Bargain shop launches gorgeous light up glitter gins – it’s not Aldi and is cheaper than M&S
SHOPPERS are racing to get their hands on new gorgeous light up glitter gins from a budget retailer they couldn’t believe.
The latest B&M Christmas essential is available in stores nationwide for only £14.
B&M are bringing customers the perfect tipple for their seasonal celebrations with the dazzling drink.
It comes in a bottle which transforms the gin liqueur into a piece of festive decor.
The light-up effect brings a warm, glowing atmosphere to any Christmas celebration – and would make the perfect gift.
The gold flakes add a luxurious touch and the whimsical gonk turns this tipple into a festive centrepiece.
The two flavours available are Clementine and Winter Berries, with both measuring 50cl and a 15 per cent ABV.
Purchasers have been tagging their friends on social media to look at the gin liqueur.
One fan said on Facebook: “These are pretty!”
Another commented: “They look so pretty might have to try these.”
And: “Need!”
Manufacturers recommend that people try to make a Clementine Christmas Punch and Winter Berries Spritz with their bottles:
Clementine Christmas Punch:
- Mix 100ml of B&M’s Light-up Gonk Gin Liqueur – Clementine with fruit juice
- Add ice and stir well
- Top with Prosecco and garnish with orange slices for a crowd-pleasing festive punch
Winter Berries Spritz
- Fill a glass with ice and pour 50ml of B&M’s Light-up Gonk Gin Liqueur – Winter Berries
- Add a splash of soda water and top with Prosecco
- Garnish with berries for a refreshing and vibrant drink
The B&M’s Light-up Gonk Gin also keeps your budget merry, with pricier competitor M&S releasing their snow globe gin liqueur equivalent for £20 for 70cl.
This is £6 more expensive than the B&M alternative, but contains 20cl more.
In past years at M&S, a 70cl bottle cost £16, but now the price has gone up to £20 – and the bottle also comes in a new gifting box.
The M&S Christmas drink has been off the shelves since 2022.
Now shoppers will be delighted to be able to buy the supermarket’s original snow globe gin liqueur again.
The bottles of M&S gin liqueur have been a festive staple for the major supermarket for years.
How to save money on Christmas shopping
Consumer reporter Sam Walker reveals how you can save money on your Christmas shopping.
Limit the amount of presents – buying presents for all your family and friends can cost a bomb.
Instead, why not organise a Secret Santa between your inner circles so you’re not having to buy multiple presents.
Plan ahead – if you’ve got the stamina and budget, it’s worth buying your Christmas presents for the following year in the January sales.
Make sure you shop around for the best deals by using price comparison sites so you’re not forking out more than you should though.
Buy in Boxing Day sales – some retailers start their main Christmas sales early so you can actually snap up a bargain before December 25.
Delivery may cost you a bit more, but it can be worth it if the savings are decent.
Shop via outlet stores – you can save loads of money shopping via outlet stores like Amazon Warehouse or Office Offcuts.
They work by selling returned or slightly damaged products at a discounted rate, but usually any wear and tear is minor.
And due to the drink’s popularity, back in 2020 customers were given a limit and told they could only buy two at a time.
M&S didn’t sell the liqueur last year, but it is now bringing the iconic drink back.
Previously, the gin came in two flavours – Clementine and Spiced Sugar Plum – but this year, only the Clementine one will be sold.
The sugar plum bottles lit up with a cool white glow, illuminating a festive figure skater on the design of the glass.
