I find myself in M&S about to buy threshold amount of stuff anyway, so - should I get the advent calendar too?

Yes. It was lovely last year(enabler)

Talisin · 17/11/2017 14:08

Yes, if you like beauty and skincare. I got last years and it was a fantastic bargain, only reason I didn’t buy it again this time is that the products were too similar to last year and I wanted something new.

Agree with Talisin - last year's was great, and this year's looks just as good if not better.

YesThisIsMe · 17/11/2017 14:20

I guess that commits me to not returning the frock then

Frock looks lovely, calendar was fab last year Grin

dontquotemeondailymail · 17/11/2017 14:22

Yes!

I bought it on a whim last year (totally sucked in by hype!) but I've found I've used pretty much everything. It's opened my eyes to products I'd never have gone for previously - like the liquid gold, which turned out to be amazing.

This year I've put it on my Christmas list Smile

I spent £60 in there yesterday and didnt' pick one up... do you think they will let me have one if i go in with the receipt??

FeedMyFaceWithPeanutButterCups · 17/11/2017 14:25

Glad to hear it's good I got it for my mum for her birthday 😍

applespearsbears · 17/11/2017 14:26

I have and am ridiculous excited about it! Did you get it?

SparklingSnowfall · 17/11/2017 14:27

Ooh frock looks lovely, I’d love the advent calendar but it’s not in my Christmas budget Sad

TodaysFishIsTroutALaCreme · 17/11/2017 14:28

Do not return the frock. It looks goegeous.

uncoolnn · 17/11/2017 14:30

That dress is gorgeous!

jigglytuff · 17/11/2017 14:32

I hope you can return the stuff you bought to get the calendar because I bought a horrible dress so I wouldn’t be tempted to keep it!

YesThisIsMe · 17/11/2017 14:43

20% off the frock (and some socks for DH) so not a bad deal.

And yes I did get the advent calendar. Extremely bad of me (for reasons of Kondo not cash) but I’m v excites. Wondering whether to share with DD (or open it in secret and put the bits I don’t want in her stocking Grin).

I returned the items I bought last year to reach the threshold. No problem at all.
