How many products are repeated?
I did not get a chance to review the advent last year as it was a fast sell-out. After digging through last year’s list, I see only 1 repeated product in this year’s calendar.
What is different to last year?
By changing the colour scheme and providing a soft velvet bag with individually boxed products, I feel like M&S has really hit the mark design-wise. This is what I would expect from M&S, whereas last year’s calendar felt very rushed to be put together.
My Thoughts
Priced at £315.00 RRP, you get what you pay for. However, M&S offers an amazing deal where it costs just £50.00 after spending £35.00 on beauty, home, and/or clothing. For example, if I buy two jumpers totalling £40.00, I can add the advent calendar for £50.00. This means I’d get two jumpers and the advent calendar for £90.00, saving £225.00. There are plenty of items to choose from, and it works out well if there’s already something you want from the beauty, home, or clothing ranges!
In my opinion, while the full price reflects what you get, I wouldn’t spend £315.00. But if you’re picking it up for £50.00, it’s an absolute steal. It offers a great mix of products in a gorgeous carry case. I’d say this is ideal for someone around 28 years old and up.
