M&S 12 days of Christmas

I love this each year, today I got a free 75ml hand cream. Which isn’t likely to be as delicious as the florentines I got on day one last year, but you can’t complain about a freebie!

I’m hoping for a knitwear discount one day, I’ve had a cashmere cardi in my basket for weeks.

Who can top free hand cream this morning?! 😁

20% off wrapping. Mildly disappointed. I would love the diffuser

ifonly4 · 01/12/2023 07:30

20% off cards and wrapping. I only have one card left to buy and know there's nothing suitable in M&S and I think we have enough wrapping paper. Still nice to have though. DH enjoyed the bottle of gin I got on day one last year!

YorkieTheRabbit · 01/12/2023 07:32

Hand cream for me too but as the nearest store is around fifteen miles away, I won’t be bothering. I only shop online

MoggyP · 01/12/2023 07:33

It's still ages until the Christmas Day (ie the first day of Christmas, with the others running between them and Twelfth Night)

So I think they should all be lined up and shot for wilful abuse of seasons of the year!

Reed diffuser!
Me too Smile

20% off wrapping.
How do you use it? It's not in the Sparks' offers section. It's just underneath.
Not that I'm likely to use the wrapping offer but I'd like to know in case I get something better on a later day.

It's automatically added to your Sparks Offers. I got the useless 20% off wrapping paper but DH got a free pair of mens Christmas socks

Reed diffuser, but as our closest ( 10mile) store is now just a foodhall and the main store 2 bus journeys away ...no sodding good for me.

I’d love the reed diffuser!

No food items reported yet, beyond the Percy pigs.

I can't even open the sodding door! Updated the app last night, the ad is showing, but when I click the Open today's door button - nothing! Great start!

Try the website, it worked for me on there

Mybestusername · 01/12/2023 07:49

Had the same issue with not being able to open the door in the app - just updated and it works now. Got a free reed diffuser which I'm very happy with.

Thanks OP for the reminder to check! Smile

Ah it's not showing in my Offers section. I'll try updating it. Thanks

Vinorosso74 · 01/12/2023 07:55

20% off cards and wrap here. Won't use as I already have enough.
My best one last year was the free bag of Percy Pigs.

User136921 · 01/12/2023 08:02

We do have a store which I generally visit once a week to get food so I am hoping by the time I go there next week I have a few bits to pick up, I bet they won't be in stock though like last year.

problembottom · 01/12/2023 08:08

I got an apothecary room spray, looks like different scents to choose from, I will use this so very happy. Last year I got a light up Christmas tin of biscuits which was lovely.

mrsjg · 01/12/2023 08:18

I got a free hanging decoration. Won't be able to claim it as our local M&S is a food hall only.

GrannyAchingsShepherdsHut · 01/12/2023 08:19

20% off cards and wrapping. Got the gin last year!

This supports my theory that the gin was a bribe to go in the shop at all - I hadn't used my sparks card for about a year last year - I've popped in several times recently for food, I suspect the algorithm's decided they don't need to bribe me to get me across the threshold this time.

creamcheeseandlox · 01/12/2023 08:19

Reed diffuser too. 😀

NoWordForFluffy · 01/12/2023 08:21

Numberninetynine · 01/12/2023 07:02

30ml apocathery reed diffuser!

Snap!

TheHawkisHowling · 01/12/2023 08:22

I got 20% of the cards and wrapping too.

I'm certainly not making a trip there for that!

TheFlis · 01/12/2023 08:26

20% off cards and wrap for me. I got a good haul from the offers last year so hoping they improve as I spend a lot with M&S.

Thanks for the John Lewis tip off @Cyclingmummy1 Mini mascara for me too which would have been handy but it’s in store only and they closed our local branch so I won’t be able to claim it.

How do you get the JL offers?

Floofydawg · 01/12/2023 08:30

Found them. Ignore me.

jimloop · 01/12/2023 08:32

100 ml Apothecary room spray for me, but as someone has said - these gifts are often out of stock when you try to collect :(

beachmum1 · 01/12/2023 08:34

30 ml perfume for me!
