With Christmas a little over a month away, it’s time to start thinking about what you’ll be buying your loved ones to wrap up under the tree.

Journalism.co.uk reported on a recent survey by Bobatoo, which revealed that two-thirds of UK shoppers plan to spend less on Christmas this year than they did last year. On average, people expect to spend under £300 doing all their festive present buying this year.

So if you’re on a tight budget this festive season what can you buy people without breaking the bank?

We think that photographic gifts are a great choice, and ones that have meaning. Choose a picture of people, places or even pets that mean something to you and have them reproduced with digital canvas printing to create a stylish and personalised gift.

If you can’t decide on just one photo for a gift, why not buy a photo album and print out a selection of pictures that will remind your loved one of a trip you took together, or even just of a fun and memorable day you spent together?

Although the BBC recently reported that 18 per cent of Brits were expecting to have finished their Christmas shopping by the end of October, that still leaves almost four-fifths of us looking for gifts as we move closer to December.

If you start thinking about it now, you’ve got time to organise personalised gifts, like photographic canvases, before the mad rush in December. And by planning ahead, you can make sure you find the best deals and don’t overspend on your festive budget.
