Just bought a hot chocolate shaker that I didn’t know I needed! 🐑

honestly ecoo* have 50% off everything still and an extra 25% if you sign up. I got some great bits for tween DD last year like bamboo make up brushes and eco creams and make up

M&S - I got the hand cream yesterday and money off crisps today. I might collect the hand cream. Has anyone seen if the advent calendars are still available in M&S stores? I didn’t get one but now I’m wishing I had! And I can’t find a dedicated thread, so hopefully someone on here can help!

I havnt spent in m&s at all this year from what I can recall and got a free tea lantern yest and 15% off drinks today.

Can you just go and collect all 12?

Same. I did have an M&S credit card but haven’t used it in ages.

The current JL offers which I haven’t used and are still on the app expire on 4/12, so maybe there will be new ones after that?

Probably, @Thatsasmashingblouseyouvegoton . The two I have so far both expire on 12 December so you could go in then.

You run the risk that some of your offers will have gone out of stock. That’s what has happened with John Lewis Christmas freebies.

The M&S Beauty advent was one of the first to sell out this year.

Nespresso - the advent calendar for Original capsules is 70% off today in the boutique.

In my John Lewis app the “Collect a free packet of reindeer sweets” picture has gone from colour to grey and white with “Low Stock” written across it.

I don’t know if that’s specific to my local branch or generally.

Looking forward to a cuppa and my free M&S mince pies!

John Lewis has some advent calendars at 30% off, including this Brio one, reduced from £34.99 to £24.

Lidl are doing an advent calendar thing on their app with money off vouchers. Nothing major but useful if it was something you were going to buy anyway

If you have a Santander account there is a new ‘boost’ element to the account (I’ve just discovered it so still sussing it out). Just saw this offer which looks great (just have to pay postage. UK company, environmentally friendly products and suitable for vegans).

I can't find this. Is it online? x

Can anyone recommend a good art set in a wooden box? My daughter had one when she was 6 and is now 10 and wants an upgrade. I had a look at the Smyths one but not sure of the quality for the price. She really wants it to have oil pastels in but isn’t bothered about paints.

No, the boutiques are what they call the physical shops. I think they are still 50% off online. I bought the advent calendar in the shop. There was also a QR code in the window which you can scan to see if you have won a prize - I won a barista shaker :)

My Sho Mystery Parcel has just been delivered.

it contains a plain 1000ml Original 2.0 bottle (£16.99), a plain Pacto drinks cup (£9.99), and a Calix drinks cup (£13.50) which is unfortunately in the bottoms Peaches design.

The free gift is a carabiner (£1.99) which matches the bottle. All prices are for the colours and patterns I was sent.

I make that £42.47 value for £34.99. Given that I could choose neither the items nor the designs I am feeling a bit disappointed, but if you have people whose presents you haven’t already decided on it could be worth buying one of these parcels. The quality looks good.

Did you get any discount?

I didn’t know I needed it either, but now I NEEEED it, but don’t want to spend £25

Try The Works or TK Maxx.

@paintyhands they had the whip advent in store at my local food ms store and maybe a couple of others.

Unfortunately they didn't have my free chocolate footballs

Have I missed the 20% at Selfridges for black Friday? I couldn’t see it!

Need to buy that Vivienne Westwood Orb necklace for my dd13! Any ideas where it might be cheaper that £100😲

There were still some in some stores last week but they have removed remaining stock from sale after 30/11 in previous years - but not always - so you may still be lucky.

Thank you for the person who posted about Puzzleyou - I’ve ordered the card game for grandparents, it looks great.
