M&S Sparks 12 Days of Christmas

Anyone fancy a Sparks 12 Days of Christmas thread?

I'm waiting up till midnight to see what my first offering is. There are the usual suspects on the advertising image (percy pigs, looks like a hand cream, wine etc) There are some canny prizes up for grabs by the looks of things, but there are sure to be some duds as well!

Here we go. I'll show you mine, you show me yours!!

@WhatICallMyUsername yes, completely random. It will not be based on your spend previously or how often you use your card

The regular offers however have an element of personalisation to them and are based on what you buy - along with what they want to shift!

I have never once got a freebie of anything I ever bought in M&S.

I have gotten bread (I make my own), houmous (I make my own), satsumas (I buy elsewhere), percy pigs (never bought them), cookies (I make my own), a bar of Swiss chocolate, pretzels, and of course, a paper bag.

I know. I'm just an ungrateful sod.

I got a free diffuser. Searched the shop today but couldn’t find it, turns out they anticipated people collecting them so took them all to the till. At this point it was about 1pm and they had none left in the box behind the till. So if you got a freebie and haven’t collected it yet you’re probably out of luck.

I collected my room spray, it was in its usual location and there were a few there. Also bought a gift set which was half price so a worthwhile visit.

Hand cream from M&S and mini CT mascara from John Lewis.

Are there any other online calendars to join? 😊

Availability is a general issue each year (look away Pickle, grumbles incoming!) It's a pity the offer can't be saved to card for a longer period or even attached to an online order.

My nearest M&S is a very small mainly food one, so no chance of picking up a treat there, even the Percy's vanish very quickly!

PickleSmith · 01/12/2023 22:49

@TheWeeDonkeyFella 😀

I was clearly having a really weird moment earlier -'let's pretend it didn't happen (pleads)

And look - I got the fucking 20% wrapping paper and cards thing earlier so this is NOT a good start

user1471447924 · 02/12/2023 00:02

well that’s my freebie done. Colin’s greatest bits.

bizzey · 02/12/2023 00:02

I am about to check ....don't know why as I have no M&S near me to make it a worthwhile trip ...

But I live a boring life .🤣🤣

IGotItFromAgnes · 02/12/2023 00:05

30% off Christmas homeware and decorations for me today. Can be used online, which is good, but not sure there’s anything I want!

bizzey · 02/12/2023 00:05

30 % off Christmas homeware and decorations!!

Sod that ...

100 paper plates from home bargains is the best I do to make Christmas different 🤣🤣🤣!

salsamad · 02/12/2023 00:06
