Extreme Xmas bargain hunters wanted for Guardian article

Hello MSE forum users
I'm a freelance journalist and I'd like to ask your help with an article I'm writing for The Guardian on Christmas shopping.

Apologies for 'touting for business' but I'm trying to get word out to as many people as possible - and I've checked and been given permission by MSE editors to post this.

I'm looking to interview people for an article on extreme Xmas shoppers so people who never buy anything before December 25 or Boxing Day, and then buy everything in the sales etc.

If you are one of these people, or know someone who is, and you wouldn't mind appearing in the paper, please get in touch. Ideally it would be great if you also wouldn't mind being photographed, but if you'd prefer not or want your name changed I could potentially do that.

The best way to get in touch with me is to email me donna.freelancer+media@gmail.com or you can tweet me: donnalferguson


Thanks again
Donna

    Bumping this up. It is a request that has been okayed by MSE on the Christmas board.

    I didn't see this in the other section but it might be an idea to put this in the christmas and yuletide section and the sassy buys section.

    They quite often talk about xmas bargains and things (that I have read anyways). A couple of them have spoken about buying in january sales for the following year.
