Marks and Spencer has launched its festive range which they say it their best yet. With gifts ranging from a pretty light-up selection through to plenty for under £5 they say there is something for everyone.
Items include gorgous Going Gnome for Christmas Chocolates through to drinks of both non-alcoholic and alcoholic varieties. They even have a chocolate jenga for those who like to play with their food!
Launching the collection it said: "Our experts have spent over a year perfecting the range, working with the very best producers, sourcing the highest quality ingredients, and creating the most stunning packaging too."
Many of the gifts are now on sale in M&S stores with others to be introduced as the festive season gets closer. Here is a look as some of their favourites and what they have to say about them.
