If you’re at home with the family this year for Halloween, you might enjoy this “fuss-free” partnership between Deliveroo and Marks & Spencer. From October 25 until October 31 customers can order limited-edition trick or treat bags, filled with exclusive signature treats, from Marks & Spencer like Creepy Peppers, Oozing Skulls, Ghoulicious Graveyard Treats and Bubbly Boo! Amongst others. The Halloween treats arrive in a bold orange reusable bag, great for keeping for Halloween’s to come. The limited-edition bags full of sweets come in two different sizes. So, depending on how much of a sweet tooth you have opt for the smaller bag for Dhs60 or the larger bag for Dhs100.
