Just when the expensive summer holidays have been safely waved away – the thoughts of that lovely sunny villa holiday on the Algarve rapdily fading as the normality of domestic life hits us as we land, instead of crying in our beer, coffee, lemon green tea . . .  now is just the right time to start thinking seriously about the Christmas present buying list.

Instead of there being a mad rush and panic in December, many a headless chicken running up and down the shopping mall, thisyear could be the one where you are super organised, everything bought, wrapped and stashed away in the bedroom linen cabinet.  Calm serenity can be  yours for the taking if you get used to browsing the gift sites that are so jolly useful.
