With Christmas fast approaching I have spent the last few days researching all kinds of gifts that I would like to buy for friends and family, I bet most of you have too.
One of my biggest pet peeves is wasting money on gifts just for the sake of buying something, so I really try to research what I'm getting and love getting things that are a bit out of the box. Luckily for me, I...
