Crikey doesn’t time fly? I can’t believe Christmas is upon us once again. For many of us the festive season is a hectic
one, dashing around the high street buying gifts, tidying the house before guests arrive, doing the big Christmas food shop – what should be a fun time of year can often be stressful. However, in this issue we’ve got lots of great ideas and features to help make your yuletide go more smoothly and be as stress-free as possible. We’ve done the legwork for you and trawled the high street and internet for the best gift ideas for all the family and, even better, they are all under £40 (p.40). And don’t forget a subscription to Your Home makes a great present for friends and family who love interiors, gardening and cooking. Find out what this issue’s free subscriber gift is on p.86. We’ve also been going wild in the
supermarket aisles this month in search of the most exciting, delicious and best value Christmas food and wine to help you spend less time in the kitchen so you can enjoy more time with the family (p.105). With New Year celebrations just around the corner we’ve also got some delicious recipe
suggestions for party food and drinks (p.100). Those of you who are counting the pennies this month should check out our great feature on page 16 where you’ll find lots of top tips for saving money when eating out. While in our ‘Make It Easy’ section (p.59) you’ll find some inspiring ideas for inexpensive homemade cards, decorations and gifts. Finally, I’d like to take the chance, on behalf of all the Your Home team, to
wish you all a really happy Christmas and a healthy and prosperous New Year.
