M&S is giving shoppers free advent calendars - here are the great gifts you can get inside

Marks & Spencer is giving shoppers an advent calendar each - and they're completely free.

The retailer has launched the Sparks 12 Days of Christmas digital advent calendar – and all Sparks app users can get it for free.

Every day from 1-12 December, Sparks customers will receive a special festive offer to use across M&S Clothing, Home, Food and beyond, reports the Manchester Evening News.

But each door can only be opened and claimed ON THE DAY – so customers should make sure they’re signed up to Sparks and have the M&S App downloaded onto their smartphone, ready to take advantage of the first prize drop on Wednesday.

On one of the 12 days, customers will have the chance to enter a draw for a chance to win two tickets to an Exclusive Sparks VIP Gary Barlow Christmas Performance and Q&A.

A hundred pairs of tickets are up for grabs, for the Sparks-exclusive event taking place in London before Christmas.

Sparks customers will have to visit the app each day and open the door to find out.

Other prizes include a draw for 100 signed copies of M&S brand ambassador Holly Willoughby’s new book Reflections, 15 personal Christmas video messages from England Rugby star and M&S brand partner Maro Itoje and various giveaways and discounts off your shopping at M&S this Christmas.

This includes 25 x £1,000, 100 x £500 and 100 x £250 M&S gift cards and 100 M&S Snowglobe Gins.

Danielle Papagapiou, head of loyalty at M&S, said: "Through Sparks we're aiming to help our customers have the most fantastic Christmas this year, and we've pulled out all the stops to offer 12 consecutive days of M&S offers, treats and rewards to kick off December.

"Each day we'll be offering a new surprise for every customer in their Sparks hub on the M&S App and hope it will add a little bit of M&S Sparkle to their festive shopping this Christmas."

Here's how to use the advent calendar, according to M&S: "Each door can only be opened and claimed on its respective day. Any doors not opened will expire at midnight and cannot be claimed retrospectively.

"Validity periods will vary – for example, Food offers are valid for 7 days while partnership offers will be valid for even longer."
