I'm going this afternoon so I just want to know your no 1 favourite thing to buy. Not just food items! Also not a whole list because I can't buy it all and want your absolute favourite thing from there. Sorry, my requirements are specific 😂

I'll go first:

Layered Mexican dip

Iced spiced buns. They no longer sell them in single packs so now I have to eat two.

Their cheese fondues in the terracotta pots are nice. So are the cheese fondants. I like their shortcrust pastry pies. They also do the best grapes, really crunchy. I love the Butter Chicken sauce, just not the chicken. Finally their posh lasagne is good but a half portion is now a fiver which is not justifiable. I still miss their caramel cake from decades ago.

Plant Kitchen Kievs 👌

Their vegan range

The packets of little iced buns with the pink icing and raspberry jam inside. The best comfort food ever.

More boringly, their basic black vests in the lingerie section. They’re cheap, last years and years and I wear them under everything.

Oh please can I have one for. Each department?

food is their pasta bolognaise bake
closing isn’t her knee high thermal soocks
hime is their calm candle.

Frankincense & Myrrh Christmas candles (the best one, no idea why they've been relegated out of the Christmas section)

Massive chocolate buttons

Big pants with lace tops - so comfy and not hideous

Sparkly heatgen plus tops

The nice collectible shortbread tins, although I thought the Jubilee ones were a bit of a step down, decoratively, from previous royal wedding/baby events... possibly the most Middle England thought I have ever had

@SavouryFlavour I have the frankincense & myrrh candle this year! I love it but it's tunnelled beyond repair (my fault) so I'm going to have to bash the leftover wax up and put it in my scentsy instead. I'd still recommend it, it smells divine.

@Harperweek I appreciate you asking permission for an entry into each category unlike the other rule breakers here who are giving me lists upon lists! 😂 The thermal socks are on my list, but I'm going ankle not knee high.

Also how have I never tried the iced spiced buns? I didn't make it the other day but am definitely going tomorrow morning bright and early. Im in a spendy mood too.

Thanks all!

Their genuinely high waisted ‘cosy’ jeggings. I never have to hitch them up, and they’re a bit warmer than standard ones.
Lived in 2 pairs last winter, just bought a 3rd in a different colour.

I think the candles do tunnel a lot more than they used to - am sure there's a candle expert MNer about who can explain why! But the F&M fragrance is lovely. I used to stockpile the diffusers in the Jan sales because it's just such a cosy wintery smell.

Their individual roast dinners in a giant Yorkshire pudding.

Finest (or whatever their posh name is!) prawn cocktail sandwich (basically like a takeaway prawn cocktail in sandwich form!).

I'm not sure if it's the same as the dresses mentioned by a pp but I love my midi floral dress from there and would like to get more. Stretchy and flattering and a lovely pattern.

Is it the viscose midi dresses that people love?
