I’m a Shopping Editor, and Here’s What I’d Like From M&S for Christmas, Please

When the M&S Christmas ad airs on TV, you know that we’re officially entering the festive season. Over the last week or so, the high street has well and truly embraced the spirit of the season with everything from stocking fillers to party dresses to glitter-strewn decorations. (I’ve even spotted the odd Christmas tree in a few living-room windows.) Is it just me, or are people keen this year? And let’s be honest, after last year’s Christmas, we are very much deserving of full-blown festivities. Naturally, as a shopping editor, I have already started my wish list. (Yes, I am one of those people, and I’m okay with it.) And M&S’s Christmas edit has provided plenty of yuletide inspo.

From cosy homeware and enviable accessories to classic coats and beauty buys, there’s so much to love from this high-street stalwart. Naturally, M&S’s cashmere is at the top of my list, and while I love all the vibrant shades (festive jumpers have never looked so chic), I have a particularly soft spot for the orange-red iteration. Christmas is also the perfect opportunity to ask for those little treats that make life cosier during the winter months. Think cashmere socks, shearling slippers and bobble hats—all affordable but undeniably mood-boosting. So if you’re wondering which M&S items a shopping editor adds to her Christmas wish list, feel free to scroll down to see and shop my edit.
