    M&S have a sale coming up. I was in M&S clearance the other day and they had loads of jamas/ nighties / slippers at half price ( eg about a fiver) They also had loads of variant cook books/ socks sets.

    I saw in Sports Direct that they had a few ?Kangol set starting at a fiver socks & wallet/ 2 tops/ Hat & Scarf sets.

    Sign up for CD wow and play, youll get £2 off every now and then and they have good DVDs & Cds for a fiver or less and free postage. M&M sports often have some great stuff as well .

    Really you can get bargains all year round, best to think about whatyour relatives would like then set out to find the bargains.

    For kiddie presents the poundshops are great for colouring books and pens and jigsaws.

    How about making up your own gift sets such as a mug with some tea/coffee/hot chocolate and biscuits. Wrapped nicely (cellophane is fantastic stuff!) it will look a much more expensive present than it cost you. Home Bargains is a great place to look for mugs. Could do the same with toiletries, buy individual items and make up little sets in baskets.

    Have you written a list of everyone you need to buy for, take this with you whenever you go out, you never know when you may stumble across a bargain!
