M&S 12 days of Sparks - it's back!

Can't see a thread, please correct me if I'm wrong.

M&S has brought back its 12 days of Sparks offers. It was notoriously bad last year, but day 1 and I have a free hand cream to pick up in store. Not sure if I'll get the chance, but seems a stronger start than last year at least.

Robin tree decoration , (which was not available in store yesterday)
15% of liqueur
Discount for Tonies
Nothing I need /want so far

Peridot1 · 03/12/2022 09:19

I got the 32% of Tonies too. No young children to buy for so won’t use it.

Where I was coming from yesterday with my comment about people sounding ungrateful is that moaning about having to pay for parking to get to M&S or that you got shortbread but you are low carbing or you don’t like Percy Pigs or the Robin doesn’t go with you tree does sound ungrateful when you think that some people are on the bones of their arse this year and would be grateful for anything. Maybe some of the comments were meant as light hearted and I read them wrong. Quite possible! I know it’s a marketing thing for M&S and I’ve only started using my Sparks card again recently as it’s so rubbish. So I was quite happy with a free handcream and my discount on jeans yesterday as I was buying a pair anyway. Anyway - happiness and light everyone and a light up gin bottle would go down well!

ThatsGoingToHurt · 03/12/2022 09:30

32% off Tonies here! I’m considering getting DC a Yoto for Christmas as the cards are cheaper than the Tonie figures.

Day 1 was the free light thingy. Day 2 was 20% of wrapping paper.

Fingers crossed for gin, prosecco, or anything Percy pig related!

Frostine · 03/12/2022 09:45

I should imagine we all have the Tonies discount today.

has anyone cracked open their gin ? What is it like ?

LookdeepintotheAdvent · 03/12/2022 10:00

Tonies here too 😒

But on the plus side, I picked up a bottle of cream liqueur with yesterday's discount so am pleased with that!

Neverknowinglysensible · 03/12/2022 10:03

It must be Tonies for all today. Yesterday was 15% off a pack of crisps, wtf?
However, I was pleased with my free bag of Percy Pigs on Thursday - I’d forgotten how nice they are!

Cantonet · 03/12/2022 10:04

@Frostine it's very sweet.
I bought DD a bottle last year, as they looked so pretty. She still has some left, as it's far too sweet to drink on its own. Nice with Prosecco she says.

ChessieFL · 03/12/2022 10:42

Sold out of shortbread today so wasn’t able to collect my freebie! Hopefully there will be some next weekend before the voucher expires.

OldTinHat · 03/12/2022 10:49

I had the Tonies discount as well today. Bah. And it started so well with the free bottle of gin...

mam0918 · 03/12/2022 10:50

I got chocolate coins, % off shortbread and % off tonies.

Really hoping for Gin at some point... starting to think I wont get one.

Mrsfussypants1 · 03/12/2022 11:01

I got christmas percy pigs, money of crisps, money off tonies bundle. Quite happy with the percy pigs, I'll pop them in dgds stocking but bit of a faff at the checkout, apparently there's two types of christmas percys, and only one type works with the voucher and they look quite similar that I almost missed it and would've ended up buying them. Can't complain as its a freebie, hoping for a discount on their own brand baileys though.

hoochyhag · 03/12/2022 11:45

Tonies offer today, wrapping paper yesterday and tea on Thursday.

Picked up the tea today, they had loads there, and, yes bought some flowers too Blush

I really don't think I would bother with calling in unless it was a nice little gift (we were chuffed with the tea) or a discount off something I was actually intending to buy.

However it's made me download the app and focused me on stuff they want to sell to me Wink

WellWoman · 03/12/2022 12:04

I was pretty happy on day one with the handcream, but day two's 15 per cent of just one range of crisps was underwhelming. Today I got the chance to enter a draw to win tickets for The Snowman. I'm not the right target audience for this (DCs too old for that sort of theatre) so I'm now getting sniffy. Hoping for at least one more proper freebie in the next nine days!

WellWoman · 03/12/2022 12:05

ARGH....15 per cent off!

OrigamiOwls · 03/12/2022 12:57

My first reward was the plush Percy pig decoration but it seems to be out of stock!

Sewaccidentprone · 03/12/2022 13:03

Got a free tea light lantern. It’s really nice. But other offers so far are discounts on things I wouldn’t buy.

wonder how the algorithm works as it’s given me a discount on Tonies, which just seems oddly specific!

JulesJules · 03/12/2022 13:56

PomRuns · 03/12/2022 07:29

1 Percy pig bauble
2 20% off Prosecco
3 Tonies

Not treats at all !

This is exactly the same as mine - I wonder if we will be the same every day <stalks you>

CornishGem1975 · 03/12/2022 14:01

Day 1 - Percy Pigs
Day 2 - 15% off cream liqueur
Day 3 - 32% off tonies

FormerlySpeckledyHen · 03/12/2022 14:39

Sotd is Fidgi.. I’m back to being 25 again.

FormerlySpeckledyHen · 03/12/2022 14:39

Wrong thread!

ImprobablePuffin · 03/12/2022 14:54

So far I've had:

  1. satsumas
  2. 15% off liqueur chocolates
  3. prize draw for the snowman

Hoping it picks up a little if I'm honest

Mutual stalking @JulesJules

<not over invested>

TheTantrumoftheToddlerIsThere · 03/12/2022 15:13

Day 1- Free bottle of Sugar Plum Gin (claimed)
Day 2- 20% of bottle of M&S Prosecco (claimed)
Day 3- 32% off Tonies (shan’t be claiming!)

very impressed with free gin and cheap prosecco 🤣

IWillBeWaxingAnOwl · 03/12/2022 15:24

Day 1: free Percy Pigs Christmas sweet
Day 2: 15% off crisps
Day 3: Tonies offer you mostly have gotten

Not for me so far but we will see how the rest go!

SocksAndTheCity · 03/12/2022 15:44

I went to pick up my handcream and couldn't find any, so that was a good start. I did try a tester of an Apothecary one which was very nice.

I'm waiting to see if I get any alcohol ones given that I don't drink and have never purchased alcohol in M&S.🤔
