The Selfridges mince pie one is in stock now, I've had one delivered today for DS 😀

Mince pie advent calendar

Thank you very much, I've just ordered one, very excited after being too late to get one for several years! x

For my husband, first Christmas as husband and wife. He normally gets one for me so I thought I would splash out!

I’m obsessed with Resse’s peanut butter cups at the moment so I’ve gone for that but I’m nervous as I don’t know if I’ll like the white ones.

My toddler has a Gruffalo book calendar, a Peppa Pig book calendar, and the M&S chocolate lolly calendar.

I'm looking for a Marks and Spencer Mountain Bar one that was mentioned on MumsNet. In the interim, I've bought myself a Maltesers Advent Calendar just in case.....

DH and I have treated ourselves to the Taskmaster Advent Calendar again this year. I wanted to get DS a Duplo one but Lego haven’t produced one again this year so I’ve bought him a 23 piece Duplo set and some reusable bags, I’ll pop some chocolate coins in the 24th bag.

I’m following this thread but haven’t plumped yet. Thanks for the inspiration everyone

Rituals have last year’s advent calendar in their outlet shops. Not sure of the price sorry.

John Lewis - Lakrids of Bülow Advent Calendar

Oooh I love Lakrids but only the original so the AC would be wasted on me .
I could buy myself a jar though .......and eat One A Day .

I’m looking for a coffee advent calendar if anyone has seen any good deals. Currently looking at the pact one with a free v60 thing for £40.

PearlsTeapot · 29/10/2026 09:26

I'm after a Tony's one- anyone seen it in stock anywhere?

GentleSheep · 29/10/2026 09:26

Bonne Maman, was £28 from Ocado. Yes expensive, was thrilled with last year's so have bought it again as a treat!

Thanks! The one supermarket we dont have. I'll take a drive to the next town and try there.

Typical isn't it!

I'm looking for a Marks and Spencer Mountain Bar Advent Calendar - been into 3 stores and not even seen an empty shelf space for it. I will ask in-store next visit.

I did post this on the Christmas Bargains thread a couple of days ago but I managed to get the Degustabox advent calendar for £27.99 delivered as a present for DBro

the code was HALLOWEEN

I used Top Cashback - but weirdly when I went direct to Groupon on my phone for the link for the other thread, the same code was only getting it down to £31.99.

so my advice is to have a faff about on different devices to see what deal you can get (if you want one!) they had a reasonable mix last year - which was good for £27-28 (what I paid last year for one) but I’m glad I hadn’t paid £35-40

Do you think they are doing the M&S one this year? I can’t find anything online to suggest they are.

ChannelLightVessel · 29/10/2026 10:37

You can get the Tony’s calendar at Boots as well.

ChannelLightVessel · 29/10/2026 10:39

Looking at the M & S app (under food in store), they are doing chocolate lollies, Big Daddy and Choc Marks calendars this year, but no mention of mountain bars I’m afraid.

Someone on Mumsnet thought so. 🤷

I'm trying to decide if I can bear parting with £50 for this, I really want it though

Any ideas for an 11 year old girl? Bit too young for beauty. Maybe nails or bath/shower stuff, or crafts?
