great discounts and bargains, but really, are we just spending money we don't have, on things we don't need?

It seems that when we see '20% off everything at River Island' advertised we seem almost pressured into just taking a quick look online, and unfortunately we end up buying things we wouldn't have looked at twice if it was even just a tenner more the previous week.

So why don't we feel guilty when we buy a bargain, and more importantly, how do we know we are actually getting a bargain? Quite simply, Christmas sales in general cause havoc for shops and shoppers and does everyone really get that much money for Christmas? I wish I did.

There have been several cases in the UK where the Police have been asked to help control the frantic shoppers and House of Fraser in London specifically asked Police to help them control the masses of budding spenders.

Black Friday appears to be a force which turns the human race into animals as they push and shove to get their unnecessary material luxuries. Need I say more.

Lady Gaga and Tony Bennett have surprised us all with their magical Christmas advert for high-street store H&M. The duo showcase a track off their new album.

The two have remastered some classic songs just in time for Christmas and Gaga's powerful sultry voice is complemented nicely by Bennett's old-school tone. The album 'Cheek to Cheek' is available to buy now, is it on your Christmas wishlist?
