With Christmas fast approaching and only two paydays left for most of us, many present hunters are looking at ways to spread their cash further. The MoneySaving website founded by financial whiz Martin Lewis has offered some advice.
In the past, the website has recommended high street retailer Marks and Spencer as a go-to place for one particular item, the M&S £40 beauty advent calendar for anyone who is considering buying beauty products for their loved ones. However, it is not to give as a present in its entirety but to split.
According to the experts, it's a way of saving hundreds on Christmas presents. Martin advises buying one of the calendars, which contain full size beauty products that work out at a fraction of their usual price, and splitting up the contents into separate Christmas gifts. The beauty advent calendar is back in stock for 2022, and this year it contains contents worth £300 - but still costs only £40 when you spend £30 on the M&S website.
