It’s that time of year. Once again, the nation dons their hats, gloves and scarves, the streets are littered with crisp, orange leaves, and the organised amongst us are on the hunt for Christmas presents. Savvy shoppers will have their eyes on Argos at the end of November, in anticipation of this year’s Black Friday deals. But what products to look out for? You’ll have to wait and see. Don't miss out on the soon to follow Cyber Monday deals either.

As the winter chill approaches, make sure your home is prepared. Electric fires will make your lounge feel cosy as the evenings get darker, and fend off the frost in the cold mornings. Winter is a good time to treat yourself to new bedding. Soft, brushed cotton bed sheets will make the long nights more comfortable and knitted throws will keep you snug. Don’t forget a hot water bottle to keep your toes warm too! And if your home collects condensation in the winter, a dehumidifier will eliminate the damp.

The world of computing is always evolving and, before you know it, your trusty old laptop with 2GB RAM can no longer keep up. The laptop market has a huge range of brands and specs to choose from, from lightweight and portable options, like the Microsoft Surface, through to gaming laptops with powerful graphics cards and processors. Speaking of gaming, there are many upcoming games to be excited about, so there's no better time to upgrade or try your first console. That’s whether you're native to the versatile Nintendo Switch, the powerful Xbox One, or the mighty PS4. And when it comes to kids, there are still ways to keep them busy without the use of screens! How about a classic? LEGO has done a stellar job connecting with our multi-media world through their many ranges. Whether they’re into Marvel, Star Wars, Minecraft, Toy Story, Disney or Harry Potter, there’s a LEGO set for everyone.
