The cheapest way of sending gifts to loved ones
So with a few days to go, how do you get those gifts out without spending a fortune?
Costs have already no doubt been building up – from buying gifts to sending them far and wide to loved ones living away. More and more of us have friends and family who live in a different part of the country or overseas. And, if you’re anything like me with little ones to think about, you simply might not have the chance to get out of the house to get your Christmas gifts delivered on time.
Although we have less than a week before Christmas Day, there are still delivery options available. Better still – some of them will even come to you. Using a courier service is one of the fastest and cheapest ways of having …

Beautiful and bargain Valentine’s gift ideas for under £15
For this year, I have put together some Valentine’s gift ideas and tried to stayed under £15. As per my Home Bargains Valentine’s post, why not put these or other items together and make a gift basket? If you are on a big budget, look out for yellow stickers in the plant sections of supermarkets like Co-op as they are selling off potted plants, and there is always M&S for Dine in for Two for a romantic meal, or Poundland for bits and pieces. There is so much to choose from that I put together a list of my favourite ideas here with images underneath.

Head to Home Bargains for Valentine’s ideas
So if you are on a limited budget or just have a loved one who would really appreciate lots of little cute gifts, then Home Bargains is the place to head.
Why not start the morning with a beautifully decorated house or flat? The discount store has love heart lights (£1.99), felt heart bunting (99p), heart balloons on sticks (79p) and a pack of heart balloons for 59p.
If that’s not enough, why not sprinkle some artificial rose petals (79p) around to make your loved one’s heart go a flutter?
So you have decorated the gaff and still haven’t spent much (around a fiver), so the day can be made special with a romantic breakfast. An egg cooked in the shape of a heart in a 99p frying pan to start seems a good idea.…

Is it possible to find a gorgeous engagment ring on a budget?
Finding the perfect engagement ring is no easy task. You’ve got to ask: Is the ring too big or too small? What stone should be on it? Would your partner like it? Then, to top it all off, engagement rings are expensive – especially when we’ve got the likes of Kim Kardashian’s $8 million bling to contend with.
On average, the UK spends £573 on engagement rings but there is also the pressure of the traditional ‘two month salary’ rule that many people associate with the price of engagement rings. So, finding the perfect ring can be a stressful experience.
For many, the ‘two month salary’ rule is out of the question but, fear not, the perfect engagement ring can be found in your budget range. The below tips will help to make your partner, …
