Boots has embraced the Christmas spirit already, with a whole host of gift sets and stocking stuffers on its shelves. However, in these straitened times, I wonder how many Homer Simpson beer hats it is going to shift, as customers seem to be a lot less willing to part with their hard won cash for talking key rings and the like. Bypassing the premature Christmas presents, this Boots has the usual great cosmetic and toiletry ranges, and those all important offers. However, look closely before you buy, as although the buy one get one free offers are obviously a gift from the heavens, check into those«2 for € 4.50» ones — you might be saving just a few cent.
