The best gift you can give your family and friends this Christmas is honesty, according to one of the country’s top money saving experts. Jane Hawkes, known as Lady Janey, believes that we need to “open up our conversations” about our financial situations, and whether we can afford to send each other presents this year.
The consumer champion shares her top tips for thinking outside of the box when it comes to Christmas gifts on ‘Christmas on a Budget’, a new podcast from the Manchester Evening News.
Speaking to host Karyn Fleeting, aka Miss Thrifty, Jane explains that it’s “not too late to have those conversations and be honest about your situation Does it really matter? You know, really, when you look at the bigger scheme of things, you know, does it really matter,” she tells the podcast.
