If you believe that one person’s dreadful present choice is another person’s gem, then a really cheeky way you can save some money over Christmas is to re-gift any unused and unloved presents you might have received over the course of the year.
Add a few personal touches to the unwanted gift’s presentation and it will not really matter what the gift is, as the person you are giving the gift to will think that you have really gone out of your way to get something for them. Why not grab some Chalkboard Wrapping Paper (£3.95 - Not On The Highstreet) and either write or draw some great memories or inspirational words that really means something to you and the present receiver?
Word of caution, it is advisable that you try not to give the present back to the same person who gave it to you in the first place, re-gifting is a delicate etiquette and you do not want to go through the trouble of elegantly re-wrapping a gift, just to be left red-faced on Christmas Day.
If you consider yourself a super, savvy shopper who happens to know all the re-gifting and re-packing tricks of the trade BUT happen to be getting presents for someone who only accepts luxury or designer goods – not that there is anything wrong with that, you are entitled to like what you like – a great way to save a few pounds on luxury items is to pop over to Covetique.
Covetique are designer resale store and you get some amazing items from Chanel, Mulberry, Diane Von Furstenberg etc. for a fraction of the price and if you are subscribed to a cashback website like TopCashback, then you can get money back on anything you spend, saving you even more money in the long run.
