We start December with the best of Christmas shopping intentions. But then things get in the way and before you know it there is only a handful of shopping days left and hardly a present bought.
The signs we're all leaving it a bit late are there: last weekend the busiest in the shopping calendar we spent a whopping £1.75bn on gifts. The number of shoppers in London's West End was up 17.5 per cent on last year.
But what if you haven't had a chance to contribute to this retail boost and, in fact, would rather eat your shopping list than attempt to elbow your way through high street crowds?
Don't panic, theres still time
you can shop online!
