Christmas shopping: money-saving tips for 2024
Although Christmas is still weeks away, the festive spirit has already started creeping in (and let’s be honest—so has the stress!). But don’t worry; being prepared is half the battle, and we’re here to help. With retailers rolling out their holiday deals earlier each year, there’s never been a better time to get ahead of the game. Here’s how to shop smart and make this your savviest Christmas yet.
Partnering with top brands for festive savings
We’ve teamed up with some of the biggest names to bring you the best deals this Christmas, whether you're planning a show-stopping feast, hunting for personalised gifts or stuffing stockings with something special. Here's where you can save:
- Groceries: Hosting Christmas dinner? We've got discounts for Tesco, Aldi and Morrisons to help make your festive feast unforgettable (and affordable).
- Personalised presents: Nothing says “thoughtful” like a custom gift. Head to Moonpig to find everything from photo calendars to bespoke cards that’ll make their Christmas morning extra special.

Extra tips to stretch your Christmas shopping
Why stop at discounts? Maximise your savings and make every pound count with these smart shopping hacks:
- Start shopping early: The earlier you start, the more likely you are to snag the best deals. Plus, spreading the cost across a few paydays can make the holidays a lot easier on your wallet. Pro tip: Watch for Black Friday and Cyber Monday steals to lock in major savings.
- Shop and save with bundles: Buying in bulk or grabbing those "buy one, get one free" offers can stretch your budget further. Whether it’s bubbly for Christmas day or gift sets for your Secret Santa, bundles are your best friend.
- Join rewards programmes: It’s the season of giving—and that includes retailers! Signing up for rewards schemes can unlock exclusive perks like free delivery, early sale access and even surprise gifts. Don’t miss out on these festive extras.
- Skip delivery fees: Why pay for shipping when you don’t have to? Opt for free click-and-collect services or sign up for unlimited delivery subscriptions like Tesco’s Delivery Saver or ASOS Premier. It’s a one-off cost that can save you a bundle throughout the year.
- Create a Christmas budget: Christmas is magical—but it doesn’t have to be financially mysterious. Set a budget for gifts, food and activities, and track your spending with budgeting apps like Monzo or Emma. You’ll thank yourself in January!
- Make it a green Christmas: From reusable gift wrap to eco-friendly decorations, small swaps can help reduce waste without losing any sparkle. Handmade gifts and decorations are budget-friendly and meaningful. Bake festive biscuits, make DIY ornaments or create personalised photo albums that loved ones will cherish forever.
