Christmas is an expensive time of the year for all of us (although there do seem to be so many bargains about!) and I thought it might be nice for us to share any saving tips? Mine is to buy wrapping paper that isn't overtly seasonal - this year I've bought a few rolls of dotted red foil and the same in gold. That way if there's leftover I can use it for birthdays during the year too.
