Using Klarna is a great way of spreading the cost of Christmas, with the option to pay for your purchases in three instalments. And the free-to-download Klarna app just got even handier, with its clever new search and compare tool. By allowing you to compare prices across thousands of retailers, it’s a great way of making sure you don’t miss out on a bargain when it comes to the things you need to buy. A useful filter also means you’ll only be shown items that totally fit the bill, based on your preferences, meaning the app does all the hard work for you.
• Give your last-minute gifts a touch of class by pairing cheap brown parcel paper with brightly coloured curling ribbon or string.
• Add festive touches to your presents by tying on a pine cone, a sprig of holly or a little evergreen branch.
• Pop a cheap unwrapped present, like a party hat or chocolate Santa, into the top of a stocking to build the magic.
• Make free gift tags by pressing colourful fallen leaves between pieces of tissue to dry them out, then writing your message on them using a metallic pen.
• Wind a small set of battery-powered Christmas lights around a pile of table gifts to make them look extra festive.
• For little ones, attach a small toy like a car, crayons or LEGO character to the wrapping paper to add to the excitement. Use toys they already own but have forgotten about for extra savings!
