Offers include discounts on M&S Clothing, Home, Food and beyond – with the M&S Belgian Collection Biscuit Tin proving to be the customer favourite offer so far.

We’ve already seen 800k customers get involved and take advantage of the brilliant offers available – from the exclusive Gary Barlow competition to free giveaways to big discounts on your Christmas shopping. With several days still to go, customers should get in quick to download the M&S App and ensure they don’t miss out!”
