I have £40 M&S voucher

[BeverlyGoldberg]

Any suggestions before I piss it up the wall in the food section? I'm not really into their clothes much but quite like decent accessories.

Anyone bought anything nice from there lately?

Nope, hit the food hall. Or buy knickers.

There's a brilliant thread on M&S about two down from here. On that basis I'd say 2 x dine in for £10, tights and an emergent bottle of wine.

Argh sorry didn't see the old thread.

There's really nothing decent in Marks?

I don't like their tights either so it'll be dine in for 2 plus something for DD.

Bollocks. I'm grateful for the present but I could have had more fun in house of Fraser.

Some the jewellery is fun in a sort of maaaad statement necklace way - the chunkier stuff looks like it could be Butler & Wilson but for half the price. Or you could go for an umbrella? You can never have too many umbrellas...

Bugger. I was just about to start a thread asking what to spend 80 quid's worth of M&S vouchers on. Is there nothing...?

I bought a cashmere jumper in the sale with my voucher

the beauty section is worth a look. they have some nice brands.

Beauty section especially if you are shopping online.

Mind you - if you have time and patience you can strike lucky on the clothes but you need to try on and take several sizes in. I almost bought a top yesterday in a size 8 (am usually a 12) but was then "not allowed" to buy a sale top from the boys section as it had been recalled (there were about 10 still on the rack) so I gave up and flounced out

They have some pretty earrings imo and the beauty section has really improved. I got lots of make up in the sale ridiculously cheaply last week. £2 for eye shadow palettes and & £1 for a concealer and tinted moisturiser.

I want to try pixi glow toner but it's £18 so I'd buy that.

I bought my mum a purse for Xmas and was impressed with their selection.

Beauty, definitely! Ours has Pixi, Bliss, Stila, Philip Kingsley, Emma Hardie. So much good stuff!!

Rosie for Autograph silk underwear - beautiful, and they may still have a few things in the sale on the website which are brilliant value.

Nuxe in the beauty section. Huile Prodigieuse is a fantastic product, mainly because it smells wonderful.

Nuxe
Prosecco
Fragrance
Autograph stuff
Good pants

Agree they have a really good beauty dept but I'd hold on to the vouchers until a 20% off promo.
I got some gorgeous cashmere though!

Beauty stuff. Pixi glow is good and I like the rodial skincare.

This is the thread which contains many links on what not to get:

Though I am tempted to egg you on to take one for the team....

Food
Drink
Pants

The Prosecco is lovely.

Rosie silk underwear, or knickers generally. Autograph tights. Or yes to beauty stuff - they have a really good selection now (one of the only good decisions their marketing people have made in the past decade).

Or Autograph black skinnies cost £39.50 and are brilliant.

Beauty dept - get yourself some lovely Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse with some left over.

Rosie silk underwear.
Per Una jeans are a secret gem for pear shapes so worth a look if you have a huge arse are blessed with womanly curves.
Their leather handbags are really good value IMO.
Slippers, nightwear etc.

The new Claudia winkleman stuff is nice, lovely nail polish and hair conditioner.

Emma hardie and Pixi glow tonic. The perfect cleanse and tone combo ( if they aren't out of stock).

I bought an amazing fleece throw there before Christmas for £40. But they're all sold out.

Beauty section is pretty great now.

Tights / socks / knickers.

Home stuff.

They do some good summer flat shoes - last year some v good simple sandals.
