Toniesbox doesn’t seem to be sold by M&S ….

I hadn’t heard of these Tonie box toys till a few days ago. The M&S link appears to lead directly to the Toniebox website. The purchase is directly from them rather than M&S. They must be significantly over priced if they can give a 20% discount to M&S customers and presumably M&S are on commission for sending us to them.

Another Tonies bundle here - offering 32% saving.
Yesterday I did buy the crisps then smiled at the marketing ploy. Not today though!

Pleased the app worked for you nadateturbe and that you and your DH did so well.
👍
A wider picture of the scheme together with the thoughts of posters whose names I know well is more interesting than the 12 days themselves!

I got the light up tea lantern.

Dotty123 Sat 03-Dec-22 11:16:11

Gin for me on Day 1, 20% off wrapping paper yesterday, and something off Tonies toys today.

JdotJ Sat 03-Dec-22 11:16:40

I got the snow globe gin on my advent. Not that I can redeem it as its nowhere to be found at M&S (all gone!)

Dotty123 Sat 03-Dec-22 11:23:12

JdotJ - sorry to hear that. My nearest M&S Foodhall is just a short car ride away and they had dozens on Day 1. Must admit I did go there earlier rather than later just in case…! Very clever marketing M&S.

nadateturbe Sat 03-Dec-22 11:28:44

Nothing much today for either of us. 15% off alcohol.😏

Theexwife Sat 03-Dec-22 11:31:11

Tonies for me too.

jocork Sat 03-Dec-22 11:37:22

I have a tea light up lantern and 2 money off offers that don't interest me. I'll probably try to claim everything on the 12th if there is anything left. I opened day 1 then forgot about it 'til I saw this post today!

semperfidelis Sat 03-Dec-22 12:08:04

I have a free white sliced loaf waiting for me in M&S. I don't think I'll be braving the crowds!

Aveline Sat 03-Dec-22 12:32:38

Handcream sold out in my local branch. After dangling that useless carrot if all they're offering is going to be discounts off things I'm not interested in then not sure I'll bother checking any more.

Mini shortbread Christmas tree biscuits here

Fudgemonkey Sat 03-Dec-22 12:53:06

I had football bag of chocs, clearly don't spend enough 🤣

jmsburnham Sat 03-Dec-22 13:01:04

Snow Globe Gin - Yipee!!

Greciangirl Sat 03-Dec-22 13:08:19

I don’t seem to have any freebies, just money of offers.

After reading the T&C’s it seems that you do have to redeem in store within 48 hours. One offer only

As I understand it each offer has to be accepted within 48 hours and redeemed by 12 December. I got the gin, plenty in stock at my M&S.

Amalegra Sat 03-Dec-22 13:30:43

20% off something I don’t want! Never visit M&S much these days as the nearest proper store is miles away. They closed the two local ones. Food store is nearer but if I feel like a treat I go to Waitrose which is much nearer. Order from Marks online sometimes but am a bit disgruntled M&S ignore their core customers so much with all these closures. They are not doing so well as a business either!

FannyCornforth Sat 03-Dec-22 13:32:00

Thank you Hallgreenmiss

FannyCornforth Sat 03-Dec-22 13:32:27

Enjoy your gin! 🍸

grannydarkhair Sat 03-Dec-22 13:42:43

Chocolate footballs. 20% off wrapping paper, etc. Tonie boxes. I’m happy with the chocolate, I’ve had them before. Won’t bother with the other two.
I don’t spend much in M&S, and it’ll be even less soon, they’re closing the very easy to get to store and expanding/opening a new one further from the town centre. Apparently, the old store needs a lot of work/money spent on it due to structural problems.

First gift Bucks Fizz, second 2 money off cream liqueur and Tonies box. Will we get anymore free gift or are they all going to be money off putchases,

AreWeThereYet Sat 03-Dec-22 14:53:24

TonieBox discount today. Already given one away that youngest GS had no interest in after about a month so don't want another one.

On the brighter side did manage to pick up the hand cream on our second attempt. Smells quite nice so I might even use it 😁

DianaLouise Sat 03-Dec-22 14:53:56

day one some hand cream day 2 15% a packet of crisps and today reduction off of tonies bundle (never seen or heard of them)
