Dear Santa, Here Are the M&S Pieces on My Dream Wish List
From cheap and chic homeware to statement cold weather staples, I've assembled my festive shopping list - and everything on it's from Marks & Spencer
The days are darker, the temperatures have plummeted and, as of now, Monster Mash has officially been replaced by Mariah on the airwaves. That can only mean one thing: Christmas is coming. Yep, we’re officially in the throes of the festive season and if there's one high street brand that has truly stepped up to sleigh this season, it's Marks & Spencer who has everything you need to welcome the festive feeling into every corner of your life.
If, like me, you're already contemplating which pieces deserve a spot under the tree, look no further. There's a lot to love from this street hero right now, and this year's holiday shop is packed with the perfect mix of opulent and cosy pieces, perfect for generously gifting loved ones and, of course, treating yourself. M&S has gone above and beyond with dreamy knits that look suspiciously perfect for fireside lounging, glimmering accessories that are just begging for a New Year’s Eve outing, and beauty buys that promise a luxurious little pick-me-up after that fourth round of figgy pudding.
First on my list? A mohair off-shoulder sweater that’s as soft as it is stylish, perfect for dressing up with tailored trousers or keeping it low-key with jeans. Next, a sequined midi skirt that’s ideal for the office holiday bash or, frankly, any evening where you want to feel a bit fabulous. No visit to M&S, both online and IRL, would be complete without a gander at its homeware – I’m be buying me and my bestie matching vases. And as for the stocking? Cram mine full with one of M&S sensational aromatherapy candles and a restock of my favourite Nuxe body oil, please.
Whether you're shopping for family, friends, or simply indulging yourself, M&S has all bases covered this year. So if you’re officially ready start the shopping countdown, scroll down to see the dream M&S picks making the cut on my wish list this year.
