IKEA is helping people's money go a little further this festive season by launching a deal where people can buy a Christmas tree and save some cash when shopping in the new year.

The retailer has announced it’s running a limited time festive tree offer at its Braehead store, where for every real tree purchased in store from November 23 to December 15 (whilst stocks last), customers can get a £20 IKEA voucher – an extra gift to mark the season.

The voucher is also available for pre-order on real trees in Glasgow, Edinburgh and Aberdeen. Pre-order is available in store now for collection of the real trees from November 23, meaning effectively you can get a real tree for less than a tenner.
