Tis the season...

The first one I've seen actually for sale is the John Lewis Beauty Advent Calendar. £149 with a great selection of products.
Ordered mine!

Can't see a Debehams reduction sadly.

MotherofTerriers · 06/11/2017 12:05

I think the You Beauty one might get discounted

BitOutOfPractice · 08/11/2017 07:12

No sign of an email from M&S here...

LightastheBreeze · 08/11/2017 12:34

M&S are in store on Thursday, haven't had an email back yet for online, maybe early tomorrow

Annabelle4 · 08/11/2017 12:37

Wishiwasacollie, benefit do have one but it's only a 12 day one.

Aridane · 08/11/2017 17:34

Newcomer to the thread.

How much is the M&S one? And is there a minimum store spend before you can purchase?

LightastheBreeze · 08/11/2017 18:33

Looks like £35 spend and then buy calendar for £35

wishiwasacollie · 08/11/2017 18:36

Annabelle4. Thats the one i ordered and they cancelled then explained they are not releasing them

Annabelle4 · 08/11/2017 18:42

Ah, that's so disappointing

cardoon · 08/11/2017 19:40

Any £35 "must haves" from M&S? I don't have much time to browse tomorrow morning and need to be in and out quick with my beauty calendar

MinniesAndMickeysNeedCounting · 08/11/2017 20:24

I usually get 2, one to open daily and then one as a present on Christmas day. This year we've hit a financial wall, bit gutted and wish I hadn't wondered back in here Envy

Aridane · 08/11/2017 21:05

Oh dear, a £35 spend...

Can you buy stuff go get the calendar and then return the stuff?

Aridane · 08/11/2017 21:07

So, yes, any £35 staples from M&S?

Aridane · 08/11/2017 21:11

Does food count?

SpongeBobJudgeyPants · 08/11/2017 21:12

Home and clothing only I believe.

SpongeBobJudgeyPants · 08/11/2017 21:14

I looked for a nice jumper...not that I could see. But there are some nice undies/nighties which I am too fat to want to invest in

SpongeBobJudgeyPants · 08/11/2017 21:15

I think some people on here last year talked about having returned purchases to qualify for the calendar, without incident.

Aridane · 08/11/2017 21:18

Oh dear- I wanted to buy three calendars - who can I possibly get up to a £105 spend? That’s a lot of leggings and black opaque tights!

I could try the buy and return route - but a bit high risk

Is it just in store tomorrow or will it be available online from midnight?

SpongeBobJudgeyPants · 08/11/2017 21:37

Dunno Aridane. The website is being quite coy...

Rachie1986 · 08/11/2017 21:43

A tweet from m&s indicated 9am online...
