Bought 60metres of very nice disney paper in Wilkos for £3. Very chuffed about that, that should last me three years ...

To prevent too many threads on the same subject I have merged some threads together so we can all find the information we need a bit easier

Had a little look in Tesco today at the reduced section and nothing amazing really - but I got some Jack Daniels fudge for £2.50 reduced that will do towards my brothers birthday and some Baileys truffles for less than £1 that will do for part of Grandmas birthday. Wrapping paper half price so got a set

Picked up a few bits on the Boots online sale too - a couple of generic bath gift sets that I can give to anyone - was hoping to do a bit more but all the MSErs got there first I think :rotfl:

I have collected Goldfish points and this year I redeemed them for M&S vouchers.

I used to go in and see nothing I wanted at a price I wanted to pay but recently they have improved so I might find something for me, however, my mum often shops there so I gave her vouchers for Birthday and Christmas worth more than I normally give her so she was really pleased too.

Can i just ask what is/are goldfish points its 1 i've never heard of thanks

It's a credit card where you earn points when ever you spend with certain partners I think You can then exchange the points for vouchers etc

Have a look here

Before deciding on joining any such card for the benefits remember to read Martins article on the Best Card for Your Needs

I've started! Got cards from Aldi @19p for 20, and some wrapping paper 1/2 price from B7Q (along with some fancy lights to put in the window!). I have over 1000 points on pigsback so I can a boots voucher to put away and hubby is well on the way to getting another!

EDIT: Oh, I forgot - I got all my nice, personal christmas cards for family for £2.40 at card warehouse!

I have made a start too, I got all my family cards (7) fo £2.58 and theyre good quality too, as well as normal cards.

Most of our family birthdays are Jan - March, so the gifts I have bought are mainly for them, I got £52.00 worth of boots goodies for £23.00 ( online) and 2 gifts from bodyshop half price sale.
Oh and also ribbons and bows, half price.

So, I got my craftbox out and stated making some xmas cards and some gift tags...will be starting to alocate a box for pressies...So hope you guys are also having a fab time getting things ready for xmas 2007.:p
