Create your own hamper full of gifts your friends and family will actually love this Christmas

‘Tis the season to overindulge, but one area we could do with cutting back on this Christmas is spending! Christmas time often sees a last-minute dash to the shops to pick up presents you know are going to get re-gifted eventually. Make sure your presents are all winners this year with LloydsPharmacy’s hand-picked Christmas gift collection, full of essentials to make sure everyone on your list gets a gift they’ll actually enjoy.
