What’s good at m&s?

I’ve got £60 of m&s vouchers to spend and need some inspiration- My local m&s is dire so probably will order online. Anyone seen anything good?? Thanks in advance!

I guess the answer is...nothing! Maybe I should just spend it all on food!

You could buy an awful lot of Percy Pigs for that.

BernardsarenotalwaysSaints · 12/02/2019 14:39

Sausage hearts apparently. There's much moaning on a local town's fb page about the lack of them on the shelves.

I would be very tempted to get s bottle of L'Occitane Verbena Eau de Toilette (£49)

WildCherryBlossom · 12/02/2019 14:46

And then make it up to £60 with something dull but useful (tights, pants, an umbrella, socks....)

ChardonnaysPrettySister · 12/02/2019 14:48

I quite like a bit of Ren, or Percy and Teed hair products, not sure what’s online it they have a good beauty selection in stores.

bilbodog · 12/02/2019 15:18

Their suede loafers are very comfortable.

GemmeFatale · 12/02/2019 15:22

Beauty hall or home items I’d say

CatherineMaitland · 12/02/2019 15:26

Tights and silk knickers!

ceeveebee · 12/02/2019 15:53

Ooh thanks all, some good ideas. Didn’t think about the beauty hall. That dress is lovely Processedpea!

Their lighter version of New York perfume is a nice everyday scent. Definitely worth looking at their make up, beauty products and jewellery sections.

championquartz · 13/02/2019 12:09

I'd buy one of their silk tops or shirts.

ChristineBaskets · 13/02/2019 12:17

I like their jewellery because it's all skin kind, I am allergic to all other non-precious jewellery but theirs is great.

I want a tub of Florentyna dusting powder at the moment. I also love their knickers, socks, pyjamas and delicious food!

BlueMerchant · 13/02/2019 12:24

Love their silky pjs, rose bath/body treats and pop to the food hall for a tin of amazing shortbread!

fiorentina · 13/02/2019 13:10

They have some good shoes at times, well worth looking. I personally like some of their more on trend jeans styles as I’m not a jean brand snob. And I’ve had nice white cotton shirts for work from autograph, with slightly different detailing on the sleeves etc.
They have always been complimented.

CountFosco · 13/02/2019 13:45

Their cashmere is good, few nice silk bits and bobs, nice selection of perfume (I'd get a bottle of Shay & Blue).

MyGirlDaisy · 13/02/2019 14:12

I am going to try the Formula skin range as my skin needs an overhaul and I had the advent calendar at Christmas and it had some lovely beauty products in there.

TickVG · 13/02/2019 17:28

Their workout stuff is really good and you can tumble dry it- bonus!

NicoAndTheNiners · 13/02/2019 17:37

Pixi glow tonic.

ceeveebee · 13/02/2019 17:45

Thanks all!

I love their shoes. I would buy a bottle of Shay & Blue Black Tulip perfume though and some nice chocs.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 13/02/2019 18:11

Autograph jeans
Philip K Elasticizer
Knickers
I still like them for work trousers - they've got some nice cropped ones/ones with side stripes etc
Huge bunch of flowers

I would happily spend it all on food!

Beauty-wise, they sell Origins and Stila which have decent skincare and makeup. They stock Phillip Kingsley if you’re interested in the cult Elasticiser product for hair. I believe they sell beauty boxes which have a collection of miniatures if you want to try loads of different things.

Have you considered homeware? It’s boring but their kitchen and bathroom products are of decent quality so if there’s anything you need. They probably stock cosy dressing gowns, bedding, towels etc too. Some of their recent decor items are quite nice.

I don’t buy clothing from them so no recommendations there - it’s rare that I venture out of the food hall!

Iamneverfull · 13/02/2019 19:27

Pixi makeup, I love the blushers, highlighter duo, fairy lights eyeshadow and the skincare
