The scheme was started for new parents
It offers benefits like bonus Advantage Card points on baby products, free gifts at key stages of a child's development and personalised offers, as well as expert parenting advice.
You can join up from when you are three months' pregnant until your little one is five.
And grandparents, as well as carers, are also allowed in the scheme.
Usually, members of the club can redeem eight points for every £1 they spend on baby products.
But as part of the birthday celebrations, parents who are signed up can earn an incredible 20 points per £1 on their baby shop - 2.5 times the usual amount.
This special offer is available online and in-store right now, until Monday.
To receive these points, shoppers must be logged into a boots.com account and have their Advantage Card linked to their account.
Meanwhile, the shop has a whole load of baby essentials on offer to mark the milestone.
And some stores have special events on as part of the 20th anniversary festivities.
Glasgow Fort Boots store, for example, will have fun baby-themed games, photo opportunities and experts in store over the weekend for customers to enjoy.

Shoppers spot two new Cadbury's chocolate bars on UK shelves for first time
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) SHOPPERS are flocking to supermarkets after a brand new Cadbury chocolate bar hits the shelves. The confectionery giant has launched a new Bournville dark chocolate at Sainsbury's, and it's a huge hit for nut fans. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Bournville have a new selection of flavours on offer The treat is packed with chopped hazelnuts and has a luxurious salted caramel flavouring woven through each piece. An eagle-eyed customer shared a snap of their find with members of the Food Finds UK Official Facebook group. "New Cadbury Bournville bar spotted in Sainsbury's," they wrote on the post. "I love Bournville, I need to try these new bars," one commented. Other members excitedly tagged friends in the post. The £2.20 bar is listed on Sainsbury's website but isn't available to order yet. We've asked Cadbury's owner, Mondelez International, which other stores will stock them and will update once we know more. A spokesperson said: "We're excited to be introducing two delicious new flavours to our Cadbury Bournville range, Salted Caramel and Chopped Hazelnut. "The new products will be available at retailers nationwide from late July and will be a permanent addition to our range." Bournville's new Chopped Hazelnut flavour isn't the only new one to delight sweet-toothed shoppers. There is also a salted caramel flavour and a simple yet delicious dark chocolate. The packaging has also had a huge update, the first Bournville has seen in 50 years. It puts a fresh spin on the iconic red and gold colours and reintroduces the iconic 'B' on each square from Bournville's 1908 debut. Valorie Doeringer, Brand Manager for Cadbury Bournville: "Our first campaign in over fifty years aims to cut through the pretentiousness and complexity often associated with the dark chocolate market and communicates that Cadbury Bournville is an accessible, smooth dark chocolate that everyone can enjoy, without the fuss. "The modernised new look of our range, alongside the introduction of our Salted Caramel and Chopped Hazelnut NPD, help us to drive excitement in the segment, and invite more consumes to discover the smooth taste of Cadbury Bournville.' The launch of the new Bournville bars comes just months after The Sun exclusively revealed Cadbury was bringing out a new Dairy Milk bar. The chocolatier unveiled its Dairy Milk Iced Latte flavour in May, combining classic Dairy Milk chocolate with a creamy coffee filling and crunchy biscuit pieces. The brand also introduced four limited edition Dairy Milk summer edition bars with packaging that changed colour based on temperature. Shoppers have also been going wild for the limited edition Cadbury Twirl White Dipped that's been landing on shelves. The bars, branded "outstanding" by customers, are similar to the classic milk chocolate Twirl but with a white chocolate coating.

Huge outdoor chain with over 300 locations to shut shopping centre branch in DAYS
It comes as the sportswear chain shut at least 12 of its stores in 2024 CLIMB DOWN Huge outdoor chain with over 300 locations to shut shopping centre branch in DAYS Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A major outdoor retailer with over 300 branches is set to close one of its stores. The Trespass branch in Watford will shut its doors on October 31 - with an 'everything must go' sale now underway. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Trespass is shutting its store in Watford Credit: Getty Images The outdoor clothing and equipment shop is located on the upper mall level of Harlequin Watford shopping centre. According to the Watford Observer, Trespass may relocate elsewhere in town, though this has not been confirmed. For now, the store remains open during its usual hours - Monday to Saturday from 9am to 6pm and Sundays from 11am to 6pm. Nearby branches can be found in Harrow, Hemel Hempstead and Hatfield. Another business is expected to take over the unit once the Trespass store shuts. The chain sells sportswear and outdoor gear, including skiwear, waterproof jackets, fleeces, festival accessories, walking boots and camping equipment. This closure comes as part of a broader trend for the retailer. In July 2023, Trespass confirmed it would shut six outlets. The stores were located in Derby, Harrogate, Canterbury, Solihul, Workington and Chesterfield. In 2024, the chain announced plans to shut 12 more stores, including sites in Coventry, Norwich, and Middlesbrough. Iconic Glasgow Cineworld that's world's tallest cinema building set to close as staff face axe The Middlesbrough store - which had opened only two years earlier - closed in early 2025. However, the Norwich branch later reopened at a new location in Castle Quarter. In May 2025, Trespass pulled down the shutters on its Aylesbury store in Buckinghamshire. Meanwhile, popular homeware chain Lakeland is also preparing to shut one of its high street stores. The Lakeland store on Broad Street in Reading will shut on August 8, the store confirmed to The Sun. Signs in the window announce the closure and an 'everything must go' sale. Based in Windermere in the Lake District, Lakeland operates 58 stores across the UK and employs around 1,000 staff. The retailer is known for selling a range of homeware and kitchen products, including spatulas, food containers and baking suppliers. Why are retailers closing shops? EMPTY shops have become an eyesore on many British high streets and are often symbolic of a town centre's decline. In many cases, retailers are shutting stores because they are no longer the money-makers they once were because of the rise of online shopping. Falling store sales and rising staff costs have made it even more expensive for shops to stay open. The British Retail Consortium has predicted that the Treasury's hike to employer NICs from April 2025, will cost the retail sector £2.3billion. At the same time, the minimum wage will rise to £12.21 an hour from April, and the minimum wage for people aged 18-20 will rise to £10 an hour, an increase of £1.40. In some cases, retailers are shutting a store and reopening a new shop at the other end of a high street to reflect how a town has changed. The problem is that when a big shop closes, footfall falls across the local high street, which puts more shops at risk of closing. Retail parks are increasingly popular with shoppers, who want to be able to get easy, free parking at a time when local councils have hiked parking charges in towns. Many retailers including Next and Marks & Spencer have been shutting stores on the high street and taking bigger stores in better-performing retail parks instead. In some cases, stores have been shut when a retailer goes bust, as in the case of Carpetright, Debenhams, Dorothy Perkins, Paperchase, Ted Baker, The Body Shop, Topshop and Wilko to name a few. What's increasingly common is when a chain goes bust a rival retailer or private equity firm snaps up the intellectual property rights so they can own the brand and sell it online. They may go on to open a handful of stores if there is customer demand, but there are rarely ever as many stores or in the same places. The Centre for Retail Research (CRR) has warned that around 17,350 retail sites are expected to shut down this year.

Last chance to save your home security videos before they're ALL deleted as Ring rival renders 3 popular gadgets useless
See the full list of affected devices below - and what you need to do immediately SWITCH OFF Last chance to save your home security videos before they're ALL deleted as Ring rival renders 3 popular gadgets useless Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) HOUSEHOLDS kitted out with a major Ring doorbell rival have been warned their devices will stop working entirely in a matter of days. And all video recordings will be deleted unless you take action immediately. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 Company's security products will no longer work on August 1 Credit: Hive Three gadgets, including a video security camera and a siren, have been discontinued by Hive. The company's home security alarm system, Homeshield, will also cease to function from August 1. Hive - which is owned by British Gas parent company Centrica - started out in 2012. It's mainly known for smart heating as well as smart lighting, both of which are not affected by the upcoming changes. Hive eventually broadened out into smart security. But three years ago bosses decided to step away from security products to focus on "energy-efficient smart-tech" instead. The devices have continued to work since then but the final nail will go into the coffin next week. See the four products being killed off below. Hive View Camera Hive Siren and Keypad Hive Homeshield Hive Video Playback Despite being security-relate products, the Hive Window/Door contact sensors and Hive motion sensors will continue to operate. Ring's flying 'spy drone' that monitors your home in the AIR 'coming 2026' – it stalks burglars & even recharges itself In an email warning sent out to customers recently, Hive said to "download any footage you'd like to keep now". After 11am on August 1 it will be deleted. "It is crucial that you save any required recordings before the cut-off period on the 1st of August 2025," Hive says. "Your data security is important to us, and we take disposal of data seriously. "Therefore, our system will be unable to recover any video footage if you fail to save your recordings before the 1st of August 2025." It also recommends customers "recycle your devices at your local Household Waste Recycling Centre".
