Oh dear, need we look out for the eight-armed one snagging all the freebies? 
One thing I do remember from last year is getting free totes from Mastercard or something, which always comes in handy when shopping!

Re: Christmas
Can anyone suggest any free or low cost things to do in London this Saturday day time with Children, not necessarily Christmas related as we are celebrating a birthday.
I know they have reindeer's in Covent Garden but didn't know if there was anything else nearby?
