  • I used a Certificate to give my son 10 driving lessons for his 18th birthday, and for my friends 40th last March, I framed a certificate telling her that we were going to see Donny Osmond in concert in the October. She was ecstatic, and we both enjoyed the show!!CERTIFICATES - BRILLIANT IDEA!! Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year to all readers.. :xmassign:
  • Does anyone know a site from where I can buy wine vouchers and send them off instead of actually sending wine bottles through the post?

    why not get store vouchers like tescos etc, or i know our local wine merchants do them but you have to go into the shop to purchase them.
    Those we love don't go away,They walk beside us every day,Unseen, unheard, but always near,
    Still loved, still missed and very dear
    Our thoughts are ever with you,Though you have passed away.And those who loved you dearly,
    Are thinking of you today.

    Sorry all, but I think you are being a bit sycophantic!
    I moneysave all year, but there is no way on Gods Earth I would present someone I love and cherish with a bit of paper under the tree to save a few quid. Nothing (and no amount of money) can compare to the joy of wrapping the perfect present for a loved one and waiting for the look on their faces when they open it on Christmas morning.

  • In argos the archos 700 personal video player was £299 in the run up to christmas with a free second battery to send away for and is £399 now. Net saving -100 quid and no free battery so it doesn`t always pay to wait!

    Happy Christmas to you all.

    I think the present receiver should have some assurance of their Christmas gift. Surely a printed voucher isn't worth very much, I think it should be backed with a standing order guarantee or something. Nevertheless the presents bit of Christmas is too commercial for my liking.

  • Hiya

    I guess that we're all in the same boat, its coming up to Christmas, and that we all want to save a few quid here and there!

    My mate you started this site up for christmas 2006 which lists all the latest online Christmas Vouchers as they become available.

    Hope someone finds it useful! The latest Christmas Vouchers or Discounts for Christmas 2006 can be found at www.christmas-vouchers.co.uk.

    There's only a few on at the mo, but I reckon it will keep growing the closer we get to Christmas.

    Take care.
