Buy Christmas gifts from home-grown producers

Hands up — who has a cardboard box under the stairs full of unwanted Christmas gifts going back several years?

You’ve thought about re-gifting haven’t you, but forgetting to keep note of who gave you what, you’re now terrified of presenting them back to the friends who gave them to you in the first place.

So under the stairs they’ll stay unless a pang of seasonal philanthropy sees you dispatching them to a charity shop.
