Buy in bulk<br />
If you can club together with other families, you might<br />
be able to make savings on stocking fillers and activities<br />
by bulk buying. Baker and Ross (www.bakerross.co.uk)<br />
for example, sell a wide range of craft kits, activities and<br />
small toys. They mainly sell to schools, so if you bulk buy it<br />
works out a lot cheaper. My son adored the Gingerbread<br />
House Kit last year (two for £6.95 or 10 for £22.50).<br />
The Rainbow Wooden Keyring Craft Kits (four for £6.95<br />
or sixteen for £18.40), Racing Reindeers (four for £5.95 or<br />
sixteen for £14.88) and Woodland Friends Stationery Sets<br />
(four for £6.95 or sixteen for £18.40) would all make great<br />
stocking fillers. There’s also usually an offer on whereby<br />
you can save more money if you spend over a certain<br />
amount.<br />
Jewels May is a wonderful independent jewellers.<br />
The shop has recently expanded so as to offer<br />
customers more on site specialist services, one-toone<br />
consultation, specialist design and re-modelling<br />

Look for cost-saving memberships (£1)<br />

money off days out to safari parks, theme<br />

on, plus discounts<br />
