BOOTS has slashed the price of some designer gift sets by more than half - ideal for last minute shoppers.
Estée Lauder, Ted Baker and No7 are just some of the brands that are in the pre-Christmas sale.
The discounts can be bought online and in store as long as they're still in stock.
Boots shops remain open across the UK regardless of local coronavirus lockdown restrictions because it is considered to be an essential retailer.
Opening hours may vary though so it's worth checking when your local branch is open using the .
Online shoppers will need to take into account the delivery costs which will eat into any savings made.
How to compare prices to get the best deal
JUST because something is on offer, or is part of a sale, it doesn't mean it's always a good deal.
There are plenty of comparison websites out there that'll check prices for you - so don't be left paying more than you have to.
Most of them work by comparing the prices across hundreds of retailers.
Here are some that we recommend:
- is a tool that lets users search for and compare prices for products across the web. Simply type in keywords, or a product number, to bring up search results.
- logs the history of how much something costs from over 3,000 different retailers, including Argos, Amazon, eBay and the supermarkets. Once you select an individual product you can quickly compare which stores have the best price and which have it in stock.
- is another website that lets you compare prices between retailers. All shoppers need to do is search for the item they need and the website will rank them from the cheapest to the most expensive one.
- only works on goods being sold on Amazon. To use it, type in the URL of the product you want to check the price of.
Boots charges between £3.50 and £5.50 for the service depending on when you want it to arrive.
Shoppers should also be aware that the final date gifts can be ordered to arrive before Christmas has already passed.
Alternatively, you can pay £1.50 for click and collect on orders over £20.
If you order by 6pm today (Tuesday December 22) you can get it in time for Christmas with click and collect.
