Who's getting the M&S advent calendar then?

[Anymajordude]

I ordered mine today. So excited, I've never had one before.

Open both!

How on earth do you have an unopened one?

Moi! Got one last year and loved it. Anything I didn't want , I gave as stocking fillers to my teenage daughters. I open 1 a day from december and become childlike with anticipation !

I don't understand - never had one before and was going to get one after reading about it on here. How do you get one for a discount?
On the website it says they're sold out but available in store, £250?

They’re not £250 they’re £35 if you spend £35 in store. So if you have stuff that you need from marks and Spencer’s then it works out well.

I bought Christmas presents.

Can someone with the calendar in their possession give me a rough idea of dimensions? Is it likely to fit in a carry on suitcase?

It would depend how much else you had in there but it fit in my backpack fine when I brought it home. It’s not massive, about the size of a box file?

Youcan you wouldn't be able to take it as carry on luggage because the contents would count as liquids or pastes and would need to be in a clear plastic bag.

I forgot to say that I bought one yesterday while I was spending my M and S vouchers I got for my birthday. I have heard such good things about it on here. DD and I are going to share the contents. There were loads in store.

Thanks for the size info! Helpful. It won't actually BE carry on luggage, no need to worry.

I have last years due to ordering it when I was living abroad (obsessed with beauty products) moved back to uk in June and last years calendar was here at my mums waiting for me!

I open 1 a day from december

Anyone who doesn't is not doing advent calendars properly.

Trills ha ha. What other way is there???

I wasn't going to but got one yesterday.

New Years resolution will be to actually use all the sample bits and pieces I have in the bathroom!

I really enjoyed opening it every day last year.

I went into buy some warmer joggers/exercise pants for me to encourage me to go walking in the cold so figured I deserved a treat!

I got a text today to say my M&S order is being delivered. I got all excited but the calendar has not arrived with the order.
😣

The calendar arrives separately, just wait until that arrives too before picking up your other item(s).

Mine all arrived together. Very exciting.

buster the other way is to binge open the lot in about 4 days like I did with my LF one in October!

My mum's bought one for me as I'm
not in the UK.

I was behind someone at airport security last year who was made to unwrap every single item. I had to go to a different line to avoid the spoiler!

Auntentatious that's funny! Hope you told airport security off and shielded your eyes in an indignant manner.

Mine is so tempting me to open it!!!!!

I know buster
I have put mine in my loft, it’s the only way.

Collected, stashed in my suitcase and checked in. M&S deliver to where I live but not the calendar, the gits. So I'm delivering it to myself.

Mine has arrived

Got mine, looking forward to the s&b thread on it on the 1st! got one for my sister as well and she has started opening it already

That's so naughty!
I've put mine back in the box it came in & parcel taped it up, and stuck in a drawer.
Though I can't wait till December 1st
