In 2007 Ebay told us that us Brits auctioned off a whopping £1.7billion worth of unwanted Christmas gifts.

The average household will receive £600 worth of gifts, and research shows that parents spend an average of £200-£300 on each child, but enough of the statistics.

What we are trying to say is that if you are going to spend a lot this Christmas, make sure it counts.

Children are easy, they started writing their Christmas letters in June but as they get older they get significantly more difficult to buy for.

In their teenage years you’ll find yourself opting for store vouchers, after asking what they want and facing a half-hearted 'dunno' as the reply.

Make a list of all the people who you need to buy gifts for and consult our magnificent gift guide for the ones that are proving most difficult.
