M&S Christmas Light-up Gin! ???

I was given the M&S bottle as a gift and it is really lovely.

How do they light up?

Right. An apology. I’ve been had. It doesn’t in fact light up.
It’s just got gold leaf in it.
So it’s like a snow globe.
I could have sworn last year’s ones lit up?
Does anyone know?

Yes ! Last year's did light up - I still have it and a small drop left - not because I didn't like it though! There is a button set into the base of the bottle that you press and the whole bottle lights up and the gold flakes swirl like snow when you shake it.

I knew it! Grrr!
What a scam!

Thank you, by the way Floosy

I can also confirm that it lights up. ?

I couldn’t get one last year for love nor money.
The bottle was etched as well, wasn’t it?

Does this years light up? I am confused. I had never heard of this till now and I want one. I feel you have all dangled something in front if me and then snatched it way

There is fancy pattern on the bottle and if I was at home I would describe it to you FannyC

No Galaxy. No it ^does not light up^
Unlike last year’s ones, which were like hen’s blooming teeth

Parsley this year’s second rate offering has got rather ugly Nutcracker men on them

would you like me to go and fondle one in the M&S foodhall to find out?

See how happy I was at 7.12 am, compared with my disillusionment now

That is how I feel too

btw nutcrackers etc. It was never really a thing here in the Uk was it? I first started seeing them in TKMaxx

I like those wooden things though with the the candles and thw hizz round. I'm not sure what they are called. There is one in Chevy Chase and the brother in law breaks it...

World shattered in a matter of hours.
I need to get posh advent calender quickly dont I? I decided to treat myself last year because lockdown and they were all sold out, only rubbish left. I might get a gin one.

You’re right there Galaxy!
And I’ve got a renewed spring in my limp! Advent Calendars!

Let’s regroup and report back on our choices

I havent drunk alcohol all year so I feel completely justified in having a drink every morning over the festive period. Work might not be so keen though.

I had light up Gin liqueurs from M&S last year.
Love gin so I bought the Clementine one, the Elderflower one and the Rhubarb one. The spiced plum one will be on the list this year.
Fanny I can send you an (empty) light-up bottle ?
They were very pretty, shame the design has changed.

Ooh that’s lovely Tilly
This year’s aren’t a patch on that

I would have bought one of those light up ones….and I don’t even like gin!

I made a couple of light up bottles for GD2. I bought those cork things which contain the battery and voila, fairy lights in a bottle. I am a fairy light addict though. ?

That’s really pretty Tilly

Oh TillyTrotter you tease. Now searching eBay for last years bottles.
