WHILE the rising temperatures confirm that summer is well and truly still here, time flies and before you know it, Christmas will have arrived.
But with the cost-of-living crisis effecting households across the country, chances are you haven't got spare cash floating around to splurge on luxurious gifts.
Well, thanks to one savvy money-saving guru named Mandy, you don't have to.
Instead, she's taken to TikTok to share three money-saving Christmas gifts to buy now and save for later.
And perhaps the best part? They're all under £10 from Wilkos.
In the clip, Mandy begins: "So I've just been to my local Wilkinsons and there's so many bargains to be had at the moment."
Holding up a glass stack jar which was reduced to £8, she continues: "These are reduced to £4, fill them with sweets and that's going to cost around £3 – and then you've got an amazing Christmas gift for about £7."
