The holidays are here and your diary is packed. Your purse, however, isn’t.

Check out Mum Said for decent last-minute buys. Founded by interior designer Kimberley Cohu, the site sells nursery furniture and children’s accessories from UK and US-based artisans.

Find a hand-painted pumpkin cot for baby, a cashmere biker hoodie for a little hell’s angel or a fairy-tale toy chest. Also on offer: the services of an in-house muralist who’ll transform a nursery into Narnia. For the purse-practical, Mum Said’s ‘£50 and under’ section proffers Swankie Blankies, reversible bibs and a Pee-pee Teepee.

Because if you look after the pennies?

The pounds will look after themselves.

Available online at mumsaid.co.uk. Order by 2 p.m. on 22 December for delivery on 24 December.
