M&S Advent Calendar

What is usually offered in the advent calendars from M&S?

I will look out for it. DS's partner's birthday is 30th November and that would be ideal.

BTW, is that the Walking in a Whisky Wonderland or Gins of Christmas advent calendar? !

never purchased or been given an Advent calendar in my life. I can't see the point. also damn companies bombard us with gift catalogues, raffle tickets etc from about August. Makes me mad. anything like that sent to me before the end of October goes straight in the bin without being read. Yep bah Humbug

Depends what the gifts are!

Oh Gineagirl you are naughty! I bet you used to search the house for your (hidden) presents when you were little ( like my sister did!) ?

Id only ever thought about them in the sense of "waste of money" because they always have something in I wont use.

But for someone on their own I guess opening something they havent actually chosen themselves and having a surprise must mean a lot.

I agree, it is a good calendar, I’m not getting a calendar this year, I open them daily then think oh sod it and open them all ? as I can’t wait.

I had a Fortnum and Mason tea one given to me a couple of years ago and had a different flavoured teabag everyday - it was lovely.

annsixtyThe last few years I have shared the M & S calendar with my daughter, one year she had even numbers I the odd ones and vice versa. She is moving out in November so having the goodies all to myself will be a form of comfort as I shall miss her and our GC so very much.

Oh. Don't tempt me! I have the boots no. 7 one on order.

Off to order one just for me!!!

Good point Annsixty
DD bought me one when Paw died - I was hugely appreciative!

Thanks ann. I've not thought seriously about it before but this year I suspect temptation will overcome me. Enjoy the anticipation of yours.
