For those with a Sparks card this year's advent calendar is available to order from today.
For those of you who feel this is just an extravagance and not in the spirit of the season, please spare a thought for those of us who get pleasure from it and may not get much joy and good cheer at this time of year for all sorts of reasons.

I have checked my emails and the M&S site still no offer of a M&S Beauty Calendar for me yet, despite being a Sparks Card holder.

I don't want much, just the Dior and Liberty ones please (in case a relative reads this)!

A little off topic but a couple of weeks ago there was a thread about 20% off codes at M&S. I used to get loads of these by email but it’s occurred to me I haven’t had one for a couple years. I do have a Sparks card.

The ‘Liberty’s’ one is fantastic value.

£600 worth of goodies for £200 outlay.

It's available from the 31st instore (if there's any left).

I’ve bought my daughter the Boots calendar, The 12 Socks of Christmas! All Disney ankle socks! She is 31 but will love it. A pair every other day!

I bought the M&S one as a deserved treat for a dd one year. She loved it.

For myself I usually buy an old fashioned calendar just with little pictures. Never had one as a child so it's a sort of (daft) nostalgia.

I keep searching my emails for the offer, but nothing yet and I have a Sparks card. However, the Opi one sounds good as DDil is a nail polish fan. I shall investigate.

BlueSapphire, have you tried going into your Sparks account and looking? My offer was sitting there, waiting to be added to my card.

BlueSapphire Mon 28-Oct-19 16:18:53

Yes Marydoll, I have done that a couple of times but still nothing. And I am a Premium Club member as well!
However, I went into Boots this morning where they had the No7 one, so I have bought that instead for DDil, and sworn the DGDs to secrecy. They thought that their DM would love it.

I am also still waiting for my offer of the advent calendar. I too am a premium club member as well as Sparks member so not sure how this works, seems a bit unfair really. confused

Marydoll Mon 28-Oct-19 17:26:07

I would email customer services and ask why you haven't been offered one.

Are these advent calendars good? Have to confess rarely use my Sparks card.

I’ve always bought the M&S childrens advent calendars as they seemed to be the only one connected to Christmas. Don’t tell me they’re not doing it this year?!

The M&S calendar this year has contents worth over £200 - for just £35 - its the best value beauty advent calendar there is.
