually a best value per ounce shopper -   but these 6 ounce Pilosophy gels are a better value for me for several reasons.  Glad to know they're coming up.

Funny, I just posted yesterday that I would prefer a set of 12 - 6oz bottles vs. 6 - 32oz and here it is!!  lol

I also agree, it's not about the cost of oz per oz.  I'm someone who likes to keep a variety of scents open (vs. someone who keeps one or two 32 or 64 oz open) so I much prefer the 6oz sizes -- those are perfect for me.  I remember when Nordstrom used to carry them and offer them 3 for $15 - nice deal!  Only negative is you don't get any matching cream.  My favorite choice is a set of 6oz shower gel and 4oz cream and they do offer some of those a few times a year I think -- I'm guessing they may have that for Christmas in July. Right now they show a set of two, A418166.
