According to the Times yesterday, millions of online shoppers will see price rises before Christmas.

They say electrical retailers are increasing the prices of items on web sites so that they match the high street prices. This means that the DVD recorder, digital camera, PSP or iPod that you were going to buy as a Christmas present could get more expensive in the next few weeks.

Our advice? Get shopping now, then you can spend December with your feet up playing with all these toys before you have to wrap them up again!
