    Costume - you can’t be a host/hostess of the spookiest Halloween party without making a grand entrance. Grab your Love2shop vouchers and hit Argos for some fantastic Halloween costumes! Go gothic with a Vampiress Costume, turn heads by becoming an inflatable pumpkin, or show your carnivorous side with the Hannibal the Cannibal Costume.

    Haven’t got a mask? Then head to Superdrug or Boots and have a browse through the make-up sections. Find yourself some pale powder, black eye liner and red lip stick for your vampire costume, or some purple and green eye shadow to make your eyes as evil as a witches.

    Want to make your own costume? Head to John Lewis’s haberdashery buy some material and get creative. Perhaps a Spooky Ghost outfit; buy a white sheet of material and cut out holes for your eyes and mouth. Wizards cape, choose your material, cut it to the size you want hem the edges if necessary, buy a long piece of ribbon, make some holes and tread it through the top of your cape as a neck tie.

    Food – A party wouldn’t be complete without some food and drink, so pop down to your local Iceland with your Love2shop vouchers and stock up with party food and drinks for everyone.

    Get creative and set the Scene with Halloween decorations – Fun for all the family, head to your local Rymans buy some card in a range of colours, pens, glitter, string and paint.

    Waitrose Price Match


    Waitrose has launched a price-match promise, matching prices on 1000 products to rival supermarket chain Tesco.

    The branded price-match includes well know branded staples such as Heinz baked beans and Persil washing powder.

    Waitrose says the products matched will be the 1,000 most popular among its customers, with checks made twice a week to keep the pledge up to date.

    In addition to the Essentials launch last year, the branded price-match is a commitment by the supermarket to 'bring the most delicious food at a fair price' to its customers.

    1000's of titles hit the shops


    That time of year has come when the shops are flooded with books in time for Christmas. The perfect stocking fillers, this year's selection of titles once again offers a wealth of choice.

    From celebrity biographies, TV cook books to crime thrillers... Hardback, Paperback & Ebooks there's a huge range of options out there for readers - Now it's just the trouble of choosing one!

    Here's just a selection of likely hit books this year:

    - Nigella Lawson - Kitchen
    - Cheryl Cole - Through My Eyes
    - Stephen Hawking - The Grand Design
    - Susan Boyle - The Woman I Was Born To Be
    - Ben Mezrich - Accidental Billionaires
    - Michael McIntyre - Life & Laughing

    And then there's the more 'tongue and cheek' books like 'A Simples Life: The Life and Times of Aleksandr Orlov' (or the meerkat to you and me).


    At HighStreetVouchers.com we've made the difficulty of choice much easier - Now you don't have to choose the book for them. Instead choose a gift voucher/card that gives them the choice such as Amazon Gift Cards or Love2shop Gift Vouchers (accepted at 20,000 stores including WH Smith, HMV & Waterstone's). This way, you can avoid buying them something they already have, or even worse; something they just do not want!
