    The latest Tesco magazine has a free little pad on the front - there are six vouchers for £1 off particular products, and several pages of pre-printed shopping lists.

    I just wanted to bump this to see if anyone else had any ideas.
    I also wanted to say thank you for the suggestions because they have helped me with some ideas :)

    Also what about adding in a lottery ticket or a scratch card? I know its not "MSE" but you could make them a millionaire :)

    This year I will have something that resembles a garden and not a building site!
