I love our charity shops and often see things that I can stash away for presents. Things you can never find when you are looking!

Thank you gifts are always a jar of marmelade with a pretty cloth cover for the lid and nice label tied on with string. If I get sour oranges, a squeezed lemon and sometimes orange peel I freeze them ready for my next batch. It’s good stuff because I often get asked for another jar. Really, the only cost is the sugar!

Buying special occasion outfits and gifts way in advance when the sales are on can save a small fortune. Leaving things to the last minute leaves you frantic and making rash decisions, which are often the most expensive.

It helps that I am not going crazy in December. If see things that need to be picked up I add them to my gift closet.
