THE FESTIVE season has well and truly arrived which for many people means one thing – the frustration of trying to find the perfect Secret Santa pressie.
Of course, there are the ”safe” choices, such as snapping up a last-minute candle, a bottle of mulled wine and a pair of cosy socks to keep the feet toasty as the temperatures are beginning to drop.
From tote bags to beauty bits, there are plenty of affordable picks that will set you back a fiver – or less[/caption] The beauty lover was raving over the brand and said the products were ‘amazing’[/caption]However, if you want to surprise your colleague or a pal with something less basic whilst also not forking out a fortune, fear not – as we’ve got you covered.

Whether you’re after some cute make-up bits or homeware essentials, the money-smart TikTok user has found it all.
One of the bargain buys the brunette beauty stumbled across whilst browsing around Marks & Spencer was an adorable tote bag with a cute teddy bear print.
The find, retailing for just a fiver, is sure to come in handy for anyone – whether you’re running errands, going to the gym or need a small bag for travelling.
The major supermarket has also added ”cute coasters” to its ever-growing collection – the living and kitchen room must-have features initials and sells for £5.
If you’re on the lookout for a pressie for a foodie, M&S also sells scrumptious cookies in a gorgeous red letterbox that can then be reused as a home decor for £5.
Meanwhile, rival B&M is the place to be if you’re looking for a glass mug that’s perfect for all the coffee and tea lovers – the retailer offers a selection of mugs with initials that are going for a mere £3.
Not your cup of tea? Pop into their beauty aisle, where you can find So…? Unique shower gel and lotion set of four mini products for £4.99.
Another high street favourite that has fabulous gifts for Secret Santa is Boots, where the shopper found an eyeshadow stick trio by the brand 17 for £5, as well as lip duo by the same brand which comes with a lippy and a lip gloss, also a fiver.
”Obsessed with this for a glossy red lip look,” said the thrifty woman who also vouched for the affordable brand and said their products are ”amazing”.
The budget-friendly brand has also launched ”lots of cute eyeshadow palettes” for less than £5 – not only are the colours stunning but the mini make-up essentials are easy to throw in your purse when you head out.
If you need to find something for beauty lovers, another store worth popping into is Home Bargains.
According to the woman, the popular retailer has a huge selection of head band and wrist band sets for affordable prices under £5.
How to save money on Christmas shopping
Consumer reporter Sam Walker reveals how you can save money on your Christmas shopping.
Limit the amount of presents – buying presents for all your family and friends can cost a bomb.
Instead, why not organise a Secret Santa between your inner circles so you’re not having to buy multiple presents.
Plan ahead – if you’ve got the stamina and budget, it’s worth buying your Christmas presents for the following year in the January sales.
Make sure you shop around for the best deals by using price comparison sites so you’re not forking out more than you should though.
Buy in Boxing Day sales – some retailers start their main Christmas sales early so you can actually snap up a bargain before December 25.
Delivery may cost you a bit more, but it can be worth it if the savings are decent.
Shop via outlet stores – you can save loads of money shopping via outlet stores like Amazon Warehouse or Office Offcuts.
They work by selling returned or slightly damaged products at a discounted rate, but usually any wear and tear is minor.
Meanwhile, if you’re on a mission to surprise a fashionista TK Maxx is your best bet – the cash-savvy shopper claimed the discount retailer ”has so many cute earrings for £5”.
One pair that she stumbled across was an adorable duo of golden bows – which are sure to elevate any party season outfit on the cheap.
The same retailer, which has over 300 stores across the UK, also offers cute hairclips for £4.99 – and these always come in handy when doing you’re make-up or skincare routine.
”Shocked at how many cute bits I found under a fiver,” the thrifty high street shopper wrote in the caption.
Massive 480ft superyacht worth £30million can purposely SINK itself – but it does so for a very good reason
THIS gargantuan superyacht worth an eye-watering £30 million sinks at the push of a button – but for an unbelievable reason.
Unbelievable images show the industrial-ship-turned-megayacht submerge itself to hold various vehicles from land or sea on its aft.
The 480ft superyacht OK was initially built in 1982 as a yacht transportation ship[/caption] Guests can drive, fly or sail onto the unbelievable vessel[/caption] The middle of the ship completely submerses to allow on yachts[/caption]The vessel – bizarrely named OK – is built to host a whopping 20 guests who can drive, fly, or sail onboard due to the vessel’s ability to partially sink.
OK began its life back in Japan in 1982 as a yacht transportation ship – which, with its makeover, is still capable of doing.
In 2019 the works began to transform the industrial vessel into a £30 million work of art – and finished in 2022.
The 480ft semi-submersible is designed with open deck space that has endless storage for any vehicles its wealthy owner would want to put on it.
This could include up to a whopping 151ft sailing yacht and even a sea plane.
Maritime vessels are able to sail right onto the board with no problem thanks to the yacht’s unbelievable ability to submerge its aft platform which sits in the middle.
It works by the ship taking on water ballast to allow the load to be floated over the deck.
Once it’s in position, the water ballast is dumped from the vessel and the deck and cargo return to sitting above the water line – as if nothing happened.
If guests were to have smaller toys and tenders, it’s no problem, as that’s what the 40-tonne crane is for as it launches and recovers the vessels.
A luxurious car ramp allows road vehicles onto the deck – making the ship completely adaptable from land to sea.
OK also sports an ultra-luxurious indoor swimming pool that’s surrounded with glass windows, allowing visitors to get perhaps a fake sea swim experience.
An outdoor cinema is also set up along with a botanical garden and a whopping four aquariums.
The superyacht can host 20 guests at a time[/caption] It could even hold a whopping 46 metre sailing yacht[/caption]And in a bizarre addition, once the aft deck is cleared, the space can be used as an open-air tennis court.
Accommodation for guests and crew sits in the forward area of the luxury ship’s structure and can sleep 20 guest onboard.
The unusual vessel was originally a transportation ship dubbed Super Servant 3, built by Japanese commercial shipbuilder Oshima Shipbuilding.
But, after being redesigned by exterior designer and 2015’s Young Designer of the Year winner Timur Bozca, OK was born.
Discussing his creation, Bozca said: “The vision was to create a floating island concept that could hold many toys – even a seaplane or another superyacht – without breaking the powerful outlines of the previous version.”
In recent years OK has resided at Karmarine Shipyard in Turkey, but it is unclear where the incredible vessel is now.
Similarly an ultra-luxury megayacht designed like a military-style aircraft carrier promises to be a sheikh’s paradise at sea.
Plans for the “Floating Dubai” vessel include an enormous pool deck, a relaxing spa and not one, but two enormous helipads on board.
Christened UAE One, the superboat was designed by Milan-based Enzo Manca, who collaborated with a sheikh to make it the flagship of the United Arab Emirates.
