What can I buy from m&s...?

I want the beauty calendar so ‘need’ to spend another £35 there. I’ve been traveling the website and not feeling inspired.

(Don’t you dare suggest the pink dress!)

They have some really nice boots at the moment which are not too expensive. I saw some gorgeous navy ones.

Agree shoes and boots are often good.

I bought several dull work tops - polo necks in 3 colours.

I have 20% off bras, jumpers, and nightwear on my Sparks card. Don't know if both offers can be used together, don't see why not.

*Towels!

Does food count? I think it has to be home/beauty/fashion...

I bought the Sleep Cream which excellent and the Rose Gold perfume, which has had great reviews. The boots do look nice as well.

They had some lovely blouses in, but they were polyester if that bothers you.

I bought MIL some slippers, pants and tights, pretty boring really.

Every year people talk of returning their purchases and keeping the advent calendar, but I've not done it myself.

Ankle boots
Jeans
Cashmere

SpongeBobJudgeyPants · 09/11/2017 21:28

Food doesn't count, sadly.

AnneLovesGilbert · 09/11/2017 21:30

Last year I got some nice stocking fillers and smellies and candles as gifts in the 3 for 2. Easily adds up!

LulusMiniEgg · 09/11/2017 21:30

So annoying, I spent a bloody fortune on post bf underwear a week ago before this advent calendar came out. Grrr.....

ILikeyourHairyHands · 09/11/2017 21:32

REN skincare.

Children's underwear.

I think homeware counts.

DS is going on a residential with school so I got him some joggers, thermals and some long sleeved t-shirts that I was going to buy anyway.

SolemnlyFarts · 09/11/2017 21:35

I got tights and a cup... and a hidden support vest which I hope is good finally getting rid of the saggy breastfeeding vests if this works out

Whatthefoxgoingon · 09/11/2017 21:36

Massive REN Moroccan rose body wash and a pair of pants. Done!

Cakescakescakes · 09/11/2017 21:37

School uniform in the next size up! Would need to buy it eventually anyway b

Sentimentallentil · 09/11/2017 21:40

I got some candles for gifts and some Christmas cards.

MinnieMinchkin · 09/11/2017 21:44

I bought a green autograph top for work, a cashmere star jumper and a pair of ankle boots today. I admit I spent quite a lot more than £35. A bit carried away. Whats the fuss about the advent calendar? They were offering it at the till and said it normally costs £200 which sounded ridiculous!
