Back to M&S after a couple of years off for me this year, I don’t think that we have a thread already?

Usual rules apply, no spoilers before 7am, looking forward to tomorrow! 🎄

Me too, thank you for the thread 😊

Placemarking, I've got one for the first time!

FayKnights · 30/11/2025 20:22

Thank you!
I’ve just seen a Liberty thread and was looking for an M&S version.
Excited to open number 1 tomorrow.

Looking forward to joining in on this one … despite only buying a couple of weeks ago and studying the list in detail to decide whether it was a good buy for me, I already can’t remember a thing that is in it!

TokyoSushi · 30/11/2025 20:31

Me neither! So it really will be a surprise!

Thank you for the thread @TokyoSushi ! I’ve got an M&S and have never had one before so really looking forward to it. Thank you for the no spoilers before 7am rule, I really appreciate it and think it makes for a nice thread 🥰.

ThePoshUns · 30/11/2025 20:54

I had the M&S one last year it was 50/50 so hoping for better this year. I love the look of this years

RainbowZebraWarrior · 30/11/2025 20:56

Hello and checking in. Thanks for the thread.

December? Tomorrow? Really?

<checks temperature, 0 degrees, oh, yep>

jay55 · 30/11/2025 21:14

Ooo I need to find where I’ve put it. Exciting. I’ve totally forgotten what is meant to be in it.

Unexpectedlysinglemum · 30/11/2025 21:19

My first ever beauty advent calendar!

RJnomore1 · 30/11/2025 21:27

Checking in, DH bought me one this year

profiterolesarelovely · 30/11/2025 21:41

Ooh - I bought one for me and one for my 19 year old niece. We plan to message each other and compare. Looking forward to it!

SomethingAboutNothing · 30/11/2025 21:42

Checking in! Have had an m&s advent calendar before but not for a couple of years, so I'm hoping it will be good.

bloomingheather · 30/11/2025 22:43

Thanks for this! Marking my place for tomorrow too. I wasn't planning on getting myself an advent calendar this year and didn't have one last year because we have my son's birthday in December and it's all a bit much but they had 25% off it yesterday when I was in buying Christmas presents so went for it on impulse. I'm looking forward to it!

coloursquare · 30/11/2025 22:56

Marking place. Never had one either!

Merrilydancing · 30/11/2025 22:57

Can’t wait!

SpinningaCompass · 30/11/2025 23:04

👋

Puravida23 · 30/11/2025 23:06

I am surprisingly on this thread after the recent M&S offer on the advent made it too hard to resist. It’s still in the cardboard box it came in but looking forward to getting it out and opening the first day tomorrow with you all

RipePeach · 30/11/2025 23:23

Thank you for the thread. I’m really looking forward to opening my calendar in the morning and these threads are all part of the enjoyment!

sciaticafanatica · 01/12/2025 06:32

I’ve opened it and I’m pleased with today’s item

evilharpy · 01/12/2025 06:56

Opened mine, love the item.
