In case anyone hasn't opened their JL app for a while, and if you have notifications turned off you might not have known about their December treats thing - today is the first day and it's a box of Monty Bojangles chocolates (there were a choice of six kinds when I went to collect, and we were allowd to choose). You have to open the link by tonight, but you can still collect it for the next couple of days. they were very popular today and had several customer service people directing customers to get them, so they might not last too long (it's only while stocks last). It would make a nice present for someone.
I expect the rest of the days will be mostly competition entries or 10% off some random things that I never buy, so it was nice that I could take advantage of the first one that might be the only real 'freebie'!
What other shops are doing similar? M&S have stopped their this year. Fat Face used to do a competition entry every day for the first couple of weeks of December, but I can't find any links to that this year either. And none of the others that I have apps for seem to do them - there are a few tied into instagram but i am not on there, and I don't like the ones where you have to follow a company and also tag friends, so I don't enter those. I don't mind where you just enter daily though if it's easy to do, but I like the ones where you can click on things and win, like JL and the old M&S one. Cafe Nero does a cracker thing, but you have to buy a coffee first to get it.
