These top 10 companies will help you through the festive period
IF any year called for a little bit of Christmas, it’s 2020.
It’s been a hard year all round, but luckily Christmas is just around the corner to cheer us all up.
From gifting ideas to party supplies and everything in between, these ten top companies have everything you need to get you through the festive period.
A very British Christmas
No one can argue with the fact that Christmas dinner is the pinnacle of the festive period.
It’s a meal we look forward to all year round, so it’s important to make it special. And though this Christmas will look different for most of us, thanks to the hard work of our British famers we can still enjoy a Great British Christmas dinner with ingredients that are traceable, safe and farmed with care.
Red Tractor represents over 46,000 British farmers who work 24/7 to put food on our tables, and though they have experienced much adversity this year, they have worked tirelessly to keep us fed.
Thanks to them, no matter where we are or who we’re with on the big day, we can all enjoy a delicious Christmas dinner.
So, whatever you fill your trolley with this Christmas, look for the Red Tractor logo for quality produce that’s good for you and good for British farmers.

Don’t get caught out!
This Christmas, don’t get caught out the morning after! It’s easier than you may think to have a few drinks in the evening – only to get behind the wheel the next morning and unintentionally drive with alcohol still in your system from the night before.
Remember, there is no rule of thumb as we all process alcohol differently. If you drank four pints of beer or four large glasses of wine between 9pm and midnight you could still have alcohol in your system at 11am the next day.
The AlcoSense Excel (£99.99) personal breathalyser quickly and accurately shows your alcohol level, using exactly the same alcohol sensor as several UK police approved devices, alerting you if you are close to or over the limit.
With one in five drink drive convictions happening the morning after the night before*, why risk it? Remove ‘morning after’ guesswork with an AlcoSense Excel personal breathalyser.
