Christmas is just around the corner and many a parent’s focus will be on finding the perfect gifts for their little ones, and how not to break the bank at the same time. Christmas is getting more expensive as the years pass, so saving money where you can, can be a real lifesaver for you bank balance. Here are some offers from moneysupermarket.com to help ease the strain on your purse strings which will be particularly useful in the run up to Christmas…
Waterstones vouchers
At the moment moneysupermarket.com have a range of Waterstones vouchers to shave a few pounds off the books you’ll be buying for the festive period. Books are great gifts, and with such a wide variety to choose from you’ll be sure to find something that the kids can dig their teeth into. Also a great idea for your partner, family and friends- most people love getting lost inside a good book!

When you spend more than £45 you can get £5 off with this voucher- not a huge amount but it soon adds up!
IWantOneOfThose vouchers
Need inspiration for stocking fillers, or gift ideas in general? Take a look at IWOOT (IWantOneOfThose.com), who have an amazing array of gift ideas for him, her and the kids. IWOOT is fantastic for buying gifts that are unusual, so the likelihood is the person you’re buying for won’t have seen the item before. Best of all, IWOOT have supplied moneysupermarket with a range of money off voucher codes which will come in really handy when choosing some great Christmas presents.
Theatre vouchers
Looking to treat the kids this Christmas? How about taking them to see a show? We currently have several 2 for 1 deals on tickets to famous musicals and West End hits, such as Dirty Dancing, Annie and Blood Brothers. This will be a fantastic night out, and with the 2 for 1 offer, it won’t cost you an arm and a leg.
All good and dandy when the kids are still infants and whatever you give them is ok. But when they are 9 or 10 years old and they know what they want AND it costs a bomb, then it’s trouble! I don’t have kids of my own but I do have nephews and nieces and they all know exactly what they want. Don’t you dare buying some simple toy to get over the present exchange of Christmas. I just leave my salary in Hamley’s without passing go.
Remind me again why we celebrate Christmas?
So, yes a list of offers is good very good. Useful…that’s a different matter altogether.
It does not mean I hold a grudge towards people merrily helping with gifts lists, it means I have to pawn my jewellery to get the latest gadgets kids who are not even teenagers ask for.
Children… the ruling class!
Thanks for the information on Build a Bear- my little one is continually asking to go there
Thanks for this article. I didnt’ know about about the 2 for 1 theatre tickets. Can’t wait to take my daughter to the theatre during the Christmas break!
I often get theatre vouchers for my mum and dad and they really like them
