Holiday hotspots can be crowded and expensive, so visit a less well-known location with similar attractions.

For a beach break, swap Cancun, Mexico, for Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic. For alpine adventures, replace Switzerland with Slovenia.

Remember that multiple travel agents may sell the same deal if booking a package holiday.

Once youโ€™ve got a quote, see if you can get the same deal for less from a competitor.

A flight can look like a bargain until you go to book - and the price doubles once you include luggage.

It can be better value to choose a more expensive flight that includes hold luggage.

Are you thinking of upsizing in 2025?

Knowing what type of upsizer you are is the first step to finding the perfect new home.

Downsizers are a key part of the housing sector, but their motivations for moving are changing.

A recent report* found two groups of downsizers have grown significantly in number in the past seven years.

These are:

This group want a much smaller home (at least two fewer bedrooms) and a property with a lower price tag.

In the face of cost-of-living pressures, downsizers in this group jumped from 16% in 2017 to 25% in 2024.

An increasing number of downsizers are moving primarily to trade down in value โ€“ size isnโ€™t the issue.

Perhaps because of rising mortgage costs, 40% of downsizers now fall into this group. It was 27% in 2017.

If youโ€™ve received some Christmas gifts you donโ€™t want or like, then regifting them can be the perfect solution.

Hereโ€™s how to do it successfully.

Regifting is more popular than you might think โ€“ 89% of people have done it*.

People regift for convenience, environmental reasons, and to save money.

๐—ง๐—ต๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ธ ๐—ฐ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ณ๐˜‚๐—น๐—น๐˜†
Donโ€™t dump your unwanted gift on just anyone. Think about who would like it or find it useful.

If youโ€™re uncertain about regifting an item, donate it to a charity shop or tombola stall instead.

๐—ฃ๐—น๐—ฎ๐—ป ๐—ฎ๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—ฑ
Store each unwanted item away carefully.

Avoid regifting to the original giver (or their family or friends) by attaching a label saying who gave it to you and when.
