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!!

@Secondguess Commiserations.

At least this way we needn't go to the shop unnecessarily. (Trying desperately to find the bright side.)

BaconAndAvocado · 02/12/2023 12:26

I signed out and back in again and all well.
Got 30% off Christmas home and decorations.

ChessieFL · 02/12/2023 12:28

I hoped today would be my freebie as I was in town so could have popped in. But no, 30% off decs and homewares. I’ll probably get my freebie tomorrow and it will have sold out by the time I actually get back to a shop.

ifIwerenotanandroid · 02/12/2023 12:34

Sorry to bang on about this, but I just checked the w/s & hit 'View added offers' under today's mince pie one, & it's showing yesterday's & today's 12 Days in my added offers.

So they're visible on the w/s on my computer but not on the app on my phone. I wonder what would happen in-store?

LadyOfTheCanyon · 02/12/2023 12:38

Could there be a glitch between android users versus iPhone?

I've tried turning off my VPN to see if that makes any difference with the JL app but No

ifIwerenotanandroid · 02/12/2023 12:42

I'm an Android user. DH says we're not buying iPhones just to get a free box of mince pies.

LadyOfTheCanyon · 02/12/2023 12:45

What a misery guts your DH is!

Stripedfluffysocks · 02/12/2023 12:48

Please everyone- I have to buy a white company present and can’t find any working discount codes - can anyone help 🤶

Stripedfluffysocks · 02/12/2023 12:49

So sorry in my rush I’ve posted on the wrong thread 🫣

I'm an Android user and I can see my free mince pies in the app

Theraffarian · 02/12/2023 13:02

It’s the app on my iPad that refuses to play ball , I’ve popped it on my android phone and all is good . Well I didn’t get a freebie, but all is mostly good !

So it's personal then, between me & M&S? Hmm.

Dee1224 · 02/12/2023 13:35

Hi, 30% off decs for me and Percy pigs for DH - he seemed quite pleased.

I laughed when I saw the JL offering - a very specific 20% off sofa beds! Who in their right mind is going to be rushing to do that? (Apologies to anyone who is browsing sofa beds right this minute…)

PickleSmith · 02/12/2023 13:36

Just pop into store and show your window. I promise you'll get your mince pies

WoollyRosebud · 02/12/2023 13:38

Percy Pigs today, hurrah quite pleased with those.

Got a mini mascara yesterday from JL so maybe am on a winning streak. Looking on the very bright side I do the Goss app and got enough points for a Burga $50 gift card. Smart travel mug wending its way to me at the moment

PrettyCherryBlossom · 02/12/2023 15:02

Sadly not, I tried at various times yesterday and first checked today at 7am. Maybe John Lewis have decided I’m not worthy of any treats 😕

Oops this was in reply to @RainbowZebraWarrior

BeaLola · 02/12/2023 16:49

Not bothering with JL as we live so far away

TheM&S one peed me off last year because out of all the "items" I "won" none of them was ever in the very large M&S near me that I go to 3-4 times a week .

So today as I went past I went in for my day 1 gift if an initial decoration - 26 initials to choose from - were any non stock - of course not - according to the staff they haven't had any for ages ...

WoollyRosebud · 02/12/2023 17:06

I certainly wouldn’t make a special trip to any store doing these advent freebies. If I’m passing, go in, find bag of Percy Pigs or whatever that’s a bonus.

CheesyChipsOnWembleyWay · 02/12/2023 17:11

My android phone wouldn't let me open it and it kept saying download the app but then I just tried tapping the door number 2 and it opened anyway

Free Percys for me

Orangeslemon · 02/12/2023 18:40

I got the free 30ml reed diffuser offer which I was very pleased with, although I went in today and they didn’t have any. Make sure to check the Ts and Cs for an alternative if you get a freebie offer as I was able to get a hand cream instead. Most scents were out of stock in the beauty section but there were plenty by the tills!

Dee1224 · 02/12/2023 18:43

DH is REALLY excited about his Percy pigs. He’s never used sparks before, and keeps asking me how to claim his free bag. I know we don’t get out much, but still…

I hope you have a M&S near to pick up these Percy Pigs😁

Dee1224 · 02/12/2023 18:55

I went in today - actually thinking about availing myself of the 30% off decorations deal / but there was practically NOTHING in stock. I think DH is planning a Percy pig retrieval operation next week @User136921

snowfootsteps · 02/12/2023 23:23

Late to the thread
Day 1 - 20% off wrap and cards
Day 2 - Free box of choc truffles. I like M&S truffles so will be picking these up if nearby.
