Christmas

I bought several reduced items in the sales. Some will last to next Christmas but many will cover birthdays throughout the year. I have 4 good female friends I exchange presents with so they will be very happy with the Dove gift sets which are not christmassy boxed. I also got a tea tray, mugs and special tea bags set for a DIL who loves her tea...I checked the sell by date! On one trip to Sainsbury's I got a £66 haul for just £8 as I had £17.50 of nectar rewards to use.

Started before this Christmas... And yes I've got a few other little bits since too. Good to be prepared!

I end up getting things for birthdays instead as my Dads birthday falls on 27th Dec, and my moms is tomorrow on 5th Jan. I managed to get a L‘Occitane gift set earlier for her which had £35 worth of products and I got for £6! And loads more bargains at Marks and Spencer’s! I was chuffed x

I have so far only bought two things and they will be for birthdays rather than Christmas. I would like to have bought more but nothing I wanted has been in the sales and I don't like paying full price! I do buy throughout the year though to spread the cost.
