Last week I went to check my balance of points from filling in online surveys from Pinecone Research throughout the year and was delighted to discover not only that they had added lots more types of shopping vouchers to their rewards catalogue but also that I had enough to order £50 of Sainsbury's vouchers and £20 of Love To Shop vouchers. Add to that the £20 Love To Shop vouchers that I won in a competition last week and I'm ready to hit the sales ! Love To Shop vouchers can be used in loads of places, including lots of high street stores such as Argos, Boots, Debenhams, Toys 'R' Us, House of Fraser, River Island, New Look, Waterstones, WH Smith ... Aha, that was the one that sold it to me because I always love going there to stock up on half price annuals, special offer cookery books and funky stationery just after Christmas. With great timing, they sent me through a press release showcasing their top ten Christmas gift ideas this week, which has convinced me that I need to head instore now to take advantage of their inspirational ideas for those hard-to-buy-for people. If you're still puzzling over what to buy, they could have the answers !
