10 M&S Christmas treats under £10 that feel far more expensive

by Ricky Willis · updated 27 November 2025

Christmas gets expensive fast, especially when you start adding treats, stocking fillers and last-minute gifts to the trolley.

Christmas stocking filled with small festive treats like chocolate and sweets, shown as a simple budget-friendly stocking filler idea.

But M&S has pulled together a bunch of festive picks under £10 that look far more “premium” than their price.

If you want something small that still feels special, these are the ones worth a look.

Big Bubbly Santa – £1.75

Buy at M&S

This is the classic “grab one for the kids” chocolate. Light, airy and surprisingly big for the price. It’s the sort of thing that disappears the second you put the shopping away.

Pistachio Gnomes – £5

Buy at M&S | Buy at Ocado

These used to be simple chocolate gnomes, but they’ve had a glow-up. The pistachio crème coating makes them look far more premium. Great for stockings or small gifts that feel a touch special.



Happy Christmas Mini Selection – £4

Buy at M&S | Buy at Ocado

A neat little box of six festive chocolates in different flavours. It’s the perfect “quick gift” for teachers, neighbours or Secret Santa.

Thick, chewy and packed with that proper Christmas-toffee flavour. A fun shape and an easy win for anyone who loves traditional sweets.

Push Along Vintage Car – £5

Buy at M&S | Buy at Ocado

A playful chocolate car loaded with fruit-flavoured jellies. Kids will love the novelty almost as much as the chocolate itself.

Salted Caramel and Chocolate Chunk Cookies Santa Hat Tin – £7

Shortbread Light-Up House – £7

Buy at M&S | Buy at Ocado

A charming little light-up house tin filled with buttery shortbread. Once the biscuits are gone, the tin becomes a cute decoration you can bring out every December.



The Marksologist Cocktail Pack – £10

Buy at M&S | Buy at Ocado

The iconic M&S tinnies are back, ready to gift to your tinnie obsessed friend this Christmas.


Christmas can drain your budget quickly, especially once treats, gifts and unexpected extras start landing in the trolley.

But you don’t need pricey hampers or huge chocolate boxes to make things feel special. These under-£10 picks bring plenty of festive joy without the scary price tag.

Whether you’re filling stockings, sorting Secret Santa, or just building up a stash of December snacks, choosing a few of these smaller M&S treats can make the season feel fun without overspending.
