I buy loads in the January sales. I've got all my cards and paper and loads of nice gift bags.
I've also got most of my presents. We have a five pound limit on everyone who is over the age of 21, so I always get those presents in the sale so that it looks more. I've got my sister the most lovely pair of soft leather gloves from Accessorize. Full price £20, I got them for £5.
