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?! 😁

And the John Lewis one is entry to a prize draw for entry to attractions

NeverDropYourMooncup · 04/12/2023 07:00

4th day of the 'prize' being the chance to spend money with them.

20% off cartons of biscuits today

Me too. I’ll probably use this discount.

Floofydawg · 04/12/2023 07:04

I got an actual freebie today - a lip balm. Don't know if I cba collecting it though. Can you pick these gifts up from food hall stores, or not?

Sparkletastic · 04/12/2023 07:14

Hurrah free 30ml perfume today! That might be worth a trip to store.

ThreeRingCircus · 04/12/2023 07:19

Fourth day of random discounts off things I won't buy. The Lidl app discounts have been much better so far.

Eaumyword · 04/12/2023 07:20

Something free at last - lip balm! At risk of sounding ungrateful, I'd have preferred hand cream/perfume/reed diffuser, but grateful to have something free finally!😂

Abracadabra12345 · 04/12/2023 07:26

Like others, I've got 20% off biscuits cartons which I'm pleased about - it's quite a big discount when you're buying lots of TA/teacher gifts

Is that from an ordinary Lidl app or something extra you sign up to? (FOMO 😁)

MrsWhites · 04/12/2023 07:29

Yep biscuits for me too but @Abracadabra12345 has just given me the idea to use it for my kids hobby/club coaches presents!

ninja · 04/12/2023 07:33

I got the defused on Friday - went into the store on Saturday (it's quite a drive) and they'd run out of. I want impressed. They had loads of hand creams left though

User136921 · 04/12/2023 07:37

I'm pleased with todays, 20% off biscuits, I get a box of the M&S chocolate ones each Christmas for when DS stays. I will go in today and get the biscuits and hopefully the hand cream.

reluctantbrit · 04/12/2023 07:39

20% box os chocolate biscuits. As I normally buy a box to take around to friends for drinks it is actually useful.

But I really want gifts, not discounts.

JL - too far away to be useful unless I want to battle Oxford Street or Bluewater on a weekend. So I open it for fun. There is the chance for a Merlin pass to be won today.

madeinmanc · 04/12/2023 07:51

I wouldn't mind a discount if it were something I actually use/eat/like. As I say, my normal Sparks vouchers are missing and I'd rather have those.

Glad to have helped! 😁

It's thanks to this thread that I even realised there was this thing, which even though it's mainly discounts, is still fun!

I'm very grateful to @ThreeRingCircus as I had a Lidl app but when I checked, realised I hadn't got round to signing up! I now have - thanks to them - and have just opened my first festive box

Peridot1 · 04/12/2023 08:01

I got a free Autograph fragrance today. So I think that will be my gift and I’ll be back to discounts now. From another thread I think someone who works for M&S said that it’s mostly discounts but everyone should get one free gift @reluctantbrit. So you should get a gift but not multiple.

BaruFisher · 04/12/2023 08:10

20% of biscuits. Won’t use this one really.

Issummernearlyover · 04/12/2023 08:51

20% off biscuit boxes. That's four discounts in a row. It would be nice to get a gift!

muckymayhem · 04/12/2023 08:59

Forgot yesterday's - 20% off nightwear today - I've actually used it & got everyone not too christmassy Christmas PJs. When I say not too christmassy they aren't at all Christmassy but will be doled out on Christmas Eve - and then worn forevermore 😑

fashionqueen1183 · 04/12/2023 09:10

WeAreBorg · 03/12/2023 13:23

Baaah 20% off nightwear. Have already bought the kids PJs

Same. 🙈
I’ve got a click and collect order so going to return the PJs and buy again with the offer!

pazwaz70 · 04/12/2023 09:25

20% off again. I opened the chocolates yesterday,they taste disgusting.
Come on Marks up your game!

fashionqueen1183 · 04/12/2023 12:50

Got my diffuser today! Our store had loads suprisingly

JulesJules · 04/12/2023 13:00

JL had run out of the free mascara :(

Eaumyword · 04/12/2023 13:23

Got the lip balm today. I did ask if there was any chance of swapping for the perfume/diffuser/hand cream but they said no.
JL also out of stock of the mascara so not really an offer!

RainDropsStorm · 04/12/2023 13:56

I forgot to open mine yesterday so lost JL. Mark's have said to download the app to get yesterday's but its not letting me. JL today was a invite to win something. Just going to leave that. Mark's was 20% of biscuits will leave that also.
