DON’T PINE FOR GOLD CONES
IF YOU’RE the type of person who bothers to make your own Christmas decorations, you’ve probably got a bit of time on your hands. And you’re likely to be the sort who is keen on saving money. So would you really spend £7.43, plus £18.58 in postage and packaging, for 12 goldpainted pine cones from the online shop Etsy? Yet some punters are falling for the charm of something you could make yourself.
SHOP PRICE: £26.01, including P&P.
DIY PRICE: Pine cones free from the park, plus £1 for a tube of gold paint or £1.75 for a spray can.
