With retailers pulling out the baubles in June and iconic scents like Snow Fairy flying off shelves, now is the perfect time to stock up and store away. Top tips to save for Christmas Here are Mrs Mummypenny's top tips for saving money at Christmas: 1. Save a little bit every week Placing a small amount into a savings account every week can really add up over time. Many banks offer a round-up function where daily spending is rounded up to the nearest pound, with that amount going to a separate savings pot. 2. Start planning - now If you can identify everything you'd like to do this Christmas, you can work out roughly how much you need to save to cover the entire cost. 3. Get ahead of your bills using your smart meter The screen that comes with your smart meter allows you to see your energy usage, make adjustments and save money. If you have a smart prepayment meter you can top up your credit online or over the phone from the comfort of your own sofa instead of going to the shops. 4. Use loyalty cards and vouchers to pay for Christmas presents Many places offer loyalty schemes such as supermarkets, where you can collect points and vouchers and use them to buy presents. 5. Get cash back on all online purchases Set up an account with the cash back site and go there first to find your chosen retailer. Then click through as normal to your chosen retailer or bill provider, triggering the cookies and getting you the cash back if you make a purchase. 6. Sell your clutter I urge you to spend ten minutes looking around your house and finding ten items that you no longer use or want that you can sell.

Iconic Lush product spotted in store five months early as shoppers gobsmacked
Shoppers have been left floored after an iconic Lush product has been spotted five months before it usually appears, but there is a little catch with the beloved item In a week when The Range posted that its elves are getting ready for Christmas and ITV's This Morning played Christmas music on air as Coupon King Jordan Cox spoke about Christmas deals and ways to save money, there's another confusingly Christmassy launch at Lush. Savvy shoppers have spotted that there's an early release on shelves, but they're certainly not complaining. That's right, on shelves across the UK right now, there are bottles of Snow Fairy body mist ready to be bought, and people cannot believe it. But there is a slight catch for the spray, and the other products that have appeared. The catch is that the gorgeous, sweet scent of Snow Fairy has been expertly blended with the fresh delights of Super Milk - and the results are insane. However, you can get certain products in just the Snow Fairy scent. If you're looking to bridge the gap between summer and Christmas time, then you can get a Snow Fairy Glitter Mist for £18. This will give your skin a gorgeous glow during the summer months, but adds a stunning lustre for winter, too. There's a mini version for £9, a crackling shower powder for £6, and a bubble bar on a stick in the iconic scent for £8, which should keep you going until it reappears on shelves towards the back end of 2025. But if you want something similar, but slightly different, and like the sound of Super Milk mixed with Snow Fairy, then you're in luck - it's called Super Fairy. Lush describe is on their website as being like "Sweet and salty popcorn" or "Pineapple on pizza," as they said: "Super Milk and Snow Fairy. It shouldn't work... but it totally does. "Two Lush icons collide to become the ultimate power couple. Bold, citrusy Super Milk meets Snow Fairy's candy floss sweetness in this mouth-watering mashup. Grab the body lotion, shower gel or bath bomb — or go wild and collect the whole trio. "Feeling playful yet powerful? Soft yet strong? Get you a scent that can do both". The absolutely stunning pink and white mix in the shower gel looks good enough to eat. Depending on which size you opt for, it costs from £8.50 to £27. There's also a glorious £6 bath bomb you can elevate your bath with, and a body lotion that costs £11 for 100g. TikToker @mishkaloureviews, who is based in Australia, shared a video of the whole collection, and many left comments praising the collaboration Lush had produced. One woman admitted that she'd "bought it all". "Can't wait to try," someone else penned. One Lush superfan even claimed that the collaboration was going to be "all year round," but on the UK website, it shares that it's for a "limited time only". But, we can hope that it'll be so popular they make it a permanent fixture.

Trapped ducklings rescued from water works
A family of ducklings has been rescued from a large tank at a water treatment plant in the New Forest. The five birds were found to have dropped into the deep, sheer-sided tank at Southern Water's Brockenhurst Works. Staff called Ringwood-based charity Wildlife Rescue for help to recover the trapped waterfowl from the circular treatment tank. The charity said the rescue was "not an easy task as they did not want to be caught and kept diving to avoid capture". It said the family of five were now safely on a pond at its wildlife hospital. The ducklings are expected to be released from the wildlife hospital once they have developed the feathers and strength to fly. In November, the charity helped save a swan after it crashed through a glass skylight at the Lush cosmetics warehouse in Poole, Dorset.
