Just wanted to say thanks to the MSE email newsletter actually! Back in September a newsletter (http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/tips/14-09-2011/) said "Our Freebies, Freebies, Freebies guide lists 100s of giveaways, from make-up to tea, plus a freebie roulette machine. Save them up for an Xmas freebie tombola (MSE Lee does this for his family every year)."

This year I'll be spending Christmas with my OH's parents in Cornwall, but went to celebrate "fake/early/mini" Christmas with my family yesterday... so I adopted this freebie tombola approach so that there were presents to open - what with real presents not being opened until last week.

There were silly ones, rubbish ones, pointless ones and a couple with people might actually like... but it got everyone laughing, so I'm glad for this idea from MSE! Thanks :p
