I usually always get the M&S one but thought it was poor last year so went for Glossybox instead.  Ended up selling quite a few bits on Vinted as I wouldn't use them and overall was a bit disappointed.  I am thinking of holding on for the M&S one again this year, and hoping it's a good 'un.

I'll definitely update the blog when the M&S calendar comes out - people seem to think it'll cost £60, but only when you spend £35 across fashion, home and beauty. What do you think about that?

I've added Glossybox into the blog - it's top for value, with an 85% saving! Very impressive. 

I would rather you didn't have to buy something in order to get it at £60. I usually take the £35 item back unless it's something I really want!

I can't imagine spending £35.00 at M&S.

I've not been in their store for at least 3 years.

I'd have no problem spending £35 at M&S! The clothes and shoes in particular have massively improved in recent years - plus they do lots of non M&S brands these days.

If you find yourself in Somerset.  There is a big shopping village in Street, near Glastonbury.  It’s called Clark’s Village (after the shoe people).  There is a large M & S there to indulge your bargain hunting😺. The car park is huge but it gets very busy.  

I went there when it first opened, but it's not easy to get to from London & sans car... Thank you for the suggestion though.
