We've all had that fear that a present won't get to someone on time, especially if it's for someone living far away. With that in mind, here are few dates to look out for, including when the sales start so you can get your hands on a few bargains!
And don't forget that if you are going away or having lots of people round, check your electrics, gas and home security so you can really enjoy the festive season!
