While Christmas is still over three months away, savvy shoppers will be aware of all the benefits of starting festive shopping early. Not only does it spread the cost over a few months, it reduces stress and panic-buying come December.
It also allows you to get your hands on deals that otherwise wouldn’t be available in the days and weeks before December 25. Ideal for money-conscious shoppers, I’ve found a deal at John Lewis that gets you a luxury Christmas cracker for free.
The Oak & Willow Lip Balm and Hand Cream Fabric Cracker costs £15 but those who make their purchase through TopCashback can get it for nothing, all you need to do is pay for shipping. While the process might sound daunting, it’s free quick and simple to do.

TopCashback is offering new members of its free money-saving club a free £15 sign-up bonus as well as cashback on any purchase of £15 or more at John Lewis. This effectively means the Oak & Willow Lip Balm and Hand Cream Fabric Cracker is free (or £2.83 with shipping) after cashback is applied.
Existing TopCashback members will not be eligible for the £15 rebate but will still receive cashback on their purchase. This makes the Christmas cracker £13.33 or £17.83 with delivery.
Shoppers will need to make the initial £15 spend, but this money in the form of cashback will be returned to your TopCashback account ready to be sent to any bank or Paypal account. It’s worth noting that cashback is not paid instantly and can take up to seven days to land in accounts.
The TopCashback deal has been calculated including delivery, which costs from £4.50 for orders under £50 and is free for orders valued at £40 more more. Collection from store costs £2.95 and shoppers can get free click and collect on orders over £40.

Perfect for the festive table, the Oak & Willow Lip Balm and Hand Cream Fabric Cracker is bowed with deep orange velvet ribbon around a matching, treats-filled drum. The surprise inside? A fragrance-free vitamin E lip balm and Clementine & Clove hand cream.
Formulated with skin-loving cocoa butter, shea butter, jojoba and macadamia oils the velvety cream is blended to leave hands feeling soft. Comforting Yuletide notes of uplifting clementine and essential oils of orange and clove leave skin delicately scented.
Elsewhere, White Company’s Winter Cracker Hand & Nail Gift Set costs £20. The cracker features a festive two-piece hand care duo with a magical scent combination of spicy cinnamon, rich warming clove and fresh zesty orange.
Alternatively, Molton Brown’s Coastal Cypress & Sea Fennel Christmas Cracker is available for £22 at Sephora. An impressive way to spruce up your tablescape, the cracker contains a bottle of Eau de Toilette and a Bath & Shower Gel in travel sizes.
The lucky recipient takes home the scent of bracing coastal air, fresh with blue cypress, marine notes and cool cardamom. Boasting 30 five-star reviews, one shopper said: “Bought this as a gift and it was gratefully received. The scent is fresh and lasts all day.”
Back at John Lewis, the Oak & Willow Lip Balm and Hand Cream Fabric Cracker is yet to receive any reviews shoppers. While it is guaranteed to be a popular festive option, there are some things to bear in mind before purchasing.
The cracker only comes in one colour which may not be to everyone’s tastes. As the hand cream features an elaborate festive scent, the fragrance-free lip balm may feel a bit underwhelming next to it.
