Black Friday is almost here, and you know what that means… the deals are about to drop!


It's that glorious time of year when you can finally grab those cosy, quality bits you've been eyeing up without totally rinsing your student loan.


And with the Marks and Spencer student discount making everything even cheaper, your wallet can breathe a sigh of relief.


Let's dive into what everyone was snapping up last year…


Top 5 key insights


Comfort is King (or Queen)


Let's be real, your student flat is basically a walk-in fridge in winter. That's why you all went wild for M&S's cosy loungewear. Pyjama sets and fleecy dressing gowns flew off the shelves, proving that looking cute while watching lectures from bed is a top priority. Don't be the only one without a new PJ set this winter.


Gifting Made Easy


Struggling to find Christmas presents that don't scream 'broke student'? You're not alone. Festive pyjamas and iconic Percy Pig merch were total best-sellers. They're affordable, super cute, and basically guarantee you 'best gift-giver' status. (Your mum will love them, we promise).


Nostalgia Sells


Percy Pig isn't just a sweet treat, he's a lifestyle. The plush toys and decorations were a huge hit, proving that a little bit of childhood nostalgia is the perfect escape from essay stress. You need this little guy on your desk during exam season, trust us.


Winter Survival Mode: Activated


Heating bills? In this economy? You lot got smart and stocked up on thermal wear, thick tights, and scarves to stay warm without cranking the radiator. It's all about that practical, layered look that says 'I'm stylish' but also 'I can't afford hypothermia'.


The Ultimate Uni Upgrade


Who says student accommodation has to be basic? The Hampton Stripe Cup & Saucer was a surprise best-seller, showing that you're all about elevating your morning coffee ritual. Because your instant coffee deserves to be served in style.

Why Marks and Spencer has your back this Black Friday


Let's talk savings.


We all know Black Friday is the golden hour for snagging a deal, and pairing it with an M&S student discount? That's next-level smart shopping.


M&S is the spot for fashion staples that actually last longer than a term – we're talking jumpers that won't bobble after one wash and pyjamas that survive countless washes.


It's not just about clothes, either. Think practical. Those thermal socks? A lifesaver. That cute mug? A daily mood booster.


M&S gets that student life is a mix of needing things to be useful, affordable, and a little bit lovely. It's about quality that doesn't quit, so your Black Friday haul will see you through the whole winter and beyond.


So, grab your mates and get ready. With M&S deals and your M&S student discount, you can kit out your wardrobe and sort your Christmas list in one go. Now that's what we call a win.
