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!!

My mum just text me and she got a tin of Christmas shortbread Shock how's that fair, she shops in m&s maybe only a handful of times a year.

Cant be down to what you spend in there

frecklejuice · 01/12/2023 10:43

I got a 30ml bottle of Discover Fragrance and JL I got the mascara. Not a bad first day!

I've come to the conclusion that it's the opposite. Same as my Mum gets loads of offers and vouchers for Sainsbury's to tempt her back. I get nowt as I place HER order online every week (but use my nectar card)

I don't spend that much there. I buy some clothes maybe once or twice a year. I'm definitely not getting enticements with 20% off wrapping.

Although I was delighted with the free paper bag recently...

20% off cards and wrapping paper. Not a patch on last years day one gin.

Yes I got this. Rubbish.

Gingernaut · 01/12/2023 11:04

20% off M&S wrap and multipacks of cards - not once have I bought stationery from M&S

CornishGem1975 · 01/12/2023 11:11

Where do you see it in the App? I don't have it.

CornishGem1975 · 01/12/2023 11:15

Dee1224 · 01/12/2023 07:36

Hi, I can’t access the Boots one - my screen just says coming soon. What am I doing wrong?

Mine says the same and the M&S one isn't even in my app!

Dee1224 · 01/12/2023 11:21

Have you tried logging out then back in @CornishGem1975 ? That has just worked for me.

On a related note:

I still can’t access anything from Morrisons or Sainsbury’s. Does anyone know if they are actually doing it?

CornishGem1975 · 01/12/2023 11:22

Just saw on Twitter some responses from M&S and they said to delete the app and reinstall and that worked, 20% of wrapping though. FFS!

StellarSue · 01/12/2023 11:53

ButtonMoonLoon · 01/12/2023 00:04

Ooh I’ve got a free 75ml Fragrance Society hand cream

Same here! How long do we have to claim it?

Pushkinini · 01/12/2023 12:04

20% off wrapping for me too. I spend a load in M&S and my Sparks offers are always rubbish.

isitshe · 01/12/2023 12:11

20% off cards and wrapping too. I was prepared for it to be crap after last year. I'll still check every day though.

Timeforallthecheese · 01/12/2023 12:11

Wondering if Gary Barlow tickets will be this year again too.

AllisColm · 01/12/2023 12:13

I'm thinking that because I got hand cream today it will all go downhill from here 😂

isitshe · 01/12/2023 12:13

What's the Boots one, can anyone link? Is it app only?

isitshe · 01/12/2023 12:15

That's how it was for me last year @AllisColm.
I got the gin on day one & after that it was all nonsense.

WhatICallMyUsername · 01/12/2023 12:18

I got 20% off cards and gift wrap too but remembered I set up a second account last year! Logged into that and got the hand cream. But as we only had food halls in my nearest city it's all pretty useless to me unless I get free gin

Morrisons was in my app this morning, I got 500 points.

JustGotToKeepOnKeepingOn · 01/12/2023 12:45

I got hand cream. I suspect I've peaked far too early.

Kim066 · 01/12/2023 12:52

Just picked up my handcream and it's a decent size. Very pleased.

HeisenbergsPorkPieHat · 01/12/2023 13:13

20% of wrwpping paper and cards. Will use it as need wrapping paper.

last year I got stocking lights. Didn’t bother collecting them

luckylavender · 01/12/2023 13:16

ButtonMoonLoon · 01/12/2023 00:04

Me too

Dee1224 · 01/12/2023 00:05

I genuinely thought they gave everyone a reasonable gift on day one last year, (subject to availability).

Maybe they have decided to stagger it this year for different customers, (clinging desperately onto some small shred of hope🤣)

No last year on Day 1 I got a Christmas decoration which was out of stock. And nothing after.

Needtostartover · 01/12/2023 13:28

30 ml diffuser from M&S (also got myself a Balance scented candle from the range as it smelt so good)

V small mascara from Boots (plug for size comparison.

4 fo 2 between 10:00 - 14:00 BUT there were so many exclusions so didn’t get any.
