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!!

20% off gift wrap
Nearest store is 20 miles away anyway.
But let's see what other amazing treats I'll get then I can hit the city!

Dee1224 · 01/12/2023 08:00

I can’t see anything on Morrisons- what am I doing wrong?

MummBRaaarrrTheEverLeaking · 01/12/2023 08:01

M&S Apothecary diffuser here. So far that's a darn sight better than anything I got last year!

Gowlbag · 01/12/2023 08:02

@Miathecat same thing for me so I reset my password and it works now. Lot of effort for 20% off gift wrap 🤨

YoullCatchYourDeathInTheFog · 01/12/2023 08:23

Boots have now activated their Day 1 window, which is entry into a holiday competition for me.

I'm unconvinced that JL will have enough mini mascaras. Worth it if they do I expect, if you can get someone to make a special trip into your shop in the run up to Xmas they'll probably buy something.

Day 1: 20% of Xmas wrap and cards

I got that too. Sad

ThePurpleGirl · 01/12/2023 08:28

@BlackJumpsuit I had to close my JL app and then restart it and then the calendar doors magically appeared

MathsFiend · 01/12/2023 08:35

Why oh why is the Boots app, like the Boots website, so shite? Logged into the app, tried to click on the calendar, to find I have to enter my email address and password. Even though I am ALREADY LOGGED IN. Which I obviously can’t remember as I’m not a cyborg who retains the thousands of passwords for every fucking company. And I cannot be arsed going through the reset process again. So, fuck Boost and your shitty advent.

My door won’t open! What am I doing wrong? Is it definitely working in Ireland?

I'm in Ireland and it worked for me. That said, they shouldn't have bothered.

Did you click on new offers? You should see the 12 days thing there. Click on "open today's door" and then click on 1.

Jeez...

Talk about managing expectations..I've just got 20% off cards and wrap.

Anti climax.

Same 😑

Lifeinlists · 01/12/2023 08:47

Hand cream. I gave last year's away so doubt I'll get it.JL mascara and Boots says come back tomorrow.

Babysharkdoodoodood · 01/12/2023 08:47

Dee1224 · 01/12/2023 00:12

Well, that’s cheered me up a bit: JL are doing the same thing this year and I have opened my window and won a mini CT mascara!

It will probably be unavailable by first thing tomorrow and I don’t have a JL near me, but still.😄

Edited

Have you got a link. My JL app hasn't got anything like this?

ChessieFL · 01/12/2023 08:55

20% off wrapping paper and cards here too.

Last year I got free shortbread but they had sold out by the time I could get to the shop.

ChessieFL · 01/12/2023 08:57

On the Boots one I got to enter a competition to win a holiday.

hopeishere · 01/12/2023 08:57

I got a free bauble. Disappointed. I got gin on day one last year!! Fingers crossed it gets better.

NotFastButFurious · 01/12/2023 08:58

A free 30ml apothecary diffuser

APurpleSquirrel · 01/12/2023 09:09

20% off cards & wrapping paper - joy 🙄

User136921 · 01/12/2023 09:13

I got the handcream, it's got good reviews on the M&S website for the box of small ones

Dee1224 · 01/12/2023 09:17

@Babysharkdoodoodood - you need to open rewards on your JL account.

BeanyBops · 01/12/2023 09:19

Gift wrap loser here too!

Babysharkdoodoodood · 01/12/2023 09:23

Dee1224 · 01/12/2023 09:17

@Babysharkdoodoodood - you need to open rewards on your JL account.

Thanks. Had to update the app to see it. Same mascara

Jitterybugs · 01/12/2023 09:26

I’ve checked on my John Lewis app. It says sorry we can’t show the 12 treats of Christmas at the moment. 😡

Dee1224 · 01/12/2023 09:27

Perhaps JL have realised that they don’t have 50000 mini mascaras in stock😱

Countmeout · 01/12/2023 10:20

John Lewis I think you have 12 hours to use once you’ve added it and possibly only valid tomorrow

RainbowZebraWarrior · 01/12/2023 10:29

Well I was going to pop to my local M&S today, but after the school run took me 6 times longer than usual, I'm not chancing the local retail Park. About two and a half inches of snow here, gritters hadn't been out and traffic a nightmare.

I had to faff about going from Rewards>home>discover>back to home, then rewarda again to get my JL advent to actually load.
