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!!

Took me a long time to locate the room spray as well! There were some on a table in a gift section, but most of them seemed to be by the self check out in the food section 🤷‍♀️. I've got the nuts one today.

@Tilllly where is the Morrisons one? I can't find it on my more card app anywhere!

Savvy21 · 09/12/2023 08:17

Hoping you lot can help. I got a free 30ml diffuser on the first day and went to my local M and S who said they weren't big enough to get any freebies in. It's two floors. So do you think I'll have any luck at a bigger store? I could phone but that seems a bit cheeky!
Also got 10% off nuts today.

My room spray one said the same in the T & Cs - only a handful of the much larger stores stocking them. I live fairly close to one so went as part of a bigger visit to other stores.

Can you check the details and see which stores?

Savvy21 · 09/12/2023 08:29

@RepetitiveMotion Thanks so much for coming back to me! Just checked the terms and conditions and no luck. Ah well - I love a random outing and at least for the store I'm thinking of the parking is free. Will pick up some nice nuts as well. 😄

WhatICallMyUsername · 09/12/2023 08:41

Finally a freebie! Free hanging tree decoration when I live somewhere that only has food halls!

APurpleSquirrel · 09/12/2023 08:54

My first freebie! A Percy Pig Train filled with chocolate coins?
Might have to make special trip just to get that!

Sorry if I’m being stupid but - how does actually using the offers work?

I’ve got 20% off frozen food for today. Still got free choc coins and 20% of biscuits available.

If I went into M&S food today and did a shop that included all of those would I get all the discounts when they scan my sparks card? Or does it not work like that?

Yes it applies automatically when you scan your Sparks card at the checkout as long as you actually loaded the offer. Check that it's showing on the "Offers Added" tab on the app. Ditto if you have a freebie, it adjusts the price to zero.

Omg that is such a good one! I got 10% off nuts Confused

Trufflemarmite · 09/12/2023 10:00

20% off frozen food for me too

bigTillyMint · 09/12/2023 10:03

I picked up
20% off slippers
10% off plants
20% off wrap
20% off frozen
plus a gastro dine in when I popped into M&S earlier.

The only freebie I’ve had so far was free Autograph fragrance, but as we only have 2 food and drink stores nearby, no chance of getting that!

8misskitty8 · 09/12/2023 10:45

20% of frozen.

Thought is was only 1 free thing ? But some have had 2 !
Hoping I get another freebie and it’s better than the lip balm that I can’t use.

8misskitty8 · 09/12/2023 13:01

Friend just messaged me. She got free frozen desert balls yesterday and free percy pigs sweets today !

bruffin · 09/12/2023 13:05

I got a free Danish today, im diabetic and dont eat cakes much anymore, DS got a discount on nuts, he has nut and seeds allergies Xmas Hmm

IGotItFromAgnes · 09/12/2023 13:08

Free chocolate coins. Which is better than money off, but I don’t really like the coins so won’t be making a special trip out to get them.

ChessieFL · 09/12/2023 13:15

I’ve just been in and picked up my free room spray and used the money off offers on port, Christmas cake, Christmas pudding, biscuits and wrapping paper. Saved about £15 altogether so not bad!

toprump · 09/12/2023 14:18

I got £1 off port decanters!

Do I get a prize for most random offer?

You do as that is just bizarre 🤣🤣🤣

Dee1224 · 09/12/2023 15:43

@8misskitty8
I couldn’t use the lip balm either. They let me substitute for the orange and bergamot hand and nail cream.

Sallyingon · 09/12/2023 17:14

20% off frozen for me. Might see if there are any cool Christmas desserts, quite liked the Rudolph baked Alaska last year

ifIwerenotanandroid · 09/12/2023 17:34

I got the frozen food offer, which is at least useful. Haven't tried to redeem any offers yet & it will be interesting when I do, as they show on the w/s on my computer but not in the app on my phone. Will I get them? Oh, the suspense!

DH went to M&S without me today & came home with a copy of the Times with my favourite section missing. At this point I feel M&S are trolling me.

chimichangaz · 09/12/2023 18:01

Ooh am I the only one to have had a free tin of coffee?! My first freebie 🥳
