£1 Gift bargains in Marks and Spencer

I don't know if this is happning elsewhere, but my local M&S (Cambridge) had a load of specifically Mother's Day/Easter gifts for £1 amongst their homewares. I spent £16, and got a whole bunch of things including a make mum a cake kit (originally £15) in a tin, a cotton polka dot teddy bear (was £8), two heart-shaped digi photoframe keyrings (8mb - were £15 each)and a cream and black leather photo album (was £19.50!). The whole haul was worth £150 at full price.
TBBH, I wouldn't have bought some of the items full price, but the discount was too good to miss.
If it's happening here, it could be elsewhere too. Happy hunting.
