This week the stars were out in their finery, braving the heavy LA downpours, for the 67th Golden Globe Awards, and although the big winner Avatar came as no surprise to anyone, British hopes Helen Mirren, Emily Blunt and Carey Mulligan left empty-handed.
However, while we Brits didn't receive any gongs in Hollywood, Savoo has come to the rescue with some amazing deals that'll let you all travel the 'Golden' Globe in style without costing an arm and a leg.
Here in the UK we have seen appalling weather this Christmas week, with plummeting temperatures, black ice, and deep blankets of snow meaning most of us have decided to venture out only when completely essential. Of course, this means the shops on the High Street have lost out on your business, and in a bid to shift huge levels of excess stock, today sees an unprecedented number of stores launch their Boxing Day sales online. Yes, two days early for a lot of shops, with others such as Argos and M&S launching their sales a day early tomorrow. Even High Street favourite Next is succumbing to the trend, for the first time launching their sale on Boxing Day, instead of their more traditional 27th December. So to help you grab the best bargains, here at Savoo we've listed some of the top High Street shops launching their sales online.
It's Christmas week, the tree is up and the decorations are sparkling
in the glow of numerous fairy lights. The radio is blasting out all our
favourite Christmas songs like Slade's Merry Christmas Everybody, Band Aid's Do they Know it's Christmas and - my personal favourite - Kirsty MacColl and the Pogues Fairytale in New York. And all the presents are bought and sitting in the back of a cupboard waiting to be wrapped.
Everything for Christmas 2009 is well and truly under control - well everything except the
food, if recent statistics from Asda are to be believed. Their research
suggests that the busiest time in-store will be at 12:17pm on Wednesday
23rd December. So, in order to miss the queues we've come up with the
best voucher codes for you to shop online for everything from the first
brussel sprout to the last crumb of Christmas pud.
With only seven days left until Christmas, more than 25 per cent of us still haven't finished our Christmas shopping. Now, traditionally it's been men who have left their gift buying to the last minute, popping into the nearest department store on their way home from work (or pre-Christmas drinks) on Christmas Eve. However, many women now admit to not having completed their shopping with less than 24 hours before the most festive - and stressful - day of the year.
Okay, so this isn't necessarily a guide by or for robots but the
video with its funky robot skier and weird musical medley, is cool.
We just want to make sure that the skiing robots out there don't
feel left out.
As we rapidly move towards winter, expectations amongst
dedicated human and robot skiers alike start to rise. When will the
snow come? Which mountains will be best? Will it snow at all?
Where's my oil?
These are questions best answered by the snow
report professionals so I will leave you to hunt down the best
conditions and make your own choice of destination. However, if you
would rather just jump right in and get the best price on any
resort, check out our ski and snow
deals section for some inspiration.
Once you've figured out where you would like to go, it's time to
get down to the nuts and bolts (ahem..) i.e. how much will this
cost me? This is where we at Savoo come in. Here are some great
places to begin on your search for the very best deals on all
things ski and snowboarding.
Halloween is the one night of the year where it's not only okay
but positively encouraged to dress up in ghoulish costumes and
knock on neighbour's door to blackmail them with a trick if they
don't cough up some nice chocolates, sweets or other tasty goodies.
Of course, it's all about getting into the
spirit of the occasion so that the real
witches, ghosts and monsters can have a night off (at least that's
what my big brother told me when I was 5 or 6 years old!)
Now for those of us who aren't parents there probably isn't
anything more horrifying than hoards of children in fancy dress
traipsing up and down the path to your front door. And to those of
us who are parents well, lets face it, the cost of this pagan
festival just seems to get higher every year. And even the most
hardened of us are softened by the sad little face of a 3 year old
goblin turned away without any treat at all!
So time to shop Savoo for some great Halloween
deals that will put a smile on the face of every witch, gremlin
and zombie on your street.
It only seems like five minutes since the kids went back to
school after the summer holidays, yet half term is already
practically upon us, and while summer wasn't exactly the best
weather we've ever had, the last week in October is predicted by
the Met
Office to be wet and windy. Of course, most parents are fully
familiar with the maths equation "rain+boredom = irritable
children" (and by default even more irritable adults!). So the
dilemma is this; How do we keep the autumnal stormsoutsidethe house this half term?
As frightening as it seems, with summer barely behind us and
Christmas still more than three months away, a study by Asda this week has
shown that half of us have already started our Christmas
shopping!
Now I love Christmas, it's one of my favourite days of the year
(although Boxing Day is the best!) but even with 5 kids to 'Santa
shop' for, I just can't contemplate the thought of Christmas in
September. So why are so many Brits starting their
Christmas shop so early this year? Believe it or not it's the new
answer to Christmas in a recession - forget buying less, just buy
at better times....
This year a huge number of us have decided to forego a foreign
summer holiday in favour of staying at home. Of course, while we
all know this is partly due to the credit crunch, a lot of us
(stupidly!) put our faith in the Met Office, believing that we were
in for August sunshine fit to rival our European counterparts.
The reality of course is very different, with our blue sunny
skies well and truly hidden by ominous looking storm clouds, and
picnics in the park replaced by takeout in front of the TV! What
better time, then, to use the washout to clean up your finances?
See how much money you can save with these simple top tips. Who
knows, you could even save enough to pay for next
year's holiday
As all you Mums and Dads will know, the Summer Half Term holiday
this year is from Monday 25th May to Friday 29th May, and it's the
last holiday of the school year before the long summer break. All
over the UK, thousands of parents are wondering how they'll keep
the kids entertained, their own sanity intact, and at the same time
not break the bank. Here at Savoo we've come up with the best
bargains on loads of activities to keep the kids busy, from hugely
discounted toys and games, to fantastic deals on day trips and
holidays. With exclusive voucher codes, massive discounts and
incredible special offers, we can guarantee to save you money this
Half Term. Of course, we can't say the same for your sanity,
although with all these savings you'd be mad not to take
advantage of them!
