Hi ,

THREE THINGS YOU MUST DO THIS WEEK

Make your child's Christmas magical for a fiver... by sending them a personalised letter from Santa himself. The NSPCC has a wonderful campaign running right now which will light up your little one's memories of Christmas whilst helping to end cruelty to other children for good.

For just £5 you can arrange for this precious letter to be delivered straight to your little ones front door courtesy of Rudolph Mail (who else?!). Watch their eyes widen as they realise just how much Santa knows about them, and know that your £5 has helped one other child reach out for care and support this Christmas.
 
 
Treat your teenager to a Christmas card they'll love... the MeCard for over 13s. It's a prepaid MasterCard that can be loaded up by savvy parents. You can log on and keep an eye on how much your son or daughter spends whilst giving them the freedom to manage their own cash.

The MeCard works just like any MasterCard - it can be used in store, online or over the phone. Your teenager can even use it to draw money out during school trips abroad, leaving you with the peace of mind that they'll never be stuck for cash. It costs £9.99 but comes pre-loaded with £10 credit.

Your Exclusive Offer! As a thank you for taking out the card the team at MeCard are giving you 20% off at dotcomgiftshop.com PLUS £12.50 credit instead of £10! Don't miss out - get yours now!

P.S. Don't forget to check out Jasmine's blog this week - she thinks the MeCard's great too! 
 
Beat the banks and the high street... by getting your foreign currency from Moneycorp.

They've already won awards for their online service - and we're massive fans too. Why? Because they offer bank-beating rates and are cheaper than the high street.

Completing a single €500 transaction online with Moneycorp costs up to £20 less than via a high street bureau - and it's all from the comfort of your own home! Plus they offer free next-day home delivery for orders worth £500 or more.

For a great rate on your foreign currency visit Moneycorp now.

10 QUESTIONS YOU MUST FACE ABOUT YOUR FINANCES

Are you really on top of your finances? Do you know everything you need to know? Make sure you read our 10 questions and find out which areas of your finances you need to be thinking about (and the simple things you can do to improve them).

MAKE MONEY FROM BAKING THIS CHRISTMAS

Why not make money from baking this Christmas? If you're a bit of a whizz in the kitchen, you could make delicious cakes, sweets and biscuits and sell them for a profit. See how here.

MAKE OVER 6% WITH SOCIAL LENDING

Anyone with a savings account will know that interest rates are dismal at the moment. Many of us are getting no more than 3%, with some getting as little as 0.5%. However a new phenomenon known as social lending can deliver brilliant savings rates - often 6% or more! Get the lowdown on it here.

GIVE £100s TO CHARITY - WITHOUT SPENDING A PENNY!

Charities are suffering in these tough times, as so many of us feel we can't afford to give - as much as we'd like to. Well, this is the giving season so here at Moneymagpie, so we've uncovered a host of ways you can still give to your favourite cause without spending so much as a single penny!

WIN! A TEAR AND SHARE SWEETIE HAMPER

A host of nostaligic sweet sensations for the whole family to enjoy. The old fashioned favourites include Curly Wurlys, Cola Cubes, Black Jacks and Poppets, all packed into a wicker hamper.
