Much has been made of Amazon's decision to start their sale on Christmas Day – but in actual fact, many online stores have already started their sales – and M&S joined in today as they launched their big sale online at midday – with the stores to follow suit on Boxing Day.
From clothing and beauty to kitchenware and toys, here the store reveals the top bargains to be had online. Most are 50% off – and some are discounted even more.
Top tip: Buy trends you know will last until next season. Leather is likely to stick around for another year as a main trend, and beyond that, will become a classic look – and it lasts too.
Shift dresses are classic and will never date – and it's a good time to update knitwear as M&S's knitwear collection has never been stronger.
And if you're that way inclined, decorations and Christmas accessories have been reduced by as much as 75 per cent. Snap them up now and have them ready for next year.
