M&S 12 Days of Sparks shoppers blast gin globe 'disgrace'

Marks & Spencer customers have complained that they are not getting the present they want from the 12 Days of Sparks advent calendar promotion. The special event, which lasts until December 12, means that anyone with the M&S App who signs up for the Sparks card can get a free item every day.

The free gifts include a gin globe, all butter mini shortbread trees, mince pies, Percy Pig lights and tea light-up tins - but some people have been underwhelmed after getting satsumas, money off vouchers and robin tree decorations. Some shoppers have slammed M&S for what they’ve found inside the virtual advent calendar.

Katrine Cassidy said: “I got satsumas so think I’ll find mine no prob.” Emily Harris complained: “Mine’s just a handcream for the first day.” Nikki Wadsworth said: “I got a Robin xmas Dec would of liked the gin lol.”
