Buying gifts for friends and family at Christmas can be a time-consuming and difficult process. Finding something to suit different tastes is far from easy and many end up choosing tried-and-tested products to avoid disappointing the recipients. Perfume, clothes, films and gift vouchers are all popular Christmas presents but this year can shoppers think outside the box and get something special for their loved ones. ClaireDC, writing for the Style Bistro, has listed a number of ideas that could inspire shoppers, one of which is a Christmas hamper. The writer stated: "Hampers are a lovely idea." Those concerned about how much they will spend on presents this year can take simple steps to ensure they have enough money and are not left out of pocket. Kevin Mountford, head of banking at Moneysupermarket.com, suggested consumers put a little aside each week to cover the cost of gifts, allowing people to spend more on Christmas hampers without getting into debt.
