Christmas Day is officially only two months away, which means you've only got 59 days left to buy your loved ones some special presents for the big day.
We're all going to be on a budget and try and stretch our cash over the festive season, and money saving expert Martin Lewis has now come up with an genius hack to help you save hundreds this festive season.
The idea came after he replied to consumer Kelly Ellis's question on Twitter, who asked Martin for advice on what to do with the points she had accumulated at health and beauty retailer Boots.
Martin advised she buy the no7 advent calendar , which has £160 worth of goods for £42 - then split it apart and use the contents as Christmas presents.
The tweet read as follows...
Buy the advent calendar as it has £160 worth of stuff for £42 then rip it apart and use the contents to give as Christmas presents https://t.co/bkZo4zhDfr

Many have since pointed out that you can't use your points towards getting one of the calendars.
But even without using vouchers, the Money Saving Expert's hack will still save you a whopping £118 on gifts if you play it right.
