Usually known for its £99 Mystery Holiday deals or luck-of-the-draw bundles - where you pay a set price and don't know what you're getting until it turns up at your door - Wowcher is another retailer with a leap year sale on its list.

Samsung fans can pay a fraction of the price, £61 to be exact, for a pre-loved Galaxy Watch. Usually this second-hand model would cost £199.99. While this is different from the deals site usual draw deals we'd recommend it for a young wearer or someone who wants to test it out before they spend hundreds on a brand new Galaxy Watch at the Samsung site.

Skincare lovers, listen up!

For one day, and one day only, with the code FEB29 Lookfantastic fans can get their hands on this Embryolisse Lait-Crème Concentré Multi-Purpose Moisturiser for only £15.61 as opposed to £21.99.

Embryolisse Lait-Crème Concentré Nourishing Moisturiser was spotted in the Kardashian's makeup bag (Boots)

Beloved by the likes of Michelle Keegan, the cream is a total multi-tasker and is not only a moisturising hero but also acts as a make-up remover, primer, toner, mask and cream in one go - all whilst providing your skin with vitamins and nutrients for a glowing complexion.

Other creams we're eyeing up that are included in this flash sale are two beloved by Hailey Bieber - the Weleda Skin Food and Avene Cicalfate's Repair cream. The former is enriched with soothing botanical extracts to instantly hydrate and nourish dry skin. Meanwhile the Avène Cicalfate+ Restorative Protective Cream is less than £13 - down from £16 - and isn't just great for your face but also targets those dry patches across your body. It even acts to "protect the skin from further damage caused by environmental aggressors, creating a dressing-like film over the sensitivity. A powerful postbiotic [C-Restore] complex featuring thermal spring water seeks to support the skin’s normal healing process."

Jimmy Choo fragrances, the best of Benefit make-up goodies, the Iconic Illuminator and Olaplex hair treatments - these are just a few of our favourite things spotted in its sale.

Benefit products are heavily featured too, as today's leap day may just be one of the best times to stock up (I've got the Precisely My Brow in my online basket). The Team Magnet Mascara is £9 cheaper today, while the summer-kissed-like Hoola Matte Powder Bronzer can be picked up for £23.

Fans of craft beer rejoice, there's a leap year day deal just for you, even if (like me) you missed out on Brewdog's 29 beers for £29 offer after they sent out their email this morning

Seven Bro7hers brewing company is not only marking the day with some big savings but, unlike the Brewdog offer, the sale is 29% off everything so you can pick your preferred brew rather than sticking with a curated box.

From pale ales to IPAs, lagers to stout there are dozens of different options which can be bought from kegs to single cans - including quirky flavours like honeycomb, watermelon alongside traditional favourites.

There's also free delivery over £49 and the deal is live until midnight on Monday. We'll drink to that.

Our perfume pick is this Estee Lauder one at M&S

The Estee Lauder Youth Dew can be found for a fraction of the price (M&S)

Sweet florals mixed with a hint of spiced wood, if that sounds like the scent for you M&S is the retailer to head to. As it's taken £20 off the Estee Lauder Youth-Dew Eau de Parfum.

A top favourite smell as we head towards spring, as M&S describes it as: "Captivating, rich and exceptionally lasting. Because it was originally sold as a bath oil, not perfume, women felt free to enjoy and wear it every day. Instead of using Youth-Dew by the drop, women used it by the bottle. Men loved it too, saying it was "simply the sexiest fragrance ever."

Hotel stays from £59 at Village Hotels

Looking to book a getaway? Then Village Hotels is definitely a good place to look at this Leap Day. The chain's flash sale has bed and breakfast options for two people from £59, with packages valid for stays from Thursday to Sunday between today and June 2, included selected bank holidays.

With many hotel deals blocking out weekends, this is the exact opposite making it perfect if you're looking for a weekend break.

Most of the brands hotels have pools and fitness areas, many have in-house Starbucks and all have reasonably priced bars and restaurants and if you sign up for their Revolution members' service you can often get additional perks and discounts.

Full disclosure: I've never had a freebie from them but the Nottingham Village Hotel is a Flanders family favourite we've paid to stay at often, perfect for visiting the city and with some of the friendliest hotel staff I've ever met. They once even gave everyone checking in on a Friday night a free Crunchie to celebrate the weekend.
