A mum has shared a genius tip for parents struggling to afford gifts this Christmas - and all you'll need is some balloons.

Mum-of-two Hannah Stocker has shared an incredible tip for parents who can't afford a 'huge pile of presents' this Christmas, revealing that she plays a fun balloon game with her kids.

Sharing the idea on Facebook, she revealed that the game was hugely popular with her sons Leo and Charlie last year.

She wrote: "If anyone out there is struggling for money this year, I just wanted to share this with you..

"Last year I felt guilty that I couldn't provide that huge pile of presents for my boys, that I wanted to, so I decided to cover the floor with balloons to hide the lack of presents, which worked a treat.

"Some of the balloons had the boys names on them and when they found their balloons they popped them and inside were coins ranging from 20p to £1 and a surprise £5 note.

"I also brought them a money box that counted the money as they put it in. They each had £50 in total".

Hannah, who used eco-friendly balloons for the game, revealed that her sons had asked her to do the balloon game again this Christmas.
