At World Fossils, they offer a wide range of geological wonders hand-sourced from around the world including British fossils and gems, and handmade jewellery. At this unusual store, Sarah highlighted some of their unusual products that cater for both fossil lovers and those interested in gems. These include animals, rings and plants hand-carved from mammoth teeth and salt lamps (ranging from £24 to £45) which have "been proven that it draws all kinds of dampness from the air into the lamp. So people use those purely from a health point of view, as well as pretty."

A mum was trolled for spending just £100 budget on each child's Christmas presents - but says she doesn't want to "spoil" them. Samantha Mary, 35, decided to set a budget for main presents and stocking gifts for this Christmas for her one-year-old son, Jack, and nine-year-old step-daughter, Isabella. She spent £20 on stocking presents filling them with items including scrunchies, car toys, and shower gel, and £80 on main presents. She bought her son a railway set and toys for his kitchen set and found her step-daughter an art set and Lilo and Stitch vest and pants.
